a
voted together two years ago Nelson
would have been defeated in the coun
ty. There are no factions in either
Democratic or Populist ranks this year.
There is much enthusiasm manifested
In the entire ticket, and a tremendous
amount of quiet work being done. It
is a known fact that the Populists have
gained in numbers in the past two
years; it is claimed that 10 per cent of
the Republican vote will vote for free
silver; the loss to the ticket of sound
money Democrats is placed at only 5
per cent. Organized labor and espec- i
ially unorganized and unemployed
labor, is claimed to be 75 per cent free
Bilver. It is upon these general prem
ises the county is claimed for Bryan
and Lind.
The vote for and against Nelson for
governor two years ago was as fol
lows, omitting 251 votes cast for the
Prohibition candidate:
For. Against
First ward 1.911 1.295
Second ward 1,274 1,302
Third ward 765 738
Fourth ward 1,249 1,401
Fifth ward 1.007 1,681
Blxth ward 1.036 1.492
Seventh ward 1.736 596
Eighth ward 1.666 2,595
Ninth ward 1.113 1,460
Tenth ward 428 347
Eleventh ward 382 265
Country 710 720
Totals 13.277 13.997
This table shows that Nelson lacked '
only 610 votes of the combined total of j
his opponents. In the spring of 1896, \
the city tvave the Republican caoidi- ;
date for mayor 3,705 more votes than
his opponent. That this increased Re
publican vote was due to special j
causes, was shown in the fact that the
Republican city treasurer, in the same
campaign, bad but 67:'. votes more than
the Democratic candidate. In 1834 there
were -5.746 votes cast in the city; last
spririfc. but 23,463, clt-arly indicating
that Democratic defeat was largely due
to defection in party ranks and a large
Btay-at-bome vote. It was the wards
that were strongest for the Republi
cars in '94. that showed the least de- j
f< ction in '06, while the Democratic j
v< to fell off heaviest in Democratic I
wards. This year the registration bids j
fair to exceed that 6t 189-4, when 30.200 i
n-ames wt re placed on the lists. About j
96 per cent of the registration voted.
The same per centage of the total,
about r>o.ooo. Taking the increased regi- j
stiation into consideration, will cast a |
ballot this year. Under ordinary con- |
ditions, the increased vote — as indicated
also, by the registration in strong Dem
ocratic wards, will be cast in favor of j
Democratic candidates.
The claims of the partisans are wide- i
ly divergent, and indicates pretty clear- |
ly a lack of knowledge concerning the
true condition of affairs in the county,
or one of the two is playing a big game
of bluff. Here's the way the conser
vative Republicans size up the result,
the figures being majorities:
McKinley. Bryan
First ward 1,500
Second ward 300
Third ward 300
Fourth ward 350
Fifth ward 200

Ninth ward 300
Tenth ward 250
Eleventh ward 200

It is admitted that Lind will lead his
party In Ramsey county. The Repub
licans admit this and to prevent the
Qefeat of their candidate for governor
are having printed an immense amount
of literature attacking Lind to be cir
culated throughout the state, and par
ticularly in the strong Scandinavian
wards of St. Paul, during the last week
ctf the campaign. Further. It is admit
fed that McKinley must carry the state
by from 15,000 to 20,000. to pull dough
through the contest. Lind will, -in all
probability, have double the vote in
Ramsey that Bryan will receive. Lind
will have the advantage of a personal
contact with voters In the county dur-
The Pioneer Press in an article
printed Wednesday admitted that the
result in Ramsey is doubtful. The
, language of the article is as follows:
"The Republican county committee
seems to have every reason to hope
for success. * * ♦ Realizing, however,
that the fuslonists are making a des
perate effort • • • the Republican
county campaign managers are mak
ing a vigorous fight." This is not the
language of the political bosses who
ore claiming that all the sound money
Democrats, and all the Germans and
the Poles and Bohemians and Swedes
will vote the Republican ticket
Straight.
There are few Democrats who will
claim the election of Clark for con
gress Yet at state and county head
quarters, without giving figures, the
campaiern managers say they will win
—that Bryan and free silver will pull
the Populist congressional candidate
through. The claim is borne of hope
rather than belief. A Democrat, hav
ing the confidence and good will of
Democrats of St. Paul, would have
been a more likely candidate for the
reason that he would have received
many Republican votes. Stevens, the
Republican candidate. Is not strong
with his party, yet there Is every rea
son to believe he will be elected, as
many Democrats will not vote for
Clarke. His refusal to withdraw, that
a strong Democrat might be named,
will be resented.
On countr officers the Democrats
stand an excellent show of winning.
The prediction Is here made that the
returns will show that many McKinley
ltes will vote for local Democrats.
The gold Democrats, with few excep
tions, will vote for the county ticket.
Many silver Republicans will swallow
the Bryan slate in its entirety. The
Scandinavian vote, attracted by Lind,
will not forget Nilsson for auditor and
Ms fellow candidates. The Germans,
always an uncertain factor, have de
clared against the Republican county
ticket. The treatment of Col. Kiefer,
who was denied a renomination for
congress, will be resented. The organ
of the Germans has set the pace for its
•readers by bolting a part of the Re
pubHcan- WcJftty-ticket. The Irish vote
is largely for Bryan. The only ele
ment of discord is the handful of in
dependent Democrats, who claim they
•will poll 800 votes. The fusionists" con
cede them half that number.

FIELD LOOKS BRIGHT
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
STANDS TO WIN IN THIS
FIGHT.
CHAPEL IS A HEAVY LOAD.
CANNOT BE ELECTED HIMSELF
AND WEAKENS THE WHOLE
COUNTY TICKET,
PLANS FOR THE COMTNG WEEK.
In the National Campaign Both
Sides Will Have Some of Their
neat Orator*.
The Republicans are getting uneasy
about their county candidates. At first,
j some weeks ago they thought the land-
I slide for McKinley would be so strong
' that the county office seekers would
slide In on the top of the heap. But
recent developments of the campaign
have convinced the Republican bosses
that if they are to win anything they
must work for it. Their boast of a
clean sweep has changed to a claim for
; some of the most important offices.
Chapel, for sheriff, they know Is so
nearly beaten now that only the most
diligent effort and unprecedented good
i luck will save him. The German vote
! is lost to Chapel as well as the support
j of many who were his friends before
; the, convention. It was the manner in
| which Chapel got his nomination that
i is offensive to some of the disappoint-*
jed candidates for the same office. The/
efforts of the Republicans to discredit
the candidacy of John Wagener by
I printing stories calculated to make him
enemies in the camp of his friends,
will be met in a manner not anticipated
j by the Chapelites. E. L. Mabon, J. W.
Pinch and some others, all good Repub
| licans, have taken a hand in the pro
] ceedings and there may be some dis
closures relative to the nomination of
Chapel.
* • •
Stan Donnelly's friends are malting
a hot fight on his behalf. Between
Donnelly and S. A. Anderson there can
be no choice, if fitness for the office of
county attorney is considered in the
selection. Some of the leading Re
publican attorneys of the city are sup
porting Donnelly, who has had the ben
efit of training for the office under the
present incumbent. Pierce Butler. Mr.
Anderson has been at the bar long
enough to have won a good reputation,
but there is objection to him because
he was the candidate ©r the machine
which named Chapel for a third term
and turned down some other candidates
for office. These attorneys, mentioned
have offered to make a personal cam
paign on' behalf of Donnelly. There are
also some dissatisfied Republicans who
accuse Anderson of treachery In the
county convention. It was understood
that Mabon and Anderson were to have
delegates that were friendly to each of
those gentlemen. Mabon fulfilled hla
part of the programme, but .Anderson
couldn't or wouldn't swing his men for
Mabon. So there are two of the Repub
lican candidates who are lacking many
party friends. Chapel's case is the
more aggravated, however, as he has
lost every German vote in the city ex
cept those of his German deputies.
The Democrats think It will be an easy
task to defeat Anderson, but they do
not anticipate such an easy time with
Chapel. The latter has a barrel of
money and thirty deputies. He will
not He down without making a desper
ate struggle.
Dr. Whitcomb and Dr. Nelson are
I waging a' lively battle for honors in the
contest for the office of 'coroner. Both
are making a personal campaign. Whit
comb has the advantage in a certain
way, and yet 4\e is handicapped with
| a third term nomination. -But he has
made such a superior officer, is per
sonally so popular with members of
the medical profession as well as with
the public, that he is easily picked
out as the winner.
Judge Willrich has made a discovery.
It is not a pleasant one and he did not
go about looking for the facts that have
been brought to his attention. Judge
Willrich has enjoyed a term on the pro
bate bench and wants another. He
secured the Republican nomination
without opposition. He was, It was
argued, so strong with the Germans,
that he would add strength to the re
mainder of the county ticket. But
Judge Willrich has learned that he is
not the popular choice of the Germans
of the city. It has been demonstrated
that there are others who are quite as
popular. He has also learned that the
French vote, will go entirely against
Mm. Some one has told him that even
the Irish are disposed to regard his
candidacy with disfavor, and the Scan
dinavian vote, too, has shifted from
the attitude of two years ago. All these
things have been brought to Judge Will
rich within the past week. When told
that he would better be looking after
his fences he laughed his Republican
counselors to scorn. But to please
his friends, he started dowr. the line
to show how strong he was.
The first man he encountered was
a German. It gave the Judge an awful
shock to learn that his German friend
was going to vote for Frank Robert.
Before he had gone far. Judge Will- I
rich discovered he would have to do j
something to counteract the evil in- :
fluence that Robert and his friends had j
spread about. He told everyone he met j
that Robert was no better than a clerk, '
that he was not qualified for the office, |
that he was not a German, and he is a j
free silver man. But for some reason '■
these arguments made little impression, j
After a few hours, Judge Willrich was ■
forced to acknowledge that his Re- i
publican friends were right and he
Baade preparations for an active per- \
sonal canvass. Now he is handing out
lithographed cards with a pretty pho- ■
tograph of himself printed thereon.
All the while the Democratic candl- I
date is sawing wood most industrious- ,
ly. Frank Robert knows everybody,
md nearly everybody knows him. He !
was in the office of probate judge for !
so many years that he is not only com
petent, but is admirably qualified for '
the office. He will not get as many
German votes as John Wagener. but
he will receive so many from Judge !
Willrich's fellow country men that j
the pompadour of the latter will be more
pi enounced than ever when the votes
are counted. Robert is one of the
Junior Pioneers of St. Paul, in fact
j elected president of the association last
I week, and has a wide acquaintance
I that will stand by him regardless of
] party or nationality. He will get all
i of the fusion votes and a good portion.
iof the German Republican support. It
;is freely predicted that Robert will
j run second on the county ticket
* * *
Thomas Manning for register of deeds i
I is making a quiet but successful can- i
I vass. There is no doubt he will be one
of the successful Democratic candi-
I dates. He is so well qualified for the
office that many Republicans have as
sured him of their support. Manning
is a man of property and knows what
the interests of the property owners
are. He Is a safe man for the office,
j and for that reason will be supported
i by many outside his party.
* « *
J. August Nilsson will havo a hard
I nsht. He has a large personal follow-
THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE- SUNDAY\ OCTOBER 18, 1896.
Ing, but It is doubtful If the present
city treasurer can be dislodged this
year unless there should bp a land
slide and all the Republicans kicked
out. But there's no telling what may
happen between now and Nov. 3.
Nilsson Is making a good canvass an*
will not quit until the last gun Is fired.

The Prehibition state central commit
tee has issued an appeal stating that
prohibition is still the most impor
tant financial question before the peo
ple. It is asserted that if the money
annually wasted in drink was turned
into the channels of trade, good times
would follow under a high tariff or
a low tariff, or under a single standard
or a double standard. The document,
which is signed by Chairman Geo. W.
Higgins and Secretary Geo. F. Wells,
concludes as follows:
Whichever of the two great parties wins
this year, millions of voters are certain to
be again disappointed in the practical results
of the dicislou. Conscience Is entering into
politics. It is coming to be recognized that
self-interest is also on our side. It is a
cause for congratulation that at every elec
tion the vote of the national Prohibition
party has been larger that at the preceding
election. There is good reason for believing
that this growth will continue this year.
Our appeal, however, is not to .those whose
chief delight is in jumping on a band wagon.
We rely rather on patriots who know what
the nation needs and are willing to use their
ballots to help bring it about.

ing warm weather and dull trade
and hard times and reductions of
two-montlis-old garments, we are
selling New Jackets at the lowest
prices in town. Selling them,
mind you, not only talking about
them and trying to sell. Could
we do this if our prices were not
the lowest? Certainly not. The

other stores.

ST. PAUL.
ft/ |m n/j W fl
Pupils of Public Schools,
students from Seminaries,
friends of Charitable Institu
tions, left many and many h
Candy Vote
yesterday (at the Candy De
partment) naming the School
or Charity they thought most
deserving the award of the
MAGNIFICENT PIANO
that is now on exhibition in
the center of the
Candy Departm't.
The instrument, manufac
tured by the J. G. Earhuff
Company, of St Paul, is a
Home Product,
and is in every respect the
highest of high-grade Pianos.
It is known as Style A. j%
octaves. The "action" con
tains all the latest improve
ments. Hammers and ivory
keys of the first quality; three
pedals with patent muffler;
double veneered cases; con
tinuous hinges; patent rolling
fall board; continuous music
desk. It is, in fact, in the front
rank of first-class Pianos, and
if it bore the name plate of a
better known and distin
guished Piano builder, its
selling price would be $800. 00,
and no lack of. music-loving
buyers.
In short, it is not possible
for skilled artisans to con
struct from wood and metal a
Piano that reaches (irrespect
ive of price) a higher degree
of perfection.
The Earhuff Piano Company
stands behind these claims
with their guarantee for six
years.
The right to vote is given
to every purchaser of 25 cents
worth of
CANDY
At the Yerxa Candy Depart
ment
There is no restriction as to
choice of Candies. The 25
cents worth may be Plain, or
Mixed, or Fancy Candies.
The Candies (like the Piano)
are of home manufacture, are
at the pinnacle of quality
perfection; and (again like the
Piano) are sold at one-half the
price of some loudly adver
tised Confectionery, because
there is no charge for the
name.
