COUNTY LOOKS FINE
DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS PLEASED
WITH THE PRESENT POLIT
ICAL OITLOOK
REPUBLICANS' COARSE WORK
In the Convention Is Tt-llin* on the
Men Who Conspired to Defeat
the Wishes of a Majority of the
Part, YVillrleh Finds His Bow
a Hard One The "Traveling:
Brewery."
The situation in the county at the
end of another week of the campaign
is satisfactory to the Democratic com
mit uv and the men on the Democratic
county ticket. The condition In which
the candidates of the n«w "city hall
gang" find themselves has also had a
depressing influence which is taking
out of the Eustis campaign whatever
of life there was in it. The combine
which was formed in the Republican
convention to degrade the judieia
bench into a political machine is still
on top. "Billy" Johnson and the Irish-
Bigelow-Wmrich tail to the "Billy
Johnson kite floats along serenely in
the ether of local Republican virtue
and respectability. Indeed, "Billy" is
the "whole thing.". He furnishes the
brains; Horace Bigelow furnishes the
ii'oney and the booze, and George Iris'n
introduces into the combination the re
epectttble elements of Republican so
ciety, who sit and watch the bunghole
while the amber tide ebbs and flows.
Horace naturally has been disposed
to insist on his friends getting more
than their share of the stuff. But
"Billy" has his eye on the Eighth
ward, as George has it on the Fourth,
and there are many thirsty souls in
both these bailiwicks. The "portable
brewery" of this combine is according
ly announced as preparing to move
early next week from the Fifth ward
over to the vicinity of elevator B.
■WILLRICH FINDS HARD SLED
DING.
Willrich is having hard tugging to
keep up with his associates of the com
bine. They are getting to look on him
as a Jonah. Jaggard and his friendg
are on the war path. It's a case of
dog eat dog between Jaggard and Will
rich. Percy Godfrey, who Is running
Jaggard's campaign, says he knows
whose dog is going- to be "et," and it
Isn't going to be his. Elmer McDon
ald is another West side statesman
who is taking a very decisive hand in
the business from the outside. When
the "portable brewery" gets around to
the West side with Bigelow and his
Inspiring presence, his opjponent in the
convention, whom "the combine" so
ruthlessly slaughtered, will be ahead
of him. 'And he won't do a thing to
Horace among those who recognize
Louis Pavian as the only true Moses
o: local politics.
The two really lonesome candidates
of the "cannibal convention" are Aro
eln and Krahmer. Arosin thinks hini-
Belf too good to mix with the others
and they think if he is so "stuck up" he
can go it alone. The Kieferverein
treats him quite coldly. There will
Bcon be little else for him to do but
join hands with Jaggard. Arosin may
protect himself against the sell-out
Id the First ward which the Johnson
liish-Bigelow-Willrich "combine" is
preparing for in order to save them
selves from the fatal collapse in that
section of the Republican bs-lloon; but
Krahmer and Jaggard will be compar
at:-;elv helpless. They will have to
figr.- for their very existence if they
are U get ahead of the treacherous
course which "the combine" has map
ped out for themselves.
SEf THEIR MISTAKE.
Everybody has now come to recog
nize the utterly fool character of the
politics which prevented the nomina
tion of Judge Bunn in the Republican
convention. The fall of Babylon won't
t.e in it with the fate of this pot-house
grange who forced partisan judicial nom
inations on the convention through
the corrupt deal made tLe night be
fore. Decent Rep #Hicans understand
h— • and why it was done. And they
are going to rebuke it. Bunn and
i-ichael will be the beneficiaries of
triis crooked convention. In no other
way san the independent voters signify
their contempt of those who leave the
situation of judicial affairs to the de
liberations of mobs of drunken topers
gathered together in the purlieus of
the city.

that has been entirely acceptable to all of

THAT "YELLOW DOG."
Horace Bigelow's Friends Are Try
ins: to Cover It Up.
The capital that the Republicans have at
tempted out of the fact that Herman Op
penheim's name was not mentioned by Judge
Willis at the Democratic rally the other even
ing is not likely to help Horace Bigelow any.
The fact was perfectly apparent to everybody
that the omission was not intentional. Judge
Willis made notes of that portion of his
speech which had to do with the county
ticket, and the name of every candidate was
included in the notes. Neither Judge Willis
nor anybody e!«e noticed the omission.
Mr. Oppenheim has no more ardent sup
porter than Judge Willis, and the candidate
foT county attorney is well aware of that
fact. He quite understands that the omis
sion of his name from the list included in
the speech was an inadventerncy. Bigelow
and his friends have taken the matter up,
with the view of hiding the "yeilow dog,"
but the "yellow dog" will rise up in front of
Bigelow in spite of everything.
GRAVES WILL, WIN.
His Work for His Fellow Men Is Go
ing- to Count.
The contest for the legislature In the Sixth
ward is one of more than ordinary interest.
The two rival newspaper men of West St.
Paul, A. S. Graves, of The Broad Axe, and
C. S. Schurman are candidates on the re
spective tickets. The contest is all the more
Interesting because of the distUfctly different
characteristics of the two men. Schurman
is a Republican, is the representative of
monopoly and trusts, and other evils which
oppress the people, and conducts a newspaper
in these interests. Graves, the Dertveratic
candidate, is a man of the people and The
Broad Axe, under his management, has at
tracted wide attention for its fearless, aggres
sive and able advocacy t)f popular rights and
the progress of man. - It is certain that Mr.
Graves will be elected by a large majority.
TIM SHEEHAN'S FIGHT.
He Will Appreciate That He Had
One Even if Elected.
Tim Sheehan has about run his course in
the First and Second wards. Since the at
tention of the taxpayers was directed to the
condition of affairs in the county offices, a
good deal of inquiry has been made as to th«
origin and author of the county salary laws
that were passed, ostensibly for the purpose
of putting the offices on a salary basis, and
it has been brought home to the senator from
the First.
Mr. Sheehan framed the bill and, as a
member of the Judiciary committee, passed
upon It. Since <*t was attempted to put the
law into effect the county has spent thou
sands of dollars in litigation and it wag
finally proven unconstitutional. There are
people who will Insist that Mr. Sheehan must
be a very poor lawyer or a very good legis
lator to have framed such a bill.
Added to this and other matters of record
as reasons for unpopularity Mr. Bheehan
labors under the misfortune of having been
obliged to pull his nomination out of the fire
between the hours of midnight and the open
ing of the convention, the attitude of the
Second ward to the contrary no'.withatanding.
The district did not want him nominated and
he is in a fair way to have that fact demon
strated to his undoing at the polls.
LEFT AltllGL IN THE AIR.
And He Isn't Very Jubilant Over
the Matter at That.
C F. Arrol makes no bones about saying
that some of hta money was used to nom
inate George Irish, and he is ebout as Bore
as they make them. It seems that Arrol was

taken into the Fourth ward combination and
made to put up all of the expenses of the
campaign ud to the convention. The Im
portance that la attached to the nomination
by the crowd is shown In the actual fact
that Arrcl is said to have been milked to the
extent of $2,800. A part of the money was
left on deposit until it was shown that th,o
Irish crowd could deliver the votea in con
vention that Arrol had bargained for, and
even that he was separated from by having
the vote delivered — it being clear to the other
gang that It wculd not be enough to elect.
This reduction of expenses for the prelim
inary campaign was a life-saver for Chapel
and Irish. Chapel had about $2,000 in the
Second National bank, and that was saved as
a nest ogg for the regular campaign. All
of the money for the campaign is being fur
nished by Chapel, and Eli Warner is having
troub'e already to keep the partners from
having a row over who will use the money,
Chapel Insisting on handling it, because it is
his, and Irish taking the position that as the
candidate he should be the disbursing officer
of the Chapel-Warner-Irish combine.
JOHNSON AS FINANCIER.
A < haiiife That Would Once Have
SuKKeated Merriment.
A year or two ago, when Billy Johnson was
an attache of one of the city school houses,
before he entered the domain of statesman
ship, no one ever dreamt of him as a public
official. Any intimation of his becoming a
financial officer of city or county would have
caused heart failure to prevail universally
among those who knew him. And yet, Biily
aspires, not only to be a financial officer, but
maker of financial affairs. His deal with the
Kieferverein to give Bill Ames the assessor
ship la still open. It is another illustration
and the office of sheriff was not the first po
sition of responsibility to which he was
elected. His administration of the finances
of the city, in tte office of the city treasurer,
commended him to the taxpayers long before
he was thought of for sheriff, and his ad
ministration of the last office has been a
continuance of the business niethod3 that
marked his conduct as city treasurer.
His conduct of the office that he now holds
has been in such marked contrast to the
methods of his Republican predecessor that a
Republican grand jury saw fit to especially
commend it and him in official reports. Mr.
Wagener is not a professional politician, but
he knows a thing or two about practical poli
tics, and the Republicans themselves-, in ef
fect, concede his election.
of the exalted spirit which moves Republican
statesmanship now cor trolling affairs in tho
community. The exhibition which Ames
made of himsdf in the Republican conven
tion in pretending to be a candidate for
sheriff and getting no mere than a corporal's
guard of votes, was so disgraceful a proof
of his deal with Johnson and the Kieferverein
as to make it very doubtful at this stage of
affairs whether even so daring a lot as "the
combine" will have the nerve to stand for
it during the campaign.
ROGERS PEELING BLUE.
Prospects Do Not Look as Bright for
Him ag They Did.
Even Ed Rogers grows mcroze over the
situation. The air is assuming wonderful
density to the one-time sanguine speculators
who struggled. with each oihsr so fiercely a
few short weeks ago to get nominations wh'oh
they were taught to believe meant each a
certificate of election. These men may any
day be seen in any and every ward in the
city. The good fellow campaign is their
long suit. The corrupt practices act Is in
their estimation, a gay enchantment. Liquft
refreshment is not expected to count in Ac
statements they are to file later on with ttu;
county auditor. In their intelligent estima
tion of the moral aspect of politics— e-p=>
cially when a fat office may be sacrificed by
too rigid compliance of the law— the only
corrupt practice which that enactment might
have been designed to prevent is the prac
ticability which la fast deve.oping into a
certainty of their being beaten by their
Democratic opponents.

WAKES MANY MEMORIES.
George Benz Observes the Forty-
Fourth Anniversary of His
American Arrival.
Yesterday was 'the forty-fourth anniversary
of George Benz Sr.'s landing In America,
and as he has prospered fairly well in his
adopted home, It was not an unpleasant oc
casion with him. Mr. Benz. at the age of 16
left his native home in Germany in Septem
ber, 1854, and after a voyage of thirty-two
days on the ship William Tell landed in New
York Oct. 22. He came right West, and Nov
1, of the same year, reached Chicago, where
he remained until the spring of 1858, in April
of which year he came to this city, and haa
made It his home ever since.

brary.
A distinct attempt has been made
in the past few days to bolster the
failing fortunes of O. H. Arosin In the
First ward by spreading the story that
hv is really i n favor of the election of
John Lind. The effoi t might have some
color of success if the move had been
mia-de earlier, and it had some evidence
of truth about it. If A rosin is support
ing Jo ton Lind for goverr.or he is d. ing
it in a desperate effort to help himself
in the First, and the only
reason that Arosin's friends have
to give an air of truth to the
statement lies in the fact that a rela
tive of Arosin's ie the editor of a Scan
dinavian newspaper in Minneapolis,
which paper is supporting the Demo
cratic candidate for gov, rnor. The sub
terfuge that Arosin is using to make
himself popular in the First is very
much of a piece with the other moves
he has made in this campaign, and they
may be classed as political trickery.
Arosin was nominated in spite of the
First ward. At tlhe caucus that was
held in the First the night before the
convention, it was shown that he had
very little strength, both Alex. Lindahl
and A. G. Jcxhnson running ahead of
him. He went into the convention and
was nominated because of the support
of the political leaders of the Seventh.
His strength was gained in that ward
and among those men by methods that
will transpire before the campaign is
over. He is in no sense in touch or
sympathy witih the First and has re
peatedly shown that he has no regard
for the people he is now trying to culti
vate. His public record is not calcu
lated to help him in the First any more
than it will in any of the other wards.
He is now declaring himself a Swede of
the Swedes, yet ordinarily he res&nts
being called a Swede.
Arcein was. pulled out of the obscurity
in which he had firmly buried himself
in the council by Mayor Doran.. A ms
taken idea of polit cs and an exaggerat
ed notion of the importance of Arosin,
due in a great measure to having the
man who looks like Hobson constantly
before him, moved Mr. Doran to make
Arosin president of the fire board.
PASSED UP HIS COUNTRYMEN.
To give Arosin the place that had
'been for years ftlled by George A. Free
man, a large property owner and the
head of one of the most important
manufacturing concerns in the city,
was reducing city government to the
farce comedy status, but it was thought
to be a sop to the Swedes. It had, in
fact, a directly contrary effect. Arosin
was in no sense a representative of the
great body of his fellow countrymen.
He had time and again given them to
understand that he had nothing in
common with them, and did not want
to associate with them. Yet he was
taken out of his little jewelry shop and
placed at the head of on-e of the most
important of the municipal depart
ments, and he proceeded at once to
take the political scalp of the man who
had brought the fire department to ita
then degree of perfection. George A.
Freeman was turned out to make room
for this small politician, and then Chief
Jackson was turned down. It required
some presumption on- the part of Arosin
to effect these two removals, but he
was well chosen for the purpose, and
both removals were made.
As soon as he established himself in
the office Arosin proceeded to run the
fire department with the autocratic rule
that his personal importance warrant
ed. He knew more about it than
George Freeman or Chief Jackson, and
he went to work to overhaul the de
partment. And he instantly made it
apparent to the people of the. First
ward that he had got all that he^x
pected to get through their influence
and was through with them. He had
a few persons who were so tied up
with him that he could not afford to
turn them down, and he made some ap
pointments—or had them made. One of
these appointments came to the sur
face Friday.
Oscar Lindor was appointed to the
fire department by Arosin five montha
ago*. He has served ever since. The
law requires that all firemen be citi
zens of the United States, yet this man,
appointed by Arosin in spite of the
claims of many citizens of the First
and other wards, did not become a citi
zen of the country until Friday, A
First ward man called the attention of
Arosin to the fax?t that Lindor was not
a citizen at the time of the aDDoint
ment, but was told to go to the devil.
Friday Lindor took out his citizenship
papers very quietly, and he will be
entitled to vote by the time he has
served ac fireman for two years.
NO FRIEND OF LABOR.
Incidental to reorganizing the de
partment, Arosin found opportunity to
get himself into trouble with an in
stitution that is likely to have some
thing to do with the present election.
And in his dealings with the institu
tion referred to he assumed such a
high and mighty air that the city is
now engaged in defending a suit and
the Master Plumbers' association is
out after the political scalp of the love
ly young man from the First. It oc
curred to Arosin that he ought to de
tail a fireman to do. the plumbing in
the various engine houses. Among the
firemen was one who unoTerstood
plumlbing and he was detailed to do
the work of the department.
Under the law, plumbers are required
to take out a license to pursue their
calling. The attention of Arosin was
called to this facT, a.nd he was told
that the man he had detailed could
not do the work without having a
plumber's license. He paid no atten
tion to the statement and said he
didn't care anything about the law —
he was going to have the work done
in his own way. The master plumbers
are taxed in order that they be pro
tected and property owners protected
in plumbing work, and they resisted
the attitude of Arosin.
President John McQuillan, of the as
sociation, called a meeting, and a com
mittee was appointed, to see Arosin
about the matter and have an explana
tion with him. The committee con
sisted of Master Plumbers J. H Shea,
M. J. O'Niel and J. E. Holt. There
could be nothing of politics in the af
fair, for two of the members of the
committee are Republicans. They
went to Arosin and he refused to talk
with them; he said that he had de
cided that he would keep a man at
work on the plumbing, and that was
•all there was of it.
The committee then went before the
fire board. The memibers of the com
mittee are all men of intelligence and
standing. When they appeared before
the board, Arosin told them that, If
they had any complaint to make, it
must be made in writing — that the
board could not listen to them. Then
the Master Plumbers' association
brought suit, asking for an injunction
restraining the fire board plumber from
doing worlc without taking out a. li
cense. The case is still pending.
* ARRAYED AGAINST HIM.
Friday night there was a meeting of
the plumbers' association. The object
of the meeting wag to dlscusa what
should be done with Arosin. The as
sociation had long before concluded to
stick to Its rights, but the assumption
of superiority and the refusal of Aro-
Bin to meet the committee of the as
ociatlon was still to be disposed of.
All of the members of the association
were present and it was shown that
as a. body the association would op
pose all of its strength to the election
to office of a man who has so littl*
regard for the law and for decency as
Arosin exhibited. There was some
discussion as to whether the master
plumbers would shut up their shops
and let the men go out and oppose
Arosin. Thlg question was left to a
future meeting. In the meantime, the
Journeymen plumbers will hold a meet
ing and there is no doubt of the re-
Bult of their deliberations. They will
go- after him as one man.
All of which is the result of the
overbearing nature of Mr. Arosin.
Another instance of hi» attitude to
ward the public is shown In the way ha
forced the juvendle department of the
puibli-c library out of its quarters in the
city hall.
SHUT OUT THE CHILDREN.
Mr. Arosin is a very fashionable and
fastidious youmig man, and he. himseli
is authority for the statement that he
is bo exceedingly good-looking that
when he was in New York he was re
peatedly taken for Lieutenant Com
mander Hobson, of Merrimac fame.
He was not so bad until that happened,
but when he had quite made up his
mind that he looked like Hobson he
found his surroundings at fire head
quarters out of all proportion to his
deservings. The rooms weren't digni
fied enough in which he hod to sit for
an hour every two weeks, and he look
ed for quarters where the air would
be more redolent of politics and less of
the machine. He went over and look
ed the city hall through, and at once
concluded that if the juvenile library
could be thrown out room might be
made for the Judges of the municipal
court, and the rooms occupied by them
might be utilized by the fire board.
He went to work on his scheme. He is
nothing, if not pertinacious. It is tha
only quality that he retains of the
characteristics of his hardy ancestors.
He got Mayor Kiefer into the scheme,
and then went after the city hall and
court house commission, and before
anybody knew Just what he was doing
the juvenile readers had been ousted
from the building.
Then came a rear of public Indigna
tion, which affected Arosin not a bit,
but which did move Col. Kiefer to a
sense of what was fitting, and the ju
venile department was saved by ths
mayor giving up his private office— he
averted the effort of Arosin to have it
abolished.
The Republican candidate for county
treasurer has in everything shown his
utter disregard for public opinion, but
he does not stop there.
NO USE FOR OLD SOLDIERS.
It occurred some time ago that a
member of the Grand Army of the Re
public was a candidate for appointment
to the place of marketmaster. He went
to Arosin and asked for his indorse
ment, saying that he was an old sol
dier. Arosin looked at him through
his glasses, with the supercilious air
that marks him when he comes in
touch with the common people, and he
is reported to have said:
"You old soldiers are a nuisance. If
I had my choice between supporting an
old soldier for an office or supporting a
nigger, I don't know what I would do."
Which shows at once the regard the
man has for the old soldier, and also
