That credit to the police force, Joe Davis, of the Fifth ward, spent Sunday in a most _ hie occupation: Passing out copies of lous political paper containing attacks on Dr. jvhiifm.nn and the other members of one of the old school boards. As Davis is still a member of the police force some of the captious ones might complain that he was Illy employed distr.buting libelous mat ter about the man who will be at the head of the police as well as the otlier city depart ments after the first of the coming month. The Dispatch says that Kaldunski has not ehied at a bicycle for over a year. But that Is not the best kind of evidence. The talk about the Democrat-Citizens' cam paign having been made with thousands of kcers of b' >r is of a piece w th the campaign that preceded it. It has been harped on for the last few days by the Rej üblican evening orpran to such an extent that it has h. come nauseating. No one is likely to as sociate Dr. Schiffmann or the gentlemon who are running with him as the sort of men likely to do anything in politics that they wouid not do n prhate life. The libel is no more worth refuting than any of the oth er scurrilous stuff that has emanated from :ne source. Larsen, wouid you mind picking out a sift spot to fail?

Tho Republican campaign against Schiff mann has been made on buttons, beer and bicycles. First he was charged with a lack of local patriotism because, not knowing that buttons could be had in St. Paul Dr. Schiffmann's managers se.t out of town for them. Then it was stated that he was not ln sympathy with bicyclists and bicycling •and now he Is accused of having deluged this town with beer. In view of the high pet. Seventh and Cedar Sts. 2 el. .3'J.

The fact is, that he is so far desirous of not doing anything in the campaign that might be a reflection on him afterwards that he has deliberately opposed having anything said or done for him that would' be in the nature of a personal attack on his opponents. He goes on the assumption that he will only be mayor for a couple of years in any event, and. that he will live in St. Paul all his life. He will not do that to get himself elected to offlce that might put him on disagreeable terms with his fellow citizens. This is a state of mind that cannot be appreciated by the professional office-seeker, who justifies all things tn a campaign, ir Dr. Schiffmann had not felt so strongly in this matter there might have been a very different campaign made, considering the vul nerability of the people in the lead of the .opposition. The doctor has done nothing in this cam paign that he is ever likely to regret, as a man or as a citizen of St. Paul. He has not countenanced drunkenness and has mortally offended the ward heelers and grafters who have tried to work him, and he is one of the few men who have run for the offlce of mayor ln this town who has kept well within the legal limits of the ex penditures permitted a candidate. Remember, that it is no use to elect a mayor without electing a city council that is in sympathy with him. Vote the ticket straight. You could not possibly find better men for the places than those named on tho Democrat-Citizens' ticket. In, voting for assemblymen, after you have voted for the seven Democrat-Citizens that are together, run your eye down the line until you see the names of Nash and Enoch Johnson. Don't forget Uiat they belong to the ticket. What is the use of electing to offlce a man who has taken over a hundred thousand dol lars out of the public purse and .till is of so little use In the community that he has a residence only where he happens to hang his hat, and whose home is in a folding 1 bed in a corner of his office? Kiefer has no more to do with the social life of this community that he had to do with Washington when he lost himself in the basement of the capltol. There was cause for gnashing of teeth In the Ninth Sunday night, for Mr. Larsen had been put "up against" a new game in poli tics. Mr. Larsen goes to a church down on Broadway, and Sunday evening he was laid for by a push of Third ward grafters who met htm on his way and told him that they must have some beer. He was convinced that they belonged in his ward, and he gave them tho price of a K*g or two. They got the beer ar.d took possession of an empty store oppo site the church. When the beer had circu lated a bit they got noisy, and some of them suggested that they cug'.t to m.ka their prom ises to Larsen good by doing a little shout ing for him. They howled for and about Mm with such good will that they disturbed the church meeting that he was at, and while the preaching was going on the congregation vas disturbed by shouts for Larsen. The a'der man stood it as long as he could, and when the eyes of everyone in the church were finally turned upon him he had to get up and go out. And at that he was unable to sup press his friends in the empty store, and had to get them more beer to quiet them. It is rather dirty politics to accuse Ed Mur ray of being in any way responsible for the demonstration that took place at Harbeck's hall Sunday night. Mr. Murphy has at all times besought his friends to keep away from Republican meetings if they didn't want to hear him abused. Democrats are pretty nu merous in the Ninth this spring, and there has not been a meeting at which there have not been seen Democrats present and Demo cratic cheers given. So It was Sunday night. The people in the neighborhood of Harbeck's are for Murphy to a man, and when he was abused they howled the speaker down In asmuch as it was a public meeting and peo ple were gathered to discuss the 'campaign people might easily argue that the major ty of the people in the meeting were justified In shouting for their candidate.

VICTORY FOR SCfliFFlAffl I REPUBLICANS ADMIT HE CAN NOT BE DEFEATED Klefer May Nut Curry a Ward iv tho City Kxctid the Flr.t Thlnca Look Good for Botli the Al<lor:iinnto aud Aftaembly Tteketa of the Dcim>ciat-(IU»i'i:« Will He a Clean Sweep. It Is all over, and all lhat is necessary ; for the Democrat-Citizens of this town I to do this morning is to vote early and I straight. Dr. Schiffmann will be elected. That j Is absolutely certain. Tho Republican city committee ad mitted that it. was not possible that I he could be defeated, last night. They had. done all that could he done | at the last moment by casting an an j ehor to windward by trying to make I people think that Erwin is an issue in I the campaign. He is not, and by no j possibility can he cut any figure, for ! he will only get the disaffected vote ! that went to Doran two years ago. i This may give him a couple of thou sand votes. It is conceded by every one who ' makes any pretense of knowing any j thing about politics that there is not a ' man in the city who voted for Mr. j Cullen who will not vote for Dr. I Schiffmann. There is no possible rea- I son for supposing that one of these Cullen votes will ever go to Erwin, and their going to Klefer Is. out of the I question. The Cullen vote was 9,801), I and that elects, with three candidates In the field, one of whom will get a I couple of thousand. If there has been I any change in the vote, it is In the 1 First ward, where Erwin has gone out j side of the lines laid down for him by his Republican managers and has j gone after votes. He will get a good | deal of the vote in that ward that went I to Doran, and that will, of course, not hurt Schiffmann. Klefer'. Cheap Bid. The Eighth, in which Kiefer tried to do some business by appealing to na tional prejudice, will be in line for Schiffmann. The colonel's cheap bid for the, German vote Is taken as an in | suit by the German leaders, and he will I get. so little of It that his power ln lo cal politics will be practically broken tonight. Sharood was the only member of the Republican city committee who thought that there was any chance of the election of Kiefer. He really thought so, and he won't come out of his trance until tonight. He has been in the First ward during the whole of the campaign, and has not spoken to anybody but those who would vote for the Republican ticket if It were headed by a yellow dog. He is not to be blamed for his Ideas. Beck and the Funds. Horton and Selb expressed them selves, officially, as being convinced that the colonel was all right. Pri vately, they hold other opinions. They had been haunted all day by a lot of grafters, for whom there was nothing, and they were sorer than they have been during the campaign. Beck, the treasurer of the committee, had noth ing to do, for the funds had all been promised to the men who will do the work today. 'iris matter of the vote and the count Is held to be the most Important thing there Is in sight. The Fourth ward has been colonized to some little extent in that portion below Wabasha lUieet, and it behooves the • Miesen pecple to keep an eye on It. It will be very closely watched by the Demo crat-Citizens' challengers, but the par ty labors under a handicap in lacking representation among the judges. Every arrangement has been made for the immediate arrest of anybody who offers to vote and who Is not en titled to. That is all that could be done, and the names of all the sus pects have been gotten together, and arrests will be promptly made, as there are any amount of lawyers, both Re publican and Democrats, who have vol unteered their services to see that the law is enforced. There will be a num ber of lawyers within call of the Demo crat-Citizens' committee all day, and any call for legal advice for the challengers in any of the precincts will be promptly attended to. Not n Precinct for Erwin. There was comparatively little bet ting yesterday. The Republicans de manded odds and were accommodated to some extent. There was some bet ting on the result in wards, and some easy money went on the proposition that Erwin would not carry a precinct in the city. This was regarded as a cinch. There is not the slightest chance for him to carry a precinct. A little Republican money was put on the proposition that Erwin will have 3,000 votes, but it is easy enough money for the negative. In order for the long one to get that many votes it would be necessary for him to get an average of twenty-five votes ln a precinct. As there are fifty precincts in the city where he will not receive a vote, there Is no possibility of him getting the 3,000. Pike's Winning Fight. The only real contest that there is in the city Is for alderman out in the Tenth. Pike will probably be elected. He is quite confident, and Allard lacks the only strength he had two years ago — the Prohibition vote. In the other wards, excepting the First and Seventh, the Democrat-Citizens have a lead-pipe cinch. Majority for Smith. Smith will have a clear majority ln the Second. Terry Kenny has not the least possible show ln the Third. Stern berg has put up a campaign that would credit a run for any office, and he has the business Interests with him to a man. Looks Good for Miesen. In the Fourth, Anton Miesen will get up to Wabasha street with 300 to the good. His majority depends on what the other end of the ward does. Dona hower may carry the other end, but it is very unlikely. Gleason n Winner. The Republican methods have elect ed Gleason in the Fifth. The Seven Corners* druggist who is against him would be a strong enough man outside of the ward, but he will not know that he has been running when only the ward vote Is involved. liner and the Street Railway. The Sixth ward has witnessed a con test on the issues Involved, and Bell has been beaten on his record in the council. The attempt to send the Bell strength to Yould, the Scannellite, has failed utterly, and Baer will, in all probability, have a clear majority. Barton Has a Chauce. Barton has a running chance in the Seventh. Sanborn has the ward tol erably well ln hand, so far as the Re publican organization is concerned, and would have easy running under other circumstances. As it is, he has a strong professional man, against whom there cannot be a word said, running against him, and he will be kept busy. Bant- and Murphy. It Is doubtful whether Murphy will have as big a majority as Bantz, but he possibly will. He will carry the Ninth by from 400 to 500 a certainty. There can nothing stop it and the ef fort to turn the Fitzgerald vote ln to • v sen will only have the effect of splitting it between Mr. Murphy ana Larson. If the campaign had been straight between Mqrphy and Larson he Democrat ie majority would have been In the neighborhood of 700. This is so certain that there are a hundred mon in the ward who would bet their lives ar.d their goods on the result. Kaldunskl will be. beaten by a vote that will redeem the Eighth from the disgrace of being re-resented by Kal dur.skl. The ward is a large one and intelligent. Kq.ldur.skl was elected, by means that need not be discussed, be-' cause he was unknown. The two years of experience that the people have had of him have settled the matter in ad vance. Bantz is., sure of a majority of. say 500. His friends put It higher than that, but it will be that sure. AMnembiymen Are Sate. On the merits of the men alone there can be no ream for doubt on the as sembly ticket. ' I£ Is true that there were men elected two years ago on the Republican ticket who never ought to have been elected on any ticket, but the people are tired of the results of that sort of foolishness and the un knowns who are trying to sneak ln this ytar have no chance. It is simply a business proposition that Is before the people on the two assembly tick ets. Whether they will elect a set of business men or take a lot of incom petents who are not even vouched for by their own party. It Is pretty good business and good politics not to vote for anybody for assemniym.an unless you know your man. Don't take the stamp of political approbation for a recommendation. Twohy and Egan. Judges Twohy and Egan will make the municipal bench without any trouble. Judge Twohy has been In dorsed by all sorts of political clubs, while Judge Egan will be elected if only by the votes of the men who sign ed his petition. It was a remarkable document and contained the names of almost every man in the business dis trict. The rest of the nominees will run along with the ticket safely enough. ROORBACKS ARE DIE. Pay No Attention to Them If You See Them. Look out for thja campaign roorback. It Is hardly necessary) to warn the people, but it is likely to t&ke such a seeming as to claim some sort of recognition. Last night there wa,s a couple of eheet3 whose sponsors would be put in jail at any other season, if they could be found, being circulated on the streets. They contained a rehash of the scurrflo__ : imputations on the school board of ten years ago and are not likely to cut the^ least figure wi'.h thinking people. *» The Republican party organ, which would not be likely to foreg_< any opportunity to make a point by bringing something out that might defeat Dr. Schiffmann immediately ceased the publication of the school board stuff as soon as it was shown by The Globe that the figures that it had published were incorrect. The papers that have been given circulafon are never heard of except when there is some political money in sight and It Is pretty safe for the citizen to assume that what is not printed in 'the way of campaign news by a party newspaper is overlookeo" be cause it is not true. The rcorback that is sprung on election day is not likely to be at all effective, tv: tte people are warned against the possibility of giving ear to anything. This campaign has been very thorough and If there is anything given currency against any of the parties to the election today It will not be by the countenance of the decent members of either party. CLERKS INDORSED NASH. Not aa an Organisation, but a* In dividuals. To The St. Paul Globe: Having noticed an -.Item in last night's Dis patch reflecting on. jbhav candidacy of Louis Nash, an honorary , member of the retail clerk's union of this city, allow me to say that the constitution of the Retail Clerks' National Protective association adfnits of no religious or political action upon the part of the- members thereof. Nevertheless at our last meeting the retail clerks adjourned and endorsed the candidacy of Louis Nash, not as a member of the Retail Clerks' association, but as a man, entitled to the vote of every intelligent citizen, who" placed the interests of St. Paul before the success of any party. Our resolutions were not made public at that time because we did not wish to be classed as a partisan organization, but Inso much as the Dispatch has seen fit to mc_-j campaign timber out of our ommlsslon, allow me to say that the above statements are facts, and. furthermore,. I believe that every retail clerk and merchant ln the city of St. Paul will register his vote in behalf of Louia Nash. I am very respectfully your 3. P. X. Vernlg, President R. C. N. P. A.

If it is carried and should prove imperfect, its defects can be remedied by amendments proposed and ratified by popular vote every two years. If carried it means the end of giving val uable franchises by the city to corporations and private parties.

A rousing meeting of the Afro-American Schlffmann club waa held, at 384 Jackson street last night. .. There were over 100 col ored voters present. Louis de Lyons was the chairman of the meeting, and J. S. Harris acted as secretaryi John Coquire delivered a spirited addresa. He told how the colored peoplo had persist ently voted the Republican ticket and had gotten nothing bu£ abuse in return. J. H. Loomls contrasted Dr. Schiffmann and Col. Klefer so r: far as their attitude to the colored people are concerned. Dr. Schlff mann had recognized the race in the ap pointment of colored teachers in the public schools. On the other hand, Col. Klefer had opposed the appointment of colored men to act as Janitors of the schools because he said It would result in ' harm to the teach ers. Mr. Loomls said' the 'colored people of St. Paul held a mass. meeting eight years ago to protest against Col Klefer'a attitude to them, and thta he was , probably no more friendly to the colored map now than he was at that time. He also called attention to tho fact that Mr. Horst had always refused to lease any of his buildings to a colored man. Wade, the governor's messenger, Dilling ham and Robinson were present, and tried to do some work for Kiefer, but fell down. A call was made for all those present in favor of Kiefer to held up their hands. Three hands went up. Edmund Jackson made one of his characteristic speeches, and the meet ing adjouprned, after Indorsing the entire Democrat-Citizens' ticket.

Murphy and Louln \ a nli Received an Ovutlun — -Erivln'M Midden Puruoue. An enthusiastic wind up to the Democrat-Citizens' campaign in the. Ninth ward took place last evening at Jackson and Sycamore streets, where 300 voters assembled to listen to ad dresses by J. J. McCafferty, Thomas IvJartln, Louis Nash and Edward L. Murphy. Every auditor was for Schlffmann and the ticket he heads, and the men tion of any Democrat-Citizens' candi date's name was the signal for out bursts of commendation. Those present were, for the most part, laboring men, and W. W. Erwin was denounced for his efforts to elect the Republican tick et by assuming the mask of labor's friend, no uncertain doom for the 801 - Scannell Republican candidate in the Ninth ward sounded in the cheering approbation of the sentiment expressed by the speakers. J. J. McCafferty roused the meeting to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. He told of Dr. Schiffmann's honorable career of thirty years ln St. Paul and how he was unanimously chosen by the convention by acclamation, an ac tion unprecedented in the history of local Democracy. "Dr. Schlffmann furnishes a prac tical illustration of what we have been told to expect when the political millenium shall have come," declared Mr. McCafferty, "in that he Is a man sought by the office; not a man seek ing the offlce. He consented to become the candidate of the Democrat-Citizens' party as a matter of duty. He was looking for no offlce. Unlike the Repub lican nominee, he needs no offlce. "Dr. Schiffmann has been a success ful business man and what this city needs is a man of business understand ing and Integrity at Its head. Repub lican Incompetency has already retard ed the development of the city enough a ? d _ U "* an lnsult to the intelligence of the voters to ask the continuance in power of a party which has wrought by its blind partisanship only harm to the municipality. "Dr. Schiffmann has been a whole souled, public spirited citizen among you for thirty years. Never has any public enterprise been without his sup port. In comparison with this record can you recall one single act or deed of 'Col.' Kiefer which has in any way benefited the city, or has he given one moment of his time to furthering the good of the city that he has not re ceived public money for his services?" "Compare the reputation and records of the two men. Do this and there Is no man among you who will hesitate as to which way to vote. You will cast your ballots for the upright, honorable citizen who will give the city a clean business-like administration and not for the professional offlce holder who has taken $108,000 from the people and is now grasping for more." "You bet we will," cried fifty voices, and before Mr. McCafferty could re sume his remarks, the entire audience was on its feet shouting three cheers for Dr. Schiffmann. Mr. McCafferty smiled when he men tioned the name of Edward Murphy for the meeting fairly shook the walls with hurrahs. "That you will elect Mr. Murphy there is no possible doubt," said Mr. McCafferty, "and you could not secure a man as your representative who will better look to the Interests of your ward. Do the same thing for every other candidate on the Democrat-Citi zens' ticket and the entire city will be in the hands of honorable, capable cus todians." Thomas Martin went down the line with W. W. Erwln's candidacy ln the alleged interests of the laboring people, characterized the Bell-Scannell candi date as a Republican accessory, whose only purpose was to defeat the Demo crat-Citizens' candidate, an estimate which was heartily cheered by the rail road men present. Louis Nash was enthusiastically re ceived. He said: We are on the eve of an election which portends much to the future of St. Paul and the welfare of Its Inhabitants. The result of your votes determines tha verdict, whether or not St Paul shall un dergo another two years of "Grlmnlsin" and crime, of open collusion between our police department and the criminal element of the community, and of the mutual co operation of Horst and McCardy tn the d's bursement of our city's funds to unbonded banks, in order to pay political debts.

Free educa tion and industrial pauperism cannot exist slde-by-slde for any great length of time, and the fact that the schools of our city are hampered by Incompetent teachers ow ing to tha Republican policy of starvation wages, is a false economy that will be seri ously felt if longer persisted ln. We believe ln tihe people sharing the bene fits of our progressive civilization, and have adopted a platform In keeping with the de mands of the age, and nominated men who are not afraid to defend the principles enun ciated therein, while the Republicans have drafted a platform absolutely meanlngloss and renominated a set of men ln keeping with the platform, men who have bartered away .your liberties ln the past, and who will do so In the future if, by your votes, you give them the opportunity.

Johnson, who has been Kiefer's per sonal manager during the campaign, said that he thought Klefer would be elected. Ho gave some figures for the faith that is ln him.
