THE HAPPlEsT MAN.

WILLIAM Henry Eustis Has Cause for
Congratuiatlon.
MINNEAPoLIs, June 7.- When the
Republican national convention opened
its first session in this city William
Henry Eustis was the happiest man
of all the thousands who are here, for he
it was who first suggested the possibility
sof having this great political event take
place in the Metropolis of the Northwest.
Early in May, 1891, Mr.. Eustis proposed
that an effort be made to secure the
Republican national convention for Min
neapolis, and ON June 5, 1891, the first
formal move was made to carry out his
suggestions, and at q meeting held in
the Union League rooms, committee
Of six was appointed to make what
might be termed a preliminary slxirmish
among leading citizens, and see what
could be done. A week later that COM
mittee recommended that a guarantee
fund be raised amounting to $50, ZOO.
Then the great task Of securing the con-
vention was undertaken in earnest.
Committees were made up to look after
every part of the work finances, hotels,
convention hall, and dozens of other
important matters. Meetings were FREE
quent, and everybody was enthusiastic.
The guarantee fund of s50, 900 was sub
scribed in very short time. About the
first of last November the leading Re-
publicans of st. Paul jumped in and
gave Minneapolis big lift, and then the
convention had to come and it did come,
and here it is in session today, taking the
first steps toward nominating candidates
for president and vice president Of the
Union of States, in which Minnesota is a
prosperous, proud and powerful member.
ST. PAUL, June 7.-At least two OF tine
big guns, politically and otherwise, who
attend the Republican national conven-
tion, will be entertained in this city.
Tuesday evening General Horace Porter,
president Of the National Society Sons Of
the American Revolution, and Chauncey
M. Depew, vice president, win be given
reception and banquet in this city. It
is intended to make this a very pleasant
affair, and the men who win have it in
charge are prominent and wealthy citi-
zens of st. Paul, who are also leading
members in the Society of Sons Of thu
American Revolution.

GIVES THEM COMFORT.
The Arrival OF Mckinley Braces Up the
Harrison Forces.

The Arrival Of Mckinley Braces Up the
Harrison Forces.
The arrival of Major Mckinley was a
source Of considerable satisfaction to the
other leaders OF the presidents cause,
who have been awaiting his advice and
counsel with some degree Of impatience
and who expect to profit by his personal
popularity and influence and his wide
acquaintance among the delegates.
Mckinley is relied upon to more than
overcome whatever Ohio influence un-
favorable to the presidents interests that
has or viii be exercised by Ex-Governor
Foraker, but this task he viii not find q
very difficult one, for Foraker, for the
first time since he wore a delegates
badge to national convention, seems to
have been lost in the crowd. So far
little has been seen Of him and less
heard. 1t was not until long after mid.
night that the Ohio special reached the
city, and Governor Mckinley had re-
tired some time before, leaving explicit
orders that he was not to be disturbed
by politicians or any one else. He was
UP early, and with a dozen of the
Ohioans he walked up to the West hotel
shortly after a. m. He ate hurried
breakfast and retired to his room, where
in a few minutes T.. r. Michener oi
Indiana called TO confer with him about
the situation.

MINNEAPOLIs, June 4. The Michigan

1t will be remembered that L. l..
Livingston, the democratic alliance
congressman from Georgia-the man
who fought the third party move
ment so bitterly at the st. Louis con-
vention is the same fellow who intro
duced into congress resolution to
the effect that the alliance was en-
titled to sympathy. The laborers
and producers in this country have
subsisted upon sympathy and kin
dred fodder many a long year, and
yet this democratic combine man is
willing to sink himself in the pool of
disgrace by advocating that this re-
form movement, with all of it's grand
measures of relief and sound doctrine
shall be coupled onto the tail end Of
the democratic party and so lose
it's individuality and purpose. But

ing and disintegrating society that
they are afraid to be left alone in the
dark, and like many another curse it
has come home to roost. They know
there is q world wide discomfort
among the wage earners and wealth
producers. And it is q matter OF
grave conjecture with the lordly
ones, as co how much longer the
bread winners, and the affected
classes will stand by as spectators,
and see the masters of ceremonies
revel in ease and luxury. How long
ere the masses will make the master
stroke to free themselves from the
political Vaccinations through whose
bastard legal forms they have been
permitted to TAKEN the peoples sub
stance. These men of gold guard
their portals and gate ways, with
clubs and bullets against the robbed
and oppressed of this free nation
the unprotected poor who are made
desperate by their oppressors-in a
land where poverty is crime and
i'll gotten gain is not reproach to
the holder.

A bill is being pushed in the New
York legislature, by the men who
were drafted in that state, to have
the $500 which they paid for their
release, refunded to them. There are
about 5000 who were hoping for the
passage of the bill. The Empire
state stay-at-home patriots have
developed a mine of courage-or
brass-which would do honor to a
worthier cause. One of the 'shome
Guards" should amend that bill so
sto include the interest on the three
hundred dollars for thirty years.
tits not strange that these brave
men who were allowed to escape all
the dangers and horrors of war, the
hardships and deprivations of home
comforts, and the privilege OF remain
ing where they could attend to their
business and enjoy the society OF
friends, mot at all strange that they
should ask for q reimbursement OF
their alleged losses. Especially as
the poor substitutes who filled their
quota probably passed beyond the
tide of time during the great strug-
gle. But it is feared that the bill will
be killed in it's infancy-for the boys
who did the work (G. A. R's) do not
fall in with the petition.

The editor of the Renville Union
states that 500 bonds we're payable
at the option of the government aft
er years and before twenty. With
out looking the matter up in our
campaign haste, we suggest he is mis-
taken. After 5 years and within 20
the option is with the "holder" of the
bond-and after 20 the government
can compel! But the national bank
ing system has not depended for life
on the date of a bond. The bonds
have been "monkeyed' for the ma
tional banker on seven distinct oc-
casions-twice in violation of the law
notably last September. The 81
millions due last September are con-
tinued ''indefnitely," and without
the aid of the courts to declare the
continuance REASONABLE they can
never be forced into redemption by
the government!

A writer in the Renville Co. Union
says, of the National Bank:
"a man invests 100000 in ma
tional bonds, then he swaps the
bonds for $4,000 worth OF blank
national bank notes, which he signs,
ETC."
Great Caesar! Has it come to this?
We hope that the Renville- Union
Bowler hallucination as to ''gift or
use" of national money has not
spread ignorance as a kind of leprosy
through that country!! Swap!
Where was Moses when the candle
went out?
Why, Mister Republican, the man
don't "swap'' away his bonds. He
owns those bonds yet-and he gets
his interest just the same. And they
and the notes are free from taxation
just the same. And he can order
them home at any moment!

The Voice, of New York, the mouth
piece of the national prohibition par
ty, and by far the strongest and
most uncomfortable enemy of the
liquor traffic in this country, a jour.
nal that is interchangeable in energy
and most unanswerably edited along
its special line, has taken a position
in regard to certain planks in the st.
Louis platform which was hardly
looked for from that source. Its
sympathies in this case do not reach
the downtrodden, mortgage ridden
toilers and oppressed of this nation,
but is seemingly in perfect accord
with Wall Street, the oddities, the
bloated bond holder and the usurious
money shark. 1t opposes the sub
treasury plan, the free coinage OF sill
yer and the government ownership
and operation of railroads. The
Voice in thus antagonizing the essen
tial reform measures cannot be
looked upon as true friend OF the
.iaboring and producing classes.
