have also been charges that at least two
of the visiting delegations had brought
with them professional singers, who re-
ceived a certain fixed sum for singing in
the competitions.
Some of the other societies have pro
tested that the Brooklyn organizations
should not have taken part at all. and left

port OF this contention the action of the
Philadelphia societies, which refused to
compete for certain prizes when the Saen-
gerfest was held in their city three years
ago, and left them entirely to the VISITING
delegations"

complaining of shooting pains in his foot,

consultation was held, and It was decided

that the $4,000 be put up as a forfeit for

Mr.. Johnson could not be present in the
morning, however, as he had to go up
to Atwater to look after some horses he
had there.
Mr.. O'Connor tntimated that so far as
he was personally concerned, any time he

he would hire good man to water the
horses for twenty-four hours, and some

AS one of those who has al
ways been we'll treated by his
party, Marcus johnson, Of At
water, is man who likes to show
his party loyalty by coming to the front
on the eve of great battle like to-
days with all sorts of money, including
the purely oral, to back his personal hope
that the Republicans will win.
When Marcus strolled into the Ryan
yesterday afternoon he confided to Col.
Welz that he had been all over Mime
apolis looking for a place to get up q
little money on Van SAINT, but he had
not been able to find sou. Now Mar
cIs and r. T. O'Connor formerly Of
feed in the same federal building, al
though at different periods, and it was
on the strength of old acquaintance, may
be, that Richard T.. came into the con-
versation within a few moments after
Mr.. Johnson's remark, and asked the At
water man if he knew where any money
could be found that wanted to be wager
ed on Van SAINT
Mr.. O'Connor, by way of opening a
materialistc seance, ventured that he
had $1,000 that was feverishly painting for
a share in the excitement Of the cam
paign.
Marcus, who but a short time before
according to his own story, had oeen
securing Minneapolis In search of Lird
money became suddenly pensive but
rather than have Col Welz estimate
him as gutter admitted that he
had $500 himself which he would like
to have double itself on Van SAINTS cleo
ton. So the cash was put up, and the
betters separated.
SCENE OF ACTION MOVED.
There seeming to be little too much
money around the Ryan to permit him to
listen to his own conversation much
longer, Mr.. Johnson changed his base of
action, and the next the impatient pub
lie heard of him he was in Durkin's buff
fet, on Robert street, proclaiming that
he had put all the money on Van SAINT
that he could find takers for. This was
sad news for the habitues of that re-
sort, for as Marcus, perhaps, knew, a
number Of patrons had entrusted Van
SAINT money to the proprietor for acton.
and the chances were that there was 40
Lind money around the place unless
some workingmen came in to get his
dinner pail filled.
So Marcus and the assemblage congra tu-
lated themselves that the opposition was
clearly routed, and If money in wagers

porters went from place to place, vainly
seeking to get action, on some portion
of the wads they were willing to invest,
on Gov. Linds chances.
In only one instance were Van SAINT,
supporters hardy enough to wager any
considerable amount, and that was when
Matt Clark accepted a s., 500 bet made nv
A. Peterson, of Saltwater, on Lind
gentleman acting for Mr. Clark was
approached in the office of Mr. M Doran
yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Peterson, and,
asked II he could cover $500 which was
ready to back Lind. In reply Mr.. Peter
son was informed in magniloqaert tone
llldt accommodation could be made for,
any amount from $500 to $1O,OG0''
Not having expected so favorable a re-.
Ply Mr.. Peterson said he could not bet
$lVOOO, because he didn't have it. hut he
would take $1,500 of the $4,000.
This seemed to be a ''facer" and con-
siderable telephoning followed before Mr..
PETERSON offer was accptd Finally the
money was Forthcoming and was put I'D
in the hands of Wilber Tibbils, the cigar
man.
Not wishing TO let all of the remaining
$S,5O0 go begging, Mr.. Peterson asked a
feW hours grace to go over to Saltwater
for the purpose of securing 81, 500 to bet
on the same terms. The response was pe-
culiar.
OuI ouSIIIeSS nOurS close at D O'clock
said Mr.. Clark's representative, "and no
propositions can be entertained after that
hour" AS it was impossible for him
to secure the money before that hour, Mr..
Peterson was obliged to leave without
placing any more coin. However, he had
the satisfaction of making the Van SAINT
man quit"
William Peterson, brother of the man
referred to above, also had a goodly roll
to invest in the same way He could only
get $40O placed, and left for Stillwa ter in
disgust, believing that there was more
Republican money in sight there than in
this city.
Van SAINT supporters created nttI.
furry in Durkin's saloon last night and
two of them displayed rolls of $500 and
$500 respectively. At the time there was
no Lind betters in the place and the
two Republicans did some loud talking
until the arrival Of two men who thought
differently and had money to back their
convictions.
The SLIGO was gobbled up in shcrt or
der, and the Lind men left in quest of
more victims. BY midnight there was
apparently no Van SAINT money in town.

seemed to be as large as at any time dur

REPEATED THE CHARGES


Gov. Lind again reiterated the charge
made against the Twin city Rapid Tran
sit company Friday and Saturday nights.
He stated that it is not true that he
had concealed this matter as had been
charged by certain papers, but upon
tie contrary he had told State Auditor
Dunn and also had impaired the infor-
nation to Theodore M. Knappen, of the
Minneapolis Journal, the paper which
condemned the governor for not bringing
the matter up before. The governor said
there were good reasons why he had not
spoken of it publicly before, but now
he had made the statement two t1avs
ago, that is two legal days, and no steps
had been taken by the parties involved
in the matter to protect themselves
against the injury which might come
from such a statement
"lt would be criminal libel if not true"
SAID the governor, then why does not
some one attempt to deny it."
He said that he knew full we'll that if
the statement were not true he would
be subject TO arrest, but no one had made
any attempt thaving him arrested
Livery word uttered upon this subject
was carefully listened to and the au-
dience manifested its feelings by tre-
mendous applause.
At several of the meetings when Gov.
Lind was approaching the close of his
speech the audience cried for him to con-
tnue. 1t was p.ainly evident that he
was the most popular speaker who had
addressed them during the campaign.
