a Influence of the leaders went to other ■aspirants. Schoonmaker was disgusted. {So were other candidates who were not nominated, but Schoonmaker was par ticularly, out of sorts with the result. He was willing to get even and told the friends of Col. Kiefer and Johnny Wagener that he would be with them if they wanted to make a fight on the Republican ticket or on any particular candidate. His offer was accepted, and Schoonmaker will be found work ing for Wagener from now until elec tion day. Sheriff Chapel has too good a grip on the underground wires of the Republi can party not to discover the jarring of the machine at an early date. His most trusted men were sent out to re pair the breaks and some others of his workers, equally influential and powerful, called on Mayor Doran. The major was appealed to. In fact, the mayor was told in set terms that he must get out and hustle personally for the Republican candidate for sheriff. It was pointed out to Mr. Doran that certain employes of the city were not disposed to remember they owe their allegiance to the Republican party and its nominees. These men. it was said, arc already pledged to support Chapei, but are in reality intending to help Wagener. This ingratitude, the com mittee said. Mr. Doran, as major of the i-ity. must nip in tpe bud. The supporters of Col. Kiefer say they are for the rest of the Republican ticket, but they are after Chapel's scalp. The head of the national and state tickets, they say. will be warmly supported by all the Germans who are Intending to bolt Chapel for Wagener. * * * The Prohibitionists of the Third congressional district will meet in mass convention at G.

Fourth and Fifth precincts of the Sixth ward, was organized at No. 112 South Wabasha street last evening with the following officers: President, W. C. Squires; secretary, F. J. Smith; treasurer, Joseph Roupf. When the organization had been completed, brief speeches in favor of the gold standard and sound money were made by S. A. Anderson, Republican candidate for county attorney; ex-Congressman Sto well, of California, also ex-congressman from Minnesota; David Peebles; and Dr. A. J. Stone. Mr. Anderson took Mr. Bryan to task on the proposition that the free coinage of silver would result in raising the price of silver bullion to $1.29 an ounce, and denied the assertion of the Demo cratic presidential nominee, citing by way of argument the price of sliver bullion in Mexico and Japan at the piesent time, where, he claimed, it brought only the price paid for It in this country. According to Mr. Bryan's own statements, Mr. Anderson said, free coinage would cause a raise in the price of commodities. If this was so, how was the laboring man to sup- j port his family if there was no cor responding rise In wages. There would be no accompanying increase in wages, I and consequently the free coinage of silver would irreparably injure the laboring classes. The argument of the free silverites that employment would be more plentiful If their policy should be adopted, was met with the statement on the part of the speaker that it made little difference if this should be true if the wages were not increased and the money In which the working man was paid was only worth half as much as it was formerly. Optimistic predic tions such as the free silverites were now Indulging, the speaker said, were the product of hard times and meant but little. On the other hand, he de clared the adoption of a free coinage law would mean ruin for the United StPtes from ocean to ocean. At this juncture, Mr. Anderson waa interrupted by one of the audience, who asked him to explain how free silver , would ruin this country. The man said he had always been a Republican, but that as a railroad man, he had been blacklisted throughout the sys tems of the Unfited States for the part , he took in the strike of 1894, and as the railroads were supporting the g-old I •standard, be thought the gold standard was accomplishing some little ruin it self. Mr. Anderson tried to reply to the question, but such a mass of questions were fired at him by the seeker after knowledge, that in order to keep an engagement at another meeting, he turned him over to the other speakers. Mr. Stowell, who served in congress from California, and who at one time represented the Sixth Minnesota dis trict in the house, said that the so called crime of '73 was not a crime. Much free silver sentiment was engen dered by leading the people to suppose that sliver had been demonetized by dishonest means and as he had been In congress when the act of 1873 was adopted, and knew to the contrary, he wanted to defend the passage of the law. It had been discussed by con gress for three years and especial em phasis placed on the fact that the Bilver doflar was to be dropped from the currency. Every congressman and United . States senator knew this and the people tit Iprge knew it, yet the measure was unanimously passed by both branches of congress. Mr. Peebles explained his position as a sound money Democrat and then con demned free silver as a dangerous policy for adoption by this country*. It would cheapen the price of the work ing man's money, raise the price of commodities and pauperize the Ameri cans as individuals and as a nation. A reference to Mexico brought the former questioner of Mr. Anderson to his feet, and for twenty minutes he in dulged in questions, compelling the Bix-aker to retire almost before he had gotten started in his argument. Dr. Stone said he placed country above party, and in upholding the gold standard, he believed himself to be fighting for American honor. He had Campaign Supplies.

Dr. Stone said he was talking as a laboring man and that in his opinion free silver meant 'financial sui cide for this country. The irrepressible questioner closed the meeting with a third series of In terrogations. The club organized last evening, will meet at No. 112 South Wabasha street e\ery Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. • * * Republican candidates on the county ticket met yesterday afternoon and made their recommendations for ap pointment on the executive committee and for the chairmanship of the com mittee. So many names were suggest ed that Gen. Clapp, who, as chairman of the recent county convention, will name the executive committee, deferred the announcement of his selection until today. The executive committee forms a part of the county committee, the other members being chosen by the chairmen of the precinct committees. At the meetings held in all the wards Tuesday night, the following members of the committee were chosen: First ward. Dr. W. A. Whitney; Second ward. W. L. Ames; Third ward, Andrew Holm; Fourth ward, K. D. Lib-bey; Fifth ward, Charles R. Parker; Sixth ward, August Fitzer: Seventh ward, Harry T. Drake; Eighth ward, Ed H. Devine; Ninth ward, Charles S. Benson; Tenth ward, Thomas A. Montgomery; Eleventh ward, not reported. The holdover members of the com mittee, whose successors will not be chosen until after the meeting of the city convention in 1898, are: First ward. T. B. Maloney; Second ward, Nic Flynn: Third ward, J. C. Relchardt; Fourth ward, Henry Smith; Fifth ward, John F. Selb; Sixth ward, P. D. Godfrey; Seventh ward, S. P. Spates; Eighth ward, M. F. Hal lowell; Xinth ward, P. D. Youngman; Tenth ward. F. F. Stevens; Eleventh ward, S. L. Howell. The new members reported from the first district of the country are C. B. Boody and James M. King. Four members of the old executive i committee must be reappointed. This leads the knowing ones to think T. L. Schurmeier will be reelected as chair man of the county and city committee, and that Fred Zollman will be con tinued as *:h airman of the executive committee which carries with it the j management of the county campaign. » » * L.

Northwestern tour planned for Palmer and 3uckner by the National Democratic committee will include the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The candidates of the National Democrats will leave Chicago, Oct. 10, on a special train that will be chartered for the entire trip, which will include a portion of Michigan, across Wisconsin, Into Minnesota, and then through lowa, a portion of Kansas, Missouri and Ohio. The first place to be visited will be Grand Rapids, Mich., and then the vet eran candidates will go to Milwaukee. Meetings will be arranged for at inter mediate points between the Wisconsin metropolis and St. Paul, which point will probably be reached about Oct. 15. After leaving Minneapolis the train bearing the candidates will proceed through Southern Minnesota, stopping briefly at various points where the can didates will speak. Other speakers will probably accompany the party so that the principals will not be worn out from frequent calls upon their fund of ora tory. This trip has been planned that the voters of the Northwestern states, where the great battle of the cam paign is to be waged, may come in direct contact with the Democratic can didates who stand on a platform of pure Democracy. It will teach the rank and file that the question of reg ularity, which alone attaches thous ands of voters to Bryan, is over shadowed by the question whether or not the ancient faith and principles of Democracy shall be perpetuated. The effect of the trip, too, will doubtless be to offset whatever favorable Impression Bryan may have made in his tours through the same territory. The local committee of the National Democrats has not as yet heard any definite word of the time of the arrival of the Palm er-Ruckner party, but it Is expected that Information will be received with in a few days and plana made for a. monster rally on the occasion. • * * C. H. Lienau, editor and publisher of the Vclksseltung, is in San Diego, Cal., leaving the management of his paper to his son. But even in far away Cal ifornia, Mr. Lienau is not without in fluence in Minnesota, As a prophet and adviser he was the strongest of the Germans in St. Paul and tor thirteen I years represented the city in the legis lature. In an interview printed in the San Francisco Call, of recent date, Mr, Lienau says: "I have been a Democrat all my life. I w-as a presidential elector for Fremont In 1856, and have been a Democrat ever since. But lam not for Bryan. My paper will never support any man who advocates a repudiation of Uie national debt or anything that hints of national dishonor In finances or In anything else. lam an out-and-out Mc- Kinley man, and my paper is an out-and-out McKinley paper. Naturally It has consider able influence as the only German daily In Minnesota. "Minnesota," continued Mr. Lienau, *'i« safe for McKinley. That state has a large proportion of naturalized citizens in it and they perceive more clearly somehow than the native Americans what great need there is for a high protective tariff and sound money in this country. Mon who were born and raised in the old world know what low wages mean, and they know a good thing in the United States when they see it. They are opposed to anything that will reduce wages to the standard they know so well In Europe. They are in favor of a dollar that is a dollar, and when they work hard for their money they want it to be woiili something, That is the reason why Minnesota is safe for Mo- Kinley." "What is your opinion of California?** "Well." replied Mr. Lienau, "when I first came out to the coast I perceived a rabid silver sentiment. Everybody seemed to be Inoculated. But the information that has come during the campaign has taught voters more about the money question, and the more they study it the less they are for silver. I see a rapid reduction in the number of sil verites and a decided abatement in the ultra views of those who still espouse that cause. If the campaign would only continue six months you would not find as many silverites as there are Prohibitionists now. The cam paign of education Is bringing them around to McKinley and sound money. They are seeing plainer everj' day that prosperity can not be attained by 'monkeying' with the sta bility of the money of the country. They were crazy for a change, and when sliver was sprung they went for it open-mouthed but now they are seeing their error. By November I expect to see an immense falling off in the adherents of the silver craze and the defeat of those who still cling to that fallacy." T • * • There was a rousing sound money meeting last evening at St. Francis hall. James and Warsaw streets. W. C. Thorpe was chairman. The first speaker was Judge Charles A. Flan drau, who paid considerable attention to the so-called crime of *73, which, he declared, was far from being a crime. Until that year, said the speakar, the United States had coined but eight million silver dollars. They were not hi general circulation. The people did not like to handle them, and they were considered objectionable in large trans actions owing to their size and weight. Few people had ever seen the sliver dollar at that period, and the coins were hoarded up in the treasury as no one wanted to handle them. Little by little the silver dollars found their way to China, India and Mexico. In 1873 the government stopped the coinage of silver dollars, and devoted the coin age of that metal to halves, quarters and dimes. No one objected at the time, and 1* was considered a good " thing. But that -fa what is now called the "crime of "TS." Sine* then the g^^Ai^-^fa THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 189^ g<s^e*^r|*i^nt"Ti"aii "coined" between 400 and w& million silver dollars, each as good as a gold dollar as long as the government was back of it with a gold standard. But even these silver dollars have peen as difficult to get Into circulation as the first coined. No one wanted to handle them, and the government offered to pay all express charges to banks which would accept them. The country, said Judge Flan drau, has in circulation all the money necessary to carry on domestic and foreign commerce. The silver Is being stacked up In the vaults and lies idle. Yet the argument of Bryan and his followers is that the country needs more money, a fallacious statement, as 97 per cent of the commerce of the United States is being transacted through checks, drafts, etc., without the direct use of cash. The speaker showed that it was quality and not quantity which was needed. It has been the history of nations and the grand expansion of commerce that the gold standard has been the only stable basis of successful government. Gold Is the best metal for the reason that it was the most precious, the most dif ficult to obtain, its value stable, and Its production uniform. The production had never been so great that its value had suffered. It has been the history of this nation, that when two metals are established upon a parity, that one ultimately falls below the other, and that the cheaper money drives the more precious into seclusion. The ef fect of the possible Introduction of silver has already been seen in the rapid retirement of gold as a circulat ing medium. It is almost impossible to secure gold at any of the banks. Judge Flandrau narrated the results of his investigations in Japan and Mexico. He declared that both coun tries were working steadily toward the adoption of the gold standard. S. A. Anderson followed In an ex tended address in which he declared that the Republican party and the sound money Democrats were not ad vocating a revolution of the financial system of the nation. They were mere ly working to secrfre the perpetuity of the system, which, during the past years has advanced the commerce of America to its present stupenduous volumn. Mayor F. B. Doran followed. He said that no amount of legislation could es tablish and maintain two precious metals upon a parity. Every experi ment of this kind which had ever been tried had resulted disastrously. WALTHER'S CASE DISMISSED. Charge of Illegal "Liquor Selling Is Dismissed. E. B. Walther, a saloon keeper at 925 Rice street, was before Judge Orr yes terday charged w-ith selling liquor to Charles Arnston, a fourteen-year-old lad. Arnston was arrested the evening of July 27, by Patrolman Brennan, of the Rondo street district, on a charge of disorderly conduct. The complaint in the case against Walther was not filed or a warrant issued until Sept. 18, the boy's mother at that time swear ing out the warrant. Just before the warrant for Walther's arrest on a charge of selling liquor to the boy was issued, Arnston had been arrested for the larceny of a pocketbook con taining fifty cents The testimony yes terday brought out the fact that Arn ston is now unde- commitment at the reform school. He testified that he pur chased three cans of beer at Walther's saloon on the afternoon of July 27, and In order to procure the necessary coin to make the purchase, he sold some school books. The lad identified Wal ther as the person who sold him the beer. John Duoharme, of 920 Gaultier street, testified to seeing the lad in an intoxicated condition on the night in question, and also to having notified Patrolman Brennan who arrested Arn ston. Walther denied that he sold the boy any beer, and said he was not at home on the afternoon of July 27. Pa trolman Brennan said the boy was not drunk, but was somewhat disorderly. Ex-Sergt. Tegeler testified that the boy had told him the morning following his arrest that he had been given the beer by a man on Woodbridge street. Judge Orr decided there was no convincing proof as to Walther's sale of the liquor, and dismissed the case. "WANTS IT REVIEWED, Attorney General Chllds' Plea in the Section 30 Case. Attorney General Childs yesterday sent to Washington an application for a review of the decision of the secre tary of the interior In the famous sec tion 30 case. In his application the at torney general recites some of the sal lent features of the testimony submit ted to the department, and calls atten tion to what he considers conflicts in the rulings of the department at various times which he thinks clearly entitle the state to a review of the case and a reversal of the decision rendered a few months ago. It is contended by the state that it is prohibited by natural : clrcumst&mces from strlctl> complying with some of the requisites demanded by the Interior department, notably that requiring it to establish by exact testimony the swampy character of certain tracts at a date long prior to the first government survey. The i pplica tion was forwarded to the department at once. MAY REMOVE FROM ST. FATUI* Headquarter* of the International Barbers' I'nion. H. P. Miller, president of tho local branch of the Journeymen Barbers' In ternational Union of America, left last evening for Indianapolis, Ind.. where he will address the barbers of that city tomorrow ever.ing. From there he will go to Evandville, Ind., arhere the bien nial convention of the organization meets 'Tuesday, Oct. 6. The conven tion promtf ib to be one of the most im portant In the history of the organiza tion, and delsgates from thirty-three states will be present A hM. contest is in view for the different offices, es pecially that of president, but Mr. Mill er stands a good show to be re-elected If he desires to run. The question of licensing the barbers will receive the earnest consideration of the convention, arid it is quite pos sible that steps will be taken to agitate that question all over the United Sates. The organization Is at present in a flourishing condition and promises to be one of the leading labor organiza tions in the country. It Is not certain whether its head quarters will remain in St. Paul, where they have been located for a number of years, or be removed. EMD OF THE MOORE CASS.

SPIRIT OF EGOHOfAY IT ANIMATED TUB MEETING OF ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE OJf wals abtd means, ivtcardy Plat's the sphinx, AND REFI "SES "TO ANSWER QUE. RIES MADE BY THE SCHOOL BOARD. TIM REAKDON AS THE WATCHDOG Inalata the Expense of City Depart. meats Be (ut Down Even by Herole Measures. Timothy Reardon's resolution requir ing the city engineer to so rearrange his office force as to reduce the ex penses thereof to $1,000 a month, was considered by the assembly commit tee on ways and means yesterday afternoon. The pay roll for the month of September just past amounted to $1,976.65. The committee went over the list of employees briefly. Mr. Reardon, who was present, informed the com mittee that in his opinion there was no necessity for a bridge engineer, nor for four assistant engineers. City En gineer Rundlett was not present, but the committee took action notwith standing, without going into details or recommending any specific changes, the committee decided, on motion of Assemblyman Mabon, to recommend the adoption of a resolution restricting the monthly expenses of the city en gineers office to $1,200, the resolution to take effect Nov. 1, 1896. The Intention is to have the matter discussed before the entire assembly. Should the resolution as amended ever become effective, it would necessi tate the removal of several of the pres ent members of the engineer's office force. President Abbott, of the school board appeared before the committee and submitted for its approval a contract with George McGeary for equipping the Van Buren school in the Second ward with a new heating and ventilat ing apparatus. The contract price stated was $4,991. Dr. Abbott informed the committee that the present furnace plant in the ' Van Buren school was practically worn out and inadequate to properly heat the school. The ques tion was, out of what fund could the work be paid for. Dr. Abbott thought that the fund known as the school "rental and repair fund," could be di verted for that purpose. City Comp troller McCardy was thereupon sent for. In answer to Dr. Abbott's ques tion, Comptroller McCardy said: "Any contract of this nature that the school board may make must be paid for out of the fund devoted to sup plies, fuel and repairs. No other fund can be devoted to that purpose." "What amount is there in that rental and repair fund?" inquired Dr. Abbott. Comptroller McCardy— About $3,500. Dr. Abbott— lt was $5,000 according to the last report I saw. Comptroller McCardy— Alright, call it what you like. Dr. Abbott— Can't the council by or dinance divert that fund as the council originally created it? Comptroller McCardy — That Is a question of law. The council has already passed &» ordinance pursuant to the charter providing a certain sum of money for the maintenance of the schools, and all expenses most be paid out of that appropriation. Dr. Abbott — But why don't the coun cil divert this specific fund to the pur pose in question? McCardy— You must answer those questions. I am not on the witness stand. Then the comptroller vouchsafed a scheme of his own. He said that he Intended to recommend to the com mon council that the rental and repair fund, about which there had been so much controversy, be made a part of, or be closed into the general school fund, to help make up the amount ap propriated by the council for the main tenance of the schools. The rental and repair fund so added or "closed Into" the school fund would not constitute an additional fund, but become only an additional source 6f income to the school fund. "But," repeated Dr. Abbott, "If the council has a right to make such a disposition of? this rental and repair fund as you -suggest, why can't the council use it Tor "this speciric purpose proposed?" Comptroller McCardy remained silent. Dr. Abbott thereupon departed unable to gain the information he desired. The comptroller loosened up a little after the departure of Dr. Abbott, and informed the committee that in case the rental and repair fund were closed into the school fund, the prospects ot raising the entire amount appropriated for the schools would be. greatly im proved. The committee might there fore, if it saw fit, approve the contract, which Would become a charge on the regular school maintenance fund. Upon examining the form of the pro posed contract, the comptroller pro nounced it worthless as it did not state the fund out of which the pay ment was to be made. This defect was remedied by inserting after the figures $4,991 the words "payable out of the fund for the maintenance and support of the public schools." The clause re quiring the heating plant to be com pleted on or before Nov. 10, 1896, waj* amended by extending the time to, Jan. 5, 1897, and In this form, the committee voted to recommend the approval of the contract. The committee received from the Are board a statement containing the esti mate of the expenses of maintaining the department for the year 1897. The amount actually needed, according to the estimate of the fire board, will be $206,508.22. The matter was laid over, as it comes properly before the con ference committee next December.

Dudley Rhodes, the bridal party standing; in a. half circle behind the clergyman and facing the bride and groom. The beautiful and simple ser vice of the Episcopal church was used. The church deooratVm* made an effect ive setting for the bridal party, the scheme of color being all white and yel low, beautiful* yellow autumn leaves and yellow ai|fl white rosea carrying out the effect And {graceful palms be ing used as a pleasing background.

After the reception Mr. and Mrs. Braden took the Duluth train from the union station much to the dis may of a group of young people to whom their plans were unknwn, but who, having guessed at the possibility of their driving to Minneapolis and taking the train from there in the morn ing, had lain in wait for the carriage between St. Paul and Midway. How ever, a more fortunate party, having discovered the correct plans, say that the young couple enjoyed every atten tion at the station and their baggage was nicely placarded with white ribbon before the train bore them away. The wedding trip will be to Duluth then to Toronto, to Montreal, to Boston and other Eastern points and home. Mr. and Mrs. Braden will reside at 486 Marshall avenue.
