Hon. Ignatious Donnelly made an
excellent speech at the school house,
last Tuesday evening. to crowded
house. He is an able, clear.headed,
forcible speaker, and he handled his
subject as no other man can in this
district. The audience consisted
mainly OF farmers, who braved the
pelting rain and furious wind to hear
him. The difference between DON
nelly and Washburn is this: Donnelly
is a poor man and a farmer, and is
laborlng to promote the interests of
the laboring classes; Washburn is
rich, and while Donnelly is raising
wheat on his farm. Washburn sits in
his office and steals the profits of it;
Donnelly works for the farmer,
| WaShburn for the banker. Donnelly
labors to protect the people from the
Ring power; Washburn is the head
centre of Kingdom and shares
in their plumber; Donnelly
is bitterly opposed to the
Minneapolis Millers' Association:
Washburn is an acknowledged men,
Der Of it. During the war, when we
needed true men, lgnatius Donnelly
was one OF our most faithful Republic
can congressman; w. d. Washburn
was a saw-lOg general, engaged in ex-
ploring the pine lands of Minnesota
and stole an independent fortune.
Donnelly talks to the people and
pledges himself to champion their
cause; Washburn lacks the ability to
speak with Donnelly, SO he expects to
buy his way into congress. and then
champion the cause -Washburn.
PERSONALLY, we believe Donnelly is the
best man at heart; politically, he
should receive the sympathy and sup
port of those who who are to be bene.
