THE POLITICAL FIELD.
Nominations By All Parties and Notes
of the Campaign.
MINNESOTA HErunLIcAws.

Gttll legally bt uoIts SHOULD DC restrained from
holding free lands exempt from taxation.
Pledges the party TO secure laws prohibiting
the further use of watered stock; 10 amend the
tax law so tax payers shall not lose property
through errors Of officers; TO prohibit railroad
companies from furnishing passes to legislators;
10 do all municipal work by the day aud not by
contract; 10 pay women same as men for tho
same labor, and TO prohibit child labor. Prison
labor Is opposed, and arbitration is defended.
Legislation is favored TO renew the free coinage
of silver. and to revise the tariff SO that taxa
tion on the necessares of life may be reduced.
A notable feature was a speech by Exon
gresham lgnatius Dounelly, for some years
past identified with the Democratic party, and
who spoke a representative Of the Farmers
Alliance. He said il was pleasure TO all his
associates to note the hearty welcome they re-
ceiyed, so different from that received in the
same hall last week, referring TO the State
Democratic Convention. Many had differed
from the Republican party in political matters,
but when IL came TO a question OF righting
wrongs they could appeal TO the old party of
liberty. The party which did not turn deaf
ear 10 the slave 20 years ago would not now re-
fuse 10 hear the oppressed farmer and laborer.
Mr.. Donnelly then went on TO rake the rail-
ways and their watered stock, which the farm
ers laborers and all Others help 10 pay the in
terest upon. The Republican party would be
aided by thousands Of independent voters il it
declared itself against these wrongs. He wanted
railroads 10 pay taxes upon their lands the same
as other men do. They would then reduce the
price of the lands. settlers would come, and
prosperity would follow.
