! supporters went into caucuses for him
and then went to the convention and
worked openly for him. Those thou

| have been printed had it not been
! known among the select few that Eustis
wanted the nomination.
All through this fight Eustis gave a
bad exhibition of James G. Blaine's po-
litical methods, But he was more sue
| cessful than his model.
| The Blethen men also have it i'll for
Boardman somewhat. Boardman could

bile by Withdrawing sooner. lie eX-
| plains his failure to keep the agreement
by saying that he remained in the race
with the expectation Of getting some
Lowell votes. But they never came.
The Blethen men are proud of the
way they stood by their man. But their
pride does not allay their pain at the
success of the uper-Pecksnifian meth
Ods that nominated EustlS. More than
all do they deteSt the airs that John
GoOdnow, Charlie johnson and others
will assume. now that EustiS is nOmi-
mated. They predict that Eustis will
learn what everybody else pretty
thoroughly understands that the
| friendship of Goodnow. johnson and
their crowd of ''smart boys" is frought
with fatality.
| A. j. Blethen is out with a letter
thanking the friends who stood by him
| in the fight, and specially thanking the
GLOBE, Times and Journal for cOuite-
Gus, fair treatment. But he draws the
line at the Tribune, whicn treated him
OutrageOusly. He says:
IL must remark right here that l do
not understand how an editor of a
newspaper, who has occupied place
in the United States senate, could have
written the editorial of this morning,
after having published the outrageous,
unjust, uncaled for and slanderouS
editorial of two weeks ago today. Ger
tainly L cannot understand how he
could do it without having at least
ap0lOgiZed for his first attack. for his
words of today absolutely condemn,
deny and destroy the language Of two
weeks ago"
The editorial in question, the one
printed yesterday, was mplimentary
to MIR. Blethen, he having been defeat
ed. MIR. Blethen also takes shot at
some of his other enemies thus:
81 wish to say also that | do not be-
| lieye that one-third of the men whose

cular,' written by Johnson and Good
now, as published in the Tribune, ever
saw the same or heard it read. The re-
Elections OH the other candidates
contained in that circular were
worthy of the former. but unworthy of
such men as Gov. Pillsbury, Z. s. C)r-
ser ami many others. If l have been in
favor of wide open policy or rum
regime as Goodnow and Johnson meu
have so often charged, some evidences
of these policies would have cropped
out in the seven years that controlled
the Tribune, and where my attitude OH
these questions was so often tested"
Mr.. Blethen says he would have been
| glad to move to make the nomination of
Eustis unanimous, but. as Eustis' most
| formidable opponent, he should have
| been invited to follow Eustis. The men
| who defeated Blethen Waged an unfair,
unmanly war against him, and Bleth-

The convention did not settle all the
aiderm9nic contests. In the Eighth
ward for instance, the people simply
will not have Grimes. The fiagrant
packing or caucuses by the street rail-
even good Republican stomachs.
Grimes nomination was forced
against the will of the residents
of the ward. Ace Abel, who was a
delegate, was mixed up in the affair.
1t is charged that he voted for Grimes,
after protesting that he would not. and
after resorting to petty deception to
mislead Grimes opponents. But Grimes
is not elected yet. An independent
candidate may be put III the field. What
is more probable is that good Demo
crat will be elected. Charles Alf WILL
Jams is mentioned as possible Demo
cratic candidate for alderman. He can
be elected over Grimes, as more capa-
BILE and honest man does not live in
Minneapolis. II. S. Smith, the commits
sion man. is another spoken OF. The
street railway company canhot manipu-
late elections as it does caucuSeS.
The dispute over the nomination in
the Second ward will be settled by ar
bitration. Fred b. Snyder, the success
full. and Burke O'Brien, the cheated
candidate, have agreed to submit the
matter to three dislnterested persons.
