The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-10-10

Somo Trans1ations.
One of our earnest friends in the
5th District have sent a long article, I
a translation of an article
in the "Skandinav," Wesenberg's pa
per, against DR.. Fish and the radical
element. 1t is of course expected OF
a man of the dark and shameless rec
ord of Wesenberg that he would de-
fame one who has exposed him. Nor
would it be possible for him to be
truthful about it when his whole
career has been so unfortunate Let
him plunge ahead. The other papers
in his own language, 1.-THE ''Scandia,"
and the German paper, "Volks-
freund,'' for instance), will see that
he is presented in his true light. If
the dark history OF the past is prop
erly presented by those who know
him, we do not fear his malice. If un-
truthfully presented, from different
places) then he is a wofully wronged
creature.
The translations spoken of involve
other men in incorporating the
GREAT WEST and Mr.. Donnelly ,as
the following statement will show:
"The Alliance Treasurer (Bjorge)
and Tom Nesseth, of Fertile, have
had a correspondence between them
over you and the GREAT WEST.
Bjorge said he liked Hall well; that
Lathrop was also a good man; that
he (Bjorge) had had good faith in
Donnelly before, but that d. had
been working in the alliance to do
away with the whole Constitution,
and the cause of all the attack of the
G. W. is especially and only because
Donnelly was not nominated for Gov
ernor. And so Bjorge held that Hall
was q model pattern OF man."
Letters of this character were tax
en- to Norwegian paper in Crook
ston and published. Now we are con-
ident that Tom Nesseth and Bjorge
will right this matter. OF course the
G. W. does not seek to please any
man or set of men. It's mission is to
oppose corruption at home as well as
abroad, and it asks no favors of men
for the sake OF favors alone.
AS to Mr.. Wesenberg's articles now
translated before us, we will only use
a little extract concerning our bust
ness interests. 1T says:
"The farmers begin, in good
many places, to send back the GREAT
WEST with a written statement on it
that they had no use for such pa
per as that. This is a fact. One OF
the strongest adherents to the G. W.
has certainly been Henry Plowman,
and he has nearly all the time enter
tanned an unlimited good faith in DR..
Fish and the G. w. His,good nature
has not been able to apprehend SO
black a treason as DR.. Fish's but
now he has whispered it out to one
of the members of the Central Com
mittee that he could no longer hold
out with DR.. Fish" (The reference
to the attempt to harmonic by Mr.
Donnelly and ourselves we do not
care to republish. 1t amounts tc
nothing but childish anger.)
In reference to the above miserable
stuff We can say that no such papers
have ever been returned-if SO, they
never we're received at this office. The
paper is welcomed everywhere. Right
at Mr.. Plowman's postoffice they arr
received with enthusiasm, and they
} have every confidence in it-so we arr
told by letter and by record.
Mr.. Plowman does not lack co fl
J dence in the G. w. The above miser
able fling is q falsehood. We do no
: even ask Mr.. Plowman as to it.
} truth. Our personal friendship is to-
pronounced to make it necessary.
J Mr.. Plowman, and the state a
large, know that we are working 70
the ticket when these very men (com
, mitteemen, Hall, etc., have practi
cally forbidden us to the field-trie,
to destroy our business, published u
as frauds-put in such papers as tn
