The Irish-American element in ST.
Paul, which for years past has been
in the thick Of every fight for the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket, is feel
ing pretty sore over the defeat of SO
many candidates bearing Irish names
at the recent city election, and there
is Il disposition to blame tlieir friends,
the Germans, for their trouble On
the Democratic ticket. from top t.

Irish names We're successful, viz,
Michael Doran. Jr., for the assembly,
the Sixth ward, and the following
Were defeated Kelly and O'Neil for
municipal judges, Healy for the as
sembly. and Clancy, Farrell and Fa-
hey for justices. On the other hand
every German on the Democratic tick
ct seems to have pulled through. as
follows: In the assembly. DR.. r..
Schiffmann. Henry G. Haas: on the
board of aldermen, Buschman in the
Second, Huber in the Fourth. Bantz in
the Eighth; on the city ticket, Bremen
for treasurer and Betz for comptroller
The fact that all these We're successful
is conclusive proof that the Irish vote
so called, was cast for them solidly.
while on the other hand it would GER
tainly appear as though the Germans
failed to return the compliment. We
hope however, that there We're other
and better reasons for the defeat of
the above candidates than the nation
ality issue. as it is absolutely necessary
for Democratic success that these two
elements of population pull together
