GO ON BY PETITIONS
COIXTV DEMOCRAT'S, THE COUN
TY ATTORNEY HOLDS, HAVE
LOST TIII.IH IDBMTITV
HOW HE HAS FIGURED IT OUT
Melther tin* Democrmtto Nor Peo
ple* Party Conventions Was
Blade Up of Delegate* Represent
ing Any Political Party That
Polled One Per Cent of the Vote
< nst at the !.«•>■ t ..eneral Election.
County Attorney Anderson rendered
fcis ungrateful party one last service
jres terday ln declaring, in an opinion
furnished County Auditor Sullivan re
garding the preparation of the county
ts, that the Democratic nominees
■wviv not entitled to a place on the
ticket except by petitions of nomina
tion. He bases his opinion upon the
ground that the Democratic and Peo
ple's party conventions were not made
up of deli -' tea representing any po
litical party that polled one per cent
of the v^te at the last general elec
holding that the fusion of the
irties loses each its iden
tity.
In view of the opinion, the Demo
cratio nominees must now get on the
ticket by petition, or recourse must be
h&d to mandamus proceedings to com
pel the county auditor to place their
names upon the ballot. Following ia
the opinion of the county attorney in
reply to the question of the county
auditor:
I . v ,;*.ve the honor to advise you, in response
to your request for an opinion aa to the ord.r
la which the names of candidates shall appear
on the county ticket, that the law provides
that the tickets to be printed under your di
all be prepared as near as may be
substantially in the same manner as provided
for t!. llot, and that the i.auies shall
be arrangtd in th.* same order as on the
Kate ballot, regardless of the vote polled in
an j particular county.
This would bo plain and easy to follow, did
the state and count} tickets correspond as to
parties. But the state ballot has no
ratic or the People's
pariy, but Is the same as it was at the last
fction, that I*. there is fusion of the
wo parties. Whereas no fusion exists ln this
couuty. The candidates are of e?.ch distinct
party. Hence you are confronted with this
Question, have those candidates been placed
in nomination by assemblies or conventions
of delegat s, constituting organized assem
- of deli gates representing political par
whicb Ht * * ~ neral election pol ed
at least one per cent oi the entire vote cast iv
this county? The law provides that in order
to ascertain the vote, you shall take the av
-* for suoh candidates of the
party as were not indorsed by au other
party. In this county two years ago t'.u-re
"Was iiot one n^an on either the Democratic
or Populist ticket not indorsed by any other
party. Hence no such average can bo aacer-
I am Informed that the attorney gen
eral has held that the two parties should be
treated in making up the state ballot, as a
single entity, that is, as ono party. That
a I shall fellow, as to any candidates
*•: have been placed ln nomination by both
parJea for the same place, and under like
circumstances. Hut assuming, that position
to be the correct one, you will see that that
"entity" cr party has no county ticket in
thi*> county, except as to a very few, and
that this conclusion must logically follow,
that the county candidate" on both the Demo
crat* • and People's party tickets are not nomi
nated by such conventions a-* to warrant
their names to be printed on the official bal
lot. They must bo nominated by petition.
Hence you arc advised that ln making up
the ballot, you shot) ld place the names on
the ballots of candidates nominated by dele
acting pursuant to the statute and rep
ting political parlies, which, according
to the rules referred to cast "the requisite
number of votes, and then the names of the
I 4 .ates nominated by petition in the order
of the filing of their certificates.
I have rendered you this opinion promptly
t>y your request, so as to enable interested
persons to take such action as to them may
Seem proper and before the time for filing
certificates has expired.
Among* the Democrats the opinion
wis discounted. It had been antici
pated that some such move would be
male before the ballot was made up,
but as the announcement only took
the form of a pronouncement by Coun
ty Attorney Anderson no one paid any
attention to it yesterday. Even in Re
publican circles no particular jubila
tion was indulged, for the Republicans,
Quite as much as everybody else, are
tJised to opinions by Mr. Anderson that
ti not go far. Mr. Sullivan has not
yet acted officially in the matter and
his aotion will be awaited.

seven men, Including the candidates, in
the hall.
The center of the stage was occupied
by Edmund S. Durment and a table
with a pitcher of ioe water. A hot
stove would have been appreciated.
Seated around the stage ln a semi-cir
cle were the candidates whose elo
quence was to thrill the audience. It
looked like a minstrel show. Reference
to a printed programme showed that
seventeen speakers were down for ten
minute talks. That meant 170 minutes
of oratory, and the audience settled it
self down in its seats with looks of pa
tient resignation. Some of the old
timers slunk down into their overcoats
and went to sleep.
... P. Wade sat near the door and
kept his eye on a delegation of his
brethren on side seats, giving them the
cue when to applaud and when to
laugh.
The band played something, and then
j Mr. Durment spoke of the purity of the
! Republican party, which he said was
! the only one fit to govern the country.
j He declared that there was a nominal
1 Republican majority in Ramsey coun
ty, and predicted success for the Re
; publican ticket. He introduced Con
i gressman Stevens with an admonition
to stop talking at the expiration of ten
I niir.-utes, but the congressman did not
\ hted it.
Congressman Stevens said the Re-
publican party contained all the purity
of the country and the Democratic
party all the badness of the country,
; and he distorted history to prove his
assertion.
Henry Johns, candidate for the legis
j Laturwe in the Thirty-eighth district,
j amused the audience with a few jokes,
I and then a large portion of the audl
■ ence rose and departed.
The band played again to keep up
the courage of the remainder of the
audience, but it was too much for the
candidates, several of whom followed
their friends in the body of the hall.
I Then William R. Johnson told how
j good a county auditor he would make
j If elected, and Edward G. Krahmer,
who wants another term of register of
j deeds, explained why he ought to be
| elected. E. A. Jaggard, candidate for
district Judge; E. W. Bazille, candidate
for probate judge, and E. B. Lott, can
didate for county commissioner, played
solos on the same harp. Judge Will
rich, who wants to be district judge,
said a few words, thanking the Repub
lican party for nominating him, and
expressing the hope that the party
would be rewarded for it next month,
j and then George Irish, candidate for
sheriff, explained why. he cannot de
liver a speech. He is more skillful de
livering votes.
J. F. George, candidate for the legis
lature in the Thirty-fourth district,
made a few remarks, and then Horace
Rigelow, candidate for county attor
ney, the man who "would vote for a
yellow dog" if it was a Republican, de
clared that the taxes of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company had been in
creased under Republican administra
tions, and that criticisms of the state
board of equalization were highly im
proper.
It was past 11 o'clock when the rem
nants of the audience were dismissed.
To unprejudiced observers the meeting
was a lamentable fizzle. The brass
bands had been around town all the
day drumming* up a crowd, and the re
suits of all their blowing were most dis
couraging.

CAMPAIGN GOSSIP.
MT. P. Flt. K erald Turns Down a Pro-
test Prom the Plrst Ward.
There is a revolt again: _t T. D. Shee
han in the First ward among the
Swedes. It took concrete form yester
day when a delegation of leaders of
that nationality made formal dema-nd
that Sheehan be omitted from the
speakers at a Swedish Republican
meeting that has been arranged for to
morrow night at SJoberg's hall. The
delegation gave it out flat that they
didn't think it would do the party any
good to have Sheehan on the list of
speakers at the meeting, and that Shee
han would create even more antagon
ism than is now fixed against it if he
appeared.
It seems that the demand created
something of a row. Harry Sundberg
was at the head of the delegation that
went to Republican county head
quarters and demanded that Sheehan
be taken off the list of speakers. He
explained how it was that they would
have nothing to do with Sheehan. The
bills for the meeting were already out
and he said that the Swedish Repub
licans would not stand for it, and the
dodgers must not be circulated. He
was turned down at the instigation of
If. W. Fitzgerald. The latter is the
chairman of the Republican committee
on speakers, and his dusky locks turn
ed a deep carmine as he listened to the
proposition. He told the delegation a
few things, most of which had to do
with the fact that Sheehan was the
only Irish-American on the ticket, and
he was the only representative of that
nationality an the committee, and he
would be so and so and so and so if
he would tolerate any attempt to turn
Sheehan down. They would have Shee
han In the First, and they would have
him everywhere else, if he, Fitzgerald
had anything to do with the campaign'
Apparently Sundberg and his delega
tion had to be •satisfied with that way
of putting It, for the bills for the meet
ing were sent out in great numbers
and Sheehan Is honored by the desig
nation of "Hon.," while the rest of the
speakers have to get along without any
handle to their names.

Former Gov. McGill and his running
mate, Walter Boyd, bailiff in a justice
court in the western portion of the

best methods of seizing furniture in
chattel foreclosures, amd the former
governor will tell some things about
that particular convention of the G. O.

Policeman Parrish who, by a little
political fiction that is now permitted,
is supposed to be a bailiff in the police
court, has gone into a deal with W.
L. Ames that would be satisfactory to
the two of them if it could be made to
win. They have engaged to carry the
Second ward for Billy Johnson wltn
the understanding that if Johnson 1^
elected Parrish is to be the chier
deputy in the auditor's office, while
Ames is to be assessor. The Ames af
fair was settled before the convention,
but he found he could do nothing in
the Second without Parrish. and the
latter had to be taken in. His duties
in connection with the police force do
not interfere with Parrish acting aa
a committeeman and putting all of his
time in in the Second.

George F. Umland was born Oct. 1, 1563, ln
the then Kingdom of Hanover, Germany. He
received a common school education and pri
vate instruction, and taught school until the
close of the Franco-Prussian war, when ha
came to this country, in 1871. He followed the
seafaring business for two years, from New
York, and came to St. Paul in September, 1873.
He was for a time engaged ln German news
paper work ajid later in the wholesale liquor
j the shorter the campaign the more ef
fective. While the Republican candi
dates, who are running independent of
their ticket, are giving beer feasts al
ready, the regular Republican campaign
work will not open until about the time
of the opening of the Democratic bat
teries. There is already a great deal
of literature going out, and this will be
followed by the speakers in a manner
that will press home the arguments
that are made.
• * •
This condition of affairs is not satis
factory to the grafters, who had such a
good thing In the Republican campaign
last spring. The officers of the county
Republican committee have been oblig
ed to devise ways and means of getting
in and out of their offices without going
through the principal room, where the
lrafers congregate. There is plenty of
open kicking amongst them, except in
the Third and Ninth wards, where in
dividual candidates are taking care of
their own. The Fourth and Fifth ward
"grafting" organizations are practlcally
starving to death and are making life a
burden to Horace Bigelow, who was
touted as a good thing, who would give
up liberally. That was before the con
vention, but Horace has frozen up for
the present, and will not give up until
he has felt the situation out. He feels
that he is probably going to throw
away some good money, for he appre
ciates the fact that his election is a re
mote prospect, and he is pretty wise
for such a very ynung man. He went
through one campaign, and his system
of dodging is to keep away from head
quarters and do his work from house
to house, avoiding, of course, the money
and beer seekers.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
Safe p.nd Effective In Every Form of
This Coin in ou and Annoying;
Disease.
Many people suffer from piles, be
cause, after trying the many lotions,
salves and ointments witnout relief or
cure, have come to the conclusion that
a surgical operation is the only thing
left to try, and rather than submif to
the shock and risk to life of an opera
tion, prefer to suffer on. Fortunately
this is no longer necessary, the Pyra
mid Pile Cure, a new preparation, cures
every form of plies, without pain, in
convenience or detention from business.
It is ln the form of suppositories, eas
ily applied, absolutely free from opium,
cocaine, or any injurious substance
whatever, and, no matter how severe
the pain, gives instant relief, not by
deadening the nerves of the parts, but
rather by its healing, soothing effect
upon the congested membranes.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
effective, the safest and most extensive
ly sold of any Pile Cure that has ever
been placed before the public, and this
reputation has been secured by reason
of its extraordinary merit and the rea
sonable price at which it is sold, all
druggists selling it at 50 cents and $1
per package, and in many cases a sin
gle package has been sufficient.
A person takes serious chances in
neglecting a simple case of piles as the
trouble soon becomes deep seated and
chronic, and very frequently develops
into fatal incurable rectal diseases, like
fistula and rectal ulcers.
Any druggist will tell you the Pyra
mid Is the safest, most satisfactory pile
cure made.
The Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich.,
will send to any address a treatise on
cause and cure of piles, also book of
testimonials.

FIGHTING THE SCALPERS.
Local Passenger Men Anxious to
Have the Lntrs Enforced.
Local passenger agents are watching with
great curiosity the efiorts of Chicago and
Pittsburg to abolish the scalper. If the move
ment in these cities is successful measures
may be taken here to have the law against
scalpers enforced.
The mileage took is alleged to be the main
stay of the scalper in this section. If some
thing that could not be sold by the holders
could be substituted for the mileage bjok it
is said there would be no more scalpers out
side of the Chippewa reservation. P.uggc-d
and forged tickets are openly sold on Third
street, but so skillful ty is the trickery dons
thaf conductors tire unable to detect the swin
dle until they examine the tickets closely.
Even then the passenger cannot be punished,
nor can the scalper guiity of the deception un
less he confesses. Tickets are not like nrjney;
a person who utters a false ticket cannot be
reached by law. and if the scalper swears that
he bought the ticket as he sold lt he can
not be punished, either.
There are laws on the Minnesota statute
books, which, If they were enforced, would
send every scalper to jail, but the' law is
violated with impunity. The scalpers have
learned that they will not be prosecuted.
There are similar laws in Canada, but there
Is a difference In that they are executed.
Anyone caught selling tickets without a
license from a railway company In Canada, is
promptly arrested, fined or Imprison Tat
There is no appeal from the decision of the
trial court, and the consequence is, that ln
the whole length and breadth of the Canadian
dominions there is not one railway ticket
scalper.
The Canadian Pacific at one time issued
tickets from Toronto to Manitoba points, with
a counon attached, which entitled the original
purchaser, after thirty days' stay in Mani
toba, to a return ticket to Toronto at half
fare. A man one day presented a coupon at
the offlce of the Canadian Pacific in Winnipeg
with a request for a halt-rate ticket to To
ronto. Ke claimed to be the original pur
chaser of the ticket, but the agent was sus
picious. The man, however, answered all
questions put to him bo readily that everyth ng
appeared all right, and he was given the ticket
he desired. After he had left Winnipeg an
Investigation was started and the original pur
chaser of the ticket was found ln Winnipeg.
The "agent immediately telegraphed t^e cir
cumstances to the offlce in Toronto, arid the
agent there swore out a warrant for the
fraudulent holder cf the return ticket. As
soon as the latter landed in Toronto he waa
arrested and taken to court, where he was
fined the usual cum, and ln addition a sum
equal to the full fare from Winnipeg to To
ronto, the expenses of his arrest. In all he
had to pay $80 to get out of his trouble. Since
then no one has attempted to swindle a rail
way ln Canada.
"A scalper," said a well known railroad
man yesterday, "is no better than a fence,
and he should be treated as one. He conducts
an unlawful traffic and there is no reason,
unless it be political, why the state authori
ties should not root the scalpers out of the
state."
CANADIAN PACIFIC CASE..
Arguments in- the Arbitration of
Differential Differences On.
CHICAGO. Oct. 12.— The first formal meet
ing of the board of arbitration, recently named
to decide the difficulties over differentials on
freight rates between the Canadian Pacific
Railway company and the American Western
lines, was held at the Auditorium today. The
proceedings were conducted behind" closed
doors and all but representatives of the Inter
ested railroad companies were excluded. The
Canadian Pacific was represented by Robert
Kerr and G. M. Bosworth, two of the com
pany's traffic managers. J. c. Stubba, vice
president of the Southern Pacific railroad,
and Paul Morton, vice president of the Santa
Fe railway, represented the American lines.
It waa understood no evidence would be takes
bearing on the dispute; that the proceedings
would be conflned to arguments by the repre
sentatives of the Canadian Pacific and Amer
ican lines.
Judge Day waa appointed president of the
board. According to agreement, the Canadian
Pacific's side of the case was first presented.
The session was taken up by the spe.ch of
Robert Kerr, who endeavored to Justify the
•position of the Canadian Paoiflo company
"With regard to differentials. He contended
that the Canadian Pacific still labored under
■erious physical disabilities and declared lt
would be unfair to the company to compete
on even terms with the American lines. He
denied that there had been a disposition on
the part of his company to violate the laws
of tho United States. He argued that tho
Canadian Pacific was still entitled to a differ
ential rate, and denied that the American
lines had lost freight on account of the
cheaper rates.
Freight Traffic Manager Bosworth will fol
low tomorrow, in behalf of the Canadian Pa
cific, after which Vice President Stubbi, of
•Che Southern Pacific, will present the Amer
ican side.
Chicago railroad officials express themselves
as confident the board of arbitration will re
turn a verdict in favor of the American lines,
the question at issue being, they asj.-rt,
similar in nature to that which involved the
consideration of passenger rates, and which
the Intersta-to commerce commission decided
in f*.lor of the Western roads.
NEW PACIFIC OCEAN LINE.
Report That One Will De Organised
ln a Short Time.
President Hill, of the Great Northern, Is
Bald to be Interested ln a new steamship line
which Is to ply between Seattle, Vladivostok,
Hong Kong and Manila. Frank Waterhouse
and E. W. McGinnls, of Seattle, are said to
have Mr. Hill's indorsement of euch a line,
with an understanding that it shall have
a direct connection with the Great Northern
railway.
There has been a falling out between the
Great Northern railway and the Seattle-Hono
lulu Steamship company, because the latter
has repudiated its agreement with the rail
way con-many to advertise itself as a con
nection or the Great Northern. This action
was precipitated by Internal troubles in the
steamship company resulting in the retire
ment of Col. Colegrave. Mr. Hill desires
to have a Pacific steamship line and he
realizes that if Manila is to be an American
port a line of American steamers there will
be desirable and ln harmony with his policy.
On this account he is said to favor the
establishing of a new line, which may be of
direct benefit to his railway.
Washington flour and lumber is ln demand
in Siberia, as well as in Yokohama and
Hong Kong, and if the new line is started
it is certain of a large volume of business
in those exports. Seattle business men are
anxious that such a line should be estab
lished from that city, for they believe their
interests will be greatly improved by lt.
OMAHA'S BIG WEEK.
Reports Indicate That a Great Many
Are Attending the Exposition!.
There was fear among the Omaha railway
officials yesterday that the rainy weather
would seriously interfere with President's
day at Omaha. But a telegram was received
from that city early in the afternoon stating
that the weather there wa3 Eood, though a
high westerly wind was blowing.
The Omaha line has carried many hun
dreds of passengers to the exposition this
week from the Twin Cities. The night trains
have been sent out in two sections on ac
count of the heavy travel. This will be the
banner week of the exposition, so far as at
tendance Is concerned.
REQUESTS FOR DEPOTS.
People Seem to Think Mr. Hill Has a
Supply.
Since lt became known that President Hill,
of the Great Northern, was actively inter
ested In the management of the Baltimore &
Ohio a number of requests have been sent
to him from cities and towns on the latter
road asking ror Improved depot and freight
ace. nmoditttons.
It seem* to be the impression along that line
that Mr. Hill has a stock of depots on hand
which he caa distribute at will to thos. who
need them.
