CHALLENGED.
Hon. o. q. Wall, Republican, Makes Bolt
Statements Regarding VIM. Henry
Eustis. #s

When the charge was brought against
William Henry Eustls that he was di,
rector Of the gigantic and infamous
Guaranty Loan swindle, Mr.. Eustls and
his champions urged in reply that Eus-
tbs name was used as director without
his consent and will. We would like to
see the fool that would permit such a
thing, bat Eustis, nevertheless, admits
that it was done.
Hon. O. G. Wall, former member of
the legislature and now editor Of the
republican Ortonvllle Journal, enter
tains, however, an entirely different
view of Eustis' connection with the Me-
mage affair. Wall lost $4,000 10 the
deal and hear is what he says of Eustis:
"Mr. Eustis' special champions, with
less discretion than zeal, raise the Guar
anty Loan issue and pirate about Mr.,
Eustis' pane having been used by the
'swindling company without his per
mission. This is pure rot, and the less
said about it the better, SO far as Mr..
Eustis is concerned. Mr.. Eustis was a
director of the Infamous Guaranty Loan
concern, his name was used as direc-
tor because he was director, and the
record, unless it has been destroyed rec
emily, as is limited, will show that he
participated in the meetings of the d.
rectors of that unholy fraud. The writ
er knows whereof he speaks, having long
since investigated the matter because he
was personally interested in an investi-
cation of the facts. The less said about
the Northwestern Guaranty Loan swim
die. the better, so far as the republican
nominee for governor is concerned, and
his fool friends should touch the sub
ject lightly"
In another article he uses this emphat-
ic language:
"The charges are unanswerable. The
records are the proof. Mr.Eustis was one
of the "sl1ck" gentlemen who made the
robbery of the people through the ipfa-
nous North ~este1n Guaranty Loan COM
pany profession. It was very largely
through his association with that gigant-
ic fraud that the writer was swindled
out of thousands of dollars-a matter
which he always took philosophically,
and in which the people have no inter-
est; but when he speaks of Eustls as a
man unworthy of the confidence of man.
kline, he knows what he is talking about,
and if the Republican party of Minneso-
ia is cursed by intimate association with
robbery that ought to have sent every
man connected with it to the peniten-
tiary, it ought to be damned with over
whelming defeat. The Journal knows
enough of Mr.. Eustis, and wants no more
of HIM"
The democrats of tie Third district
have pitted Chas. G.. Kinds of Shako-
pee against the Hon. Joel P. Heatwole
for congress. Kinds is man with ample
means to make a stirring campaign, and
with this and his well-known ability
and large acquaintance, it would not be
surprising if he gave Heatwole the run
of his life.
