FOR CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT
RAMSEY COUNTY MINI.

Captain Henry A. Castle, resident
of. Saint Paul for forty. years and al
ways prominently and actively at work
for the city and for his party, is now
a candidate for Clerk of the District
Court on the Republican ticket
Captain Castle, has some points that
specially appeal to the colored Repub-
lican voters. He fought during the
war for the Union and was severely
wounded in battle. He made many
speeches in Minnesota in 1857 favor
ing the State Constitutional Amend
ment granting manhood suffrage. He
has in all public and private capacities
shown a spirit of fairness toward the
colored race, and keen interest in its
advancement.
From 1897 to 1903 he was Auditor
for the Post Office Department at
Washington. Among the 900 employ.
es under him were 100 colored men
and women holding all positions from
Chief of Division downward to mes
sengers and laborers. It is the uni.
versal testim ony that no bureau officer
in Washington ever treated this ele-
ment with more. justice and consider.
,ation
When Captain Castle resigned many
Of his subordinates sent him voluntary
expressions of their regret. Among
these letters was one from DR.. Geo. H.
Richardson, for nearly 80 years a Clerk
in the Office, now in the highest grade.

NJ. w. FITZGERALD.
Republican Candidate for Renomina-

County

Republican Candidate for Renomina-
ton as Register of Deeds Ramsey
County.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is no stranger to the
voters and taxpayers of Ramsey Coun-
ty. He is candidate at the earnest
solicitation of attorneys, real estate
men and the many who have business
with him. He is efficient, straightfor-
ward, honorable, upright and his in
telligent management of the office
makes it one of the best conducted in
the State.
It was during Mr.. Fitzgerald's in
cumbency that the Torrens system
of transferring real property was au-
thorized by the legislature in the coun-
ties of Ramsey, Hennepin and ST..
Louis. Since the passage Of that law
which constitutes the register of deeds
of Ramsey county. the register of
titles, Mr.. Fitzgerald has devoted a
great deal of time and study to the
adaptations of the system to this county.
He has labcred necessarily upon the
system, preparing forms, arranging de
tails, and attending to the thousand
and one thin2s necessary to facilitate
anu pClICSC- sOpO1oL1OA vi IllO uOW
law. This in itself has involved much
time and labor. but Mr. Fitzgerald
feels that his efforts have, been amply
rewarded by the results.
Aside from all considerations of poll
tics, M. W. Fitzgerald deserves the
support of the electorate. He has prov.
ed his worth by his daily work, and
there is no excuse that can be justly
advanced in favor of a change.
Faithful discharge of onerous public
duty, for small compensation, can no
where be better rewarded than in the
reelection of M w. Fitzerald.
AS the Afro-Americans in large mum
bers are acquiring property it behooves
them to take an interest in the matter

been returned four times. 1t would
require a great deal of space to at:
tempt to enumerate the various import
ant, beneficial results of Mr.. Stevens
labors in Congress, no other congress
man from this district ever did so
much. Before going to Congress he
was an able, active worker in the Re.
publican ranks for many years, always
the same, genial, urbane, consistent
gentleman; and, he wears the same
size hat now that he did then. He
has always shown heartfelt interest
for the Afro-American and for the past
six years he has had as his clerk, Fred
D. McCracken, Which is very tangible,
ocular evidence that his heart is in
the right place.
Mr.. Stevens is candidate for re,
nomination, he should be nominated
and if nominated he will surely be
elected; and, all who help him may
feel sure they are helping to keep Mr..
McCracken in his position.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Among the Republicans who will
have no opposition either at the pri-
maries or general election are the fol-
lowing: Judges Hascal R. Brill and
William Louis Kelly for the district
bench, and Judge 3. W. Bazille for
probate judge. The Democrats who
are alike without opposition are Henry
McColl, candidate for senator in the
Thirty-third district, and John G. Har-
dy, candidate for senator in the
Thirty-ffth district. Their election is
assured at present.
There are five offices for which no
Democrat filed but for which two or
more Republicans fled The pri-
maries wifi determine these Offices
w. w. Dunn and j. A. A. Burnquist
will fight it out for senator in the
Thirty-third district; John BlomQuist
and Andrew G. Johnson will do the
same for representative from the
First ward; the primaries will deter
mine the next senator from the
Thirty-sixth district, with E. S. Dur
ment and w. H. Lightner in the field;
either Ambrose Tighe or Gideon s..
Ives will be the next Seventh ward
representative and one of the two Re-
publican nominees for representative
in the Thirty-seventh district will
surely be elected because the Demo-
Gratis have only one candidate for the
two positions.
George a. Nash, candidate for the
Republican nomination for county
commissioner, is one of the best
known of the older residents of the
city. He has lived here half cen
tury and more, and has alwaysaserved
his city and his fellow citizens well.
He is deserving of hearty support.
NJ. W. Fitzgerald, candidate for the
Republican nomination for register of
deeds, is a Junior Pioneer and an old
resident of st. Paul. He deserves the.
hearty support Of all voters.

Things happen in Kentucky that re-

Williams had captured deaf and

her to the mountains, and kept her a
prisoner in hollow tree. She was
rescued, and he served penitentiary

Krahmer's life spent among us, his
public and private record, had earned
for him, to the knowledge of many the
character that was so wanted. The cir
eumstances were then extremely I'M
favorable for a republican candidate,
but he consented to make the run, was
nominated and was elected.
He more than fulfilled the hopes Of
those who had called him to difficult

caused it to occupy a vastly different
place in the public estimation.
Shambling laxity, incompetency and

In Georgia, lowing to the scarcity
of labor, farmers, where they are able
to do it, are paying the fines of able
bodied prisoners and putting them on
their plantations to work them out.
1t is true they take their chances on
getting the equivalent of the fine in
labor, but in so great need of labor do
they stand that they are willing to
do this and sometimes even more"
The scarcity Of farm labor is not
peculiar to Georgia, it exists all over
the country. Of course the laborers
are Afro-Americans, and of course,
they are in prison because of that fact
and for mental offenses. Georgia is
hard to convince, but it will come.

A correspondent of the New York

OF Southern chivalry which he claims
to have been nurtured for generations.
The fact is that the chivalry Of the
South is simply a relic Of the feudal
ages and is founded upon class dis
tincticns. It is the class Of chivalry
which limits it's field of operations to
class but ignores the claims of hui
manity. It was admirable in the dark
