q. M. Foote prOnounces the whole
story "a malicious lie' The Journal
fell into line behind its hated rival last
night, and repeated the same cry. 'Any-
thing to save Winston" 1t tried to
bolster it up thus:
1T is an out and out skirmiSh for
Winston votes at the expense of every
other man on either ticket. And these
unfortunate Democratic nominees are
Objecting, and forcibly, too, to this
wholesale slaughter. 1t is said, for in
stance, that II. D. Peterson, party NOM
lnee for county treasurer, has aban-
doned the patronage of the county lead
erS. and is making an independent can
vass for votes; MIR. Peters0n's name is
brought prominently forward because
ne is the man who is accredited with
making the most pronounced kick; but
the other nominees but echo his clarion
note of protest"
Mr.. Peterson is an old Minneapoiitan
and well-knOwn business man, whose
word carries as much weight as that of
the fleXible-Spined editor of the Jour
mai, who was ''bluffed" into silence on
the Mckinley bill. Mr.. Peterson says:
THAT is the first time that have
heard that l have been kicking. The
whole story is an unmitigated false
of truth in it. 1t is wholly false, every
word of it,
Then the Journal resurrects that old
story about the opposition of the so
called "Glenn-AmeS faction" which
has never existed during this campaign
except in the minds of anxious Repub-
licans DESTROYS of diverting attention
from their own fast-failing fortunes.
These things would be laughable did
they not voice stubborn fact-that
there is no longer shadow of chance
for Potter and very small crumb of
comfort for any Republican candidate
in Hennepin county.
Then the Evening Tribune returned
to the charge last evening by declaring
that z. Demeules' paper, Echo de
u Quest, has declared for Winston be-
cause of "boOdle." 1t comments thus:
Tine day before the issue of the
paper Mr.. Demeules called upon a
prominent Republican and told him
that he had been offered $500 to come
out for Winston, but that he would
rather support Potter. and would do SO
if the Republicans would pay him $780,
Mr.. Demeules said last night, regard
ing this:
Il absolutely deny that I have made
any Sucn OH6r 10 the Republicans or
any one else. | have always been Re-
publican from principle, and am now a
Republican OfficehoIder. / advocate
the election of MIR. Winston because
believe it to be for the best interests of
the city that he be elected. Further
more, | emphatically assert I refused
to sell the Republican city committee
large order of papers because looked
upon the offer as bribe. l deny that |
have receIued one cent from the Demo-
Gratis, and defy any one to prove that |
have or that L offered to sell my PAPERS
influence to the Republicans. More
over, [ propose to sue the Evening
Tribune for libel"

A circular printed in the Norwegian
language and purpOrting to come from
the Scandal Reform club is being circu-
lated. 1t contains list Of men for
whom voters are advised to cast their
ballots. The major portion of these
names are those of Republicans, while
few Democrats, those known to be
invincible, are included. This is be.
lieyed to be Republican scheme to
save part Of the county ticket. Look
out for it.
Irving A. Spear, second candidate for
alderman in the Second ward, is at
present advancing an argument to
