shooting match.
1t is remarkable how all the state

What in Santiago are we going to
do about it?'' was demanded by mem
Der Of the state committee for Henn.-
pin yesterday Then he went on To
say that nothing could be done iusr
now, because Frank Meade, who help
ed Jake MertZ to put his foot In it.
Frank being credited with the fine
Italian or Greek hand of editing the
Mertz giVeaWay, has gone to Cincin-
natl.
Seriously, the dismay Is well founded.
The figures show that the Republican
soldier vote in Hennepin and probably
Ramsey has been annihilated for this
campaign. There is no more DANCER
Of Eustls getting that vote, from any
thing that can be done by his man
ayers or himself, than there is of Will
liam Henry making another campaien
speech without devoting most of It 70
explanations and denials which neither
explain nor deny. In numbers alone
the bolt Is formidable, relatively to the
total vote Of Hennepin. There are T.,
the Old Soldiers Anti-Eustis club more
than 600 members, while the active
campaign membership OF the Union
league, in 1885, was 1000. Making all
possible allowance for members who
are in beth OrganiZatiCnS, and for mem
OershlpS which have ceased or not been
renewed in the reorganization effected
last spring by the league, and at the
lowest calculation more than 1000 &C.
tive, earnest and Interchangeable SOL
diers, mostly Republicans, are in the
ranks or vigorous opposition to Eust.s.
But this opposition is not to be meas
used by manners alone, though thew
will count at the polls, but in the zeal
and energy which marks whatever the
Old veteran undertakes in public mat
tiers. Considering the fact that the old
soldiers organizations are scattered
all over the state. and that the work Of
fully informing the veterans will be
thoroughly done, the undoubted effect
may we'll appall even more sang1lfne
spirits than even that of William
Henry.
The action by the Veterans league
practically unites it and the anti-Eus-
tis club for the campaign. The latter
Will, however. lead in the fight, as 1t
were, the advanced lines, relying on the
league to follow close up, as they will
do. The clubs organized work is in
good shape and the present week will
see Its address to the people of the
state ready for distribution. The com
mittee in investigation upon the
charges made against Eustis have
made their report, and it Is in the
hands Of the committee on publication.
1t Is said that the document will make
several pages, In pamphlet form, and
will comprise Eustis record on the fol-
lowing points:
The hospital site deal and scandal
and Eustis connection Herewith.
His connection with the Northwest
ern Guaranty Loan company and the
whitewashing of Menage, with the as
sistance of Eustis' vote.
His relation to the street railway
monopoly in vetoing the Harvey
transfer ordinance, and his service in
the interest of the company as against
the veterans, in the latter's attempt to
stop racing and gambling on Memorial
day In vicinity OF the memorial serv-
ices.
His treatment and insult of old SOL
diers In the matter Of appointments,
and violations OF the civil service law.
The whole record Is introduced by a
scathlng review or summary, Of which
the following Is part:
