OUT OF DEBT.
The Minneapolis Tribune, noting the an
nouncement of President Adams, INDUCES


nouncement of President Adams, INDUCES
in this comment:
Now, the fact, as every officer of the society
knows, is that the fair of the society held in
Minneapolis two years ago put 1t out of debt
and left margin in the treasury. This margin
was not only consumed in last falls exhibition
in st. Paul, but the society was left many
Thousand dollars in debt and still remains so.
Who, then, has 80 effectually pulled the wool
over the eyes of Granger Sam. E. Adams? Evi-
IDENTITY he is not reader of the St. Paul news
papers, which recently contained accounts Of
the hopeless bankruptcy of the society which
Granger. By whom, we say, has Mr.. Adams
been made the credulous victim of bold and
shameless falsehood?
Th5 Tribune is simply liar. That Is the
story in nut she'll. Mr.. Adams statement
is strictly true. All of the Indebtedness has
been paid, and Bill King and all his gang of
strikers cannot find dollar of outstanding
indebtedness against the State Agricultural
Society on account of last years fair.
No st. Paul paper has ever announced
that the society was in "hopeless bank
ruptcy." Bill King prints Minneapolis
paper in this city which has made the false
assertion in order to break down the State
society and clear the field for Bills private
show. The last State fair was conducted
by responsible men, and there never has
been moment when the assertion that
the society was bankrupt was not false
hood of the deepest hue.
We would suggest to Bill King that he
call off his dogs. The people of the State
of Minnesota propose to hold fair at St.
Paul during the first week in September. If
Mr.. King desires to conduct private show
of his own at Minneapolis, at the same time.
no one cares. 1t is q matter of no concern
whatever and 80 far as the GLOBE is con-
cerned we have no war to make on it any
more than we would war on any private cir
Gus that came along and behaved itself. But
if Mr.. King and his ours propose to SANDER
and malign the State in order to secure
little gate money for their private show the
situation is changed. It comes with very
i'll grace for that gang to berate the State
society as bankrupt. It is notorious and
openly avowed that the only object of Bill
Kings fair is to save a piece of property for
bankrupt organization. Mr.. Kelly's letter
states that, minneapolis declined all honor
able overtures and reasonable concessions on
the part of st. Paul. and the excuse given
was that they mast hold fair this year to
help them out of bankruptcy and redeem
piece of property already forclosed on in the
courts.
If Bill King wants to run his private
bankrupt show on its merits and behave
himself, the GLOBE willshave nothing to say,
and will not advise exhibitors to get G.. G.
Washburn or other private parties to guaran-
tee premiums before making display, as
was done last year. But if he desires to
make war upon the people of the State he
can be Accommodated in lively manner.
The State Fair is going to be held under
favorable auspices. It is out of debt and
will incur no liability which cannot be
met Immediately. Its premiums will
be paid the moment checks can be drawn
after the awards are made. The people of
the State are at its back and the snarling liars
and bankrupt showmen who have been en-
deavoring to destroy the State Society had
better devote themselves to their own bust
meas. If they accept this advice they can
hold quiet, unmatched funeral but if they
make it necessary the corpse will be ratified
about with sufficient activity to almost make
it wish that it wasn't dead. Fair warning.
