FLIRTING WITH GRUBER.

Lieut.. Pothen Promises Him Some
thing If He'll Be Good.
Henry Gruber Will be put back on the force
at the close of the campaign If Kiefer is
elected, and, he Stands pat' while the cam
paign is on.
Pothen met Gruber yesterday afternoon at
Charlie Brenck's place and they got together.
Later there was a session at "Red' Griffin s
and things were fixed up a bit It would
never do for the police department. which has
just contributed so cheerfully to the Kiefer
fund with the understanding that no changes
will be made except in the case of patrolmen,
to be made the objective target of any further
disclosures by Gruber, and he was taken into
camp. Schweitzer, Pothen, Griffin and Gruber
settled the matter in conference.
Griffin told Gruber what chump he was
not to get in with good thing-that REIN
statement on the police force would do him
more good than anything else
Pothen added that things would be so ar
ranged that there would be place on the
force for Henry, If he would be good and
Schweitzer thought, 1t the best thing to do
under the circumstances
Gruber had to agree, for he has been noti-
fed that If the election should result success
fully for Kiefer he will be made to feel that
there are other places more desirable than St.
Paul.
Besides he has been out of work for some
time, for at the close of the trial Sodini, for
whom he had been working, was notified that
If he didn't throw Gruber out the police would
make mark of him and get his place every
time anything occurred there. Gruber has
been out ever since.

Billy johnson Tells Him That He Is
Long ON Advice Himself.
Billy johnson, who discovered KaldmnskI
land upon his head be it-came very near
throwing his protege down yesterday. 1t
seems that George Gerlich has been turned
loose in the Eighth ward to do the best he
can. and his idea of doing the best is to
size up the man he approaches. and, If he
finds him to be friend of Mat Bantz 10
make him talk for Kfefer, and tell him
that he Is friendly to Bantz, too. He gen.
orally hands the victim a Bantz ticket. If
he runs against a friend of Kaldunskis, he
uses Kaldunski ticket on him.
He was found out in this several days ago.
but Kaldunski didn't know It, for the news
papers make his head ache and he never
reads them. He never reads anyway, SO it
is hardly worth while to refer to the papers
in his case. He didn't know what Gerlich
was Going, but he caught him yesterday
morning red-handed with Kiefer ticket in
one hand and Bantz card in the other.
He told Gerlich some things that could only
be told in Polish. and he rushed off to Nick's
and got Billy Johnson. And he made roar
that could be heard In Postmaster Smiths
office. He wouldn't stand 1t; he was not a
mark; he had been two years in politics.
This he told johnson, and several other
things before Billy could make a remark.
But he finally made himself heard:

YoERG's PUBLIC SPIRIT.
1t Was So Pronounced in $50 That
the Chamber Thanked Him.

1t Was So Pronounced in 'S9 That
the Chamber Thanked Him.
Here is bit of ancient history that is
not out of place at this juncture. If Anthony
Yoerg was so public-spirited ten years ago
that he merited the comm aIdation of the
chamber of commerce, that institution should
remember the fact now
1t was at the time that the people of this
town were engaged in forcing Thomas Lowry
to use some other than horsepower for his
council at that time, and his efforts in behalf
of the citizens were marked.
At meeting of the city council held Sept
10, 1889, on motion of Aid. Kavanagh, Fred
committee, was invited to address the coun-
ell. and said:
1.-THE large number in attendance here evil
dence the widespread interest which has been
felt In your action tonight, and on behalf Of
the chamber Of commerce and the citizens Of
st. Paul generally, thank you from the bot
tom of my heart for your action. have lived
in this city nearly twenty-eight years, and
believe that we tonight have reached q point
in our career for beyond anything we have
touched before, and that we have brighter
prospects today than we have ever enjoyed.
I want to thank you, Mr.. President, Vice
President Anthony Yoerg Jr.), for your per-
sonal action. You were bound to do the best
you could for your constituency and the citi-
lens dwelling in your neighborhood. But you
you have also surmounted your personal dis
appointment, and I want to thank you for
your disinterested action on behalf of the gen.
eral welfare of the city.
The citizens have labored to bring this
compromise about. The chamber Of commerce
was solicited by Mr. Lowry to try to have the
council adopt views which would give him
charter under which he could raise the nee

the teachers of more recent appoint
ment, that the present system of
schools is the result of the work of the
doctor and his colleagues on the school
board. The safeguards that are thrown
about the teacher, and the practical
assurance that has been given that
they would not be interferred with for
political reasons, were erected by the
board that raised the school system of
st. Paul from the condition Of viii
lage school.
1t involved an immense labor to take
the schools as they were in 1881 and
keep them moving along with the enor
Gus increase In population that mark
ed the next seven years, and DR.. Schiff-
mann was among the men who did
the work of development. He went
heart and soul into the work and in
few years system that has been
cited the country over as a model was
built up.
The teachers are well Informed of this
fact-much better informed than the
average taxpayer or parent-and it is
rather difficult for some of the time
teachers to keep out of this campaign.
They do not attempt to keep out, except
in so far as the publicity is concerned
and they are most enthusiastic in their
homes and among their friends, where
work counts.
And they are exceedingly well in
formed. There is not teacher in the
city who is not aware Of the fact that
it is only in the Democratic Citizens
platform that there Is any assurance
given of the course that will be pur-
sued towards the schools. 1t is spec
ifically declared as the policy of the
party that the teachers in the public
schools are the most worked and worst
treated of the public servants, and the
party Of which DR.. Schiffmann is the
leader, takes upon itself to see that
the teachers are properly compensated
Expenditures for other purposes will
be kept down, it is declared, but the
teachers must be given adequate pay
for their services.
This declaration, and the assurance
that DR.. Schiffmann will see to it that
it Is carried into effect, has made for
the platform and its candidates a host
Of friends whose earnestness is of more
avail than all the talk of all the speak
ers could be if they talked for CEN
fury.

comedian of different methods to those
usually seen. He is the magnetic to strong

and to hear him render one of his own COM

vehicle to exploit Mr.. Olcott's sweet voice

NINE GOOD MEN AND TRUE
DEMOCRAT-CITIZENS' N0MI
NEES FOR THE ASSEMBLY

Not w eaI< Man on the Ticket
Election of Number of Them
Conceded by the Republicans
A Set of Men Capable Of Honestly
Looking After the City's BUSH
ness.
Henry c. Haas is one Of the men on
the Democrat-CitiZens ticket whose
election is beyond doubt. He is a very
strong man in his ward and of such
prominence in the city that he might
have had the mayoralty nomination by
making an effort. He was in effect
rendered the support of a considerable
number of representative Democrats,
but was not seeking the nomination.
His long business career in st. Paul
has bestowed on him a connection that
is invaluable just now and he will re-
ceive practically the solid vote of the
business men. His election is conceded
by the Republicans and it is merely a
question of majority.
z. F. Berrisford has already demon
strated to his own satisfaction and that
of his friends that he is an addition
to the Democratic Citizens ticket of
great value. 1t Is impossible that there
should not be comparisons made Of the
assembly tickets and there is no room
for hesitancy on the part Of the voter
who desires the good Of the city and
who contrasts Mr.. Berrisford with, for
instance, H. R. Denny. The one has
large business interests and it would
be worth his while to give a portion of
his time to the service Of the city. The
other is absolutely unknown outside of
his ward and has no other than a po>
litical interest in this campaign. Mr..
Berrisford, with the entire business
vote to start with, should be very close
to the head Of the assembly ticket or,
election day. He is making a quiet but
very earnest campaign and is thorough
ly in touch with the entire party
David F. PEBBLES Is more conspicu-
ously before the people than any as
sembly candidate in this campaign,
for he has been making speeches ever
since speaking began. He has been in
every ward and Is always in demand,
for he has proper conception of the
real issues before the people. He has
to a considerable extent neglected his
own candidacy in his desire for the
welfare of the ticket, but 1t will not
be lost to him, for he is thoroughly
well known. His own ward will be
practically solid for him, as he has no
competition. The Republican nomi-
nee accredited to the Eighth has not
been seen or heard from since the cam
paign started, and he is so obscure
that not a man on the Republican
committee can remember his name but
Billy Johnson. Mr.. PEBBLES known in
terest in public affairs and his unim-
peachable reputation, together with his
prominence before the people of the
city, makes the way to office pretty
easy shedding for him.
If there's a man in this town that
knows how to make campaign, the
name Of him is Patrick Kelly Jr. Mr..
Kelly has been long enough in politics

TEACHERS FOR THE DOCTOR
THEIR INFLUENCE CAST FOR
Observation-Disclosures LEADER
The Teachers In the Public Schools
Are Doing an Immense Amount
of Work Among Their Friends
for DIR. SchffHmann-The Plat-
form Upon Which He Stands the
Only One Promising Justice.


A feature of this campaign that has
been largely overlooked by the politi-
clans is the very effective work that
is being done for DR.. Schiffmann, and
the platform upon when he stands, by
the school teachers all over the town.
AS body the teachers, possibly ex-
cepting those in places that have been
filled by political preferment, are for
Dr. Schiffmann
This means that the doctor will have
a vote of approximately 1000 that is
controlled by the teachers, the mem
bers of their families and their friends
This tremendous vote is hardly to be
reached by any other means than
through the teachers. They are not to
any great extent influenced by party
cons;derations-the teachers themselves
but all of them have the interests of
the schools at heart and nearly half
of the present list Of teachers were ap-
pointed by the board during the time
DR.. Schiffmann was a member of It.
This would hardly be reason enough
for their devotion to the doctor, but 1t
is well known to them, as well as to
