THE CITY TICKET.
Candidates of the Democracy for City
Offices and Aldermen,

The result of the primary election
was fortunate for the Democracy
of Minneapolis, as the candidates
for the various positions are unusually
strong. Mayor Gray, whose election
was advocated by The Irish Stand
ard two years ago is a candidate for
reelection. His splendid record dur
ing his term of Office ought to secure
for him an endorsement at the polls
Oh Nov. 9Th, and that too by a large
majority. There seems to be no good
reason for a change from James Gray
to DR.. Ames at this time. The admin
istration of Mayor Gray has been
broad and liberal, economical and bust
ness-like. Can anything more be ex-
pected from DR.. Ames? And again.
Mayor Gray stands firmly for the prin.
ciples of Democracy as enunciated by
the Kansas City convention and on
common ground with William j. Bry-
an and John Lind. DR.. Ames' recent
flop to the Republican party for the
sake of office and his advocacy of Nc.
Kinleyism and Hannaism entities him
to no support from fair minded Demo-
Gratis.
For City Comptroller the Democrat
ic nominee is J. o. Davis, selection
that could not possibly be excelled.
All that The Irish Standard has said
in behalf of Mr.. Davis in years gone
by is reiterated. J. o. Davis is
splendid accountant, thoroughly hon
est and capable. He was deputy coun-
ty auditor for a number of years and
for the past two years has been assist
ant bank examiner. Two years ago
he was candidate for county auditor
and was defeated by less than six
hundred. His election as city comp
troller is almost certain.
Julius ]. Heinrich for city treasurer
is another strong candidate. Possess
ing that sterling honesty and manly
bearing characteristic of the men of
German descent he is in every way
equal to the best and excels many of
those who have heretofore filled this
important Office. Mr.. Heinrich is an
old resident of this city, a man of
fine business ability and has filled the
important positions of register Of deeds
and state oil inspector with the utmost
fidelity. He is popular with the peo-
pie and will undoubtedly be elected.
d. w. Parsons and Frank T. Corris-
ton are the nominees respectively for
Judge and Special Judge of the Munic-
ipal Court. Both are we'll known at
torneys and popular with the masses,
The former is the law partner Of John
Day Smith, while Captain Corriston
since his return from the Spanish
American war has resumed his duties
of court stenographer.
In the various wards the Democrats
have secured number of strong al
dermanic candidates. John Ryan in
the first put up splendid fight for the
nomination at the primaries, and as a
result is the nominee. He should now
receive the support of united Democ-
racy, which would mean his election
by a rousing majority: In the second
ward Harris P. Stone is favorite,
and will make it lively for Aid. James
S. Lane. Peter Mitchell. the popular
Plymouth Avenue grocer is the Demo
cratic candidate in the third ward
There is no good reason why every
man in the ward should not vote for
him, for there is not one who knows
him who does not have kind word
for him. Then, too, he has the ability,
and the honesty, to make good alder
man. In the fourth ward Chas. A.
Cornman, an old resident and popu-
lar with all will make the race against
Aid. Adams. The sixth will choose
Harry A. Lund to succeed Andrew
Anderson. This is foregone conclu
sion. o. H. Shepley has been re-nom-
mated in the seventh and his past
'ecord is such as to entitle him to
mother term. John p. Courtney will
try again in the eighth. He ran well
