The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-04-01

For an earnest, enthusiastic business
like representative convention, that
which deliherated yesterday in Mozart
hall is to be commended as about the
best sample that has been held in St.
Paul in many years.
There was no time lost in ef1ores-
cence Of speech. The few speakers did
not give way to the usual desire Of
convention speakers to distribute bou-
quets. They had in mind the fact that
they were come together for the pur-
pose of doing something in a business
way that would rebound to their sub
Etantial benefit as taxpayers, and they
went directly at the business in hand.
The convention was noteworthy in
more than one respect, but it's best
feature was the number of representa-
tive business men on the floor. They
were not gathered to listen to speeches,
but to do something to improve the
conditions under which they have been
forced to live. They were met half way
in this matter by those gentlemen upon
whom the honors Of the rostrum fell,
and, as sample Of what can be done,
1t was observable that the speech which
resulted in the immediate and unani-

tude to the convention for the SO 1-3
per cent honor conferred upon him, but
declined to delay the proceedings any
longer, as F. L. McGhee and other ora
tors were awaiting a chance to be
heard.
T. r. Kane announced at this time
that he had received an important
communication from lone of the candi-
dates, whose name had been mentioned
as a nominee Of the convention. Mr..
Kane asked permission, which was
granted, to read the communication.
Judge Willis withdraws.
The letter was from Judge John W.
Willis. It announced his withdrawal
from the nayoralty race.
A slight wave Of applause followed
the reading Of the declipation. A dele
gate from the Fifth ward was on his
feet in an instant to demand the ap-
pointment Of a sergeant alarms.
j. j. McCafferty named John Clark
and Jim" King as proper persons to
act In this capacity. The gentlemen
, named were vested with police powers
by the chair,
J. q. Mccarthy, of the Sixth ward,
moved the appointment Of commit

nous nomination Of DR.. Schiffmann
took seven minutes in it's delivery-and
none Of the time was wasted in fuIsome
laudation Of the nominee.
The capacity Of Mozart hall was taxed
to accommodate the delegates and
spectators. AS early as o'clock in the
morning the delegates began to gather
and discuss matters in their delega-
tions-for there had been little time for
consultation the previous evening By
10 o'clock the hall was filled and the
delegates were ready for the business
Of the day. And from the time Mr.
Michael called the convention to order
until it adjourned there was no time
lost. In this respect 1t might be taken
as model by all conventions.
The strictness Of the routine was by
no means caused by lack of interest,
for there was plenty Of that article.
From the time Pierce Butler was put
in nomination for chairman and D. #.
PEBBLES opposed to him there was
plenty of competition for the honors
that were to be distributed. Not that
there was anything like ill-feeling en-
gendered. On the contrary, it is doubt
full if ever a convention nominating a

corrupt. incompetent, ubiquitous. intolerant
and a disgrace to the offices they hold. The
people, without regard to political afHlia-
tions, trusting to the wisdom of the Demo-
Gratis, are waiting to clean out the officers,
from mayor down to the officers who are
now on trial for crimes. (Cheers.)
Let me ask you to hold a deliberate con-
presented ticket to the voters above ap-
proach Such ticket will be elected by
the largest vote ever cast in the city OF
St. Paul.
Three Secretaries Chosen.
The next business was the selection
.of temporary secretary. The names
of H. A. Loughran, L. w. Helmes and
w. B. Hennessey were proposed. A
division was averted by the sugges-
ton of T. D. O'Br1en, to the effect that
there would be enough work for all
three Of the gentlemen. Mr.. O'Brien
thereupon moved that the trio be
elected.
This met with the approval Of the
convention, and Chairman Butler an
nounced that each Of the secretaries
would favor the convention with a
speech.
Mr.. Loughran thanked the conven-
ton for the honor, and hoped its de-
liberations would be harmonious.
Mr., Helmes referred to the incompe-
tency Of the Republican administration
and advised the convention that 1t was
confronted by a crisis that required

mittee on credentials saved. This sug-
gestion was adopted.
Attention was called to contesting
delegation from the Third precinct Of
the Eighth ward, and 1t was agreed
that the delegates of that ward should
settle the dispute.
Secretary Hennessey read from The
Globe the list Of delegates by pre-
cincts, and they were declared entitled
to seats.

the chair holding that only delegates
had the privilege of addressing the
chair.
A delegate from the Fifth ward NOV
ed that the convention proceed at once
to the nomination for mayor. The mo-
ton was laughed down, as Chairman
Butler informed the delegate that there
was other business to be transacted
before nominations were in order.
The committee appointed to settle the
Eighth ward precinct contest retired.
Then the temporary organization
was made permanent by a rising vote.
Chairman Butler suggested that some

adjourned with less bitterness Of feel
ing or more thoroughly enthusiastic.
The hall Is remarkably we'll adapted
to the purpose Of a convention, but
possibly too small for Democratic city
convention. 1t was packed to the doors
and beyond, but it's compact form made
1t easy for the speakers. and the SON.
orous tones Of Chairman Butler
reached everybody perfectly.
His easy control of the body. by the
way, was feature not lost on those
present, and he was happy at all times,
even in the trifling incident Of a con-
test in the Eighth which was the one
ripple of the disagreeable In the gen.
orally placid flow of the stream Of
business.
The character Of the gathering was
demonstrated in the fact that the
plank Of the platform promising the
conservation Of the public wealth in
the form of franchises and the refer
ence Of all grants and franchises to the
vote of the people was most enthusi-
astically received.
There was no talk of gangs, rings or
factions within the party, and the
propositions received from proposed al
lies were taken quite In the spirit they
were rendered.
Altogether, it was such convention
as might be expected to nominate a
wholly desirable and victorious ticket.
At 1890, when Chairman Michael
called the convention to order, the
reading of the call was dispensed with
and nominations for temporary officers,
the chair stated, would be in order.
j. G. Donnelly nominated Pierce But
Ter, and F. L. McGhee, on behalf of the
Eighth ward, presented the name of
David F. PEBBLES, for temporary chair
man.
The nomination of Mr. Peebles Mr..
McGhee said, was the only thing the
Eighth ward would ask for, and his
selection would be for the best inter-
ests of the Democratic party
The convention decided to vote by a
roll call of the wards, and the result of
the ballot was as follows:

Candidate for Mayor

DR.. Rudolph Schiffmanns was born fifty-three
years ago In St. Louis. Mo-, Of German par
ents. He received his early education in the
public schools Of his native city and after
wards spent some years at Washington and
st. Louis universities. graduating in medicine
from the latter institution. He left college to
enlist as a private in Company D, Eighth
Missouri cavalry, and saw some notable SER
vice. He was with the Seventh army corps
ct. the affair at Duyal's Bluff, Ark, one of
the hottest minor battles of the war, and
participated in the capture of Little Rock in
the division commanded by Gen. c. c. An
drews, Of the Third Minnesota.
At the close of the wax Dr. Schiffmann re-
sumed his medical studies and took his de-
gree in 1857. He was appointed assistant sur
geon in the United States army and assigned
to Hancock's expedition against the hostile
Kiowas, Cheyennes, 9Arapahoes and Conan
ches. He resigned from the army in 1868 and
came to St. Paul, where he engaged in the
general practice of medicine, continuing un-
til 1879, when he went into the proprietary
medicine business, in which he has been phe-
nomenally successful--his enterprise now eX-
tending to every country in the world.
OF late years the doctor has travelled ex-
tensively in foreign lands, there being few
countries in either hemisphere that he has
not visited.
He is an enthusiast in the culture of or
chids, many of his specimens having been
collected by himself In their native haunts in
various remote countries. He undoubtedly
possesses today the finest collections in the
West. 1t is his hobby, if SO sound a business
man can be said TO possess hobby. He Is
a reader and student and his library Is a de-
light to book lovers.
Personally DR.. Schifmann Is the soul Of
geniality. His friends are legion and his house
is one of the most favored in the city in the
matter of company. He is essentially do
mestic man and has family of four children:
F. G. Schifmann a prominent Republican
and member of the Republican state central
committee; Rudolph ]. Schiffmann, who has
charge of the doctors interests abroad; Mrs.
]. L. Mcleod, of Minnea apolis, and Miss Flor
ence, who is still at school. Mrs. Schifmann
is very well known personally.
DR.. Schffmann's lfe has been spent very
largely in the public eye. He is not and never
has been an ofice-seelssr, but honors have
come to him as the Elimination for mayor

ton were of real value 10 the city. He was a
member of the board for seven years, having
been elected from the old Fifth-now the Sec

of that body, and his eminent executive abil-
ity made those years notable in the history
of the board.

AS to his capacity to get votes it is a mat
ter OF history that he ran as independent
who had been nominated by both the Dem
ocrats and Republicans, and his majority over
Mr.. Koenig was greater than the total vote
cast for his opponent.
After that experience with the doctor the
politicians were shy of him, and he was re-
turned three times in succession without
opposition

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
Spain refuses the humane and liberal
proposition Of President Mckinley and
the American government to withdraw
her army from Cuba and lower the
yellow flag from over her insular pos
sessions.
The note of refusal has not been re-
ceived by the state department, but
Gen. Woodford, our minister at Madrid,
has cabled the substance Of the forth
coming refusal.
Gen. Woodford has wired that he
has almost abandoned hope Of a peace
full adjustment of affairs.
The president, members of the cab
met and senators and representatives
in congress have been advised during
the evening that the situation Is near
ing the point where orders for the
movements of our land and sea forces
must be promulgated.
Mckinley is under solemn pledge to
lay the diplomatic procedure between
his administration and Spain before
congress not later than next Monday
AS a final and almost desperate re-
sort, messages have been sent Gen
Woodford late tonight giving the Sa-
gasta government until midnight on
Friday, April 1, to decide whether or
not it will make the concession for
freedom in Cuba. 1t is expected this
will be answered by a categorical repli-
cation, asking that there be longer
delay until the Spanish cortes can be
assembled. The Spanish crown cannot
ratification by the legislative bodies Of
the kingdom. Congress will refuse any
further international pettifogging.
The situation is such that unless
some Of the powers of Europe come to
the diplomatic aid of Spain war must
result soon.
Official Washington is spending the
night anxiously awaiting news from
Madrid. and every word from Gen.
Woodford has clearly foreshadowed
that Spain will yield Cuba only after
having a fight.
Meanwhile detailed arrangements are
being made for the transportation of
troops and supplies to the Southern
coast.
