OLD SOLDIER UPRISING
IS SPREADING ALL OVER THE
STATE.


G. H. Taylor, of Minneapolis, who has
been out in the state spreading anti
Eustis gospel, has the following letter
in the Long Prairie Leader this weak:
Editor of Leader: l have had handed to me
e lea1et issued by the Republican state cen
trail committee purporting to give the facts
relating to w. H. Eustis' friendship to old
soldiers.
have seen this leafet before when it con-
tanned a statement that Mr.. Eustis was
thought so much of by old soldiers that he
had been elected an honorary member of
George N. Morgan post, of Minneapolis. That
honor cannot or never has been granted by
the G. A. R., and the statement was so
promptly sat down upon and occasioned such
a smile among the old boys that the first
lot of leaflets were destroyed as far as they
could be got hold OF and that clause elim-
mated and another batch sent out. The daily
papers of Minneapolis are wholly in the grasp
of Mr. Eustis, both Democratic and Repub-
lican, and refused to let deny the state
ments through their columns, but we did so
through The st. Paul G o b e. Judge Rea
did, however, succeed in having the Times
print a contradiction of Eustis' claim to hon
orary membership in Morgan post The
whole leahet is filled with the same untruths
Mr.. Eustis says in regard to the appoint
ment of old soldiers to positions the police
force that he waived the age limit of 35 wears
just for old soldiers only, and named the men
he had appointed. This is so untrue and has
been contradicted so much and so complete
that 1t seems woIfder that they would dare
to send out this statement. l have examined
the reports of Mr.. Eustis for 1893 and 1894
He appointed thirty-six police, twenty-four In
1898 and twelve in 1894 He appointed twelve
citizens above the age limit, one of whom
was H. A. Stanley, aged A. and whom he
publishes far and near an Old soldier
which is not true, and any one wishing proof
for this statement can have 1t by writing
enclosing q stamp. to III. A. Stanley corner
Thirteenth avenue and Sixth street northeast
and will hear the truth from him. The old
soldiers who were appointed were placed on
the force under great pressure from prominent
citizens, and Mr.. Eustis turned out old SOL
diers to make room for them And the re-
ports show that he did the same with the
Swedes, and among the Norwegians he put
out four and appointed one.
The Old Soldiers Antt-Eustis club is called
few disaffected Bryan men of 1896 The
people Of Todd county never questioned my
Republicanism and I want to say to you
people Of Todd that we have a club OF 1 900,
and SO per cent of them are Republicans.
The leahet speaks of Mr.. Eustis and the
eX-soldiers' love in 1891 That Is not strange
We all helped him in 1892 to be elected
mayor and believed in him most heartily.
But his administration and treatment of the
ministers, the old soldiers and the general
public was such that he was turned down
at once when Minneapolis always rewards a
faithful servant with a second election.
Since that time you hear no praise from
hardly any one not paid for at so much per
word.
have not space to say one-half that
should be said. l will say, however that If
you want light write to President E. c.
get full accounts of Mr. Eustis Memorial
Day Insult" The Hospital Deal,'' "The
Transfer Veto and 'The Rebuke by the
Supreme Court of Minnesota" and then in
Hennepin county give its large. majority
against him, and he will be defeated because
