First IBnllOt,

| 1 he gathering was in striking contrast

| Everyone comedies that the Democrats
| have placed very strong tickle! in the
| field, and that tlcre is Il good chance
for its ratification at the polls in view
of the maladministration of the Republic
can officials, who have left the treasury
without enough to ruin the city schools
I he leading Republican paper in the city
| recognizes the strength and popularity
says:
Mr.. Grays victory in the Democratic
! caucuses and city con ~ ltlcl was an
| easy one. Comparatively little interest
was taken in the ca,.c,,s:rs, barely enough
people lieing in attendance III a mum
Der of instances to Gll the Offices Of
| judges and clerks and supply the neces-
sary number OF delegates. Thts IS not u
Decomratic year, and even Democrats
themselves are taking comparatively lit
| tie interest in the operation of Deinc-
cratic machinery.
at cannot be said. however, that Mr..
| GRAY i. not to be taken into account IN
| the tall campaign. TIC man who op-
poses him will find that lie is good
deal stronger than his party and while
| the Democrats may not attend the pri-
/ maries in very large numbers, there will
| he good many Gray votes in the ballot
boxes in November.
"Mr. Gray represents the younger and
more progressive element of the party
! and will have the warm support of that
class of voters, strengthened to great
er OF less extent by his wide acquain-
| lance and personal popularity in the
| city.
Minneapolis is naturally Republican
city. The people who want good gov
eminent in this city look to the Republic
cans to give it to them. Friends of
good government in the different wards,
where the good government principle is
active, are organizing in support Of Re
publican candidates regardless of their
own political affiliations. It., therefore,
becomes of the highest Importance that
the Republicans should make no mistake
in the choice of mayor, rs the head Of the
! ticket will affect materially the success
of every other candidate. The nominee
of the Republican party this year should
be man who VII command the full
vote of the party and more, not only for
his own sake, but for The sake of the
important interests at stake in The alder
mamie elections
/ Titus Marcck for treasurer is splen-
! did nomination. f. n. Stacy is emil
nently fitted for comptroller, and the
candidates for the park. school and H.
brary boards have been wisely selected
1t would be difficult TO improve on the
ticket from top to bottom, and before
| the campaign is over the lcoplc will
| realize that it. is to the city's advantage
that the ticket be eleccd by an over
whelming majority.
