When the name of William Pitt Muir
ray was mentioned Kisses and groans
filled the air, and so it continued
throughout the evening. The names of
Murray or McCafferty were hlSsed and
groaned as those of the most hated enc
mics.
Eustis Tells His Story.
A prolonged round of applause fol-
lowed the reading of the resolutions,
and then there were repeated calls for
W. 81. Eustis, who seemed to be disin-
clined to speak, but when he at last
arose the whole room rang with cheers.
Mr. EuStis began by saying that, if the
Minneapolis tourists that left the city at
4 O'Clock yesterday morning had been
accompanied by the crowd before him
the search warrants would have been
served. He spoke of the growth Of the
two cities side by side, and then revert
ed to the census taking. He said that
no one could inSinuate that Minneapolis
citizens had lnterfered with the ST.
Paul census taking. Then why should
st. Paul interfere with Minneapolis?
He went on and declared that he had
ascertained through information from
an undOubted source that the United
States government had absolutely re-
fused to assist St. Paul citizens
in interfering win the Minneap-
apOlis census; that a complaint about
illegal census taking had been sent by
Murray to United States officials, and
that it had been honOred with waste
basket room. He averred that the ac
tiOn had been taken oy st. Paul citizens
alone, and that the action was wholly
unWarranted. Mr. Eustis then related
how Capt. Jake Helm and himself had
been treated in st. Paul yesterday
morning, how pistols had been thrust
into their faces by st. Paul police Off
GERS; ;how warrant sworn out in court
OF justice was treated, and how himself
the building by policemen without be-
ing given chance to be heard. Mr..
Eustis thought it well to say something
of the newspapers of st. Paul.
''When," said he, II took up that
upas tree, the Pioneer Press, this morn
ing, l felt called upon to declare that
would handle it hereafter with tongs
only"
A Voice How about the GLOBE?
"The GLOBE is much better paper.
Outsideof pollticsit meets with my appro
baton. do not think it even neces-
sary to except even that. Now, gentle
men, think we should hereafter let
the Pioneer Press serve St. Paul and
let US support the papers that do not
belle Minneapolis"
AS Mr.. Eustis ceased the hall rang
again with applause. AS soon as quiet
was restored cries of "Davis !'"DavisW
''Davis!" arose from all parts of the
forward. During the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Davis said:
f. f. Davis, Effort.
"These seven men who were unwar-
rantabiy arrested will have their day
in court. l am not here to try their
cause. But it is not necessary that pis-
tolls be thrust in the faces of men who
have borne previously good reputa-
tions in order to arrest them.
This outrage merits the denunciaton
of all men, even of St. Paul. l protest
that it is an outrage that men in a
court of justice should be treated like
dogs. protest against this unjustifable
seizure of our own property. / protest
against an officer of the United States
government descending to become a
common thief. l protest that men who
do these things should be allowed
longer to disgrace the robes of justice
which they wear"
Mr.. Davis was repeatedly interrupted
by spontaneous bursts of applause, and
when he resumed his seat the cheering
was tumultuous. Judge Rea was then
called for and responded in substance
thus:
"Within the limits of these two cities
is found one 14Oth part of the population
of the great republic; and, after what
these people seems to rest IN the breast
of William Pitt Murray. Kisses and
groans.] He alone seems to be the con-
stituted authority to see that the law is
respected. But we are law-abiding cit
liens, and when men come up here
from st. Paul to kidnap our citizens, we
must protest. This whole outrage is
the outcome of a scheme to belittle our
population. They are afraid of us.
The figures show that we have more
people here. But don't believe that the
respectable citizens of ST. Paul approve
of it. We have not been narrOw-minded.
We have grown alongside of them and
have always been friendly to them. We
have always patronized their industries.
But, in the face of such an unparalleled
insult. something must be done. These
resolutions mean more than words. We
are as law-abiding citizens as st. Paul
| people, and don't believe that William
Pitt Murray more hisses] has been
authorized to do this thing. l don't
believe that any government will in
| dorse his action, and haven't any con-
| fidence in or use for an administration
| that will indorse it." Prolonged cheer
ing:]
There were then repeated calls for
| Hart, continuing for about five minutes.
| When Mayor Babb could be heard he
announced that Mr.. Rart was address
ing another meeting out of doors.
Judge j. M. Shaw was then called
| upon.
Judge Shaw said that he had heard
but little of the matchmaking until
this morning but he thought that it
should be seen that the seven arrested
men got speedy trial.
| "Now, I will meet st. Paul men,"
continued Judge Shaw, p"and so will
you. Now, some of those St. Paul men
| will profess to be indignant. / will say
to them, Until you call a mass meeting
and protest against this outrage. lprO-
| pose to hold you individually RESPONSE
| ble."
Judge Shaw's idea met with the ap-
probation of the audience. He then
read the warrant sworn out by w. P.
Murray, and commented upon it. Judge
| Shaw declared that never. in legal
experience of over twenty-five years,
had he seen such thin complaint.
"Fletcherl" "Fletcher!" was the cry,
and "Uncle Loren" stepped to the
front. He said but little, other than
that he had been in many tussle with
the st. Paul fellows and always held
his own.
Mayor Babb here put the question OF
adopting the resolutions, and they were
carried with roar of delight.
