Young Horace Bigelow, Republican candi-
date for alderman, has been detected circulat-
ing tickets bearing the name "HoreJs Blge-
Iowsky'' among the Bohemians of the Fifth
ward. It's shrewd move, and Bigelow may
be glad to change his name entirely when
Ed Murnane gets through with him.
Citizens should bear in mind, and tell their
neighbors that even if a moves into
new ward or precinct after he has registered
he is still entitled to vote in the precinct where
he formerly resided. 1t is decidedly import
ant that voters should bear this fact in mind.

At 937 West Seventh street several hundred
citizens gathered last night to hear Demo-
cratic speakers discuss local issues. Fred
erick L. McGhee went over the ground of the
present campaign most thoroughly, and proved
a very popular speaker. Joseph Haag, candi-
date for the assembly, and Ed Murnane, can
didate for alderman, defined their views on
municipal affairs in a few brief, plain words,
which were more heartily applauded than the
rounded periods of orators command. In the
language of the Dispatch, John ]. Ryder also
spcke,' and was respectfully listened to. He
devoted his remarks to exposing the bold
faced character Of the lie that A. w. Ander-
son and other irresponsible Republican speak
ers are circulating, that o. o. Cullen has said
"a dollar day is enough for workingmen."
From the council records, Mr.. Cullen's record
was shown without reservation, and the way
in which it was received showed the audience
knows an honest man when they hear his
words and consider his actions.
One of the Republican newspapers is out
with a coupon scheme by which person who
guesses what plurality Doran will have is to
be given a season base ball ticket. The fact
that one of the conditions is that Doran must
have plurality indicates that there is no
chance of the Republican organ being obliged
to make good for the ticket.
In speech in the Seventh ward Thursday
night, Mr. Doran said: mo unworthy man

hopes Of the gang who relying on prom

hurried call for meeting Of the Demo-
cratic precinct committeeman at Assembly
hail. last night, resulted in a surprising at
tendance. The main hall was filed. Many
were obliged to remain standing throughout
long and interesting session. Chairman J.
c. Michael, of the city committee, expressed
his qualification at the prompt attendance
from representatives, apparently, of every
precinct in st. Paul. 1t showed, he said
that although the local organization of the
party had been delayed, yet Republican work
They evidently lacked the practical enthu-
sasm of the Democracy. Mr.. Michael urged
the committee men to attend strictly to their
duties He said that he knew of Republican
judges of election who were becoming active

most offensive sense, but he hoped that the
Democratic judges would remember that they

could be readily secured by no other means,
he would promise the man position-usually
on the police force. At least 500 workers for
the West side candidate had been forced into
line by the promises of places as patrolmen.
Mr.. Michael called upon every one present
to ask questions, if he did not understand his
duties, or, If being judge of election, he did
not fully comprehend the election law of this
state. 1t was suggested that private meet
ing of the judges alone, and after the main
meeting, would be more convenient for the
Judges and would interfere less with the
business of the main session. Thereupon sew
eral gentlemen arose to protest against
even the appearance of secrecy in the conduct
of the campaign.
