4ppeai TO the Voters of the Third District.
To the Editor OF the Globe:
have been travelling TO some extent
through the Third congressional district Of
this state, have heard Mr.. Donnelly, the
peoples candidate for congress, make several
speeches, aud in each and every one of them
he has had an immense audience. mostly
farmers, and about all OF them declare in
favor of him for congress instead of his
opponent, Major Strait. He has shown TO
the farmers that Major Strait is aud always
has been the friend Of railroad rings and
monopolies, and that he (Donuelly) did,
while i'm congress and the state senate, labor 10
take the burdens of their 1.-THE farmers)
backs. The farmers are satisfied that his state
ments are true, the Major, his
hirelings and the Pioneer Pres
10 the contrary Notwithstanding.
Mr.. Donnelly is farmer, poor man, and
when nominated told the people he would
make a fight for them. Such s. fight has
never before been known in the history of
our state, He took the stump two months
ago all alone, no one TO make speeches for
him and no money TO pay them if they did
60 out and help him. He has fought the
cause of the people bravely and will be
elected by the people. On the contrary, his
opponent, Maj. Strait, is a rich man,
has had the Office ten years, his
salary during that time his been
about fifty thousand dollars, and TO-DAY he Is
worth two hundred thousand dollars He has
hired many speakers, not the sensible and
/ ,.a1 of L. "a
men who cared not what they said Of Mr..
Donnelly, and they have gone over the dis

| spectacle gentleman would do, and Major
Strait, not content TO let his hirelings do all
the dirty work, has taken of his coat and as
sisted them. What they could not
think Of he has. Not cor

continued to make speeches and Strait Ia
continued TO use the cork screw. You can
go into town but some one viii tell yo
