STANDS FOR KENYON
WILLIAM HENRY EUSTIS WILL
KEEP THAT WORTHY If
HE CAN
THAT is, IF HE IS ELECTED

Glad Tidings, Too, and They Will

form" Idea Has About Vanished
From the Steele Committee
Republicans Are Scared.
When William Henry Eustis started
out in this campaign, it was with loud
and oft-proclaimed resolutions that he
would have nothing whatsoever to do
with the machine" which word is
put in quotation marks In Difference to
those wise and patriotic statesmen of
the Republican faith who declared that
there was not never had been and
never would be such a profane and I'M
cody thing in the Republican party.
The most Objectionable part of the
so-Called machine, and the part that
needed the greatest amount of defense,
was that part set off and dedicated to
the uses of one Moses D. Kenyon, 9TH
erWiSe the department of bank inspect
ing.
A short time ago Hon. John Lind
had occasion, in one of his numerous
addresses before a large audience in
Oic III the HOTuHSfn CLUES, TO refer, III
passing to the fact, that some hun
dreds of people in various parts of the
state, and particularly in the city OF
st. Paul, were hundreds of thousands
of dollars out of pocket by reason OF
the rankneSs of the conduct Of this
department.
The next seen, heard or known OF
William Henry Eustis he was vigor-
OUsly engaged in defending the conduct
OF the said bank inspection depart
ment, and the papers that. are and
have been set apart to his defense IN
the matter of the Guaranty Loan, the
Minneapolis hOspitaIs-well, call it site,
then-the abuse of old soldiers and the
lumber deals in which Mr. Eustis did
not lose, and a whole lot Of working
men did, were tugging away at the
bitter rag Of Mr.. Kenyon's record and
doing the best they could to show that,
if he were only given another chance,
he would do better
These citations tend to show one
thing, and show it so plainly that the
wayfaring man, though a Republican,
may read as he runs. And that thing
is that William Henry Eustis, he Of
the trembling voice and prolific prom
Use, is just the same old machine over
aga1n-the same old machine that Wa
have been told so often did not and
never could exist. If Mr.. Eustis does
not propose to continue the Services
OF the astute Mr.. Kenyon, why does he,
ana why do his organs, rush so fran
tcally to the defense OF the depart
ment that has been under fire SO long
that the paint is all singed off the
roof?
Does any one doubt for a minute, in
the light Of these developments, that, if
Mr.. Eustis is elected, Mr.. Kenyon will
continue the cursory and casual "in-

ana 1t was the same thing over again
in the grain inspection department
too. That department has also been
more or less under fire, and Mr.. Eustis
had given his promise that there
should also be a reform there. The
BLUM was so strong that the hundred
or so employees Of the department be-
gan to stampede. They said if they
had to lose their jobs it was just about
as bad to lose them under a Repub-
lican as under a Democrat. and thew
said it right out loud, too Indeed, they
said 1t so loud that it was heard clear
over to Republican headquarters That
was two or three weeks ago, and since
that time there has been a very gen.
erous and general attendance of grain
inspection employees at those head
quarters. And you haven't heard Will
liam Henry making any recent boasts
of what he was going to do with the
Minneapolis grain inspectors, have
you? And you haven't heard the Min

and serve notice on him that the only
way he can hold his job under the new
machine is to do the same kind of
work for it that he had been in the
habit Of doing for the old. All the
professions of reform have been mere
idle talk to scare somebody who was
t1mid and foolish enough to take stock
in that feeble bluff about turning the
rascals out"
Those whose memories serve to carry
them back to the time when Eustis
