tory
Coalition Victories in Eng
land

Results IN the city election OF
st. Paul, while they do not show
complete victory for tho labor
ticket, offer great encourage
ment for independent politics. 1t
was labor's first attempt to cap
ture the city government it Sc
cured one-half of the council
seats. The candidate for mayor
lost by the. close vote of 19,O5O
to 1852. The total vote was
greater than any St. Paul has
hitherto cast, indicating un-
usual interest and probably also
an unusual amount of ballot-boN
frauds by the special privilege
machine.
The election would tend to
show that the yelping Of ultra
radicalism at those who stand
for honestly and thorough re-
form adequate for the problems
in hand, has lost it's force. 1t
was never worked harder than
in St. Paul and if the voters had
! believed it the labor candidates
would have gotten hundreds in
stead Of thousands Of votes.
| The alliance between the we'll
to.do and the vice elements was
also much evidence. In the
labor wards the anti-labor cam
didates got what is known as
the machine vote, that is the
votes Of all those who get some
thing out of machine rule. In
some cases these voters are men
who have been saved from Jail ;
others are those aided by chari-
ty distributed by ward heelers
others are protected criminals
others are men paid in one way
or another to round up voters
others are city employes-an
altogether they make a total
larger than one who does not
follow politics closely would i'm
agine. The puritans united with
the black-legs to defend vice and
their own gratis, such as un-
equally low taxes, the rentals
from vice resorts or street rail-
way privilege.
