Because he juggled his opinions and
his figures so as to convey the idea
to the voters that he alone stands be-
tween the city and it's plunder by its
own servants and citizens. .5
This is the chief end held steadily in
view by this clever and unscrupulous
politician. The schools represent his
favorite means for carrying out this
idea. In September last he audited the
pay rolls of the school department. and
the teachers were paid. In October he
refused to audit them, because the char
ter forbade 1t. No opinion Of the city
attorney could influence him. He was
the watch dog and he proposed to make
it plain. He compelled the teachers to
sue. for their salaries, and. the supreme
court, of course, again made short work
of this particular one of his grand
stand plays. Again: When the school
board determined to close up the schools
on his warning that the school fund was
exhausted he found within twenty-four
hours $4,000 which he could credit to the
fund. He was afraid of the conse-
quences. Again: He paid $4,000 of GER

Why There Should BE a Decision in
Every Boxing Match-Auspf-
ciOus Opening of the
Baseball Season.

All the uncertainty of a boxing match
the essence of interest in it's eliminated
by the limit placed upon the number of
rounds the men are to go. This assertion
will be Indignantly disputed by the men
who are in the game for the gold, and
not for the sport. But it is the truth,
nevertheless, and they, as well as the
supporters Of boxing, know it. A crust
of bread is better than no bread. The
wounded soldier, on the battlefield, toss
ing and rolling about in the agony of
fever and thirst, feels a hard substance
beneath his shattered shoulder Painfully
he grasps 1t with the free hand, to find
that 1t is a canteen-and not an empty
one! Out comes the stopper. He finds on
his parched lips a few spoonfuls of tepid
water. Eagerly 1t is swallowed, and with
sigh Of relief the sufferer falls back and
sleeps. And so it is with boxing. A little
boxing is preferable to no boxing-yet the
limited-round bout is not fair test of
the superiority of the respective contes-

'Fhe, charter provides in most explicit
terms that no warrant shall be drawn
on the city treasury unless the council
has first passed a resolution directing
the same by a two-thirds vote of each
body. In June, 1899, Comptroller Nc
Cardy, without any authority drew a
draft on city funds in the National Ger
man-American bank for $1l9,OO7 to pur-
chase certain bonds. On his return to
st. Paul he again, without any authority,
drew a warrant in favor of the bank for
the amount to cover up the first illegal
action. The council has called on the
corporation attorney to report as to the
legality of this action, but no report has
been made. The question is asked how
many other warrants has the comptroller
illegally drawn during the past eight

Here is an example: The entire issue

none of the certificates shall be issued

advertising a lake or a town, but q rep

way than any other known method a
winning boat in a great contest lends

aids to the world class of people, able,
clean-cut, and of true sporting pTOcliVi-

known to the sporting world.
Is it any wonder then, that the citizens
of St. Paul should feel justly compliment
ed by reason of the great efforts of its
true yachtsmen? And should victory
come to the boat and crew which will be
selected to do battle with the ablest and

Because he is a bitter and unscrupulous
partisan.
This he has shown throughout his pub

Republican control, he kept silent on all
subjects which might compromise or en-
barrass his party associates in office. 1t
was only when Robert A. Smith was
elected mayor over Doran that he broke
out as the watchdog of the treasury"
He then began the policy of petty perse-
cution of all Democrats who held office,

those associated with him. He never has

propriate the $4,000 in 1899 there was
found to be but $SO,oOO on hand. Asked
as to the reason for the deficiency of
$4,000, Comptroller McCardy blandly in
formed the council that in some of the
years he had decided that it would not
be necessary TO increase the fund, and
consequently had not done as the council
directed.

Because he uses his office to advance
his own political fortunes.
~ Here is a single instance: Over $1,00O,-
600 in certificates Of Indebtedness is is
sued every, year. 1t was the practice
when Comptroller McCardy assumed the
duties Of the office eight years ago to ad-.
yertise for bids and sell the certificates
to the highest bidder. The certificates
drew under the law not to exceed per
cent interest AS soon as he was fairly
in the saddle he had the ordinance au-
thorizing the issuance of the certificates
changed so as 20 allow city officials to
dispose of the certificates. Since then
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-22

REASON I.
Because he is not a reformer, but
demagogue.
His grand stand reform plays began in
1894 when he prepared and had circulated
among city employees written agreement
that they would accept less than the
law allowed them for their compensation.
His effort was to coeree these men into
forfeiting their legal rights under dread
of being published as unwilling to ad-
vance the movement for the reduction
of city expenses The courts made short
work of this particular form of demagog-
ism, holding that city employees could
not be deprived of their property by any
such form of public coercion. Hiszlatest
appearance as a reform watch dog has
been in connection with the payment of
the teachers salaries. The public is IA
miliar with the facts. Here again the
courts threw him aside and ordered him
10 do what demagogism alone kept him
from doing. His performances in the
role of watch dog have cost the city
legged watchfulness has saved. And he
has kept the city and its people in hot
water and fruitless litigation by his dem
agogism for eight years.
