MINNEAPOLIS. *- _—r - POLITICAL SPLINTERS. The venerable Senator Morton S. Wil kinson, the sage ef the second district, was in the city yesterday. It Is the current belief that the senator will be the Democratic candidate for congress, to teach John Lind a few tariff object lessons. He said; "The fight in the cities with Mr. Doran has not generally reached the country districts and they don't take any part in it. I think the party is large enough to contain Doran and all his enemies, but as to his running it or saying this or that man shall not be a nominee, that is another matter. No man should use the machinery of the party for any such end. The people should dictate nominations.'' » *» . State Senator Lars Swenson, of Min neapolis, has some queer ideas of his duty as a public officer. He was excited the other day in a political discussion and exclaimed! "I don't pretend to legislate for the public. I legislate for the Republican party alone." Swenson evidently forgot himself or he would have added: "And the labor party." * » O. A. Hallin, clerk of courts of Isanti county, and George W. Nesbitt, county attorney, were in Minneapolis yester day. Both are shrewd political manip ulators at home, but they we're too shrewd to disclose the object of their visit to Minneapolis. During the day they were closeted with Judge Rea, but no word escaped through closed doors. So far as known they did not pay a •sentmental visit to either Loren Fletch er or Capt. Snider. « • An evening paper has unearthed a huge political sensation. It has discov ered a scheme on foot among the inno cent farmers of the interior to nominate Frank Davis for governor. It is throw ing a shade of doubt over the story to ocate the headquarters of the scheme In Le Sueur county, where Republicans are scarcer than alligators: but still the story goes. Frank has now been nom inated for everything but senator, but he is young yet, and all things come to bim who waits. * « Dr. D. F. Collins said yesterday, in speaking of J. M. Underwood, president of the Harrison, Morton and Ege G. A. ft. club: "Underwood has sought office rom every political party that has ever taken part in a political campaign in Minneapolis, and now he is trying to ride into office on the shoulders of the old soldiers." ALL SORTS. From that matter of fact and terse Sheet, the Tribune, -it is learned that a german at Minnetonka "was led with charming abandon by Messrs. Burwell and Handy." But for this explicit state ment one might have imagined the ger man was led with a hitching strap. If a non-partisan citizens' ticket is laced in the field, how many' straight •emocrats will it have on it? It is very nearly time for Col. Orville Rinehart to get a move on him and call the Democratic committee together. If the usual amount of mathematics is to be indulged in, that committee has no more time than it requires. Ed A. Stevens has prepared his com plaint in his suit to recover $7,000 for services in compiling, preparing and revising the city charter and ordinances, It is expectea that as City Attorney Smith authorized the work, he will advise a settlement, or ask that another attorney defend the case. It this is not done he will be placed in the highly paradoxical position ot de fending a case in which he will appear as chief witness for the plaintiff. COURT BKIHFS. Arctander & Arctander have begun An action against Andrew Swanson for 1300 for professional services rendered the defendant in preparing a case for trial in which he was the plaintiff and Ihe Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railway was defendant and in which he sought to recover $2,-1,000 damages for the loss of a leg. The case was after wards settled without going to trial by the railway -company paying Swanson fGOO. William 11. Tripp, assignee for the Empire Coffee & Spice companj, has begun an action against the Northwest ern National bank to recover 110.50, which was paid to the defendant on a promissory note just prior to the mak ing of the assignment, thereby making the defendant a preferred creditor, con trary to the insolvent law. The Manitoba railroad company has commenced an action to enjoin the ex tension of Twenty-second avenue and Jefferson street, which crosses its right Df way in Northeast .Minneapolis. Soren S. Peterson has begun an action against John J. Evans et al. to have a mechanic's lien for £120.75 foreclosed on lots 7 and 8, block 3, Monroe's addition. William Lewis obtained a judgment against Edward E. Muchmore for E1.502.9G on a promissory note. Brown, Hamilton & Co. obtained a judgment against F. S. Lewis for 1294.2G for merchandise sold. Thomas Larson obtained a judgment Against Thomas >. Germain for $136.12 on a promissory note. . L. 11. Waters sues the Albion Manu facturing company for 1129.25 for labor performed. POLICE TOPICS. * As a matter of course, the commission hill thoroughly investigate the case of Capt. Harvey.' It is entirely unneces sary to urge such an investigation as a public duty which should not be amitted. The public has a right to Know the facts and to do justice, whether for or against the accused. It may be the proper thing for Com missioner Guile to stand out as the defender of the force, but he is never theless expected to do his duty as a member of the l»oard. He is but one of five and does not entirely run the force. The public does not care to see a repe tition of the last case in which a police Officer was accused, and, by the way, it was the same Capt. Harvey. The arrangements for the annual no- lice picnic arc being talked over. There were a number of sorrowful faces when the funeral of C. 11. Tru ivorgy passed the city hall. Tin* experiment of a police matron has not proven altogether satisfactory, and it is understood that several of the commission are in favor of discontinu- Ing the oilice. ■ it is stated that a certain attorney has made the offer to procure for the rea sonable sum of $75 the appointment of a patrolman, first as n special during the exposition and then as a member of the regular force. The matter will be brought up before the commission at the next meeting, and will be looked Into if investigations are in order. Capt. Harvey was not on duty yester day afternoon and the report was straightway circulated that lie had been suspended, pending an investigation. This was a mistake, however, as the captain was simply at home fixing up a few things about his house. The Principal Police Topic. While the arrest of the four burglars Who have been doing such an amount of "night work" is still the subject of conversation at police headquarters, there were no new developments yes terday so far as Scould be learned. T. ere have been no more arrests, and it is not prova ble that any further disclosures will be made concerning the case until the examination of the men arrested Monday next. The talk concerning Capt. Harvey's complicity has not as sumed any definite shape, although it is of course certain that an investigation is to follow, although he lias been pretty successful in avoiding proceedings of a similar nature heretofore. E.W. Aldrich. the auctioneer, at whose house much of the stolen property was found., has telegraphed J. W. Field from Kingston, Out., that he is en route to Minneapolis, and isjexpected to arrive to-day.. WHAT IT_ALL MEANS. The Inwardness of the Move ment for a Citizens' Ticket fop the City. A Republican Scheme to Save Defeat on Their Own County Ticket. Republican Legislative Blun ders Coming Home to Them With a Vengeance. Some Good Reading With Re gard to the Little Scheme Now Afloat. A citizens' ticket for Minneapolis. Does the city want it? From every quarter and from every shade of political and private thought comes the answer, no. Three mouths ago the talk of a citi zens' ticket, to be chosen without re gard to politics, was begun, and the Globe made then an exhaustive review of public sentiment, and showed the people were decidedly against such a plan. The Democracy to a mau was against it, and nine-tenths of the Republicans opposed it. It was at that time regarded purely as a Republican scheme and the reason was forthcom ing. There has been, since then, no reason for a change of sentiment. At that time the Republican thinkers had ust arrived at the conclusion that a grand mistake had been made by the Republican tinkers at the legislature in fixing the municipal election at the same time with the county election. "The Democrats," they said, "are hard fighters in a ■ city election, but easy in a county election, and this thing of mixing up the two will endanger our county ticket." This was their scheme. If a complete citizens' ticket could be put in the field and the city fight eliminated from the contest the great struggle would be taken out of the county caucus. The Democratic incentive to action would be gone and the Republicans would have a walkover. Such was their reasoning at that time. Is their logic any better now ! It is the Prohibition strength- that is appalling them. * The present outlook is that the party of cold water and prayer will pull away from the effete party of God and moral ity sufficient votes to allow the Demo crats a walkover. The free whisky plank in the national Republican plat form is viewed askance by many straightlaced Republicans and openly repudiated by more. They are not yet equal to voting the Democratic ticket, but they will go over in droves to the Prohibitionists. The old rounders know it. They know that the recent cold water county convention had more regularly elected delegates than the last Republican county con vention, and showed a hundred per cent more zeal and enthusiasm. Their party is on the upward way. Its career Is viewed by the retrograde Republican party with every emotion of alarm. If the onward growth of the white rose party is unchecked, it will complete the dismemberment of the free .whisky party before the next presidential elec tion. * There is more than this. Hugh Harrison, the Prohibition nomi nee for governor, is personally very popular. He is known as a progressive young man of business ability and per sonal integrity. His character and rec- * ord are beyond reproach. He will go into the campaign with all the ardor and enthusiasm of youth and hope, " backed up by a good-sized barrel. Be yond the disgusted Republicans who will flock to his support, he will ' draw heavily from the Methodists and else where. A. J. Dean, one of tho electors, is also personally popular, and has a barrel. Harrison and Dean will draw out many new votes, and the total in Hennepin county will fall very little short of 5,000. upon which the ardent Prohibitionests count. The Republi cans know it, hence this non-partisan movement. A county official has ad mitted it to be one of the ideas to pool with certain Prohibitionists, though in this he is mistaken, as the latter will euter**into no such unholy alliance. This is the history of the citizens' tic ket movement. it has always been sprung by Republicans at a time when their party success seemed problem atical, to say the least. With an as sured victory before them they would never dream of such political move. why should Democrats now? it is con ceded that an exciting presidential and . state election is no time for a citizens' movement. There will be three tickets in the field, with the adherents of each struggling desperately for victory. Party feeling will run high, and it will be an absolute impossibility to agree upon candidates satisfactorily on all sides. Another ticket will spring up and tiie two will become simply a matter of barter and trade through the campaign. There will be no party interest or re sponsibility at stake, and votes for the city ticket will be in the market for the workers for either county ticket. It is the opinion of leading thinkers of both political parties, that a citizens' ticket is impracticable, at this time, at least. * A Republican legislature has committed the blunder of combining three elections— a scheme which was accomplished with the hope that the partisan interest in a presidential elec tion would carry the Republican ticket through. It had no other object, no other excuse. . It was a piece of politi cal skulduggery, the fruits of which are already apparent. The blunder is com ing home to its Republican authors. They will be read a lesson on legisla tion at the polls in November. What is the object of a citizens' ticket? It is publicly stated,, that something must be done to save the city from ruin; that the present extravagant and cor rupt council, has made it absolutely necessary for new and true hands to as- sume the reins of municipal govern ment. The specious plea has enlisted good men in the citizens' ticket move ment, and lent to it an air of solidity and respectability that it would not otherwise have had. But these men may be deceived. There is a more sin ister motive behind the movement. In the first place the city is in no danger and there is an absolute ignorance "of the facts in charging the present coun cil with extravagance." Most of the large expenditures of the current year and last year— when they were heavier were ordered by the last council and the money merely expended by direc tion of the present council. Besides a citizens' movement, however general, may not result in the selection of better , aldernianic material. There may be a citizens' ticket, but there will be none representing the masses of both parties. Such tickets are not made in secret back office cabals, such as was held yesterday, nor have the people learned to look without suspicion on political schemes emanat ing Irom the board of trade. To com mand respect and win confidence, a citi zens' ticket should be made of men out of politics, selected by representatives of the people. There may by such a ticket, and there may be a different citizens' ticket, with perfect right, just as there may be a labor ticket or single tax ticket, but it is not at all likely that the Utopian scheme of certain appar • ently well-meaning gentlemen will ever be carried to a successful issue. It is doubtful if it could be and doubtful if it should be. There , is no reason to be lieve a mass meeting ccfuld choose better men than would 'be ; chosen by the two parties : ; by . the usual methods. If business men would interest themselves in the primary elec tions and see that good and responsible men are the party nominees, they would go further and do more to secure the ends desired than by starting any new i movements. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1888. THAT. WOULD BE POLITICS. The Committee Not Willing to .'*,*■ Nominate Other Tickets. Yesterday afternoon Col. W. S. King, who has been identified recently with the new movement, came to the Globe office, accompanied by Capt. O. C. Mer riman. 1 Col. King has 'always been a thick-and-thin Republican, and presided over the recent Republican meeting at Harmonia hall. Capt. Merriman has been a Democrat, except locally, having been Identified with national Demo cratic affairs, but a mugwump in local affairs. taas>_%**jWßl'gwyfta "We come," said Col. King, "to an nounce that a meeting has been . held and a movement started to put a citi zens' ticket into the field for the city of ficers. We expect the aid of the Globe and of all the papers." "Where was the meeting held?" "Ask Col. King," said Capt. Merri man, "he's the spokesman here." "Oh, the meeting," said Col. King, •'was held in a large room, large enough to hold thirty or forty persons and— well, all we want to say Is that Mr. Morrison, Capt. Merriman and my self were appointed a committee to no tify the press that the meeting had taken hold. That's all." "We only proposed to put in a ticket for city officers," said Capt. Merriman. "If a citizens' ticket is a good thing for the city, why would it not be equally good for the legislative ticket?" was asked Col. King. "Well, that would be going into poli tics, you see, and we want to avoid that. If we put up a legislative ticket, the Democrats would want to vote for the Democrats and the Republicans for the Republicans. There's the tariff, you see, and a United States senator to elect." "Yes, but yon say you want to see the city government in safe hands, and that is the object of the citizens' ticket." "Yes." "Of course you know the vast inter ests Minneapolis has at stake in the legislature?" "Yes, I know that," admitted Col. King. "Well, then, isn't it of more import ance to Minneapolis to see that her in terests in the legislature are well taken care of than it is to set men up for sen ator?" Well, yes, it was, he admitted, but they were not here to discuss that, merely to make this announcement. And the committee retired. A STAR CHAMBER MEETING. Business Men Secretly Discuss a Citizens' Ticket. It was afterward learned that the meeting referred to was held in the board of trade rooms, with President Wyman presiding, 'i he affair was very quietly and secretly conducted, and none were aware of it except those ex pected to be present. It was impressed on the minds of those present that this was a gathering of business men, who held business above politics, and who had the interests or the city at heart. It was then represented that the city was going to the demnition bowwows as fast as a corrupt and extravagant council could urge it. and something must be done. A citizens' ticket, made up with out regard to politics, was the only reasonable way out of it, and that was what the meeting was to consider. No definite action was taken, but every one present was urged to agitate this mat ter and work up sentiment. The meet ing adjourned with the understanding that a second would be held at the call of the chairman. * SAMPLES OP SENTIMENT. What Men of Both Parties Think of the Scheme. A. N. Jordan, (Dem.)— A citizens' ticket would be a big fraud, and would result, as it always does, in the Repub licans catching a number of Democratic votes under false pretenses. It would be no more a citizens' ticket than the Democratic ticket would be. Ald.Gilman,(Dem.)— A citizens' ticket here in Minneapolis, would be nothing more or less than a Republican ticket. Ed. A. Stevens, (Dem.V- Our Republi can friends are badly frightened, or they would not want a citizens' ticket. M. W. Glenn, (Dem.)— We don't want any citizens' ticket. There are too many tricks about such a thing. Ben Davenport, (Dem.) — citizens' ticket? Well, hardly. Aid. Dwyer, (Dem.)— object to a citi- ** zens' ticket, because no responsibility is attached to it. If a party fails to give satisfaction, it can be held responsible' at the polls, but not so with a nondescript citizens' ticket. Aid. Stoft (Dem.) — I see no issue upon which to start a citizens' move ment. The liquor business is settled. If either the Democrats^** Republicans nominate good, clean men, there is no necessity for a third ticket. Judge Yon Schlegel (Rep.)— the Democratic and Republican parties should rest the responsibility of select ing their own candidates. If the two parties are put on their good behavior their will be no difficulty about pure men for office. James Worrell (Rep.) lt would be a shame to place such a ticket in the field and the scheme will not carry, not in eleven years. George Robinson (Rep.)— Unless we can get a better council than we have now, a citizens' ticket would be our only salvation. Ace P. Abell (Rep.)— lt would be a good thing. All Republicans want to see one placed in the field. Henry Baldry (Rep.)— As a rule a citizens' tickes is a good thing, but in Minneapolis it will depend this time on who the nominees ot the two parties are. A. H. nall,(Rep.)— A citizens' ticket is practically a Republican ticket. Inde pendent movements to nominate pure men to office have almost invariably re sulted in the nomination of Repub licans. Hon. Seagiave Smith, (Dem.)— lt will be impossible to do it. I believe in do ing city business on business principles. 1 believe the present city council has conducted affairs with more economy than for some time past. When this council came into power there was not a ward in the city which was not in debt for public improvements made to benefit speculators. Those debts have , been paid to a large extent, which has left some of the wards short of funds to pay for the necessary improvements re- quired for the present year. - When this administration came in, the general fund of the city was overdrawn or in debted to other funds to the amount of about $128,000. All this howl about high taxation and squandering the people's money is made by people who have not investigated the matter, and who do not know where to place the blame. JEFFERSOXIAN JUBILEES. .Democratic Mcc ings in the Tenth and Eleventh Wards. The Tenth ward, up in the northern part of the city, has not been doing much shouting thus far during the cam ■ paign, but is now preparing to do its part at the coming electiou in making the Democratic ticket come out with colors flying. The ward has about 500 voters, and at the last election five ,of them voted the Prohibition ticket. This year there will be more votes than five cast for the temperance, nominees in the Tenth ward. The ward has now one Demo cratic alderman, Oswald, and one Re . publican, Reeves. The vote has always been very close in the ward, but there is little doubt that it will -be changed this year, as the Tenth . ward Demo cratic club, of which .C. F. Baxter is president, is doing great missionary work. The club membership is already large and is steadily growing. . _ ■ . . ***r * There was a largely attended meet* ing of the club at the coruer of Twenty sixth avenue and Second street last evening, and a vast amount of enthusi asm was manifested. C. F. Baxter called the meeting to order in a neat speech, and introduced D. B. Johnson, who made an eloquent addres, in which he dwelt upon the dead issues that are continually being brought up' by the Republican orators. But in spite of all this talk, he said, Grover Cleveland has , given the country the . best administration it had ever had. . Next the speaker * took up the tariff and showed most conclusively how false I are the claims of the Republicans. John Byrnes followed with a speech, in which fie 1 outlines the policy of the Democratic party from its origin, and compared it with the g. 0. p. The lat ter suffered by comparison. Mr. Byrnes made a number of telling points, which were well received. - C. F. Baxter made the closing address, and it was a ring ing one in every respect. - : in j «.* v. . An enthusiastic meeting of enthusias tic Democrats was held at Tollefson's hall last night and an Eleventh Ward Cleveland and Thurman club organized with the following officers: President, Joseph Jepson; first vice president, Thomas Jones; second vice president, Ed Burke; secretary C.H.Hall; treas urer, William Burns; executive com- . mittee, J. C. Stringham, Nils Buseth and Alex W. McCallum. The next meeting will be- held Aue. 3, when music and eood tariff speeches will be the bill of fare. ■.'.;-. j- STILL HAS A HOPE. v ; \ Mrs. Barrett Claims to Have Found an Eye Witness. j. Tim and Pete Barrett, now at the j county jail undei sentence of death for murdering in cold blood Street Car Driver Tolefson, are still confident that their necks will never be encircled by the ropes, even if the supreme court does not grant the request for a new trial. Both men have been confident all along that something would turn up in their favor, and it would seem now that something has. A telegram to an evening paper, from Omaha, where Pete was captured, states that in an interview Mrs. Barrett, the mother of the boys, declared that the principal witness against the condemned boys was their brother Henry. She does not attempt to conceal her abhor rence of him and openly avows that he testified against them for some ulterior purpose of getting the reward offered by the state, and that he is a bad man. She states that since the stay of execu tion an eye-witness to the murder,. who fled the country just before the trial, has been found at New Or-; leans; that the Minneapolis authorities are ignorant of this fact; that he will be brought back if a new trial is granted, and that his testimony will ex culpate her boys. She declares her sons are innocent. Their trial has cost her $4,000. She still owns several houses and lots here and says she will become a beggar before she sees them punished if money will save them. To this end she lives in a barn in filth and squalor and rents her houses that she may be able to meet demands upon her from time to time. "If the boys get a new trial," she said, "Henry will either have to leave the country or be" shot, for there are plenty of people in Minneapolis who would as soon kill him as a chicken." Mrs. Barrett farther states that since the trial Henry has admitted to the prosecuting attorney that Pete had no complicity with the murder. WILL CHANGE THE SCENE. Work on the Pubiic Building Be gun in Earnest. While workmen on the new court house and city hall grounds were en gaged in felling a big tree yesterday afternoon, another workman drove a team of horses under it just as it com menced to fall. The man whipped up his horses, and succeeded in escaping. As it was, he and the horses had a nar row escape, as one of the larger limbs just missed them in falling. Work is piogressing rapidly there,' and unless there is some unforeseen delay the ground will be clear inside of a week. A large number of the trees which graced the old school house grounds have already been removed, and .the rest will soon follow. The school house itself stood in the center of the block, high above the street. All that is left of it now is a few walls," and these are being rapidly removed. The elevated ground is being cut down to a level, and! nearly all the small out-buildings are disappearing from view. In one or two weeks the excavating,,. begin, in j earnest, and pushed to a' rapid comple tion . ..<-..'• ■"■ '.'. ) ". ■ . EQUALIZING TAXES. Numerous Changes in. Valuations as Returned by. Assessors. At the meeting of the city board of equalization yesterday the assessment of the Minneapolis Fuel company was raised $5,000, the Minneapolis Sidewalk and Paving company, $2,000; the Mill Wood company, $2,500; the North Star Coal company, $2,000; Pioneer Fuel company from $11,000 to $25,000, Brad street's and It. G. Dun's commercial agencies to $2,250 each and Warner Jewelry company from $2,000 to $10,000. The Northwestern Guaranty Loan company was notified to show the board where the real estate put in their re turn of $250,229.37, Mrs. James Rickey, 1508 Harmon Place, to show cause why she should not be assessed $25,000 for credits; the Star Printing company why its assessments should not be raised to $18,000, the Minneapolis Asphalt Paving company why it should not be raised to $2,500. The board decided to consider the frauchies of newspapers, the street rail way, gas company and Electric Light company Monday afternoon. Contracts Let, The board of education has let the contract for famishing 5,000 tons of coal to the Minneapolis Fuel company at $3.38 for La Salle and $3.15 for Green Oak coal. The Minneapolis School Desk company was given the contract for 1,800 school desks at $2.33% per desk". Other contracts were awarded as fol lows: J. S.

' Roasting Chestnut's Bookkeeper. The Chestnut boot and shoe failure case has now taken another turn, and things are liable to prove decidedly in teresting for H. 11. Ricker, Mr. Chest nut's bookkeeper. The creditors have combined, it is stated, and will attempt to recover from Mr. Ricker on the ground that he was a virtual partner with Mr. Chestnut. It is somewhat doubtful if anything can be done, how ever, as the law provides that in such cases a receiver may be appointed, and .that such receiver can recover the value of the goods if it can be proven that they were taken with the knowledge that the owner was insolvent at the time. , _^ V': Clarence H.

Joseph Gallagher, as administrator o_ Nicholas Gallagher, deceased, has begun an action against Bant Arntson for $s,ooo damages for the killing of Nicholas Gallagher. The plaintiff states in his complaint that Arntson has been en gaged for some time in quarrying and removing rock from a stone quarry at the corner of Second street and Second avenue northeast, and for lifting the rock from the quarry to the street he used a derrick connected by a rope and > pulley with a windlass. * On the 6th of last May Arntson, after lifting a large rock from the quarry to the street, care lessly left the rope still attached to the rock, and went away from the quarry without locking the wind lass. Soon after, several small children who were playing near the quarry, commenced running around on the large pieces ot rock which were lying in the . street and caused the rock which was attached to the derrick rope to slip from the bank into the quarry. The weight of the rock caused the windlass to revolve with great speed aud the sweep at tached to the windlass struck Nicholas Gallagher, aged seven years, who was standing near by and instantly killed him.

Being the most ancient, it Is the most general of all diseases or affections. . How can it be cured? By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished, has proven itself a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful.
