POLITICAL TALK OF THE STATE.
Report Says That Gov. CIough VIII
Not Make an Effort for Renom-
tnation.
While Aid. Hare Is not harassed by
any doubts of his future appointment
to the board of public works, he would
feel much easier If he knew the name
Of the Sixth warder who is to succeed
him in the board Of aldermen after
March 1. Aid. Hare is a Democrat
himself and he wants a Democrat to
step into his Shoes He insists that
this Democrat shall be man who will
represent the people of the Sixth ward,
and especially the working classes.
There have been one or two men
mentioned as likely successors of mine
in the board of aldermen" said Aid.
Hare yesterday, whom I do not APP
prove of. One Of these is John " I.
Dodd. I have no hesitation in saying
that the election of Mr.. Dodd as an
alderman from the Sixth ward would
be extremely distastefuI to me. and. /
am confident, to the great majority in
the Sixth ward. The people Of my ward
will doubtless understand my objee-
lions to such a choice"
Have you any favorite for the
placer"
Il cannot say that 1 have" re-
sponded Aid. Hare, "but have in mind
one man who would, I am sure, prove
satisfactory to the labor element, and
that is John F. Krieger, Of the trades
and labor assembly. In any event I
would like tc see a man chosen who
could be nominated and elected at the
May election without arousing any
political jealouSies or chickering's"
Aid. Hare's successor who will serve
out the balance of his term will be
chosen by the ten remaining alder
men after Aid. Hare's resignation has
been accepted. Of these ten aldermen.

Paul Quehl will be the candidate Of the
four Republican aldermen, but the pos
sibility Of Republican, success in this
contest is remote Ex-Ald Melady is
said to be another Democratic candi-
date, but it is probable that Aid Hare's
choice will prevail, as it is customary
to follow the Recommendation of the
retiring aldermen. 81 "a
Assemblyman ,tReardon wants to
serve still another term in the city
council, Notwithstanding his unsavory
record in the assembly during the past
eighteen months, ga record of which
his Republican colleagues are ashamed
Ih1s time, however, Reardon will tempt
rate by running for alderman in the
Ninth ward against Aid. Murphy,
VINO will be the inevitable candidate
of the Democratic party.
1t is conceded on all sides that Aid
Murphy has achieved an enviable record
in the board of aldermen, as one of
the most active, earnest andi vigilant
members of that body The honesty
of his motives has never been ques-
toned. He has always taken deep
interest in municipal affairs, and made
1T his business to inform himself ac-
curately and thoroughly upon all ques-
lions coming before the council. His
constituents recognize with gratitude
the services Of their representative
His reelection is assured.
That Reardon's personal dislike of
Mr.. Murphy should nettle him into pos
ing as candidate for alderman of the
Ninth. ware. is regarded as cause for
rejoicing. even among the Republicans
For those Republicans who have kept
track. Of Reardon during the past
eighteen months long for his retire
ment. They feel that the most effectual
scheme to. squelch him would be to give
him the nomination for alderman of
the Ninth ward and let him run against
Aid. Murphy.
A prominent Republican city Off
cial said yesterday of Reardon's record
in the city council: "a man who scarce
ly ever rises to his feet in the city
council except to SANDER other men, or
else to impugn the motives of his col
leagues, is not fit to represent the peo-
pie in any legislature. Time and time
again has Reardon vilified the charac-
ters of respectable men, and when
taken to task for his ISLANDERS, he has
retreated behind the lame excuse,
Well 1 don't know of my own knowl-
edge, but that's what I've been told
''The citizens of st. Paul will be slow
to forget the despicable conduct of this
man, who, right after his election a
y
wholesale charges that the public
schools Of st. Paul were full of i'm
morality. Yet not single charge
could he prove, for there was not the
slightest foundation for his accusa-
tons. This dastardlyi conduct alone
should relegate Reardon back to pri-
vate life"
A rumor has comes+from the north
that friends of Tams BiXby are COS
siping in that Locality that Gov.
Clough has about decided to with
draw and leave his strength to his pri-
vate secretary. It seems likely that
this is about as farts as any such
scheme will ever get, for, aside from
the noted disincli1fation of the Mime
apolis lumberman to: drop a lively
fight, it is not believed that Secretary
Bixby has any idea Of trying for the
nomination. -
Be that as it may, there is no ques-
ton that the entrance into the cam
paign of ex-Gov. fMcGill has caused a
more marked change in the course of
the campaign than any previous de-
velopment, and the apparent prospect
of his carrying Ramsey nearly solid
makes it absolutely essential that Gov.
Clough should carry Minneapolis with
an equally unbroken phalanx. Not
only will McGill prove strong in the
city where he has lately made his resi-
dence, but he is the logical candidate,
in many ways, of the advocates of
turning down the machine"
