enough to convince Tams that the bal
ance of the ticket is in danger then
he may come. Mr.. BiXby IS one of/the
shrcWdest campaign directors the Re-
publicanS of Minnesota have ever had,
and he has not known defeat. If he
should happen to return to Minnesota
now and attempt to pull the party
through it will be because he thinks
more of the Republican party than he
does of his personal record in political
campaigns. Nobody knows better than
Mr.. BiXby that he is taking an awful
long chance.

plan of campaign for this falls cleo
ton. After liberal discussion it was
unanimously decided to conduct the
campaign through the above mentioned
association. There were about 100
members present, all sections of the
ward being represented Great enthu-

counted. john Ives, candidate for the
senate. who is conceded the most pOpu-
lar man in the ward, was assured by
the members Of a majority Of not less
than 500, and judging from the number
Of BOhemianS present, Mr.. Barta will
not be able to state any more, that
he carries the Bohemian vote in his
vest pocket. Anton Miesen, John Cava-
nagh and DR.. Pine, were also present
and urged the members to work for the
whole ticket. But Herman Oppenheinl
| aroused the meeting to the greatest
degree, and concluded his remarks by
begging the members not to disown
the boy wonder" Mr. Bigelow, alto
gether. From the enthusiasm that was
manifested for Oppenheim, one of the
members remarked that Mr. Bigelow
