never be candidate for Office again.
ana that he regrets nothing connected
with this retirement more than that
he will be unable to be the friend, in
high place. which the boys well know
ne would have been. AS to EuStis,
among the letters received by the An
ti-Eustis club is one from a north post
containing the following reference to
Van SAINTS attitude:
"One Of the boys wrote to Comrade
Van SAINT about the Eustis matter and
asked him personally. in view of Capt
Van SAINTS speech, after his defeat in
the st. Paul convention. If he would
advise our comrades to vote for Eustis,
and the captain replied that that was
matter on which he could not give
personal advice, until he was Informed
on all the facts, but that he would say
that, If what he had been told was
true. he would not think that Eustis
would be very warm friend Of the
soldier, as governor"
Never more will the auburn tresses and
rubicund visage claim the attention Of the
speaker of the house. Never again will the
classic profile Of Henry Johns. be turned in
distain to the right of the house when the
member from Lac Qui Parle begins to tell
them how to cut down expenses Mr.. Johns
has finished his career in legislative circles
SO far as the lower house is concerned. 1t
was given out yesterday that John J. O'Con-
nor. formerly chief of detectives and the most
popular well as the strongest man po-
litically In the Fourth ward, would accept
the Democratic nomination for the legisla-
ture. which settles Mr.. Johns as effectualy
as though the election was already over. It
Is assumed that Johns can get the Republi-
can nomination. Whether he will want II
against John O'Connor remains to be seen.
Discretion is as well the better part Of po-
litioal valor as Of physical prowess. and Johns
may quit.
Mr.. O'Connor has personal following that
cannot be discounted in the Fourth. He
Knows every individual in the ward and even
Will acknowledge his ability. II he goes into
the legislature there will be no doubt but
that one ward in this city will be SO ade-
have hearing. The announcement of Mr..
OConnors candidacy was generally received
with a degree Of satisfaction that settles the
man could be nominated in every ward there
would be no danger from Republican land
slides.
Dennis NJ Sullivan has not been scared
off by the intimation that has been sent
out to the effect that no third teTmer need

the mail:

The appeals to the taxpayer" excited a
the Republican leaders who got hold of
copy OF the letter. and Mr.. Sullivan IL likely
to hear from some Of them about 1t. 1t was

tries to paddle his own canoe on the NC
Cardy plan. Republican who has some
standing in his party said OF the Sullivan
candidacy last night:
"He certainly has more nerve than gave
