and character of this meeting. 1t indi-
Gates healthy nutriment among tfIe
voters which is a good sign for De-
mocracy."
John Enright, president of the Young
Mems Democratic Club of the Fourth
ward, said:
Il think, on account Of the peculiar
manner in which they have made up. the
official ballot, will begin at the bottom
of the ticket and mark the name of every
democrat upward. After marking for
Robert A. Smith 1 will stop and in that
way there will be no mistakes made"
James R. Hickey, the next speaker,
said:
No voter should shirk duty when 1t.
comes to voting for the best government
to be obtained. This year vote for Ro-
bert A. Smith and the whole Democratic
ticket means just such a vote"
Other speakers were Frank j. Huber,
regular Democratic candidate for, alder
man of the Fourth ward, and John Cow
ington, chairman of the Fourth ward

30 bitter is the spirit of the element
which is endeavoring to ruin the Demo-
cratic party in the interest of Republican
victory that the chief adherents of the
gang are absolutely unable to restrain
either their fists or their tempers, and
the endeavor of the Bel-Republican
crowd to hurt the Democratic party yes
terday eliminated In despicable assault
by Josias N. Rogers, the accredited
nominee for comptroller of the Court
block star-chamber conspiratoys, on Rob-
ert A. Smith, the nominee Of the Democ-
racy for mayor.
That the assault was not murderous,
perhaps, was due to the presence on the
scene of Fred A. Pike, of the Democratic
city committee; Stan Donnelly, former as
sistant county attorney, and others young
er than the assaulted nominee, who pre-
vented Rogers by main force from bring
Ing heavy cane down upon the head Of
his intended victim, and restrained him
until he was conducted away by friends.

was manifest, discussing Mr.. Smiths can
didacy, until Rogers exclaimed:
II am Democrat. You are rene
gade and a traitor" brandishing his fist
in Mr.. Smiths face. Rogers suddenly
seized the cane which Mr.. Smith had been
carrying in his left hand, and endeavore1
to bring it down upon his victims head.
but by this time quite crowd had gath

the men, and friend of Mr.. Rogers en-
deavored to persuade him to leave the
place.

Yes" replied Rogers, 'let me go. I'll
give him his cane Let me get at him"
But the cane was taken from him and
returned to its owner, and Mr.. Smiths
assailant was taken down street to cool
off,
The police were not present and were
not notified, so no arrests were made.

ROBERT A. ON CHARTER
HID ADDRESSED A BIG MEETING
AT WEBSTER SCHOOL
LAST NIGHT
HE REFUTES RECENT LIBELs
L. In Favor of the Measure, and He
Tells the Reasons
Why He

Robert A. Smith, the coming mayor Of
st. Paul, whose Views on the new char
ter have been freely msinterpreted, made
q brief address before the Webster school
union last night, in which he expressed
his belief that the measure contains many
improvements over the Bell charter. Mr.
Smith expressed his belief that the adop-
ton Of the charter will be for the best
interests of the city and gave voice to an
expression of hearty approval and sup
port The meeting was called for the
purpose of considering the charter, and
Ambrose Tighe, one of the trainers of the
document explained it's principal prov1s-
ions. The section devoted to the inter-
ests of the public schools of the city was
explained by E. C. Stringer
In speaking of the new charter, Mr.
Smith stated that he deemed it proper to
publicly refute the statements recently
made to the effect that he was not in
favor of its adoption and considered the
provisions for police commission farci-
cal. Said he:
There is one matter upon which I de-
sire to clearly define my position at this
time, and that is as to the proposed char
ter. ass gA
Some time. ago, before the provisions
Of the proposed charter were known,
expressed the opinion that a police COM
mission had generally proved unsatisfac-
tory, and that doubted the wisdom of
providing for one in the new charter. l
still have my doubts about the matter
But, considering the charter as a whole.
and the very many improvements to be
found in 1t over the present patchwork
charter of this city, 1 desire to say that
1 am heartily and strongly in favor of
its adoption, and trust that the citizens
or this city, whether they vote for me
or my opponent, will vote for the adop-
ton of that instrument
OF course 1 am not so thoroughly in
formed as to the exact provisions of the
new charter as to be able to explain them
TO You IN detail; but it has been stated
by reputable gentlemen, who were in a
position to know, that all the limitations
which have been found servicable in the
ola charter are retained; that the pro-
VISIONS MAGE 1or the maintenance of our
SCHOOLS, while conservative, are ample
The condition of the public schools of
this city for the past few years has been
disgrace Nothing so, retards the
growth of a city as inadequate educa-
tional FACILITIES. Our teachers have been
underpaid and in great many instances
the best teachers have sought other COM
munlues where their services would he
better appreciated. Indeed, 1t has been
found impossible to properly acconmo-
date the chi children who are entitled to
receive receive tHe En- EDUCATION in the public
For the many excellent provisions Of
the new charter, l take great pleasure IN
Saying that l am heartily in favor of its
adoption"
Charter meetings were also held last
night at the Sibley and Emerson schools
meeting for the purpose of explaining
the proposed charter will be held at the
Mcclellan school at 8 o'clock, under the
auspices Of the Civic league.

Royal Baking Powder itself, and the

Democrats of the Eleventh precinct of

met last night at Twelfth and Robert
streets. There was long list of speak
ers, all OF whom were enthusiastically re-
ceived. In the course of his remarks
Henry. G. Tardy said:
After long lease Of official life In
city government the Republicans are to-
day calling upon the people TO help them
reform What have they been doing all
this time? They have had ample time to
reform and could not even reform them
selves. My belief is that the people have
very, little patience with this kind of
political humbug. The only way for the
people to reform city affairs is for them
to vote for candidates who will reform
the wrong-doing of the Republicans who
are inveighing against their own work,
