The election has been gone over two
months, and the municipal Inauguration
was an event of two weeks ago. The
new administration is in control of both
branches of the municipal government,
legislative and executive. Usually
these conditions bring peace, security,
the enioyments of the fruits of victory
to the triumphant. Among the Repub-
licans of Minneapolis, on the contrary,
nil the figuring, planning and wire-pull-
ing Of ante-election days, and all the
quarreling OF ante convention days,St!ll
obtains. The Republicans won the city
election, but they are sorry for 1t.
The complaints beng uttered by the
workers Of the party are directed, III the
first place. against the new mayor.
William Henry Eustis may make good
mayor. So far he has been rather SLOW,
but he may come out all right Time
popular with his own party. Will
lam Henry refuses to accept
word of advice from anybody. lie was
elected, and there his connection with
the Republican party ended he seems to
think. The wrepullerS who liked
this, that and the other element and
doubtful precinct are receiving no recog-
milton. The men who think they are
entitled TO recognition as mem
beers of an advisory committee,
kitchen cabinet to the mayor,
are neglected. Their suggestions
are unheeded; their requests for favor
fall upon deaf ears. Needless to say,
the workers don't like it. They nomi-
mated and elected Mr.. Eustis, and they
think they should have word to say i'll
shaping the policy Of the adminlstra-
ton. %hiS soreness over the neglect of
the new mayor is not confined to few
of 1.-THE boys" 1t applies to the mem
bers of the city committee. In shaping
his course Mayor Eustis has completely
ignored the campaign committees,
whose members did all the ante-electioD
work.
Then. there is the council. "The
council will be Republican," was the,
mornings after election. But the coun-
cll is not Republican. 1t is simply a
council, that's all. On organization it
was partially Republican for little
while. l he Republican workers are
Disguised with the action of the Repnb-
licans of the council. These have
widened the ante-electOn splits
which, it was hoped, two years
of careful council manipulation would
close. These splits mean, primarily, of
course, the conditions existing in the
Eighth and Eleventh wards. The in
suits offered Miner and SkoOg will
rankle in the minds of those gentlemen.
They cannot be brought to work with
the Republicans in this council, AMI in
the election of 1894 they will reopen the
fight of 1892
Political secrets leak out sooner or
later. In the case of the city council, it
is now an assured fact that the Repub-
licans had planned to cut the Threats OF
Miner and Skoog anyhow. They wanted
the independents to vote with them on
organization, intending i'll the end to
beat them out Of the coveted street Gem
mssionerships. After the slate was
broken the Republicans threw the
blame upon Miner and Skoog, and tried
to excuse, on that ground, their treach-
cry to Miner and Skoog. That neither
of these gentlemen broke the slate has
been settled by their own declarations.
Woodward and Bradish are now
said to be the Republicans who
broke the council slate. BradiSh is
pointed out as the man who first went
back on Cooley and started the break in
favor OF Cappelen. He wanted revenge
for losing the presidency. Woodward
certainly had hand in defeating HaZen,
the other Republican knocked out. So
did McAllisler. McAlliSter is said to
have admitted that he voted for Gilman
for building inspector. This is what
Woodward did.
Woodward was a teller in the organi-
cation of the council. He directed a
brother Republican TO prepare his bal
lot for every officer until building in
spectOr was reached. Then he said:
"l'll fix my own ballot this time" Evil
IDENTITY he did.
The appointment of the assistant city
attorneys has caused trouble. l.. A.
Dunn was persona non grata to a large
number OF Republicans. That was the
way Simpson regarded him, too, it is
said on reliable authority. Simpson
didn't want him. He just had TO take
him to save his own chestnuts. 1t would
be little hard on Mr.. Dunn to repeat
all that has been said about him by Re-
publicans, even by his chief. But he
has his office, and there you are.
This is but a brief outline of the
troubles in the camp Of the Republican
administration. The fur will fly yet.
