At the meeting of the Republican
state committee held in this city OH
tuesday of this week, it was decided to
commence vigorous fight on the Alli-
ance candidate, Hon. s. M. Owen. And
this is the way they have set about to do
It,. A short time ago an agricultural
fair in one Of the northern counties de-
sired to draw a crowd by advertising
that Mr.. Owen would be there to all
dress the people. The asked, however,
that Mr.. Owen speak on some other
sscefs than WsrrIpo politics. TT To this
ance state committee, wrote a
letter saying that in that case the fair
people must foot the bills. This they
agreed to do, but, later on,they declined
to do so. and Mr.. Owen did not deliver
his address. Several OF the directors
of this fair association, being of the
lowest class of ward heelerS, then
fastened off to st. Paul and laid the
correspondence they had had with Sec
rotary Warren before the Republican
committee, which that body has now
decided to publish. On being asked
about this matter last evening, Mr..
Warren said:
You know, of course. we have no
bank. The Alliance is a peoples party
and not party of plutocrats, In the
conduct OF this campaign we have re-
yersed the ordinary methods of meeting
campaign expenses. The people are
paying the bills and not the candidates.
Accordingly the central committee has
asked the people to provide for the
expenses of our speakers. Whenever
we have had applications for speakers
We have asked for a contribution to
cover expenses. We have felt this
necessary, especially in the cases of
agricultural fairs, when Mr.. Owen was
wanted simply to draw crowd and not
to make political speech. The Re-
publican state central committee | am
Informed intends to make a little politi-
cal capital by publishing one of my
letters, in which l asked the directors
of certain agricultural society to pay
expenses. 1t will be intimated that Mr..
Owen is travelling on railroad passes
and speaking for pay. The fact is he
has had no railroad passes, but
on the contrary, has paid regular
mileage wherever he has gone.
If they can make political capital out of
this, they are welcome to it. If 1.-The
grand old party" that party that once
stood for principle. that had convictions
and was celebrated for its devotion to
them. has sunken so low. is so destitute
OF good reasons why the people should
continue it in power that it must resort
to such pusillanimous and puerile efforts
as this, then it is in bad way. No bet
ter assurance could be given that 1t has
outlived its usefulness and has no
further excuse for existing.

greSSlOnal committee has appointed the

A large-sized row is brewing in the Re-
publican party in Pine county. Ed G..
Gottry is the editor of the Pine City
Pioneer, and, besides being staunch
Republican, is an uncompromising op-
ponent of that other good Republican,
Hon. l.. H. McKusick, also of Pine City,
who Is now running for the
state senate in that district. Mr..
McKusick came down to st. Paul several
days ago for little help in his fight,
and claims that Editor Gottry had been
down little earlier and ''queered'' him
with the committee. Mr.. McKusick
called on Chairman Heatwole yester-
day and denounced Gottry as a bolter
and threatened all sorts of things if
what he termed as the working Repub-
licans of the district were not recog-
uized instead of Editor Gottry.
To the Editor of the Glope: Please permit
me to inform you that the set of resolutions
which appeared in the papers of to-day, pur-
porting to have been passed at the meeting
of the colored citizens union on the 9TH
inst, are false. Burgett Magee, Wade & Co.
lican money to capture it. but their
little game was discovered, and happily
carried over, as the GLOBE states, to
the next meeting. The intelligent young
men composing the G. G. Q. know that they
cannot swallow the whole Republican ticket,
and the above firm are included. Whatever
a mans political affiliations be, let him have
the honesty to stand by them. The Republi-
can committee gang claim that they passed
the above resolutions which would include
the Endorsement of Snider and the MCKINLEY
bill. If any of those fellows will meet me on
the rostrum, will discuss these great meas
ureS with them. j. F. CURTIS
