POLITICAL POINTERS.
Meeting of the Conference Committees OF
the Alliance and Knights OF
Labor.
Mr.. Donnelly's Version of the Affair,
and It's Probable Political
Result.

Yesterday.
The Coming Conference.

Ignatius Donnelly, the sage of Nininger,
was at the Merchants yesterday, en- route
to RosemOunt, where he delivered lecture
last night. He will return this morning TO
participate in the conference of the COM
mitteemen representing the Farmers al
lance and the Knights of Labor, when
takes place at the Merchants during the
day. He said that he did not imagine over
twenty persons would be in attendance, In
Guiding the three committeeman from the
alliance and the same number from the
knights and few friends of the two asSo-
Citations from different parts of the state.
In his opinion the committees were empow-
cred to act in the premises and would prob
ably call a convention to be held after the
meeting of the Democrats and Republicans.
The conference, he thought, would get OUT
a declaration of principles, setting 1orth
the object of the conference, and make
request that it be incorporated in the plat
forms of one or both of the grand political
parties; failing to secure such Endorsement
action would be taken at the convention
called later in the fall. He expressed the
hope that the Democrats would indOrSe the
declaration at their state convention, and
the third party would thus be able TO III
dOrse the Democratic nominees for state Of
ficers and the combination would result in
the election of the Democratic ticket. He
said that the Farmers alliance contained
20 900 voters and the Knights
Of Labor greater number;
they were closely allied in their
interests and demands Of relief from ex-
listing evils and could, therefore, pull to-
gether with great harmony. Their united
votes, he claimed, would elect the Demo-
cratic state ticket, and if such combina-
ton was formed the Republicans would ap-
preciate its strength and manifest their
fright at danger of defeat.
Mr. Donnelly announced that he was for
Mayor AmeS of Minneapolis for governor,
and thought that the latter's Identification
with the anti-boss conference, recently held
in st. Paul, would insure his nomination at
the Democratic state convention and his
election as well. The speaker intimated
that the farmers throughout the state and
the labOring men all felt that Mayor Ames
was their friend and the enemy of monop-
oily and monOpolists, and they, therefore.
were disposed to trust him as their stand
ard bearer in the coming fight.

older residents of st. Paul, and has the
general appearance OF clean-cut, elderly
looking New England gentleman, with
piercing black eyes, black hair, a hand

mild, pleasant cast of countenance.
His form of expression is very
nervous and positive, clear and
comprehensive, and impresses one
instantly that he is fully convinced that he
is right and stands on principle. In regard
to his nOminatian and the pending cam
paign he had but little to say. While not
communicative as to the campaign, it is
evident that he is confident of success. He
has not yet really entered the campaign.

with a native vigor that will put those who
stand against him to their best work.

REDWING, Aug. 31.-The Republican
county convention which meets at Cannon
Falls on Sept. A to elect delegates to the
state convention promises to be the scene
of one of the most holly contested political
fights of the season. Goodhue county has
eleven votes in the Republican state con-
vention. a morsel that will not be disdain-
fully refused by any candidate, but rather
sought after by all. To secure these eleven
votes some hard work will be done by the
supporters of both McGill and Gilman. and
from the manner in which the field is being
worked over already. it is evident that
NEITHER side intends to let the grass grow
under its feet. McGill is being backed BY
n. 0. Werner, 7. K. Simmons and other
prominent Republicans. known as anti
Chandler men," probably simply for the
reason that NJ. S. Chandler is working for
Gilman. w. S. Pattee of Mortified is re
ceiving the support of the former faction
for attorney-general.w While the latter part
is working just as industriOusly for F. B.
Kellogg of Rochester. Both sides have
leaders well skilled in the dark ways Of pol
itics. and neither faction will allow the
other to hoodwink it in any manner. Which
side will carry the day cannot yet be told.
but from present appearances the ''anti-
Chandler faction" seems to have decidedly
the upper hand.

A Proclamation-By the President of the United
- Stotes:
1t has long been the custom of the people of the
United States, on day in each year especially

In observance of such custom, l, Grover Cleve-

designate and set apart Thursday, the Oath day of
November instant to be observed and kept as
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
On that day let all our people forego their &C
customed employments, and assemble in their
usual places of worship, to give thanks to the
Ruler of the Universe for our continued enjoy
ment of the blessings of free government, for
renewal of business prosperity throughout our
land, for the return which has rewarded the labor
of those who till the soil, and for our progress as
a people in all that makes nation great.
And while we contemplate the infinite power of
God in earthquake, food and storm, let the CRATE
full hearts of those who have been shielded from
harm through His mercy be turned in sympathy
and kindness toward those who have suffered
through this visitation.
Let us also, in the midst of our thanksgiving,
remember the poor and needy with cheerful gifts
and aims, so that our service may, by deeds OF
charity, be made acceptable in the sight of the
Lord.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be

HELP tor SOUTH CAROLINA FARMERS


Mr.. H. M. Murray, Master of the State Grange
of Mary land, has forwarded to the master OF each
subordinate grange in the state. and to prominent
farmers in districts where oranges exist, asking
them 10 bring it to the attention of the farmers
generally, a circular sent out by the National
Grange authorities, calling attention to the suffer
ing encountered by farmers in the lower portion
South Carolina, within the range of the recent
earthquake shocks. They have suffered very
Verely from that calamity, their dwelling houses
and other buildings having been seriously injured
The chimneys and foundations are thrown down
and demolished. and the houses in such state as
70 render them nhabitable and exposed to the
weather There numbers of such instances in
all parts of the coast belt OF this state.
The near approach of fall and winter Decessi
tates immediate attention to these matters and 10
nearly every one Of these the farmers are
unable to make the needed repairs Unless some
outside aid can be obtained these deserving and
industrious people will suffer still more severely
than they already have.
Not living inside of Charleston, Summervlle,
any other incorporated city or own, these suf-
ferers can not obtain relief from the generous con-
tributions sent already by fellow citizens The
relief so far has principally from cities and
towns, and will go to the suffering in other cities
and towns.
1t is therefore suggested that an appeal made
to the farmers of the country, through the Nation
al and State Oranges, might not only result in the
relief of their destitute brethren of this sate but
would also give the opportunity to the agricultur
al interest to show their generous and kindly i'm
pulses Their charity would go directly to farmers.
Mr.. Murray, whose address is West River, Md,
has agreed to receive and give the proper direc-
tion to any contributions which may be sent for
the benefit of these suffering people.

Decision on Lien Laws.


Judge Phelps decided interesting point un-
der the mechanics lien law. In 1884 Mr.. Jesse
B. Irvine leased ground and commenced the erec-
ton of several houses on McCulloh street, near
Bloom street. but suspended operations when the
buildings we're half finished. After the houses
had changed owners several times, and the work
had been suspended year, Mr.. Robert M. Cham
bers purchased two uncompeted houses and be-
fore resuming work executed a mortgage on his
leasehold interest to Mr. Charles S. Sauerland.-
The persons who furnished the labor and mate
rails alter the resumption of work filed lien claims
and the auditor of the court allowed all the pro
ceeds the sale, about $780, to the lien claimants
The mortgage excepted to the account, but Jud ge
Phelps decided that although the mortgage on the
uncompeted houses was made before the work
and material furnished yet the lien claimants
had precedence, and he overrued the exceptions.
Mr. Richard Bernard represented the lien credi-
tors, and Mr.. John Poe the mortgages.

A Sign Of the Times.
Elticott City Times.

Among the vice presidents of Prohibition
meeting held in Baltimore this week was Cardinal
Gibbons. The distinguished prelate was not
present in person, but he authorized the use of
his name for the purpose for which it was asked.
When the head of the Catholic church in America
puts the stamp of his approval upon prohibition,
as Cardinal Gibbons has DONE it is high time for
men of all parties to pause and see what this move
ment means and where it will end. 1t is sig
ni6cant if not curious phenomenon in American
politics, and if the Catholic clergy espouse pro-
hibitior, new era has dawned for the temper
ance cause. What the Catholic church can effect
through its perfect organization and system is
not a copundrum for time to solve. Tne past
shows rs what it has done.

spoke as follows:
"The people of the United States accept with
gratitude from the brethren of the French Repub.
lie the grand and completed work of art we here
inaugurate. This token cf the affection and con
sideration of the people of France demonstrates
the kinship of republics, and conveys to us the
assurance that in our efforts to commend to man
kind the excellence of government resting upon
popular will we still have beyond the American
continent steadfast ally.
"We are not here to day to bow before the rep
resentation of fierce and warlike god filled with
wrath and vengeance, but we joyously contem
plate instead our own deity, keeping watch and
ward before the open gates of America and greater
than all that have been celebrated in ancient song
Instead of grasping in her hand thunderbots OF
terror and of death, she holds aloft the light which
illumines the way to mans enfranchisement.
ave will not forget that Liberty has here made
her home, nor shall her chosen altar be neglected
Willing votaries will constantly keep alive its fires
and these shall CLEAN upon the shores of our sis
ter republic in the East. Reflected thence and
joined with answering rays stream Of light sha
pierce the darkness of ignorance and mans op-
preston until Liberty enlightens the world"
