to your Cooperation. Not as q matter Of
favor to us or our candidates. 1t is OF very
little difference to you. and of equally small

PAUL QUEHL is MUM
REFUSES TO Make ANY ExPIANA-
TION ABOUT HIS OFFICIAL
WORK
He MIGHT SAY A GOOD DEAL

The Disclosure as to the Re-
ports on the Decker Property
to the County Assessor Caused q
Good Deal of Comment as Well
as Much Surprise.
The figures published in The G o e
yesterday showing the returns made
by Commissioner Paul Quehl to the as
SCISSOR as to the personal property in
possession Of the Adam Decker COM
pany in 1897 and 1898 created much
comment. Taken in connection with
the statement made to the commercial
agency Jan. 1, 1898, by Mr.. Quehl, the
ngures certainly show a wide variance
or range.
10 the assessor In May, 1897, Mr.
Quehl, who is a member of the firm Of
Adam Decker & Co., reported that the
value Of the personal property of the
firm was $7,755.
In May, 1898. to the same official, Mr.
Quehl returned the value of the per-
sonaa property of the firm as $10,125
To the commercial agency Jan. 1.
1888, Mr.. Quehl, reported that the value
OF the personal property owned by the
firm was $66151.62
During the time that these reports
were made, both to the assessor and
the commercial agency, Mr. Quehl was
member of the board Of county COM
missioners. He was also, thanks to the
d1scernment of once Mayor Doran, a
member Of the board of equalization.
AS member of the equalization board
he was loud in his denunciation of the
mercantile firms who, he claimed, were
endeaVoring to shirk taxes by making
returns of stock below the real value
or the same. His argument at that
time was that the valuation should be
In each instance raised in order that
the small personal property taxpayer
might be protected. In this he sue
ceeded, but 1t is noticeable that while
he insisted on other firms being raised
ne kept the firm he was interested in
safe from any raise on It's stock, as the
figures show.
Seen yesterday and asked if he had
any explanation to make as to the fig
ures as published in The Globe Mr..
Quehl studied moment and inquired,
How did you get those figures from
the commercial agency?"
Were the figures not correct ?" asked
the reporter.
We'll" replied Mr.. Quehl, "there Is
considerable that could be said in ex-
PLANTATION, but I do not care to discuss
the matter at this time. Perhaps at a
later day l may have something to
say"

MAKES A VICTORY
Continued From First Page.

II EOMA ITBL rage
a successful conclusion The war was not
war of the Republican party nor war of
the Democratic party. it was not a war Of
the administration. The people of America
have witnessed the butchery of Christians in
Armenia by the ferocious Turks; they had
seen England for centuries, trying to crush
out Irish nationality; they have seen opium
forced upon the Chinese with cannon; they
nave witnessed the treatment of the inhabi-
tants or the island Of San Domingo and wit
messed the butchery of the patriots by the
Span1ards, and the cruelty of men towards
women and children, and public opinion
could be no longer withstood. (AppIause0
And when war was declared the American
people, through their representatives of all
parties in congress. voted a defense fund of
$oooOo'OeO' and then the stamp tax and then
the bond issue of s400, 000, 00O and the ad-
ministration had more money that it could
use.
NOT A PARTY WAR
When the call came for volunteers, did
they want to know what the men of this
or that nationality would do, or should do?
Amongst those responding to the call, was
one man coming from foreign land. spring
Ing from foreign race, with a loving home
surrounded by a happy family, who left all
this for the purpose of enduring the priva-
tons of the soldier, and who is now in our
midst-our candidate for governor-John
Lind. Great applause.)
And what was the part of the administra-
ton under these circumstances, with all this
blow and with all this money? The part
OF the administration to promote officers like
Sampson and Shafter over deserving SOL
diers and sailors, to pack our volunteers in
crowded ships and camps and leave them
there to the administration Of veterinary sur
geons? The Fifteenth regiment was kept at
the fair grounds for three weeks so that the
typhoid fever had become epidemic, at a
place where was no pure water when tel
egram from the war department at Washing
ton would have sent them to Fort Smelling
and saved the lives Of dozens of our brave
soldier boys. The first and the best work
was done by Dewey, the Democrat at tha
port Of Manila, and he was able to do that
work because the cable was cut and the
war department at Washington could not
interfere with him. (Applause.)
We say that the time has come in the state
Of Minnesota to stop this coercion; we say
that the time has come to have equal tax
alton; we say that the time has come in
the state of Minnesota to break this cor
rupt machine, which has existed for forty
years; for the people Of Minnesota to re-
buke the evil influences which for forty
years, every day Of the year, and every hour
of the day, have been exacting tariff from
the energy Of the common people Of the
state OF Minnesota

hortation to Remember the Maine and

Oar does not really care whether
they vote for Eustis or not, but he dare
not tip his hand, because after feeding
at the public crib for so long, he is

any candidate or any constituency.
But the people Of the state are get

no doubt a fully justified notion that
officials ought to attend to their pub
lie duties first, and officeseeking and
miscellaneous spellbinding second, or
last. This Idea Is going to be q factor
in cutting down Reese's ambition, and
the chances are for the next few years
he will have to live on what he has
been able to save out Of his paltry
$4,000 per annum for the last four
years.

MIR. HUBERT EXPLAINS.

And the Democrats Rejoice, So
Lame Are His Pleas.
Elevator Hubert, of Minneapolis, Re-
publican candidate for city treasurer in
Minneapolis, has taken a hand at ex-
planning for Eustis, when his time Gould
be better employed, for his own bene-
fit, in answering the charges of Capt.
Wlhitcomb, through The G 10 b e and
other papers, that he Is the self-same
Hubert who conducted the chief rob-
berries Of the Minneapolis Millers' asso-
citation.
Elevator Hubert tackles the city hos
pital steal and gives Mr. Eustis the
certificate that from examination of
the files in the Office of Haugan's sue
ceSSor, he finds stubs and checks show
ing that the money paid on that deal
to Bracket was paid by him to 9TH
ers than w. H Eustis. This is exact
ly like the denials of Eustis being a.
Guaranty Loan director. for no one has
yet been able to show that part Of the
deal, but the charge was not and has
never once been met, that Eustis. as
mayor and member of TIE board of cor,
rections and charities, permitted the
deal to go through by which Bracket
sold Minneapolis 100000 worth of sun
posedly clear property and a mortga ge
OF $4,000 turned UP on It, 1t was a
question of administration, and Fustis
never escaped, for Bracket himself,
when criticised, fell back on the decla-
ration, now part of the MINNEAPOLIS
city records, that Eustis knew ali about
and approved the whole deal.
Elevator Hulbert's defense ia m q
par with the defense of the Minneapolis
attorneys, who write that Eustis was
not stakeholder in the Guaranty Loan
when the charge and proof is that he
was for nearly all, if not the whole life
of the swindles, director Of the or
ganiZation.
The explanation of Hubert is like
that Of Eustis as to the Guaranty Loan
1t doesn't explain. Smith rushed into
print, and others for him. denying that
he performed certain functions for
Sage. The charge was that Mr.. Smith
was the attorney of Sage in ousting
the settlers from the Sage lands and
the Hastings Dakota land grant grab

date for lieutenant governor is prop
erly placed on par with the Guaranty

Address of the County Committee
Was Adopted Without Dissent.

ADDRESS OF the county COmm1ttee
Was Adopted Without Dissent.
The following address, presented by
Humphrey Barton, was adopted with
q rousing chorus:
To the Voters Of Ramsey County, Mime
sofa:
At this date in our campaign we are again
forced to notice q political scramble for the
positions on our district bench.
We now feel 1t is time that something
more be done to elevate the judiciary above
such q condition of affairs, and to do our
utmost to prevent its recurrence at future
elections.
To that end we call ON all voters, of what
ever political utilization, to aid In the election
of James C. Michael and George L. Bum,
thereby preserving equality between the
parties upon the district bench.
We pledge ourselves in the next and In
all coming campaigns to use our best ef-
forts to continue the equality between the
parties upon the district bench as guar
antee of which we offer the history Of our
conduct in that respect.
We ask the voters of this Judicial dis
trict to aid US in continuing and perpetual
ing the standard so long maintained in this
county, and which has for a generation
met the universal approval of the people
and the bar.
We must do that which is right, notwth-
standing that the recent Republican conven-
ton may have erred in this particular.

Perhaps the Voters Detected the

The Minneapolis Tribune's series of
reasons for voting the Republican
ticket paused at the sixthly, the c. A.
Smith Lumber company, whose en-
ployes are said to stand two to one for
Lind. OF the five other concerns cited
as exceedingly prosperous, three are
lumber concerns, one a glass and one a
sash and door concern. The latter
showed fewer men employed than two
years ago, when 1t was made the black

glass concern has not been assisted at
all by the glass trust, raising prices

Clausen, the man behind the gun, is

he will die fighting

for the readers of The G l OBJ e to I'M
derstand more fully just how close Will
liam Henry Eustis stands to the grain
and elevator interests, which are the
ones that grew rich at the expense OF
the farmers, and which are SO satisfied
with Clausen. 1t was these interests
which beat Gov. Clough in Hennepin
county and which helped to success
fully fo1st EuStis on the Republican
party as its candidate for governor.
The elevator men are all members OF
the Eustfs family, many of them be-
Ing tenants Of his Minneapolis proper

they are mixed up. The interests OF

Clausen went for Judge Steele and that
other representative of the old machine
and it's methods, John S. Vandiver,
political editor of the Dispatch.
Clausen told them he was tired of
this campaign of excuses and denials.
Vandiver, with all the schooling that
Bixby and the BiXby politicians have
given him, is not a political coward.
He agreed with Clausen that six weeks
had been spent in trying to deny and
hide the Objectionable points of the
record of Eustis and the breaks that
had been made by the men in charge
of the Eustis movement"

Judge Steele was willing to follow

A C. Clausen has stepped out in ths

The G o b e a few days ago exposed
the fact that he, the head Of the grain
inspection bureau. was also the man
behind the gun in the Eustis move
ment," Clausen came to the conclusion
that it was useless to keep shady any
longer. The country was on. He con-
cluded then and there to take the bull
by the horns, the bull being the grain
rings creatures or the men who airs
