iZe that there is a strong opposition
to EUstis and the policy and principles
he represents, and they are madly
fiourdering around trying to stem the
tide of the opposition, but really hope
less of success. The financial difficult
ties Of the committee seem to have
been bridged, for there are several
speakers on the roster at from $40 to
$50 a speech, and there is small army
of salaried clerks and fixers at head
quarters, but the other difficulties are
of more perpleXing nature.
Judge Mills place on the railroad
commission has already been mortgage
ed to the Canadian Pacific, and the sue
cegsor of Gen. G. l.. Becker on the same
commission will be a we'll known
Minneapolis friend of the 500. if the
hero of the Minneapolis hospital steal
becomes governor. But it is one thing
to get money and another thing to get
votes. 1t cost Eustis' managers, &C
cording to their own admissions, 81 for
every vote he got out to the Mime
apolis primaries, and he cannot get
them at the polls as cheaply as that.
WHERE LIND WILL WIN.
Here is the estimate the Republican
state central committee makes: The
First and Second districts, they say,
will give EustiS $4,000 majority, and
then they add, You may call the 2est
of the state a stand-eff." But, supposing
the $4,000 in the First and Second dis
trictS were really forthcoming-Whlc
they are nOt-Eustis would still be
short few thousand votes. The Third
district will give 5000 against him; the
Fourth will give 5000 against him; the
Fifth will give 1000 against him; the
Sixth will give 5000 against him; the
Seventh will give 1000 against him.
That is $4,000 in the rest of the state, )"
and 5000 Republican majority is more
than the First and Second districts
will give this year. If any one doubts
the result in this district let him take
q trip through Washington and Chisago
counties, or look around in Ramsey.
Republican candidates on the county
ticket in every county in the district
are fastening TO disclaim any interest
in Eustis and admit that he is too
heavy a load for them to carry. Oar
Reese came back from his last trip
threatened with pneumonia from his
continual exposure to ''frosts" in the
western part OF the state. Bede, Dol
liver, Bergstrom and the other employ
eS of the committee are speaking to
audiences of from fifteen to fifty peo-
pie, and it costs the committee about
an average of a dollar for every man
it addresses through it's speakers.
Meanwhile the headquarters are desert
ed. except for the band of hired people
who sit around and look wise. The
campaign is a listless, apathetic affair,
and even the employees have a hard
time keeping warm.
Somebody dropped into the headquar-
terS the other day and wanted Judge
Steele to write to Halvor Stevenson
and ask him to take hold and help
along in the Seventh district.
''Steenerson," echoed the chairman,
"WlN is he?"
The gentleman explained who Steen-
ersOn was, and the chairman called a
sterographer and dictated the usual
formal letter which is used for such
purposes. Then the chairman mailed
the letter to IS. HalVOrsen." But then,
perhaps, it will do just as much good
as if it had been sent to Mr.. Steener-
son, who is preserving his equanimity
wonderfully well in this campaign.
LIND'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT.
The friends of John Lind are con-
fident and enthusiastic, feeling sure of
success. If his committee had the
financial and transportation facilities
at the command of the Republican
committee, it could put a speaker in
every school house in the state. AS it
timent is pretty we'll formed, and it has
only to be watchful and give the voters
a chance. There will be no repetition
of the tactics of two years ago, when
John Lind Swas counted out after hav-
ing been elected, for the reason that
the majority will be so great that it
will be impossible to steal it. Two
majority for Coy. Clough-or at least
it was counted that way. This year
it will give Lind 1900, and the vote
viii be counted or there will be trou-
ble
II the election were to be held today,
instead of a month from now, Mr.. Lind
would be returned by $4,000 majority
at least The chances are that public
sentiment will have so warmed up by
that time that the majority will be
double that figure. All that IS neceSsa-
ry is to get out the full vote, and the
voters will take a precipitate fall out
