trap for the unwary.
And the Judges, Too.
Judge Twohy's remarks were con-
fined to the need for reform in mu-
nicipal affairs in ST. Paul. He paid
high tribute to DR.. Schiffmann, and
urged that he be elected in order that
st. Paul might benefit by his good
services. DR.. Schiffmann would GER
tainly give the city pure, honorable
administration.
Judge Egan followed in one of his
Characteristic speeches, keeping his
hearers in a mirthful mood.
Cheers -four Murphy.
Edward L. Murphy, when introduced,
was greeted with wild cheers. He
expressed delight with the large at
tendance at this important meeting

He believed the Democrat Citizens
ticket was the best ever offered the
citizens Of ST. Paul. He warned his
hearers to beware of the Erwin tail
to the Kiefer kite. He denounced the
men who are back of Erwin, and asked
II the Democrats of st. Paul were
blind enough to follow such lot. He
hoped not. Mr.. Murphy heartily urged
his hearers to earnestly support DR..
Schiffmann for mayor His election
meant that st. Paul would be run as
metropolitan city, and not as a
country village. The police of the city
had been assessed to raise a cam
paign fund for Kiefer. City employees
In humble positions were paid 81 per
day. If the Democratic Citizens ticket
was elected, that injustice would be

Louis Betz's Advice.
Louis Betz said the Democrat Citi-
zens' ticket was admittedly the best
presented for the suffrages of the peo-
pie in recent years. DR.. Schiffmann
was man whose record as a citizen
could not be fairly assailed. Even the
most rabid of his opponents were COM
PEELED to admit as much.

ACTS AS A BOOMERANG.
Attacks on DR.. Schiffmann's School
Record Only Aid Him.

Attacks on DR.. Schifmann's School
Record Only Aid Him.
The absurdity of the weakly attack on the
record of DR.. Schiffmann while on the school
board has forced into the line of his sup
porters a number of Republicans who are
attacked when the doctor Is criticised because
he found St. Paul suffering with a school
system that might have been all right in
Mendoza and helped make it meet the require
ments of city that trebled it's population
during the time that he was on the school
hoard.
His confreres in developing the resources
of the city in the matter of education were
such men as A. B. Wilgus, the late Judge
Kerr, George Benz. who is likely to make
trouble for any one who impugns his nteg-
rity or his administration of finances; DR.. E.
j. Abbott, Chairman Horn Of the charter
commission; Harvey Officer, B. F. Wright,
who was superintendent during part of the
time of Dr. Schiffmann's service; Judge Willis
and others of equal repute and standing.
Ii the silly attacks made should resolve
themselves into something more specific and
reasonable. DR.. Schiffmann and these other
gentlemen will find a way to refute them
that will not be at all satisfactory to their
exploiters.

but in my opinion the repeal of the amend
ment of 1891 in no way effected the salary
appropriation originally passed by the legis-
lature of 1889. Another law was passed in
loeo, which provided for the payment of the
assessors salary, but which was afterwards
declared unconstitutional
There seems to be no doubt but what the
county assessor can draw his salary as the
passage and subsequent repeal of amend
ments would not make the law of 1889 in
valid"

ASSESSOR sENG's SALARY.
Bank Examiner Kenyon Thinks the
Law of 1850 on That Point Is All

Right.
Bank Examiner Kenyon took exception yes
to-day afternoon to an article, which appeal
ca In a morning paper yesterday morning,
relating to the salary Of the county assessor
of Ramsey county.
The article set forth that under the law
as 1t stood now. the Office of county assessor
was without salary, owing to the repeal of
chapter 44O. of the Special Laws of 1891. In
speaking OF the matter Mr.. Kenyon said:
Chapter 439, Of the Special Laws of 1859.
provided for the salary of this office at ss
1OO. during even numbered years. and s11 900
that the salary should be paid in regular
monthly installments.
owing to the volume of business, which
was done by the assessor during the early
part OF the year. necessitating the hire OF
cleI rs and assessors, the legislature passed a
law which made a good proportion of the
salary available when the assessment roll was
being made up in the spring This law was
of 1891
1.-The legislature of 1893 passed a law which
repealed the amendment providing for the
change in the manner of payment of salary.
