a practical close to a campaign the like
of which has not been seen in years was
the big Democratic rally at the Au-
ditorium last evening, in which Gov LIND
was the central and the idolized figure.
Six thousand was the conservative es-
innate of the number in attendance, gal
lery and pit giving evidence OF the es-
TEEN and respect in which the present
executive is held. It was an enthusiastic
audience, too. free from that cold aud in
different manner so characteristic Of the
gatherings heretofore held, abundant and
unstinted in its praise of the arguments
advanced by the executive, and unlimited
IN Its respect for the clinch'ng arguments
given.
No venom accompanied the impassiohed
speech of the governor. 1t was a defense
of his administration, clear, concise
statemen, If his stewardship, and with
expression only of pity for those who, lost
IN their efforts to find a. flaw, filed in the
deficiency with vituperation and mud
singing. The audience appreciated his
stand and, at the close of his denunciation

by a malice uncalled-for, had attempted

might and cheered him to the echo. 1t
was a happy moment, and not one of the
six thousand or more present but what
felt it was good to be there.
Gov. Lind, as the result of an engage
ment in another part of st. Paul dur
ing the early evening, did not arrive until
BIS. and from o'clock until that hour
the time was consumed by local speakers,
prominent among whom were Alexander
J. Stone candidate for congress, Thomas
r. Kane, Edward Peterson, Thomas
O'Brien and S. NJ. owen.
Rudolph Schiffmann acted as chairman,
and in response to brief introductions,
the various speakers came forward.
DR.. Alexander Stone confined his re-
marks which were brief, to an outline
of the trusts, which, he said, fostered
by a Republican administration, were
threatening to reduce the business and
commercial world to beggary. Free
trade, the doctor held, was the only solu-
ton of the problem, which, coupled with
a law that would make their existence
miserable, would cause them to go out

One of the weakest and most unreason-
ing efforts to make political capital
against any of the county candidates is
the attempt of certain Republican pa
pers to make the voters of Ramsey coun-
ty believe that Peter Van Hoven, the
Democratic nominee for sheriff, is a
bankrupt who has defrauded his credi-
tors.
This charge carried no weight with
those who have known him and who
know that during his long residence in
St. Paul he has paid out over 81, 900 600
to his employees, and has always paid
them in full.
He has been in this city for twenty-five
years and has always, without an eX-
ception, paid just claims against him.
That he did take advantage of the
bankruptcy law is matter of record,
but so, too, is the character of the
claims against him.
Ti-cy were not either personal or bust
ness obligations of his own.
He did have a considerable amount of
money in the Allemannia bank at the
time of its failure, and it was because
he had faith in the business ability of
the head of that bank, Albert Scheffer.
Mr. Van Hoven was only a small stock
holder in the institution, the failure of
which has been brought up.
Ii Is wen known that Mr., Van Hoven

have done so to a charge of a lesser de-
gree than that on which they have been
indicted In other words, many a man
accused of an offense which if proven,
would send him to the penitentiary, has
been allowed to plead guilty to re-
duced offense and escaped with work
house sentence
Eighty persons have been held to the
grand jury whom that body has refused
to indict. This item is a reflection on the
judgment of the judges of the municipal
court or of Mr.. Bigelow. They are
cases which should have been disposed
of in the municipal court, and in press
ing them so that they became grand
jury cases Mr.. Bigelow or his Office
burdened the county with needless cost,
just how much depends on the length ot
time they remained in jail, etc. The whole
eighty cases should have, it is fair TO
presume, been settled in the municipal
court
That is Mr. Bigelow's record in brief.
If the citizens of ST. Paul are willing to
have man in charge of this very inl-
portant branch of the county govern
ment who is only able in two years to Sc
cure convictions in rs out of 225 cases
then, Mr. Bigelow, it is all right to vote
for your continuance in office. They
say Mr.. Bigelow is a good fellow" If
the people of Ramsey county want good
fellowship in the office which Is ex-
pected to give some force and emphasis
to the laws protecting lives and prop
erty, Mr.. Bigelow will do as well as any
oIner man.
If the people of Ramsey county want
wrongdoers punished, not one out of ev-
cry ten or twelve, but as large a pro-
portion as were punished under the ad-
ministration of Pierce Butler, or as .lrge
a proportion as are punished in every
other county in Minnesota, then Horace
Bigelow is not the man to vote for neXt
Tuesday. 1t is not question of giving
good fellow a vote; it is a question
of Furnishing the men who break into
your homes, or rob you on the streets.
If you want the affairs of this branch
of the county government conducted by
a lawyer who will see that justice Is
done to all and that no man escapes
through pull or lack of knowledge Of
criminal law, or any other reason. then
you owe 1t to yourself and your homes
and your city to vote next Tuesday for
Thomas r. Kane.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Republicans
practically brought the presidential cam
paIgn of 1900 to a close today with a
large parade conducted under the aus
pices of the Business Mems Republican
and Sound Money association At most
of the Tammany Hall clubs in the city
final rallies were also held by the Demo-
Gratis, but these meetings were ar
ranged for members of the organization
only, and so far as the general public
is concerned interest centers In the spec
tacular events furnished by the Republi-
cans. The cold rain and the damp streets
interfered with the presence of crowGs
as large as had been expected at the
Republican parade and to some extent
probably disarranged the plans for local
parades and district mass meetings. ed

campaign here may be said to have
been brought to a close last Monday

AS indicating the rivalry that has ex-
listed it may be stated that after Mr..
Bryan's speech at Madison Square Gar
den the Republicans strained every
nerve to give Gov Roosevelt. if possi-
bic, more natterinE reception upon the
occasion of his return from his tour

The Democrats retaliated by trying to

are valueless. So far as first voters
and naturalizsd voters are concerned, II
may be said that interest in registration

Horace Bigelow, the present county
attorney of Ramsey county, is a candi-
date for reelection on the Republican
ticket The Pioneer Press and the Dis
patch have been urging his reelection
on the record he has made in office So
far as the G o b e has heard, MIR.
Bigelow is not himself asking for sup
port again on that record. Just what
methods he has been, employing is cur
rent talk but what those methods are
is foreign to this article. Mr.. Bigelow's
newspapers are urging his election on
the record he has made They have not
taken the trouble to produce that rec
ord. The o b e has, and here it is:

Total number of jury trials had 10

Total number OF verdicts of not
guilty by jury 3S
Total number of mistriaIs had 8
Total number of indictments dis

ed'o 81
Total number of convictions on
plea of guilty, together with
eases now pending 80
Total number of persons held to

That is Mr. Bigelows record. It will
be seen that out of 225 indictments re-
turned by the grand jury Mr.. Bigelow
has only convicted by actual trial 26,
little more than / out of every 10 cases.
He has lost 3S out of the 7S trials by
jury, and had 8 mistrials in addition
He has gotten rid of 81 cases by having
them nolled, as they say in court par
lance; in other words. he has of his own
volition stricken 81 cases from the CAL
endar
There are cases pending, and which
have been pending for months. some Of

WABASH, Ind, May LIT Is stated
here that Judge Brownlee, of the lower
court. who appointed Richard Ruddell.
formerly of this city and now president of
the Citizens National Bank of Kokomo,
receiver for the Eel River Railroad pending
the appeal Of the case to the Indiana SUI
preme Court. will continue Mr.. Ruddell in
that capacity The latter has filed a
heavy bond, and as the affirming of the
decision OF the lower court sustains the
acts of Judge Brownlee, the matter Of the
selection OF the receiver is left in his hands.
The Wabash Company has appropriated
$4,000 worth of Eel River equipment.
which has been scattered all over the Wa
bash system, and the receiver will require
an accounting for the fifteen locomotives,
most OF which are worn out. and the seven
hundred or eight hundred cars which the
Eel River owned when IL was absorbed by
the Wabash.
There is great satisfaction expressed In
the cities along the Toledo line between
Peru and Fort Wayne over the decision,
since the construction Of the cutoff be-
the western terminus of the line from De-
troit. owned in fee by the Wabash and
which is not affected by the decision, is
accepted as a foregone conclusion. This
will make the Toledo line from Fort Wayne
west, now mere branch, the main stem
of the Wabash once more.
