The Saint Paul globe., 1898-11-08

record of forty years of Republican
rule in this state was broken, and that
John Lind was the man who would
break it. The crowd appIauded the
name of the Democratic candidate for
governor to the echo. Mr.. PEBBLES ad-
monished them to vote the ticket c&rly
and to induce all their friends to vote
it, so that there would be no absentees
from the polls. 1t was necessary, he
said, that every Democratic vote
should be cast, for, though it was GER
tain that Lind would be elected, lis
majority could not be too large. 1t
was especially necessary that Lind
should carry Ramsey county with a
trickery on the part of Republican
managers in remote counties might be
overcome.
A rattling speech was delivered by
John Cavanagh, candidate for probate
judge, and he was followed by Daniel
w. Lawler. Mr.. Lawler denounced the
Republicans for calling Democrats
every soldier who voted the Demo-
cratic ticket.
"Who," he said, "can find fault with
the Democratic ticket headed by John
CaVanagh? The time has come VIII IN
to the legislative halls should be sent
men of character and ability. Such
men have been nominated by the DEM
ocrats. Mr. Juenemann is loyal Dem
ocrat, and it is your duty to elect him
and send him back to represent You
beneath the lofty dome of yonder cap
itOl. 1t is SuperhuouS to say anything
of your candidate for SENATOR John a.
Ives. He has served several years il
the legislature, and his record is
tower of strength to the ticket He is
Af f1zT ~loA
and fight the improper schemes that
are the bane of every legislature.
Judge Bunn's record is already
made, and no more fearless judge ever
graced the bench of Ramsey county.
He has won a judicial reputation that
establishes him as one of the great
jurists of the commonwealth of Mime
sofa.
James C. Michael, your candidate
for district court judge, has lived all
his life among you, and his life is AN
open book in this city, and, whether
he be elected or defeated the luster
of his Democracy will never be dim
med. He is entitled to be judge OF
the district court Of Ramsey county.
1.-THE Democracy of Ramsey county
whenever in the majority was always
willing to make the bench non-partisan
by dividing it evenly with the Repub-
licans. But six years ago, when Gov
Merriam nominated a Republican to
succeed a Democratic judge, the rule
was broken and the Republican the
next year went down in defeat before
the white plume of John w.
Willis, and when you elect Judge
Willis to congress you will but admin,
lister another rebuke TO the Republic
ans and repeat history.
''There is no need to speak of Anton
Miesen. He is a Democrat in all the
term implies He is willing to stand
UP for ell he ever said or did. He can
not make mistakes if he would, for
the next two years Billy Platte will be
auditor to see that no mistakes ara
made. There is no more able man in
Ramsey county than William Platte
no man whose record and reputation
are better.
'You know Victor C. Gilman, candi,
date for register of deeds. He could
not vote anything but the Democratic
ticket if he tried.
John Wagner is elected sheriff Of
Ramsey county tonight There is no
possibility Of defeating him, and the
only question is as to the size Of his
majority
"I come now to a subject that is a
! delicate one for me. 1 have nothing to
say against the Republican candidate
| for county attorney. Four years ago ha
was my partner and sat at an adjoin-
| ing desk in the same office with me,
| but say there is no more competent
| and able counselor ever nominated for
| office than Herman Oppenheim, the
| Democratic nominee. If he is elected
| there will be only one county attorney
and his name will be Herman Open,
helm. He will make mistakes. No man
ever amounted to beams who never
made mistake, but the first month
Of his term will remove the stencil that
! has hovered about that Office during
the past two years Of Republican adj
ministration.
ST hope tomorrow you will vote the
Democratic ticket from top to bottom
| The time has at last arrived when the
| mists Of darkness that settled about
| this state more than forty years ago
are about to be rolled away. know
