BISMARCK'S m MANALEXANDER M'KEXZIE, THE

.NORTH DAKOTA POLITICIAN,

IX THE CITY

SAYS HE IS OUT OF POLITICS

The Accident In Xew York in "Which.He Nearly Lost III_ Life Has Told

on Ills Nervous System— Taking;

Xo Active Interest in the Coming

Senatorial Fight Field Against

Johnson.

Alexander McKenzie, the founder ofBismarck and the biggest man, phys-ically as well as politically, in the ter-ritory of Dakota and North Dakota, formany years, is in the city, stopping attht Merchants'. .Mr. McKenzie was a

picturesque figure in the public eye inthe Northwest from the time he foundhis fortunes and Bismarck hack inl&7o, but for two years he has not beenin this part of the country, and is nolonger interested in Dakota politics.

Nearly two years ago he was in anelevator In a New York hotel when itfell eight Btories. He was the only per-son not killed by the fall, but both ofhis legs were horribly smashed and hesustained other injuries that wouldhave killed an ordinary man. He wasIn bed for ten months, and now thathe Is out he says that the shock to hisnervous system was so great that hecan no longer be active in public af-fairs. He told a Globe reporter yes-terday that he was not interested inthe coming senatorial fight in NorthDakota, and that he was not going todo anything to try his strength. Heowns a good deal of property in Bis-marck, and some of his buildings weredestroyed In the flre there. He camewest to look after the rebuilding, andls In St. Paul buying material.

A senatorial election ln North Dakotawith Alex McKenzie out of lt will beunique in the history of politics ih thestate. For years he controlled th*Missouri slope and held every office atBismarck, being the first sheriff of Bur-leigh county. For ten years or morehe has not sought office for himself,but has a reputation as broad as thecountry as an astute politician. Hehad his way in the selection of everyn.an sent to the legislature from NorthDakota, with the exception of the Dem-ocrat, Senator Roach. He caused theremoval of the capital of the territoryfrcm Yankton to Bismarck, after afight that Is referred to all over thecountry still as one of the fastest thatever came off in the political arena.Now he is out of it, and declared yes-terday that he did not know anythingpf the coming election, with the excep-tion that it was the field against Con-ricreman Johnson, and he would notpick between the field and the indi-vidual.

Mr. McKenzie said that Bismarckhad already overcome the most disas-trous of the effects of the flre, and thatt would be tremendously improved" by

the time the plans for rebuilding wereall carried out—most of the buildingscompleted and prospective, being of

OUS FEATURES.

IN THE COM FIGHTDEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES HAVE A

MEETING AND COMPARENOTES

RESULT IS SATISFACTORY

The Narrow Party Action of the Re-publican County Officials ln theMatter of the Ticket Isn't Hurt-Ins the Democrats Petitions"Were Being Prepared ln Antici-pation of Some Such Move.

Every man on the Democratic countyand legislative ticket, with the excep.tion of one -senatorial and a represen-tative candidate, was present at ameeting* called for yesterday morningat Democratic headquarters. The fullmeeting was called for the purpose otan exchange of views between the can-didates and the organization, and afteiit was over every man present wasready to give long odd-a that the ticketwould be elected from top to bottom.It was enthusiastic in every respectas could be -possible, and there werejust about as many people in attend-ance as there were at the Republican,"rally" the evening .before at Mozarthall.

All of the members of the countyticket took a hand in the discussionand made reports as to what they hadgleaned of the feel.ngs about town, andMessrs. Platte, Wagener, Miesen, Oil-man, Meade and Cavanagh told of nu-merous evidence tlhey had been offeredof a material change ln the votlnnranks. After the exchat ge of congrat-ulations routine business was takenup and some reports made on thtprogress of the work of seem .ng namesto the petitions that lt was decided tofile some days before. The executivocommittee had been practically cer-tain that the Republican county of-ficials would rule that the Democrat*would have to go on the ballot by pe>tition, and had mad- preparations forsuch a decision, knowing that lt wouldbe held up until too late If possible.It appeared that most of the petitionswere already well signed, and that thework could be flniished at very shortnotice. The signing of petitions waaonly a precautionary measure, as thacommittee felt certain that the Demo-crats as individuals had constitutionalrights that could not be taken awayat the dictum of a petty Republicanofficial, and the right of the party toits proper place on the official ballotwill be contested up to the court of lastresort.

Mr. Cavanagh felt certain that theattitude of the Republican manager*in trying to forfeit the right of th*Democrats would have an effect an thaminds of decent people that would helpthe Democrats.

Mr. Mksen said that he knew ofdozens of men who woul&_be witlh thaDemocrats because of the hlg*h-handedproceedi.-gs of the Republican official^,and by s«>me of the speakers there waaa good deal of feeling shown, it beingintimated that if the Republicans weraprepared to take advantage of suchmethods the people ought to be fullyadvised. They argued that the peopltare not partisans beyond what ls fair,and that the raid on the ticket, with aview to having only Republican name*on it, wou'd have its own effect duringthe campaign.

The work of the organization, ofwhich Mr. Nowel is the head, was thor-oughly commended, and the reports ofthe subcommittees showed that pi-ogresshad been satisfactory in every direc-tion.

On motion lt was provided that thecandidates meet in a body to exchangeviews with the committee three timesa week

—Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fri-

days at 4:30 in the afternoon.

MOZART HALL FROST

WAS NOT WITHOUT ITS HUMOR-

There was glee that was not at alldisguised in the ranks of those Repub-licans who have not allied themselveswith the Plunderbund over the failureof Wednesday night's meeting at Mo-zart hall. The men who threw up theparty after watching its tactics up toand during the county convention wereln the position of the man who-told-you-so, and they were rejoiced. EvenBillyJohnson gave it out that he wouldbe ashamed of himself and would re-tire from politics entirely, if he couldn'tget up a better meeting at two hours'notice in the Eighth ward— and at thatBilly doesn't think he can carry theEighth.

"The funny feature of that meeting,"said a Democrat who had the curiosityto drop in there^ "was the tossing ofbouquets that Jaggard and Willrichindulged ln. Each of them knew thatthe other was not only willing to butat that moment some of the friends ofeach were knifing the other, yet theyeach referred to the other as thoughthey were on the square. Jaggardknows that there isn't a chance onearth for him, except to 'beat Willrich,and the haughty gentleman from theprobate bench is convinced that salva-tion for him only lays in the slayingof Jaggard. There was a string at-tached to every bouquet that they toss-ed, and the rest of the talkers werequite willing to let them go withoutmention, for, if a candidate should goby the breadth of a hair farther in thepraise of Willrich than he does for Jag-gard, or vice versa, the one offendedwould be after him ln a minute."

SHEEHAN WILL ATTEND.IS GOING TO THAT FIRST WARD

MEETING.

There has been a compromise in theSheehan row in the First ward. Thesenator has been slightly ill for sometime, and it was first proposed thathe should take advantage of that factand remain away from the meetingwhere he was not wanted. This Fitz-gerald and the other Irishman con-nected refused accede to, but there wasthe big Swedish delegation refusing toattend, and it was finally arranged thatSheehan might attend, but would notspeak, taking advantage of his recentillness. In the meantime he is beingsolicited by a number of prominentIrishmen, who know the legislator quitewell, to keep out of the ward and throwup the nomination if necessary. Thishe will, of course, refuse to do for ifhe does, Fitzgerald and a few otherswill throw up their connection with theorganization.

IS FULLER HELPING?PLACING SAUER ON THE TICKET

LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.Otto K. Bauer** candidacy, which

was announced toy Phil Haas a coupleof days ago, has been made regular bythe Henry Fuller Democracy. Bauerstarted as an independent, and whenHaas was ordering tickets for him theformer said that he had to do some-thing for George Irish, as he had beenpromised a deputyship.It is held by prominent Germans

that It ls something of a reflection onthe intelligence of the German-Amer-icans to suppose that Bauer will getany German votes. He ls put up withthe Idea of cutting Into the Wagenervote, and will cut to the extent of adollar a vote for the cost of filing hispetition.

J. WASON SMITH'S AIM.SAID TO BE AFTER BENEFIT IN-

SURANCE SOCIETIES.If *t can, as it no doubt will, be

proven that J. Watson Smith's pres-ence ln the legislature has to do notonly with the securing of an enlarge-ment of the right of the foreign mort-gagee, but also goes to the extent ofshutting out from the Insurance busi-ness the mutual benefit societies, hisend willbe ln plainer sight than it isnow.It is said, and with every evidence of

truth, that Smith willattempt the pas-sage of a law that has been foughtthrough ln other spates, Shutting outall mutual companies, thus includingbenefit societies.

In 1886. He received his first situation In theregister of deeds offlce during the latter partof Hon. R. C. Wiley's term. He continuedin same offlce for the next two years, duringHon. John M. Bell's teim, ai d then received a

Schlffmann and W. A. Donahower tellJohns that there were other prophetsbefore him, and that they cannot doanything for him. John O'Connor isconceded the Fourth by a majority ofa couple of hundred by the Republicancommittee. The majority will probablygo twice that number, and possibiythree times the figure mentioned.

HENRY FULLER'S PARTY.

THE ASSISTANT ENGINEER NOM-INATES A FEW CANDIDATES.

Candidates for county offices on theIndependent Democratic ticket, filedcertificates; of nomination with thecounty auditor ve-terday. Followingare the candidates: Otto K. "Saner.sheriff; C. R. Robbins, clerk of thedistrict court; J. C. Dev.-reaux, aud'tor;A. J. Birmingham, treasurer; E. J.Larkin, register of deeds; HenryMars-ton. county surveyor.

Henry Carling filed a petition nomin-ating him for congress frcm the Fourthdistrict.

T. D. Sheehan. Republican candidatefor the state senate from the Thirty-third district, and T. D. Prendergast,Populist candidate for county auditor,also filed certificates of nominatio iyes-terday.

NO MORE CHAIR WARMERS.

WHICH LETS MR. BARTA OUT OFIT.

Fred Barta, candidate for the statesenate, said, in his "speech," at Mozaithall Wednesday evening, that he would"vote for Davis first, last and all thetime for United States senator." Baitahas been in the legislature for twoterms, arid the only time he has beenheard from in that body was whena roll call was being taken. The Fifihand Sixth wards will elect a man thistime who will be a credit to the cityand state, and not a chair-warmer.

ED ROGERS' POSITION.

SOME THINGS ABOUT HIS OFFICIAL AC-TIONS THAT ARE NOT CLEAR.

To The St. Paul Globe:It ls amusing to see how quietly the Re-

publican candidates are about their past rec-ord, that is the candidates that were nom-inated on the county ticket, and those offi-cers that took no part in the lobbying againstthe reducing of salaries at the legisature fouryears ago where Itft off, as they undoubted-ly could not be used

—they were not wanted.

It is very mysterious, is it not. that the sal-ary bill should be so changed as to exceptthe clerk of court's office for two years hence.Mr. Rogers could explain that, together witha few more paid lobbyists.

Did any one see a certain man In the halisat the capitol during that session iv the in-terest of that bill, and what argument wasused for Mr. Rogers, and did not the same in-dividual shortly afterwards get an appoint-ment for service so well rendered? But thetaxpayers do not pay much attention to thisway of legislation. E. G. Rogers is .the headof the present Republican gang. Are thepeople going to continue this gang rule? Itlooks that way—why? Rogers is the princeof good fellows. Watch him when ho makeshis speech ln this campaign, and rememberwhat he said four years ago about the in-come for that office. If too large, he wouldnot take lt all. Has he not been engaged lnassisting the Populists to make their selec-tion against him. This, the people will say,ls politic, and if we keep on and let MrRogers run all parties to suit himself wewill have more corrupt officers than we everhad before. But Barnum .aid the Americanpeople wished to be humbugged. However itis in our hands this fall ta relegate such mento private life. They have been tried andfound wanting. Let as have honest men forpublic offices regardless of party and turnthe dictators down and cut down salaries forthe clerk of court's office to $4,000 from whathe gets now, which ls about $15,000. Lookup records and satisfy yourself; then this of-fice would not have so much to spend andcould not dictate so much, as that takesmoney. Yours sincerely. _a. d Smith.6t Paul, Oct. 8. 1898.

LOOKED LIKE COLLUSION.Why Jnilse Kelly Did Not Give Nel-

In considering the divorce suit ofNellie L. Chase against Charles Chase,Judge Kelley yesterday informed theplaintiff that he had about made uphis mind to grant her a decree, buther hopes were dashed to the ground,when, upon further examining thefacts in the case, the court decidedthat Mrs. Chase had sought relief fromthe wrong source, denying findings onthe ground that the suit should havebeen brought in the Hennepin countycourt.

Mrs. Chase is twenty-seven years otage, while her husband is forty-sevenyears old. The parties were marriedIn Minneapolis in 18S8. and despite thedisparity in ages Jived happily enoughtogether until 1892, when Mrs. Chasealleges that her husband without causedeserted her.It developed during the hearing that

Ruth Chase, a daughter of the defen-dant, had served the notice of thepresent suit upon her father. Theyoung woman was present ln courtwith her stepmother. This combina-tion of facts aroused Judge Kelly's sus-picion, and he Intimated that the par-ties to the action were probably incollusion to obtain a separation. Thisimputation was denied by Mrs. Chase,her stepdaughter and her attorney,but while exonerating the counselJudge Kelly observed that there werasome peculiar facts in the case.

STATE STUMPAGE SALE.It Will He Held at the Capitol on

The state timber board, consistingof the governor, auditor and treasurer,met yesterday afternoon in the execu-tive chambers and appraised all timberstumpage which is to be offered forsale at the annual stumpage sale,which willbe held by Auditor Dunn atthe capitol building. Nov. 11 at 10 a. m.

All of the stumpage was appraisedby the board at figures ranging from$2.50 and $3 per thousand, and In somecases the price set was $4.50. This isslightly above the appraisal of a yearago, and at the same time it is expect-ed that the stumpage willbring a bet-ter price than set by the board. Forseveral years pine stumpage found aready market, and some of the tractswhich will be offered by the state areof particular value.

With the exception of a few sectionsall the stumpage which will be offeredls located on school lands, and the rev-enue derived from the sale of the tim-ber will be diverted into the perma-nent school fund.

opera house attracted a large-sized audienceagain last evening to witness and enjoy thevery interesting features of tho splendidvaudeville performance Mr. L'tt has arrangedfor his nlay house for the present w- ek.Every feature of this vaudeville perform.uu-els a stellar one, and there is not an act thathas embodied in it any coar?enes-3 cr svg-gestion. Today at 2:30 a special matinee per-formance will be given and tomorrow afte--noon will occur the regular Saturday matineeperformance.

Of all the recently extolled crop of forces,"What Happened to Jones." whl<h will b *tthe Grand opera house, is probably the best,and the company which so successfully pre-sented it l*rst season should certainly be ableto keep any audience amused. The wellknown Jones Is played by George C. BonifaceJr., himself a veritable cocktail to thetheatrical appetite, while th? other membersof the cast are: Anna Belmont, J. W. Cone,Kathryn Osterman, Gerald Griffin, Helen Bell.Frank Currier, Florence Robiiißon, H. P.Roberts, Mrs. E. A. Aberle, Lewis H. Whlt-comb and Ada Cravm.
