Ramsey County Afro-Americans Pre-
pare for Vigorous Campaign.
The colored men of Minnesota are
| going to take an active and effective
| part in the coming state campaign.
| The colored men of st. Paul and Ram
sey county will be especially active and

pain plans in motion.
The Ramsey County Afro-American
Democratic league held large and in
tensely enthusiastic meeting Wednes-
day night at the league headquarters,
40 East Third street, at which P. H.
Reid presided.
The state ticket was enthusiastically
Endorsed and every mention of Mr..
Rosing's name was cheered to the echo.
1t was decided to prosecute a campaign
which for vigor shall be record
breaker, and as one of tbs means to
that end a marching club was orga-
nized The club has a charter men,
bership of forty-five and will be under
the drill instruction of Capt. Samuel
Amber.
The speech of the evening was deliv-
cred by j. S. Harris, who was followed
in short pithy addresses by Samuel
Amber, N. Casey, John Jackson and S.
E. Hardy. Mr.. Hardy handled Van
SAINT and his administration without
gloves and characterized the extra seS-
sion of the legislature called by the
governor as an example of Republican
economy which the people will repudi-
ate at the polls in November.
Mr.. Harris said that never has there
been a better prospect of Democratic
success; that the people are fully
awakened and will no longer tolerate
the fragrant violations of the law and
rights of the people that have charac-
terized the Republican administrations.

officials for two years; he said, have
been among the most disgraceful in the
history of the state, and have only been
equaled by the wholesale corruption
and frauds practiced by the Republican
officials of Minneapolis With two for
mer officials convicted of felonies and
third a fugitive from justice, it was
small wonder that the people are
aroused. a
The organization will meet weekly,
and the leaders say their active men,
bership will be the largest in the his
tory of the league.
GRIsT OF THE POLITICAL MILL.
T. G. Brunson, the Democratic can
didate for abstract clerk, writes T e
Gil Of e something of his political rec
ord and the reasons for his candidacy.
Mr.. BrunSon says that he is a Demo-
crat and was a Democrat before the
war. He is an attache of the office he
seeks to fill as chief, and summarizes
his platform as follows:
while employed as public servant
in this Office as clerk, Democrats, Re
! publicanS or any others who come on
business shall be waited upon with
uniform civility and dispatch. This is
business proposition; a public trust,
instead of a private snap. The records
of this office are as much to be looked
after as any of the records in the court
house. They have cost the people up
wards of 100000, and ought not to be
brushed aside"
Olmsted county Republicans who are
afraid that Stebbins will land the NOM
ination to the senate are now sending
up howl for Underleak to again get
in the game. Underleak has had only
| one term, as his candidacy was insti-
gated by the Wagoner-R Richardson
Morrison company, limited, aided and
abetted by the Stewartville contingent,
| for the purpose of paying off Stebbins
for the manner in which he defeated
Morrison for denomination. The SEN
atorial nomination had by custom been
given Rochester from time immemoriaI,
and Underleak, who was and is vet a
| resident of Chatfeld, erected a fine res
| fdence in Rochester, on lot purchased
| from Richardson. Now Underleak has
declined to run again, and with Henry
Hymes waiting for the nomination to
| be handed him, and with Bush and
| Spencer in the field to divide up the
| vote, the old crowd begins to fear that
| Stebb1nS will crawl under the gate, and
they insist that UnderIeak must help
| them out.
There's no uSe-a good man will not
| be kept down. Robert H. Seng, late
| candidate for mayor on the Republic
an primary ticket, still has faith in
| his abilities as a. vote getter, and yes
| terday lined himself to demonstrate
his running speed by depositing $40
| with County Auditor johnson, for the
| purpose of getting his name on the
| primary ticket among those who would
serve on the board of county commits
| SiOnerS.
DR.. j. A. Du Bots, of Sank Center.
| Democratic candidate for congress in
| the new Sixth district, was in st. Paul
| yesterday, returning from a vacation
| trip.
DR.. Du Bots is going home to con-
tinue fight for Democratic success in
the new district which he views with
the eyes of an optimist. His candidacy
was not announced until the Democra-
| cy of the district demanded it, and with
the leaders of the party pulling to-
| gether the success of a popular and
able man like DR.. Du Bots is not such
uphill work as the alleged normal Re
publican majority of the district makes
it appear
Congressman James A. Tawney yes
terday announced his position on the
issues of the campaign for the First
| district nomination. Revision of the
tariff, reciprocity, the election of
| United States senators by direct vote
of the people and the enactment of
| legislation for the regulation and con-
troll of trusts and combinations are the
four principal planks of the platform
on which he says he stands.
]. S. Vandiver, Of the ST. Peter Jour-
nal, and late director of the Republican
| state central committees press bureau.
| was in st. Paul yesterday in confer
| ence with party leaders. Several Re-
publicans close to the inner working
of the party treadmill claim that the
new director of the bureau is up
against a situation which he finds not
entirely congenial, and that the serv-
ices of Vandiver, who is now called the
"Gadfiy" of the administration, are
| again in demand.
