Mr.. Rogers attention was called to
the clause referring to the ernoluments
or the Office yesterday. He said:

were not nearly so large as had been
said. People used to talk about the

that if elected governor he would serve
the state just as he had served Mime
apolis as mayor. This assurance opens
possibilities for disaster to Minnesota
Which the voters of the state will never
FISK FOR moment. From this on
may be expected redoubled efforts by
the people who know the whole record
to make sure that William Henry does
not succeed.
That unsaVOry record!
The. salient points are we'll before the
people. But there has almost escaped
notice one phase Of that record relating
to Mr.. Eustis' dealing with the law
breakers known as gamblers and keep
ers of disorderly houses. On this point
Mr.. Eustfs, in his prediction canvass,
had made great promises. He would
enforce all the laws and ordinances.
and especially with regard to disorderIy
places. 1t only requires reference to
the records Of the city council itself to
see how we'll he did not keep this
pledge. Even his party associates
could not keep him to his pledge and
his official oath.

ION had a very disastrous effect so far
as the ticket generally was concerned
and something must be done.
Attention was called to the fact that
Ed Rogers had used up all of his time
at the last two meetings trying to prove
that he had nothing to do with the
matter, and that his explanation was
satisfactory so far as he personally was
concerned, and won some applause
from the people present. 1t was
thought that If all the candidates would
make the same plea people generally
might be mollified-as things stood tho
Repu blicanS stood in grave danger Of
losing the votes Of a good many fair
minded voters. A few of the members
justified the action of the men who
We're responsible for the action of Sam
Anderson, claiming that everything was
fair in politics, and that If the Demo-
Gratis could have been shut out from a
place on the ballot altogether it would
be better for ali concerned and the
party could afford to take the conse-
quences. 1t was finally resolved that
the speakers should ON every occasion
deny the responsibility of the party or
ganization for the action Of the county
attorney.
The matter of Irish attempting to
get George +. Wagner in the field was
quite another affair. A number of the
members of the committee said that
they had advised against it, and it was
decided that nothing should be done In
the matter Of denial, either on the
stump or through the papers.
Another important matter taken up
was the question of the attack made
by the Democrats on the extravaganza
involved in the administration Of the
county Offices. The particular case
considered was that cited by Mr.. Bar,
ton in his speech at the Democratic
meeting. 1t was decided that no reply
should be made until something fur
Their had been developed as to the eff
feet of the Democratic attack.
The balance of the time of the COM
mittee was taken up with considering
the matter of registration and a sys-
tematic canvass for voters to register
was planned for next Tuesday.

FULLER'S DEMOCRACY
Has Most to Do With Henry and Eis
Relatives.

The inwardness Of the deal whereby
Henry Fuller's Democracy was brought
to the front this fall is becoming
known. Mr.. Fuller is wise in his gem
Grafton. He has ambitions that leap
to the office of chief in the engineer's
department, and if he can prove that
he materially assisted in the defeat of
any of the Democratic candidates this
fall, he would make some progress in
that direction. He is doing the best
he can for the members of his own
family at the same time Fuller is
the nephew of Gates A johnson Sr..
and his secondary object in putting a
ticket in the field this fall-aside from
helping the Republicans generally-is
to provide for a split in the vote on
county surveyor and thereby secure the
election of Gates Johnson. That he
overplayed the limit he generally keeps
on himself is due to the fact that he
put uD the job on John Irvine, who
is in the city engineers office and who
is very much more popular than Henry
thought him to be.

The Republican Executive Commit
tee Doesn't Like His Pitching.
At the meeting Of the executive COM
m1ttee Of the Republican county COM
mittee yesterday afternoon there was
something of row. It started over
the disagreement of some members Of
the committee with the style Of politics
inaugurated by George Irish in at,
tempting to hire a man named Wagner
TO run on the Independent ticket and
the other break made by the people
who were responsible for the objection
to the Democrats being given a place
according to the rights of the candi-
dates on the ballot The affair OF
George Irish was found fault with, not
SO much because of the effort he had
made, but because of the fact that he
permitted himself to be found out The
other matter was considered to be the
more serious Of the two.
The matter came up on motion that
the campaign speakers be instructed to
explain to all audiences their connec.
ton With the decision that was made
by County Attorney Anderson, requir-
ing petitions from the Democrats. The
trouble started at once. Several of the
members thought If an attempt was
made to explain the candidates would
by that very act take the responsibility
for the decision, and eXpla nations in
that case would be useless. 1t was
conceded by everybody that the decis.

Herchmer Johnston notified a half
hundred voters of the Ninth ward at
Hedman's hall last evening that the
only way the Republican ticket could
be elected this fall was by hard work
Victory, he said, was not assured and
those who thought the entire ticket
would be elected knew little about the
situation.
Comptroller McCardy informed the
meeting that in 1899 the city interest
account would be reduced $40 per day
but il the Democrats were successful
the proposed reduction would be pre-
vented. Just how this would affect the
reduction proposition Mr.. McCardy did
not explain.
o. H. Arosin thanked the Ninth ward
for assisting in his nomination and ex-
pressed the hope that all the citizens
would vote for him.
Congressman Stevens pointed out
that the entire country was watching
to see what the great state Of Mime
sofa, would do and particularly what
action would be taken as to the cleo
ton of a congressman from the Fourth

warm about the matter and said that
he proposed to put the whole case be-
fore the people.

planned by the official record said

particularly as to your connection
with the Reidel case. 1t will be asked
of you what has become of the files in

the Office
Il have the files here" said the Judge,
laying his hand on a bundle of papers.
Il keep them on my desk, because I
know that some INSCRIPTIONS person
might try to abstract papers from the
file"
The Reidel case will be recalled by
a good many st. Paul people, Charles
Reidel committed suicide a few years
ago; it was said that he killed himself
because he was destitute After his
death it was discovered that Judge
Willrich was the custodian Of a good
zeal OF property belonging to him, and
was also legatee under the will, which
he. Judge Willricb, had drawn himself.
The judge said that he was ready to
give UP the files in the case for exami-
nation by any proper person at any
time. He said:
Il appreciate the fact that it is a
very grave matter to charge a man who
aspires to judicial position with any
sort of misconduct and it will be found
that L am ready to meet all charges"
How about the files in the case of
Carl Mansfeld?" asked The Glob e
man.
II have them here Also" said Judge
Willrich
why are they not ON file. They
are part Of the public records, are they
nCt?" said the reporter.
They are, and they are kept IN my
room as many others are, because l do
not care to have them tampsrld with"
1t has been said in connection with
the Mansfield case that Willrich col
lected a bequest of $500 made by the
aunt Of Mansfield, Dorothea Otto, to
him: that the judge did rot turn over
the beqEest for fifteen months, and
that he charged $500 for making the COL
lection. Judge Willrich said that the
files in the case would be made public
at the proper time.

Good Words for Platte.

The c b e is in receipt Of the
following letter from Capt. w. H.
Harries, formerly collector of in
ternal revenues:
1t was with considerable satisfaction
that l noticed that William Platte was
nominated by the Democrats of Ramsey
county fer the position of county auditor
and as the voters of a large city must
take 1t for granted that their party will
place in nomination only fit men for the
respective places. or accept the words of
others who may know the person, 1 wish
to state to your readers that Mr.. Platte
was deputy collector of internal revenue
for the four years that l was collector;
that he performed his duties faithfully,
honestly and satisfactorily; that he is
man of good character and ability, and
as such l commend him to the voters Of
Ramsey county. Yours respectfully,

Guaranty Loan Candidate EUstis
opened his compaign In Minneapolis
Thursday night. Three meetings were
advertised for two weeks or more, with
all the might OF the Republican man
ayers, and brass bands drurnmed from
twilight until the last hope Of drawing
a crowd had died out. Two Of the
meetings were fairly attended, but the
third at West Side Turner hall, in the
most thickly populated part of the city
was a complete hzzle. The Times said
that three men were on the floor and
thirty mine in the gallery. The result
showed the wisdom of the Republican
managers when they were scared out
from attempting to have a meeting in

however, that he took some of that
money, but said that 1t was not IA

$4,000 collected from the insurance COM
pany, or one fourth of all that was re-

for certain part of the work in the case,

He then took up his mayorship, and
he defended himself from many Of the

The proper maintenance of the public
schools is a subject that is bound 10
receive a good deal of consideration in
this campaign, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Republicans in their plat
form Ignored it. The Democratic can
didates to the legislature are pledged
to secure, if possible, such a revision
Of the law as will do away with the
lack Of money for schools, while it is
being squandered in other directions,
and j. Watson Smith is one of the Re

1t appears that Smith has peculiar
IDEAS about schools, and the way they
ought to be run, as well as strange no

AS TO CONTINGENT FUNDS.
And Eustis Says He Will Be Cover
nor IS He Was Mayer.

Another incident which has not been
touched on was the use of the city con-
tingent fund-a counterpart of which
fund is to be found in the governors
office, and therefore its administration
is pertinent question. That certain
fund Of about 81, 600 in Minneapolis was
at the disposal of the mayor. He used
it in banquet to the moyor Of a for
etgn city, at which, according to the
best reports obtainable of the affair.
most of the principals were placed un-
der the table. Moreover, the public
charge was made by councilmen that
the use of the fund was a personal
one by Mr.. Eustis, since it was given
as his banquet. and aldermen and ofIl-
Gals of the city were not invited.
And so it goes, every time any of the
public affairs of Eustis are discussed.
An administration as governor. along
the lines Of the Minneapolis mayoralty,
makes one as tired as his financial ex-
ploitation as director Of the Guaranty
Loan.

Attorney General ChiIds Is Asked

Olmsted county has asked Attorney
General Childs for an opinion as to
whether County Auditor Sanderson. of
that county, can be compelled to place
the name of w. H White on the ballot
as the Democratic candidate for judge
of probate.
The Democratic convention made no
nomination for that office, but left 1t
for committee to fill, and that COM
mittee has selected Mr. White. and
wants to file his name, but the auditor
holds that, inasmuch as no nomination
was made, there is no vacancy on the
ticket to fill, and he cannot accept the
fling under the provision of the law.
providing that party committees may
fill vacancies on the ticket caused by
death or resignation.
The attorney general has taken the
question under advisement.
