Ny friends, you will pardon this hurried
and incomplete resume Of the issues that
are before US. They have been discussed IN
the public press and by other speakers. Will
not keep this assemblage here at this tate
hour, but these are the questions ana ls-
sues we present They come berore you on
next Tuesday for settlement. II you feel
that we are in the right-if you feel that
these questions need settlement at this time,
and that the methods that we propose are
sound, safe and timely, then we are entitled
to your cooperation. Not as a matter of
favor to US or our candidates. It Is Of very
little difference to you, and Of equally small
difference to me. personally, whether I am
elected governor or not l want to say to
this vast audience that, whether I am elect
ed or defeated. I shall be then the same
loyal citizen of the state as / was before.
Great applause.) I say. If the work we have
outlined should be done, then take ho,d with
US and work as we have done. Labor with
your fellows as these speakers have done,
and as / have attempted to do, and shall
continue to do until the polls CLOSE, not for
any individual such; not for the head of
the ticket any more than any other name
on the ticket, for I am no more worthy than
the other candidates.
If you think that 1t be well for the peo-
pie of the state to elect the head Of the
ticket, l want to say that it Is equally i'm
portant that they elect every man on the
ticket. 1t Is infinitely more important that
the three judges whose names appear at the
bottom of the ticket be elected than should
be. thank you. prolonged applause.)

Was Adopted without Dissent.

ADDRESS OF the county COhnUAtteS
Was Adopted Without Dissent.
The following address, presented by
Humphrey Barton, was adopted with
a rousing chorus:
To the Voters OF Ramsey County. Mime
sofa:
At this date in our campaign we are again
forced to notice 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 G. 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 a 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, notwith-
standing that the recent Republican conven-
ton may have erred in this particular.
Dated Nov. g. 1898.
Respectfully presented,

PAUL QUEHL Is MUM
REFUSES TO MAKE ANY ExPLANA-
TTON ABOUT HIS OFFICIAL
WORK
He MIGHT SAY A GOOD DEAL

but Thinks 1t Wiser Not to Do So
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 1893 created much
comment. Taken In connection with
the statement made to the commercial
agency Jan. l, 1893, by Mr.. Quehl, the
nsures certainly show wide variance
or range.
To the assessor in May, 1897, Mr..
Quehl, who Is a member of the Arm Of
Adam Decker & Co., reported that the
value OF the personal property OF the
firm was SITES.
In May, $685. to the same official. Mr..
Quehl returned the value of the per-
sonaa property Of the firm as $10,1
70 the commercial agency Jan. 1,
1888, Mr.. Quehl, reported that the value
or the personal property owned by the
firm was $66. 151.62.
Durlng the time that these reports
were made, both to the assessor and
the commercial agency, Mr.. Quehl was
a member Of the board Of county COM
missioners. He was ALSO thanks to the
discernment 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
Of 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
ne insisted on other firms being raised
he 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 fg-
ures as published in The Glob e. Mr..
Quehl studied a moment and inQuiredi
How did you get those figures from
the commercial agency?"
Were the figures not correct?" asked
the reporter.
Well" replied Mr.. Quehl, there is
considerable that copsld be said in ex-
PLANTATION, but do not care to discuss
the matter at this time Perhaps at a
later day may have something to
say"

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
Whitcomb, through The G o b 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 g.
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 the board of cor.
rections and charities, permitted the
deal to go through by which Bracket
sold Minneapolis 100000 worth of SUD-
posedly clear property and a mortgage
Of $4,000 turned up on It, It was a.
question of administration and F11stis
never escaped, for Bracket himself,
when criticised, fell back on the decla-
ration, now a part of the Minnea polls

and approved the whole deal.

conducting the Eustis movement. So
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"
CLAUSEN'S ORDERS GOES.
Judge Steele was willing to follow
the advice of Clausen and Vandiver.

Reese hasn't been in his Office this fall

Mr.. Eustis' main supporters, Clausen
argued, were satisfied with the work
of the inspection bureau, and the CAM

WHY DID THEY QUITr
Perhaps the Voters Detected the
Truth Through the Tribune's
Veil.

The Minneapolis Tribune's series of
reasons for voting the Republican
ticket paused at the sixthly, the G. 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 glass and one q
sash and door concern. The latter
showed fewer men employed than two
years ago, when 1t was made the black
est possible for political effect, and the
glass concern has not been assisted at
all by the glass trust, raising prices.

sons have total of. say, $50, 100000 feet
of lumber Ga small esitimate), on which
they took a deliberate raise of 81 per
thousand under the Mckinley bill. their
profit, without turning a hand over, of
half million or so, would warrant
them in being very liberal with their

one thing is certain, the men will not
