William BlaiSdell. Esq.-My Dear Sir:
received your kind letter upon my re-

found time to answer until now.
Nothing would please me better than
to be in Minnesota this fall and take a
hand in the approaching political fight.
But, my good friend, am so tied up in
private business that do not see how
can get away. l am receiving many
fattering letters from nv friends in
Minnesota, urging Inc to return and be-
come candidate for mayor or congress.
My business engagements are such,
however, that l must decline the use of
my name as candidate for any Office.
Ii l could spare the time, l would be
glad to return and take the stump for
the purpose of aiding in turning down
the gang of thieves who have been and
are now devouring the people. Purge
your Judiciary of corporation lawyers.
Very truly yours. A. A. AMEs.

THIRD WARD DEMOCRATS,
A Thousand OF Them Listen t.
Political Speeches..

k0Oitacal SpeecneS.
There was meeting in Hunts hall,
on Plymouth avenue. of the Third Ward
Democratic and Social club. fully 1000
people being in attendance. The speak
ers were P. B. Winston. j. N. Williams
and D. T. Erickson. A call was made
for President Kiichli, of the council, but
he modestly declined the honor.
Mr.. Williams called the au-
dience's attention to the fact
that another campaign was approaching
and said that it behooved them as
voters to study the issues and the prin-
ciples of the parties. He referred to
national politics by censuring the senate
for its inactiOn in regard to the Wilson
bill. He also took occasion to arrai IN
Brlce and German In a manner not
wholly complimentary to those gentle
men. Then he spoke of local Issues,
and referred to the good work accom-
plished by MIR. Kiichli as president of
the council.
MIR. Kiichli, he said, had made a
splendid fight. and W as still makingit
against corporations and for the laboring
men and the city's interest at large.
Mr.. Winston touched briefly upon local
politics. and In speaking of the Wilson
bill said the senate should pass it. The
passing of it. he said, would conduce to
the betterment of the country and the
people. lnasmuch as 1t would tend to
quiet the unre st and chaotic condition
of business.
o. I. Erickson, in brief, dwelt upon
the municipal ownership of street rail-
ways. telephones, electric lighting and
gas plants, and the taxing of all rail-
road lands. He did not believe in
granting franchises to corporations, but
maintained that the city should have
control of the operation of business
necessary for the furtherance of public
welfare and commerce.

Mr.. EUSTIS DRAWS OUT.
He IS NOT A CANDIDATE F0R RE-
NOMINATION As MdY0R,
WOULD PASS 1T AROUND.

And at the Expiration of His Term
He Will Rest on His Laurels-
A Rig Scramble on the Part OF
the Go ID and Faithful to Fill
His Shoes-Some OF the Candi-
dates.
In an interview yesterday Mayor
Eustis gave it out cold that he will not
be candidate for denomination as
mayor of Minneapolis, and after the eX-
plration of his present term he expects
to enjoy the Arcadian bliss and sweet
repose of private life.
In response to queries. he said:
al do not want, and have not the
slightest desire for q denomination 10
this office, and do not want ii offered TO
me-"
Would you accept it if it was ten
dered you?"
Il think the question is already an
swered. My term of office will expire
IN January, and by that time the full
statistics will be ready TO offer the pub
lie concerning the work of the present
administration. And l am Of the opin.
ion that the statistics will be an in
dorsement of the present policy. The
public will then have chance to say
whether or not it wants continuation
of the same policy under new mayor.
l am of the belief that the office of
mayor is an office which should be
handed about. 1t gives every one
taste of how the thing works."
"What is the reason that you do not
desire to be mayor again? Is it because
the reformers have showed such en-
ergy?'
"Oh, no. they do not bother me.
have enjoyed my office, and have been
happy in the conscientious fultillment
of ny duties. as see them. l think it
is only necessary to say that DO not de.
sire the office again, and that l believe
in passing it around"
The woods are full of gentlemen who
would like to hole down the soft seat
occupied by Mayor Eustis. and now
that the latter Is out of the race great
scramble will take place among the
truly good and faithful.
Among the probable candidates men,
toned as available" are A. j. Board
man, A. j. Blethen, G. P. Lowell, E. Nj.

1T PROVED AN ELEPHANT.
Proposed Sale of the Exposition
Building to the CITY.


Building to the City.
A meeting of the board of directors of
the exposition was held yesterday morn
ing. at which c. A. Chute submitted
a proposition which has in view the sale
of the property 20 the city at reduced
rate, and on reasonable terms.
The project was favored by the board
and the committee appointed, consist
ing of I. B. Janney, B. r. Nelson, c. A.
Chute, G. P. Lowell, W. J. Dean and
William NJ. Regain. They will present
the matter to the council tomorrow
night.
For several years the exposition has
been running behind. The stockholders
have building worth at cost. $3.50, 600,
and the land worth perhaps $3.50. 900. The
debts aggregate at present $4,000, and
will be $1,000 larger in few months. 1t
is desired TO have these debts assumed,
and il is the idea of the board that if the
city will do this il should have the first
chance at the property. 1t is supposed
that the city might use the property in
some scheme of municipal development,
and the market house scheme finds
favor with nearly all Of the parties in
terested.

twenty rounds, but Danforth lasted but
seven. and, considering his age and the

The contest was on Its merits and
