HERE'S A PALPABLE SHUB.
sKUfTERiSGS ON TIE EVE OF THE
M'KINLEY MEETING.
AIR FULL OF LIGHTNING


geance-Mayor Eustis Said to
Have Been Ignored and Turned
Downby the Goodnow Faction.
The evening preceding the Mckinley
meeting was laden with the mutterings
of diScord and discomfort among the
local adherents of the <. o. D., aud the
air was surcharged with lightning of
the bright red variety. AS before in
mated, a large-siZed row is imminent
among the ranks of the faithful, and
the appearance in Minneapolis of tine
little tin god of protection is likely to
create a disruption that will not easily
be bridged over. The racket is all over
the distribution of tickets, and after
waiting for 10, these many days with
the patience of the hungry office-seeker.
large army of ward-heelerS and Strik-
ers find themselves left out in the cold.
And the insult will be resented, or at
least it is likely to be if the curses
lOnd and deep are carried into effect.
In the first place, the members of the
local Republican ward and precinct
clubs asset that snap Judgment has
been taken against them, and that they
have been left out in the cold to the ad-
vantage of country delegates and Wis
ltors. The country throughout the state
was supplied with the handsome quota
of 1890 tickets, which left very light
picking for the st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis cOntingentS.
The cloud storm which has been gath
erlng for the past few days finally burst
yesterday, when it was given out that it
was doubtful If the ward or precinct
clubs Of Minneapolis would receive any
tickets. The delegates, 10 be sure,
would be taken care of, but the
rank and file. who had joined for the
very purpose of gaining admission and
participating in the proceedings. were
net to be i'll it. Then ii loud roar went
up. and from present indications it will
be continued with variations up to the
next election.
10 augment the trouble, the rumor
foateo over from st. Paul that num-
Der of tickets had been counterfeited,
and one well known Republican attor-
ney of the Sanity city is accredited
with having disposed of large number
of pastel,OardS al all the way FROM az. so
to $40 each.
The headquarters in Minneapolis were
beSleged all day yesterday by people
clamOring for tickets. and Messrs. Good
now and FUOte were fin3 lily compelled
to lock their doors. and none but the
few favored ones were admitted.
incidentally red-hot fights reported
between the John w. Goodnow and
Hennepin league faction and Mayor
Eustis and his cohorts. 1t is asserted
that the mayor and his friends have
been ignored. nay, absolutely turned
down, as TO the matter Of tickets and
har 10 ~ fc ynI,
to be war TO the knife.
