The Campaign Of SANDER In.

VETERANS AND THE sWEDEs.
How the Democratic Forces
Are Relying Upon SANDER
for Success.
REPUBLICAN JUDICIAL TICKET.

ST. PAUL, Oct. II, 1893.
Is it not q little remarkable what
gauzy lies are thrown forward for the
purpose of deceiving the gullible voter
in campaign year? Chairman Rosing
seems to have been unusually prolific
in partisan mendacity during the ex.
listing campaign. In the first place. he
organized and put under pay some half
dozen or more Democratic veteran
soldiers of the civil war. These men
commenced their campaign of SANDER
SO early that their efforts to deceive
the veterans have been dis.
counted, and now return to plague
the inventor. Everywhere through.
ont the state the veterans of the
civil war are reforming the
lines under the old flag Of Repr blican.
ism, and the prospect now is that they
will present a front solid against the
combined forces Of Democracy and
Populism at the polls next month as
they did against the allied forces of the
great rebellion from Bull Run to AID.
pomatox.
The second squirt of election lying
consisted in the charge-formulated by
nobody knows who-that William H.
Eustis was director in the old, rotten
and defunct Guaranty Loan Associa.
ton, and, by implication, responsible
in degree for that miserab BILE mess.

Mr.. Eustis' entire connection with
the Guaranty Loan Association, of
Minneapolis was as follows: He never
purchased or owned for single hour a
share of stock in the Guaranty Loan
Association, and hence, could not le-
gally be director. At an early period
OF its history, however, before any
scandal or suspicion of scandal had
attached to the Association, the
management Of the Guaranty. Loan =
without consulting with anybody
selected the names of certain promi.
nent business men of Minneapolis and,
Incorporating those names as directors,
sent them broadcast throughout the
country for advertising purposes.
John S. Pillsbury, George A. Pillsbury,
ex-mayor of Minneapolis; Hon. Thomas
Lowry, William H. Eustis and others,
of equal prominence for wealth and
business rectitude. When informed Of
this unauthorized use Of his name. Mr.
Eustis notified the company to cease
the uss of his name in any capacity
and to stop sending abroad any liter
allure or advertising matter with his
name attached. :>, e-.
T.. ~ r.,
The records of the Guaranty Loan
show that Mr.. Eustis never atten ded a
meeting of the Directory of the Asso-
citation and that he was never connect.
ed, either nearly or remotely, with any
of it's business operations. In only one
instance did Mr.. Eustis attend any
sort Of meeting in connections with the
Guaranty Loan Association. Some
three years before the failure, one J.
II. Burke formulated and published
charges of corrupt dealing against the
officers of the Guaranty Loan Associa-
ton. In company with other citizens
of Minneapolis, Mr.. Eustis attended
the meeting which was called to OK.
anime into Mr.. Burke's charges. This
meeting-Mr. Eustis supporting the
proposition-caused the whole subject
covered by Mr.. Burke's charges
to be placed in the hands of the state
bank examiner. After what purported
to be full and fair investigation that
official brought in a report generating
the Guaranty Loan, and pronoun cling
the association solvent.
Now comes MI. Herman Stocken.
strom. editor of Swedish newspaper
in Minneapolis the Posten-and con.
tributes his little mite of mendaoity
by asserting that Mr.. Eustis had
made remarks publicly, showing that
he was hater Of his fellow oiti.
z9ns Of the Swedish nationality.
This statement, Of course, would
not deceive any body, and particularly
would not have any wide results with
people Of Swedish blood or nationality,
who are noted.for high degree Of in.
telligence. Mr.. Eustis, however, at.
taches sufficient Importance to the lie
to dignity it with an authoritative de.
NAL over his own signature, which he
addresses to the Minneapolis Journal,
as follows:
TO THE EDITOR JOURNAL
My attention having been called to an
article in The Journal, republshed from
Swedish paper, the "Posten," of this
city, in which ] am quoted as having
made unkind and cruel remarks on the
Swedish people, permit me to say that
both in letter and spirit each and every
one of such alleged remarks is untrue. I
could not think them-let alone say them
/ have been taught to recognize, and j
trust do, in every man a brother, and in
the old soldier, In whose honorable serv-
ice and scars with others reap benefits, q
friend and benefactOr. ,.@
The Swedish American Union, referred
to in the ARTICLE if I recOllect right, rec
commended to me while Mayor, Frank
FERN and August Wenell, two Swedes,
members of their Union, and on that rec
ommendation both were appointed to the
police force. Many nationalities make
one American people, and he is not Q good
citizen who seeks to engender strife and
hatred among them. From necessity we
to hate an individual cannot how much
less whole race. try alway to exercise
charity for differences Of political opinions
and harbor malice towards none.
