FRANK w. BAER,
Candidate for Alderman from the Sixth Ward

Frank w. Baer, the candidate for alder
man from the Sixth ward. is one Of st. Paul's
popular young men. He born on Oct. 4,
1853, at West Newton, Pa, and came to
ceived his education in public schools of
Washington, D. c. After the close of his
school course he engaged in the railroad busi-
ness and was for several years a trusted en-
ploye Of the Pennsylvania system, running
between Baltimore, Md, and Marysville,
Pa.
He left there in the fall of 1878 to accept a
position on the Chicago division of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad, which position he held for
five years, during which time he occupied
the positions of baggageman and brakeman
After his arrival in st. Paul he commenced
his career with the Chicago Great Western
road for five years, and spent the last three
years of his service with this company as
conductor He severed his connection with
the road in 1898, and since that time has
spent part of his time on the road COM
mercial traveller, being engaged by the Amer
both of St. Paul.
For the last two years Mr.. Baer has been
engaged in the insurance business and is to-
day in this business, having an office at 115
Endicott Arcade.
Mr.. Baer is thorough union man and Is
popular among this class
Mr.. Baer, though forty-f1ve years old, Is
still a young man, and Is very popular among
his associates. Mr.. Baer is strong fraternal
society man, a member of the Odd Fellows,
United Commercial Travellers, St. Paul Lodge
No. 40, K. P, and is collector of Commercial
is a married man and has one daughter,
Florence E. Baer, who Is one of the teachers
of the Harrison school, and another attending
school.

might be proud. He referred especially
to Mr.. Darragh's efficient adnlinistra-
ton Of the city's legal department.
w. P. Murray placed in nomination
once-Judge James ]. Egan, whose life
long residence in ST. Paul and whose
conspicuous ability as a lawyer must
commend him to the voters.
Room for the PCipuIists.
r. N. Hare interrupted the flow of
nominating speeches by calling the at
tention Of the convention to the request
Of the Populist committee that one of
the municipal judgeships be left for
them to fill. In Mr. Hare's opinion, it
was only fair to give the Populists
recognition on the ticket.
T.. r. Kane asked that J. M. Haw-
thorne be permitted to address the con-
vention on behalf of the silver Repub-
Hcans. Permission was promptly
granted.
AS Mr.. Hawthorne was assisted over
the footlights, he fell to his knees.
Chairman Butler introduced Mr.. Haw-
thorne, who quickly regained his feet,
as "a Democrat. but he don't know it,
1T Is a remarkable omen," began Mr..
Hawthorne, that the first time I
should get on a. Democratic platform,
I should go on my knees" daughter }
Mr.. Hawthorne said that the silver
Republicans had only one thing to
ask. and that was that the national and
state platforms should be recognized
by the convention. That had been
done, and it would now be unwise for
the convention to nominate two judges
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-04-01

the Populists would nominate only one
candidate.
Mr.. O'Brien promptly Informed the
chairman and also the convention that
there was nothing that would bind any
of the committees who took part in the
conference.
A viva voee vote was then taken on
motion that one Of the judgeships
be left for the Populists to fill:
1t sounded as though the "ayes" had
1t to 1, but Chairman Butler was in
doubt, and a division was called for.
Louis Nash Called For.
The division was lost sight Of, mas
much as Louis Nash was called upon
to address the convention.
Chairman Butler introduced Mr.. Nash
as another Democrat who don't know
It,"
Mr.. Nash replied, with some show
OF feeling: IT wish I could return the
compliment and say that, IL you were
honest Democrats, you would be in the
Popultst party"
Proceeding, Mr. Nash declared that,
if the convention was sincere and hon.
est in its determination to GUST the gang
now in control, the votes of the
Populists and silver Republicans
must be secured for that purpose.
You have 1t in your hands, gentle
men," concluded Mr.. Nash, ito either
elect your ticket or keep the present
gang in power. I leave 1t to you to say
whether we should be treated as gen.
tlemen or dogs"
T. D. O'Brien said that, as he under
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-04-01

stood it, the Populist party desired
rather to be represented in the legisla-
tive bodies of the city-the assembly
or board of aldermen Mr.. O'Brien
was. in favor OF Two judges being NOM
mated. 3sfeffi aac.i-4
Mr.. Esarton's Offer.
Humphrey Barton favored harmony.
He had been rendered the nomination
for alderman in the Seventh ward, but
in the interests Of harmony, he would
withdraw and give the nomination to
the Populists.
F. A. Pike, formerly second assist
ant corporation attorney under L. T.
Chamberlain, who was sent in as a
delegate from the Tenth ward, made a
fervent plea for recognition Of the Pop
ul1sts. Mr.. Pike said that the Populists
had asked for only one out Of five pay
ing offices on the ticket.
DIR. Schiffmann Appears.
While Mr.. Pike was speaking, the
committee returned to the hall with
DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann.
The candidate for mayor was greeted
with storms Of applause as he stepped
onto the stage.
Mr.. Butler introduced DR.. Schiff-
mann as the next mayor Of st. Paul.
DR.. Schiffmann. who retained perfect
composure, responded as follows:
1.-The nomination is, indeed, a sur
prise to me. 1t is an honor for which
I am duly grateful. If am elected, I

The resolutions were adopted with
out discussion.
Selecting the Aldermen.
While the convention was awaiting
the report Of the committee on candi-
dates for the assembly, the several
wards nominated their candidates for
aldermen. There were no nominations
In the First, Tenth and Eleventh
wards The selection Of candidates will
be left to the city committee.
In the Fifth ward there was a row In
the delegation over the alderman.
George Reddington, when the ward
was called, announced that John j.
Gleason was the choice Of the ward
for alderman.
The friends of Otto Rohland denied
this, and the delegation was polled by
the secretary Of the convention. Mr..
Gleason received 20 votes-just a ma
jority Of the delegation.
Edward l.. Murphy was the unan1-
NOUS choice Of the Ninth ward. When
the nomination was ratified by the con-
vention Mr.. Murphy was called upon
for a speech. He said that the strong
est ticket that had ever been put up
had been selected, and that on May Sd
1t would be elected by grand major
ity. AS for himself he would work
from now until election for the success
of the ticket.
