| SIVe Age, one OF the mOSL OulSpOkeH
Prohibition papers in the country, and
always unsparing in It's denunciation of
the liquor traffic and the saloon power,
says of the circular signed by the min
listers at the behest of the monopolist
! leaders:
A Disreputable Attack.
Perhaps one of the most dastardly at
tempts at cOWardly innuendO ever made
! by political party was perpetrated by
the Republican machine against Judges
Canty and Buck, of this state. In this
| disreputable undertaking, ministers Of
the gospel have been seduced from
their high vocation TO such an extent
! that they submit to be made the soul
| less HeSSians of a foul conspiracy
against reputable men. We refer to
| the letter published by the Scandinavian
ministers, appealing to their co-relgion-
lists to vote for the nominees of the Re-
| publican party. We would not object
| to them making an appeal for the
men Of their choice, if they had
not tried in that most desplcable
| way-thc way of the coward-to be-
| smirch the characters of the opponents
of their chosen candidates. Such meth
eds have the tone and color and spirit
! of the assassin. Like the document
| sent out blythe Prohibition committee,
| it is a stab and skIlking retreat, and
carries on It's face, in its very lines, evil
dence which should bring to it swift
condemnation. Judges Canty and Buck,
than whom there are 10 more honorable
men in our state, are attacked by a
political committee. That committee,
under the dictation of MIR. Lowry and
Mr. Hill, representing the mighty and
growing power Of corporate monopoly,
planned this shameful attack. In the
bar room Of the West hotel, Mr.. Lowry,
Mr.. Bracket and Mr.. Murphy, of the
Tribune. met at 1:S0 p.- m. Tuesday
last, and made their plans for this attack
upon Judges Canty and Buck. 1t is a
last despei ate effort of the great cor
DUratiOnS to maintain their Titan grip
upon the throatS of the supreme bench
! of this state. 1t is an effort to destroy
| the men whom 10 man, 10 monopoly,
no corporation can control. For this
| great reason these men are made the
| object of hateful vilitication. Who dare
attempt to prove that Judges Canty and
| Buck are the legal servants OF the
liquor traffic?' What reason have these
men tor their inSinuatiOnS? Why lam
| pooh good citizens without producing
! These men are very careful to inSinu-
ate that their opponents are the SER
wants Of the liquor traffic, but they de-
cline TO state that they are aiding and
| abetting the men who have nominated
| ID. NJ. ClOugh, one of the most pro-
nOunced advocates and defenders of the
saloon IN this State-n0mnated him for
the high Office of lieutenant governor.
They lend themselves to the manipula-
tons of class Of men who crack glasses
over their parVenuiSh cooperation and
plan between drinks how the people
shall be crushed. What consistency!
We repeat our challenge of last
week; we dare any committee or
any individual TO subStantiate the
charge inSinuated against these men.
If these men can produce any evidence
they were fools not to do it. If they
have published this document without
proof dOubly fortified, they merit the
Reader. analyze this document. Note
that it Is a tissue of jacobinish asser-
tons, without even all attempt at proof.
1t is an unmanly document foStered by
all INSCRIPTIONS political cabal, and cir
culated by a mercenary press. Set
upon 1t the seal OF your condemnation,
and support the meH whom monopoly,
bigOtry and Out-toWerlng persecution
seek to destroy.
The local Republican committee had
fit yesterday and vomted up an adj
dress to voters. The address is COM
posed of about 5000 words and attempts
to mislead the people as to the issues of
the campaign.
This address begins with long argu-
ment for the Mckinley tariff. The
prosperity of Minneapolis is cited as
one of the Mckinley ideas of protec-
ton. AS If Minneapolis industries were
affected by the Mckinley tariff, with
the exception of the woollen mill where
girls have to work for $3.50 a week, and
the linen mill, of which no one has
heard of since it was established. The
Democratic party is abused, of course,
| for down the Democrats" is the
strongest argument the Republicans
| have adduced in this campaign. An
attempt is also made to SANDER some of
| the leaders of the party IN Minnesota,
| but the ISLANDERS are beneath notice.
| Knute Nelson is lauded as a veritable
| Moses. loren Fletcher is praised, his
record in the legislature is commended
and the statement is made that "aS a
representative in congress he may be
| relied upon to match his own record"
Fletcher's record, the same one the
Republican managers commend, was
| printed i'll the GLOBE yesterday morn
ing. 1t cannot be denied If Fletcher
| makes another record like that he will
probably be mobbed by an outraged
public.
OF course Judges Canty and Buck are
abused, and a hypocritical pretense is
made that the Republican party is op-
posed to bringing the Judiciary into
| politics.. Two years ago the Republic
ans of Hennepin county insisted upon
dragging the Judiciary into politics, and
the result was benefit to the bench Of
the Fourth district. Judge CAVITY was
elected two years ago when the Judi
CARY was dragged into politics." and
he has been such a good judge that the
supreme court has been unable to re-
verse more than two of his decisions.
One OF his decisions, one that stands, an
Interpretation of the lien law, was pIac-
tically reversal of former decision
or the supreme court.
The address closes with ga final
word" and the final word is to the eff
feet that ''the issues are grave" This
final Word' is refreshing, coming at
the close of a 5,000-word effusion in
which not word is said about the
issues-the contest between right and
might, between the rights of the people
and the privileges of the monopolsts.
Two years ago the stomach of Mime
apolis revolted and threw up the vile
mess that had been forced down it's
throat under the name of police com
mission" This year, il William Hen
ry Eustis will be elected, the stomach
of Minneapolis must receive again the
same old mess il once expelled. Eus-
tbs has arranged to make Winn Brack-
EFT and Mike Hoy part of the police de-
pal tment again, and the methods of
these two, more than those of all
others, served 10 make the regime of
the police commission odious.
i ! GU will notice that the Republican
