fhil G. Justus has the immense ad-
vantage in his campaign for sheriff of
being a st. Paul boy and having hosts
Of friends, acquiring in life's resi-
dence in this city. He is a typical
representative of the solid German
element of the population, fully quail
fed by a reputation for integrity for
the responsible office he nominated
to fill. His opponent is busy explain
ing how he happened to go through
bankruptcy twice in recent years and
is apparently solvent still.
Ole H. Oace is making a vigorous
canvass for representative in the dis
trict of the Eighth and Ninth wards,
south of the Great Northern tracks.
He is making daily inroads on the
normal Democratic majority in that
section. His friends are urging in his
behalf that Republican can do more
for the city than Democrats in the leg
islature, and that every Republican
member can be depended upon to vote
for Knute Nelson for United States
senator.
M. w. Fitzgerald, at present chief
clerk in the Office of clerk of courts,
is the Republican candidate for regis
ter of deeds of Ramsey county. Mr..
Fitzgerald is a poor man with only his
salary to depend upon and therefore
is not spending much money in his
campaign, but he will get there just
the same for his sterling worth is
recognized on all hands by those who
know him best. He has made no
promises, but it is safe to gamble that
all classes of citizens will be treated
fairly at his hands. His friends are
legion among all classes and as he has
On many occasions shown his kindly
good feeling toward the Afro-Ameri
cans there is little doubt that he will
receive their unanimous support.
It is seldom that an official is so
admirably fitted for the responsibility
of his Office that he is enabled to give
universal satisfaction. Judge E. W.:
Bazille has elevated the Ramsey coun-
ty probate court to the position of dig
nifty commensurate with its import
ance; has purified the court of many
Objectionable practices and by the ex-
ercise of keen legal mind and the ap-
plicatiOn of a practical knowledge of
men and affairs administered the diff
cult tasks imposed upon the probate
court to the entire satisfaction Of pub
lie and bar. Without exception men,
bers Of the legal profession speak in
most complimentary terms of Judge
BaIlle and the dignifed yet unosten-
tatious way in which he discharged
the multitudinous and arduous duties
of his most trying Office. His re-elec-
tiOn by a handsome majority is gen.
orally conceded.
Horace E. Bigelow, who is a candi-
date for second term as county at
torney, made such a good record dur
ing the past two years that his calling
and election are sure. He was born and
bred in ST. Paul in 1857 and graduated
with the class of '88 at Williams Col
lege. Afterwards he took the law
course at Columbia College, and COM
menced the practice Of law in St.
Paul in the spring of 1891. At first
he was alone, but afterward became a
member of the firm of Lawler, Dur.
ment & Bigelow, withdrawing to be-
come a member Of the law firm of
Bigelow & Taylor In 1896 he was
elected alderman from the Fifth ward,
and when reelected his executive abil-
ity and clear insight into public mat
tiers were recognized by his election
as president of the board of aldermen.
and thus acting mayor during Mayor
DOran's absence.a
Among the county officials one of
the best known is Mr.. Henry Gallick,
the court commissioner, whose office
is at rs Court House. He was born
in Germany in 1861, and in 1878 he
came to the United States, settling
in New York city, and engaged in the
boot and shoe manufacturing interest.
He afterwards went to Mexico, and
thence came to St. Paul in 1881, and
embarked in the boot and shoe manu-
featuring industry in the city until
November, 1896, when he was elected
court commissioner for Ramsey county
for the term expiring January 1, 1901.
Mr.. Gallick is an earnest and active
Republican, and influential in the To-
cal party, and he is also we'll known
socially as a member of the knights
of Pythias, Woodmen of the World
and Knights of Honor. It is not to
be doubted that the numerous connec-
tons thus formed will aid powerfully
in his reelection to the court commits
sionership, for which he is again a
candidate on the Republican ticket.
During the absence of the Judge of
probate for over two months Mr.. Gal
lick filed the position in manner
very satisfactorily to all parties.

w. R. Johnson, Republican nominee
for the second term as county auditor,
was born in Oswego, N. Y, fifty years
ago and came to Minnesota when his
parents settled in Olmsted county in
1854. His early education was acquir-
ed in an old backwoods schoolhouse
where he attended during the winter
terms, working on the farm in the
intervals. At the age of seventeen
he left home and for time led no.
madic life working on steamboats, and
