1t is all very we'll for the Journal to-
talk about distorted facts" apd "out-
rageous and abusive stories." 'fhat sort
of drivel answers its purpose as-talk.
But the people want facts ID this cam
paign. The journal has not, as yet,
made one attempt to disprove the stories
the GLOBE has printed about the Re-
publican candidates for the very good
and sufficient reason that they cannot
be disproven. Neither the Journal nor
its sanctified candidate, William Henry
Eustis, has said one word in disproof OF
the following facts:
That William Henry Eustis, by his
Union league speeches and by his part
in the famous Union league legislative
banquet, is a plainly convicted hypocrite.
so far as the liquor question is COLI
cerned.
That William Henry Eustis, by his
prevent pollution of the drinking water
of Minneapolis, proved himself false to
his own claim OF being staunch friend
of Minneapolis.
That William Henry Eustis, by his eff
forts in behalf of the infamous meat IN
Spection bill in 1889, proved the absolute
falsity of his bombastc, egotistical
claim of being friend of the working
man, or Of anybody else but William
Henry Eustis.
That William Henry Eustis. by his
work in the Third ward in the early
part of the campaign, and by his action
on the South Minneapolis flats last
Tuesday night, proved again that. in so
far as his pretensions to high morality
and regard for religion are concerned,
William Henry Eustis is all arrant
fraud.
These are facts not distorted. They
are not outrageous and abusive stories,
but indices to the character Of man
who is a possible mayor of Alinneapo-
lis, and about whose character the peo-
pie have right to know. Until the
Journal or William Henry Eustis says
something or does something to out
weigh these facts, the Journal would
better keep quiet. William Henry
EustiS will not suffer newspapers to lie
about him. His silence is all admission
of all that has been said.
Now as to William Henry and his
church episode of last Tuesday night
The Journal has found member of
Westminster church, partner Of Ma
tlonal Committeeman Evans, and there
fore rabid partisan of William Henry
Eustis, and secured from him denial
of the GLOBES story-a denial that is
not a denial.
Was Mr. Thompson at that meeting
on the flats Tuesday night? If he was
not there. what does he know about
what occurred there?
The GLOBE made the statement that
William Henry's meeting was held in
the mission church on the flats at the
foot of Second street. The people who
live in that vicinity say that the build
ing is church. They do not say that
it is the building rented by the West
Minister people years ago and given up
four or five years ago; they do say that
it is the building built by the W.estmin-
ster church four or five years ago and
used since for church work. Let there
be no mistake about the location OF that
building. 1t is definitely stated that it
is the church building north of the
Washington avenue bridge and at the
foot of Second street. In that church
the meeting was held, and there the
beer flowed.
Some days ago the Tribune an
nounced that F. q. Mcmillan could not
legally be elected to the office of men,
Der of the school board. The Tribune
knows better now. Mr.. Mcmillan has
in his possession an Interpretation Of
the law by the Republican attorney
general of Minnesota, stating that there
is nothing to prevent him from holding
the offices of state senator and member
of the board of education Of Minneapo-
lis. The Tribune knows that the attor-
ney general has made this interpreta.
ton. Why does it not be honest and
announce il?
Does the charter of the city of Mime
apolis provide, in any of its blind sec
lions. that the people Of Minneapolis
are bound to supply Andrew G. Haugan
with an office throughout the term Of
his natural life? If not, what is he run
ming this year for? Mr.. Haugan has
been an alderman and mem Der of tue
park board for years. Heisa perennial
candidate for the Office of city treas
urer. He does not deserve it. One
office at time is enough for any man.
The Democrats have nominated man
for city treasurer who has been resi-
dent of Minneapolis for twenty-siX
yearS-since he was boy. lie is
good man, clean man, a business man.
He should be elected. bis name is Jo-
seph g. Scallen.
An evening paper brings the welcome
intelligence that the Law Enforcement
league is still alive and preparing for
another vigorous, though disreputable
crusade" or course it is alive. Why
shouldn't it be? 1t has candidates in
this campaign and it wants to elect
them. Frank M. Nye, one of its legal
advisers, is running for county attor-
ney. Charles S. Cairns, the handspring
of the Law Enforcement league, is
running for the legislature in the
Thrty-first district. William Henry
EuStiS, the patron saint of the league
and the promised protector OF the sa-
loonkeeper and gambler, is running for
mayor.
OF course the Law Enforcement
league is alive.
