NINTH SOLID FOR MURPHY
BY A LARGE MA
JORITY
LONG AND FAITHFUL SERVICE
10 the People of the Ward of All
Classes Has Made Him Their
Almost Unanimous
Choice.

The election Of EdN Nrd L. Murphy to
succeed himself as alderman of the Ninth
ward, is one of the certainties in store
for Tuesday, because Mr.. Murphy has
proven without exception, the ablest rep
resentative the district has ever had in
the council. The interest of his con-
etituency has always been his foremost
thought and no effort has ever been
spared by him to secure every possible
advantage for the section of the city he
represented. Prominently man Of pub
lie affairs, Mr.. Murphy is a bulwark in
the council whose place cannot be easily
filed. The residents of the ward fully
realize this fact and will see to It that
given a Democratic candidate in the
Ninth ward.
Almost every Improvement in the Ninth
ward, of late years is due to the efforts
of Aid. Murphy. 1t was he who secured
the hundreds of arc lights now scattered
throughout the ward, making the streets
as light as day, where before the intense
darkness made them undesirable for traf
fic after nightfall. Miles of sidewalk
strung through the ward stand a monu,
ment to his ceaseless work for improve,
ments.
To the efficiency of Aid. Murphy, in the
council, portion OF the Ninth ward en-
joys a permanent Improvement in the

THE VOICE oFsLABoR.
The OGfcinl Organ Of Union Labor
Speaks Plainly

The OfRcinI Organ Of Union Labor
Speaks Plainly.
The Minnesota Union Advocate clared
unreserVedly for the election Of Robert
A. Smith as the staunch friend Of organ
lied labor. In its last issue 1t says:
Leaving party politics out of the fQues-
ton entirely, who should the members Of
organized labor vote for in the present
contest for mayor of this city? That is
the question, and the only question, which
the readers Of this paper and members of
the trades unions of st. Paul should con-
slider in the casting of their votes next
Tuesday.
We say it is the only question, because
1t involves every other consideration Of
good citizenship which should influence
any workingman in that contest. Which
of the two candidates, if either of them,
has shown himself to be the pronounced
friend of organized labor and If nei her
of them has, which has shown most of
the spirit Of sympathy and cooperation
with our cause, either in private or pub
lie life?
This is the only test which the VI ion
Advocate asks any member of organized
labor to applytas between parties or can
didates in local contests. It cares nc more
personally for the Democratic tt an for
the Republican party in matters of city
concern, and no more for one Smith than
for the other in private life. Ii proposes
to take the career and character Of the
two men in relation to the cause Of or
ganized labor, and in regard to poor and
hard-working men individually, ard ask
its readers to decide on those lines who
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-04-29
CANNOT DECEIVE THEM.

Even the Republican Review Repu-
dates Its Party's Claims.
The ST. Paul Review Rep.) cannot
stand for its party as shown from the
following from it's issue Of yesterday:
TWO weeks ago it became clear that
the next board of aldermen would be
Democratic. One week ago it became
equally clear that the Republican candi-
dates for mayor and treasurer and the
assembly ticket were defeated and the
past week has afforded abundant evil
dence that McCardy himself if elected
at all, will be returned by a very narrow
margin. The proofs of a Democratic
victory in this time have been found on
every street corner and have been con-
stantly growing in certainty and con-
viction. Republican claims of ward ma
1ortties have diminished as investigation
has shown that the large registration
last Saturday has been effected by the
energy Of their opponents, and the only
consolation they can extract from the
fact is that many Republicans rode in
the opposition carriages to the booths
What does it all mean? 1t means that
the voters who believe in clean municipal
politics do not approve the practices en-
plOyed by a set of offlceholders and their
subordinates TO perpetuate themselves in
power. 1t is a protest against the tax
ing of candidates from the assembly and
from the board Of aldermen and electing
them TO county Offices, and forebodes their
certain defeat if renominated in the fall.
1t is anathema upon the "solid" wards
In the conventions and an admonition to
observe the corrupt practices act. It is
a warning against the retention in places
of trust of those whose conduct requires

George Nicholson, when elected as a
member of the assembly, which he GER
tainiy will be May 1, can be depended on
to give the interests of the city the same

che!son is a conservative and successful
business man and as such will receive
the support of the voters of the city.
The nomination of Dr. Rudolph Schiff-
mann as the Democratic candidate for
alderman from the Seventh ward, has
stopped the talk made by the Repub!i-
cans that the Republican candidate would
certainly be elected. DR.. Schiffmann
carried The ward against Mayor Kiefer
al the last election and his campaign to
date gives every indication that he will
defeat his opponent, whose sole claim
for the office is that he was once an Of
fceholder in Manitoba. The voters of
the Seventh ward are too well acquainted
with the puhlic-spirited policy of DR..
Schiffmann to do other than send him to
the council as their representative.

Collecting money about the departments
of the city hall by self-appointed solic-
itors for political purposes seems to be a
thing of frequent occurrence. Not long
since John Peterson, who is employed in
the city engineers office, called upon
other employees of the department and
asked them to give him money for the
campaign fund. Peterson is a member of
the Lincoln club When asked about the
matter yesterday, City Engineer Claussen

instance has he failed. The people OF the
ward know him personally, almost to

by his works, and the unanimous judg,

which the voters of the ward, irrespective
of party, declare will be made manifest
On the ballots Tuesday. This hearty in
dorsement from both Republicans and
democrats comes from Aid. Murphys at
t1tude as servant of the people. He has
been as earnest in serving the interests Of
the Republicans of the ward who have
desired improvements, as he has the
Democrats, acting always for the best In,

doing has shown himself representative

of cost to the property holders. The cost
of this Improvement was So, &C., an expense
that under ordinary circumstances the
property holders must have paid Aid.
Murphy worked increasingly to relieve the
residents of this burden and succeeded in
having the city pay the entire cost Not
content with securing the best of street
lighting in the most frequented part Of
the ward, he had had long lines of arc
lights strung the length of Jackson street
and the length of Rice street. At present
the Great Northern railroad is making
$4,000 worth of repairs to it's Rice street
bridge. These Improvements are due, as
much to Aid. Murphy as anyone else
During his first term in the council there
wasn't foot of sidewalk on Fairview
street. He has succeeded in having 400
feet of walk put on this thoroughfare, at
the expense of the city. This was 10
small task. Property holders on the
street, many of them, could not be

THE ASSEMBLY TICKET

hustling campaign and the assurances
he receives from the voters of the sew
ing to his own party, but from Republi-
cans, make it certain that he will be
elected by handsome majority.
J. J. :Parker's service as a member of
the assembly several years ago places
him in a position where he will receive
the united support of the taXpaying and
business votes throughout the city and
insures his election as a member Of the
assembly.
The wage earners of the city are
united on the election of Thomas T T,or-
dan, one of the Democratic nominees for
the assembly. Mr.. Jordan, although a
young man, is one of the honest hard
working mechanics of the city and his
election as a member of the council as a
representative of organized labor is as
sured, because his support will be gener-

vote cast
Henry G. Haas, one Of the representa-

known TO the citizens and voters of the
city to need any Introduction. AS a
successful business man, Mr.. Haas can
be depended on to properly care for the
interests of the city as member Of the
assembly.
OF the nine assemblymen nominated on
the Democratic ticket none is more popu-
lar throughout the city than DR.. E. H.
Whitcomb. His wide circle of friends
without regard to party have announced
that he can depend on them to see that
he is elected. DR.. Whitcomb. however.

Hereafter If Republicans want to win
they must disown the rats who have
managed their campaign. They must
seek the aid of those who have proved
their value in former contests. The par

to their former associates, and those who
believe in principle for principles sake
Will conduct future campaigns upon lines

Republican Party Committed.

The Atlanta Constitution is not at
all dismayed by the fact that several
Democrats voted with the Republicans
on the currency bill; Several Demo-
Gratis voted for the currency bill; but
they were men who had trained under
the Bucknerism of two years ago and
came from constituency from which
nothing had been expected, and which
contributed nothing to the Democratic
backbone in the campaign of 1896. On
the contrary, the great mass of Demo-
cratic members, representing the mill
tant Democracy of live and effective
constituencies, stood together and
voted against this attempt of the Re-
publicans to fasten the gold standard
upon the country.
THE result Of the vote taken has
committed the Republican party to a
declaration which it has always avoid
ed heretofore. and upon which it has
been able to blindfold the people. At
the same time. it has helped to clear
the atmosphere and to reveal the fight
ing strength of the Democratic dele
cation and thus to make the future less
doubtful than it has been heretofore" !"

London newspapers report that Sir
Alfred Milner, premier of Cape Colony,
is apprehensive of an uprising there N
behalf of the Afrikanders, and has
asked authority to declare martial law.
The British cabinet, after grave con-
sideration, refused the request, saying
that serious as the situation is, it does
not justify so radical and extreme a
measure.
In Idaho few months ago a small
mob wrecked a mill belonging to a
mining company owned by the Stand
ard Oil "crowd." There isn't any pre-
mier of the Coeur d'Alene, and the
sheriff of Shoshone county, the con-
stituted authority did not demand any
unusual aid in keeping the peace But
the mining company demanded, and
the governor ordered martial law, and
the president has kept federal troops
there ever since to enforce it, though
all the men suspected of completely in
the outrage, and all suspected of even
a remote sympathy for them, have
been driven out of the county.
