metricaI, good Lord, good devl' can
didate for public office, William Henry
Eustis beats anything that was ever
seen in Minneapolis.
William Henry EustiS is the avowed
candidate of the members, the deacons,
the pastors and the presiding elders of
the orthodox churches in Minneapolis.
When, early III the campaign, he and
his satellites went into the Third ward,
stole hall, or obtained it under false
pretenses. and openly detied every prin-
ciple of the orthodox people who NOM
mated him by devoting the Lords day
to political campaigning, it was thought
he had gone as far as he would go. But
he hadn't. William Henry had not then
showed one 1.-THE Of his disregard for
the American Sunday and his dlSfeSpect
for things religious.
1t remained for William Henry Eustis,
candidate OF the ''righteouS" people OF
Minneapolis, to convert church into
saloon in the interests Of political cam-
paigning. That William Henry Eustis
and his followers did last Tuesday even
ing.
The Republicans wanted to hold a
meeting last Tuesday night on the
FLATS" The only suitable auditorium
was the church at the foot OF Second
street. The building is church. under
stand. 1t was bnlt few years ago by
the missionary sur.& OF the WeSllnln-
ster church, the lin. i 0nei" church or
the city. 1t has been u>.'nr1er since for
religious purposes. William I"3ry and
his men hired the church 10. 'ollllcal
meeting. They doubted William lien
ry's f1owery eloquence as drawing
thing that would appeal more pow
crfully to the expected audience than
rose colored pictures of "Nhat | Have
Done for Minneapolis" So they bought
several kegs Of beer, and had it carried
to the church. The kegs were tapped,
and, as the toaming glasses went
around, William Henry Eusts, candi-
date for Mayor, and John Holmberg,
candidate for the legislature in the
Thirty-second district, preached the doc
trines of the pure and holy Republican
party from the pulpit Iwhere the Word
of God was wont to be eXpounded.
The floor, conSecrated to the worship
of God by the knees of the devout, was
bcSprinkled with libations to the god OF
drunkenness.
The sanctuary of religion was turned
into All alehouSe. The walls of the
temple of Christianity re-echOed, not
the words of the Master, but the BIAS
phemous oathS of beer-besotted ward
heelers.
Let there be no mistake. This was
not done by Republicans merely, but
by William Henry Eustis personally.
He participated in it.
The Bible tells us that the Savior
dashed tie sacriligiOus merchants OF old
L., >I,,. Il NIL ri
wares in the temple. Compare their ac-
ton with that of William Henry Eustis
and his minionS last Tuesday evening.
The GLOBE has already called atten-
ton to the meat inspection BILL for the
passage of which William Henry Eus-
It's labored night and day with the leg
lslature of 1889, only to see the bill de-
clared unconstitutional. The GLOBE
has also printed the protest against the
passage Of that bill, the protest that
was signed by such good Minneapolis
Republicans as John Day Smith, Eu-
gene G. Hay, j. Nj. Underwood and
Henry Downs. One paragraph
in that outSpoken protest against
the scheme of William Henry
EUstiS deserves to sink into the
mind of every man who will east bal
lot week from today. 1t is this: The
farmers and cattle ralSerS OF this state
would receive no substantial or lasting
benefits from it (the bilD, and by it we
invite the closing of the markets of
other states against our cattle, sheep
and swine; seeking to break down one
monopoly we are building up another.
The result of the law will be to Increase
the cost of meat to the consumer, and
nynanciun Of tba f1rinn
necessities of life. Ii is one of the
boasts of our country that it is the only
place Oh the globe where the poorest
laborer may have meat OH his table 365
days III every year. and we cannot
consent 10 the passage OF a law the
utmost tendency Of which would be
to jeopardiZe this happy condition."
There it is in plain black and white.
William Henry EuStis, who now goes
about Minneapolis with stocking in
one hand and q bargain sale tin dinner
pail III the other, posing as the friend OF
the laboring man, stands charged by
the members of his own party with at
tempting to take meat from the tables
of the workingmen of Minneapolis.
1t is not strange that William Henry
Eustis should have tried to deprive the
workingman Of meat. lie belongs to
the class that has no sympathy for the
workingman. He is the servant of that
class. He has always worked for it.
He has never Indicated that he has
changed his mind.
The charge is plain. unequivocal, that
William Henry Eustis' meat inspection
bill would take the meat out of the
mouth of the Minneapolis workingman.
The charge is backed up by the facts.
That bill did raise the price Of meat
from three to five cents a pound. And
for the Increased price the consumer
received poorer quality of meat.
There was piece of the work of Will
lam Henry Eustis, 1.-THE friend of the
Iaboring man." The Workingman now
did not need meat as much as he and
his millionaire associates needed more
money.
What do we care whether the work
ingman has food so long as our millions
grow?" Is the creed of William Henry
Eustis and his associates.
