EVERYONE TO KNOW IT
RECORD OF w. III. EUSTIs SCAT
TERED BROADCAST THROUGH
THE STATE
DOCUMENT BY OLD SOLDIERS

Governor When He Was Assoc
ctated With the Guaranty Loan,
and Later as Mayor of Mime
apOlis.
The Old Soldiers Anti-Eustis club,
organized for Minneapolis, but now
covering the work Of defeating Eustis
in the whole state, yesterday complet-
ed the address and matter showing
the record of the Republican candidate.
The Minneapolis headquarters, 319
Hennepin avenue, was a busy place,
with the volunteer workers engaged in
issuing the document to the people Of
the state.
The address Ito the people of Mime
sofa and the Introduction cover Eus-
It's record and the reasons, in sum-
mary, why the old soldiers appeal to
the people to defeat the candidate of
the party with which most Of them
have, in the past, affiliated. The step
is taken, as the address says in the
opening, pursuing that line Of indie
pendence in political action which is
the hope of the country, if it's institu-
lions are to be preserved by the cleo
ton Of honest, able, sound and pa
tr1otic men to administer it's laws, and
which independence, if any men on
earth have earned the right to exer-
else and have it respected, it is the men
Of 1S61-65.'
The title page of this pamphlet is as
follows:
''Old Soldiers Anti-Eustis Club Of Mime
apoAs. His record as mayor of Minneapolis
in which he flagrantiy violated the laws and
ordinances. Obsequiously served the corpo
rations and the special interests and turned
down and insulted the veteran. Arrangement
by the Union Veterans Ieague-AlI good citi-
zens urged to join In the defeat Of W. H
Eusus.
WHY THE ACTION WAS TAKEN,
The elaboration with which this &C
ton has been taken, in the discharge
OF duty, is thus stated:
The Old Soldiers Ant-Eustis club. of Min
neapolts, now made the central one for or
ganization in this state, was organized the
moment that, following the Republican state
convention, it was seen that all the efforts
or the old soldiers to defeat this candidate
for nomination had been unavai!ing. At this
early stage, when there is plenty Of time for
investigation, and when, were it later, the
people might be deceived by the arts Of the
demagogue, the use of which in campaigns
no man knows better than Eustis which is
seen in the maner In which he carried his
recent success by a manufac tured boom, and
by false Dretenses, 1t is fortunate that the
FACTS and proofs are within reach Of the peo-
pie, and that we have In his record as mayor
w. H. Eustis possesses none of the character
istics above laid down as the necessary requi-
sites for governor Of this state. This is we'll
understood in Minneapolis, though some time
has elapsed since the Eustis administration
of the fair city went out to the Infinite relief
OF the good people who struggled with him
Throughout his whole unsavory term, to COM
pei him to do what? Simply execute thu
laws and ordinances. The unwholelsome fra
GRANGE will long remain in Minneapolis. The
people OF the state at large, who have given
OF Hon Will ha rrIo
salient points. To all of which after the gen.
eral record has been stated, it will remain
to present what may be termed the personal
side of the old soldiers case, in treatment Of
whom Eustis most grossly violated the 1T
ter and spirit of the civil service law, bcsed
on his principle that the cd soldier has out
lived his usefulness, and is properly the OBJ
ject Of public charity.
That the Minneapolis veterans are
in position TO know what they are talk
ing about is thus shown:
In the campaign in which Mr.. Eust;s
was elected mayor the old soldier took no
small part. Like others, we were deceived as
to the character Of the man, like many 9TH
ers cajoled and Influenced by the arts he so
we'll knows how to exercise, of the same char
acter of his campaign for governor. AS sCop
as he was installed, the old soldier rea lied
how he had been fooled; found on comparing
notes how he of the dinner pail and "long
stocking" campaign had succeeded by the
kegs Of beer" used down under the hill"
had done the business in the staid portions
of the city. Then we knew how he had spread
his prediction palaver alike over the So
loon and the church, the brothel and the
home circle; that the disappointments of the
better portions of the community joined with
the broken promises to the cd soldiers. But
these have worked out their ends. For tn
discordant elements which struggled up
through his administration each in turn de-
ceived and disappointed in the man, prob
ably brought to light, more forcibly than
hnTrA hAArN
the evil and inconsistencies Of his admins
tration.

The preamble, stating the grounds
for the movement, declares that the
public man entrusted with official pO-
sition who fails of duty, and SCOTS at
the needs of those who have saved
the republic who ask not sinecures,
but a chance to earn their living by
honest labor and employment, which
they are qualified to perform. is fit to
be classed with the Benedict Arnolds
and the soldierhating coppeTheads,
and that armed with the knowledge
of their rights, and loyalty to country,
the soldiers will strip the stolen man
tie Of loyalty and fitness for office
from William Henry Eustis, Repub-
lican candidate for governor" declar-
ing as follows:
BILL OF PARTICULARS.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, soldiers
and sailors of the Civil war, believing it
to be for the best interests Of tho COM

reasons:

sailors of the Civil war, band ourselves to-
