We have received grand, concise,
eloquent and effective letter from
Bro. 81. L. Burgess, of Amor, Otter
Tail County, on alliance politics-and
the attitude OF the 5th Congressional
District. He says the soul, the heart
Of his district is all right-and that
they will vote right. His condemna-
ton of the bankers minions of St.
Paul is not only emphatic, but logi-
cal and just. We regret, more than
we can express, that at this this time,
(Monday a. n.y. it is impossible to
publish before the convention. 1t is
a column orso of the clearest materi-
al on the Hall Lathrop-Scheffer clique
that has been received at this Office
and with all, very temperate.

FOREIGN Money.

We see exception is taken to our
statement that the grain men OF the
northwest have borrowed foreign
capital to move the wheat crop OF
Minnesota and the Dakotas.
We repeat it-and we shall prove it
by the actual letters written by the
elevator companies to foreign banks
to secure the money.
Pretty pass when we have not only
to borrow foreign money to move
our crops-but actually are driven to
take Elevator "Shinplasters" and
''store trade''- because our gov
eminent will not issue treasury notes.
And why not? Simply because Wall
Street says all currency shall be bor-
rowed from bank at private inter-
est!

There promises to be dispute
over the delegate from Alliance No.
844, Lake Stay, Lincoln county. The
president of the alliance, James Hos
ford, the only party entitled to call
a special meeting, called one Dec.
9Th; but there was no one present
but himself. Subsequently on the
18th of December, the Vice Presi-
dent, 1.-THE President not being alb
sent called another meeting, with
out any consultation with the presi-
dent, and they elected delegate to
st. Paul and three delegates to the
county convention. 1t looks like a
snap game. We hope the parties in
terested will settle the matter among
themselves, and Justly.

Kandiyohi County Alliance met
last Friday. Eric Olson and Tom
Hodgson were there and put in their
worst work, and although the effect
was to leave the delegate uninstruct-
ed, the actual feeling was strongly for
the Sage OF Nininger. We hope Eric
Olson will not run in debt to the
landlady at Wilmar as he did the
poor widow woman in st. Paul! The
latter tried to collect nearly $500
board bill OF him. Tom Hodgson did
not go in Jim Hills private palace
car, as last year.

Mr.. Muller states that we are tear
ing down the Alliance! That's too
bad. This recent Importation from
New York city ought to go out and
feel of the pulses OF the quite 700 we
are Godfather to-and see the dying
elephant kick. Mr.. Muller, when the
bankers gang which uses you are
through with you, you may come to
us and we will feebly stroke your
beardless chin with palsied hand,
and tell you something you don't
know, with fading breath. Mean
time, try to be a man in the sense
God designed you.

Putting It Strong.

John B. Copeland, OF West Con
cord, Dodge County, writes us that,
in his opinion, R. J. Hall is utterly
unfit for the office OF president OF the
Alliance; that he is against the inter
ests of the movement and is running
the Alliance down shamefully; and
that another year OF his government
would end the Alliance in Minnesota.
To use Mr.. Copeland's own en-
phatic word, "Hall isn't fit to pre-
side over a pig pen."
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-12-26

voutly to be wished by the whole
Hodgson family. And then he says
/ told James J. Hill that if he would
get me a government office I would
stand between him and the farmers.
! brand Hodgson as q lara hired
liar; and q hired liar is to the ordin-
airy liar what the purchased assassin
is to the ordinary murderer. Mr..
Hill is no friend of mine, but defy
this Infamous fellow to procure from
Mr.. Hill q statement that lever made
any such proposition to him. ! dom
think Mr.. Hill would father such a
lie even to please Hodgson and in
lure me-"

Now is the time when the compro-

brush to meditate-"who the old

against the harmony hand-organ-

We have received an article on the
reduction of county salaries, with
which we agree most heartily, and if
it does not appear this week it will
next. There are county officers in
this state-and alliance votes put
them there receive So, 500 a
year to run the office ($1,5OO for
"'clerk hire'') when 81, 800 alone
would be first-class pay. 1t is time
that county taxes were reduced.

The president of the coming ALI
ance Convention will be asked to ap-
point a committee OF at least ten of
the best men in the Convention to
meet the editor OF this paper and
take up the matter of wheat trans
portation. He has much to place be-
fore them, and wishes the material to
come before the Convention from the
hands of Committee.

The capacity OF Tom Hodgson for
lying in the interest OF the plutocrats
who pay his salary, reached the cul-
mination OF infamy when he stated
that Ignatius Donnelly made pro-
position to stand between Jas. Hill
and the farmers. Mr.. Donnelly
throws q challenge into the teeth OF
this companion of Jas. Hill to show
that he, Donnelly, ever made any such
proposition to him or any one else.
1t will not be forgotten that Jas. j.
Hill picked up this poor man, COM
paratively unknown except through
his brothers-money brokers and
lawyers-and invited him to a jaunt
in his private palace car to Montana
and the coast-and that the alliance
man accepted and went!

The Alliance Aid Association

In reply to numerous letters re-
ceived we desire to say that the Gen.
eral Field Manager of the National
Alliance Aid Association will come in
to Minnesota early in January to be-
gin active work.
All letters pertaining to the Associ-
alton in this state may be addressed
to Gen. Field Manager, Alliance Aid
Assn, Huron, s. Oak.

Overwhelming!

We now have advices from over
three hundred alliances, and 81 coun-
ties-and we find that the Donnelly
delegates at this time number more
than two to 0ne-and most OF the
zones are undecided. Hall has no
standing whatever. Over 200 letters
are piled on our table which we are
unable to publish for want OF room.

More Lies.

Tom Hodgson's capacity for the
manufacture of CanardS seems to be
colossal and inexhaustible. He came
out in a recent number of the Mime
apolis Times in an unprovoked at
tack on Mr.. Donnel1y. Mr.. Donnelly
replied through the columns OF the
Fergus Falls Journal,-he was in
that city at the time-in an interview
in which he said:
II am not popular with the Hodg-
son family" said Mr.. Donnelly. Il
just beat one of them for state sena-
tor in my own county so badly that
he hardly knew he was running, hence
their tears and these lies. Hodgson's
communication is lot of slush. Al
ter making series of charges against
me, he adds: If these things are
true land some of them are) then
the men who oppose Donnelly are
Patriots" etc. But fif they are not
true, and he admits some of them are
not, they are not patriots. As to
the story that 1 wanted Sabin to
send me as minister to England it is
too ridiculous for serious considera-
ton. The only ministership ever
had offered to me was by Pat Kelly.
He said he was willing to send me to
the Fiji Islands, because the inhabi-
tants were cannibals, and that there
was a lively probability that they
would eat me-a contamination de-

As soon as the Convention is fairly
organized there should be demand
made at once for a financial report
of the expense OF the Executive Com
mittee, number of meetings, time con-
sumed, business done at each meet
ing, what called for, and amount of
mileage especially that paid to
members travelling on passes. And
the per diem pay with no sessions is
an item worth calling for!
We would especially like to hear
from j. B. Hompe on the matter OF
passes. We regret that this early no.

permits them to eek up" this matter.

shell. There's music in that report

Let us state that at least three mem
bers of the committee request us to
call for this report, feeling that they
are dragged into an unjust extrava-
gance by the Scheffer- Watch ring.

While the party press and their
bosses are patting Hall on the back,
and interviewing our late campaign
ers with laudatory columns, the fight
on the GREAT WEST is going on with
no let up. How many readers of the
G. w. are aware that over 100000
was recently invested by the leader OF
the servile gang of gold-watchers to
break up this institution? Think OF
that, you men who question our at
titude, and our knowledge of skull
duggery going on! Think you that
men who receive $4,000 a year fancy
salaries, and $500 on worthless notes,
from banks and insurance companies
under these men are the men to trust
the Farmers Alliance to?
Why, you men of brawn-if one
half the facts which we have publish
ed concerning this gang had been
placarded in the domain of Lucifer,
Satan would have been beaten at his
own elections!
And yet men still cling to these evil
genii-to men who go on long junketa
in palace cars with Jim Hill-and
men who give gold watches to Of

Now the earth is being leached and
lyed even unto the leprosy borders of
the deserts, to find some man big
enough in his boots to beat the
grand old Sage OF Nininger! But it
can't be done. The man who stands
up against Ignatius will get hurt-be
he ever so worthy. The bugle blast
has gone forth, and Justice awakes !!

Otter Tail County is going to send
Donnelly delegates generally. This
is celebrating, after Hompe's de-
nunciation OF Mr.. D., calling him a
skunk and certain other expletives
which this paper would not repeat
for decency' s sake. We have a lumin-
GUS record of Mr.. Hompe's political
monkeyings, fled away for six
months past, which will make very
interesting reading.

A CYCLONE OF LETTERS.
Monday Morning Donnelly.


From this time on we are compelled
to merely draw a statement from the
flood OF letters. 1t would require
twenty papers to publish all the
"God-bless-you' epistles:
Bro. NJ. L. Degree, a Mcleod coun-
ty stalwart says: ut is always with
pleasure that 1 get new subscriber
for the GREAT WEST" Their Alliance

man. He is the man to have at
the head OF the Alliance!"
Bro. T. c. Maltby writes that the

Fl. L. Burgess, ESQ.,, OF Otter Tail
county expresses the opinion that
Otter Tail county will prove true to
the cause we represent.
Bro. Vermilyea, OF Dover, Olmsted
county, writes that three-fourths of
the alliance men of his county are for
Donnelly. He is the delegate for the
Both.
Bro. Curry, OF Pennington, has
just returned from a trip through
Mcleod county, and says that that
county has become solid for Donnelly
although one year ago R. J. Hall
had many friends there.
Brother Hubbard, president of the
Claremont Alliance, writes that Mr..
James Dodge is elected delegate.
''True blue for Donnelly."
Carl Hegna was elected delegate

he was rebel soldier, but he scratch

for the first time in his life-"and all
the old rebels did the same at our
voting precinct" Glorious letter.
IL. Walker, a good earnest friend
from Gilman, Mimi, writes a kindly
letter-says: "Go on with the good
work and never tire in well-doing. I
shall do all l can for the Alliance and
GREAT WEST"
Bro. j. L. Lang, Sec. of Wasioja
Farmers Alliance, wrote us a good
letter while we were chasing alliga-
tors in Sebastian River, Florida. He
says all their alliance men repose
great confidence in Mr.. Donnellv-
1.-THE prayers of the straight alliance
men are for him." Mr.. Tucker was
elected delegate.
Bio. Hosmer, of Adrian, sends us
Kellogg's New Monetary System.
We will soon review it. Many
thanks. He also writes: 81 want to
tell you that like you, and that 1
like the style of the GREAT West
in making no compromise with
fraud. We will fight it out on that
line if it takes all summer. Hallway
right is not right
The Window Alliance comes up on
deck with Donnelly delegate-Chas.
Chaddock- with instructions. The
county is Donnelly throughout
with scarcely any exceptions.

The Speakership.

| y y :
The Speakership.
We asked one of our strong men.
and q farmer, to write us his views as
to the matter Of taking up the speak
ership question at the State Meeting.
The following is his response:
"At the recent meeting of the Blue
Earth County Alliance, on motion of
Mr.. O'Connor, the delegate to the
Annual Meeting was instructed to
use his influence to secure the endorse
ment OF the State Alliance for Hon.
E. T. Champlin, one Of the members
elect from Blue Earth county, for
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives.
@This is good idea. There are
several candidates for the speaker
ship who are seeking the support OF
the Alliance members of the House,
and some OF them are getting up
combinations with the old political
parties to secure the place; and some
OF them Alliance men are believed
to be supported by the railroad cor
porations, who are very anxious to
control the organization OF the COM
mittee, SO as to present hostile legis
lation. The Alliance members OF the
House will be most of them, members
of the State Alliance convention, and
would no doubt be glad to have the
whole matter discussed and acted up
on. They cannot afford to make any
mistake in the man they put in the
speakers chair. If he is a cunning,
foxy sneak, he will sell them out. AS
the success of the Alliance movement
in 1892 may depend very much upon
the course pursued by the Speaker,
the State Alliance is in duty bound
to consider the question and express
it's preference. If the Alliance mem
bers of the House follow the sugges-
tions of the State Alliance, as to the
right man to vote for, they will be
relieved from all personal RESPONSE
bility should evil results follow. But
if they refuse to listen to the grand
council OF the great organization,
and elect some slippery tool of the
plutocrats, some schemer from way
back, some instrument OF the corpor-
ations, they will have to bear the
burden on their own backs, should he
sell the people out, and the burden
will crush them.
''Now in saying all this we do not
mean to reflect upon Hon. E. T.
Champlin. He is an able, honorable,
man, with large legislative expert
ence; an old-time member OF the
Alliance, and a tried and faithful
friend OF the people, in whom all may
repose confidence.
"Let the State Alliance discuss this
matter in all it's length and breadth,
and express it's preference. Let the
local alliances speak through their
delegates - they stand nearer to the
people than any other body OF men in
the state. And they will speak calm
~ and carefully, because the future
OF the Alliance itself may depend
largely on the settlement of the
Speakership question:

We hear that all the sub alliances
OF Marshall county are instructed for
Mr.. Donnelly.
Comfrey Alliance, S72, Brown Co.,
elects delegate and instructs him
for Mr.. Donnelly.
1t looks as if even Otter Tail coun-
ty would give majority of it's vote
to Mr.. Donnelly. In addition to the
sub-alliance already announced we
note that sub-alliance No. 317, of
Western, has elected j. D. Harker, a
very able clear-headed man, as their
delegate; and passed resolution ex-
pressing their ''entire confidence in
the abilities, courage, patriotism
and honesty of Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly" and directing their delegate
to use his very best efforts to elect
him president of the State Alliance.
Carver County is speaking out.
The alliances at Dahlgreen and Lake
town have elected delegates to the
state meeting favorable to Mr.. Don
nelly. The Chaska Alliance follows
suit and elects FIR. Miesler, afriend of
Donnelly.
The Pine Bend alliance. Dakota
county, met last Saturday night and
elected Drury Hildred and F. {. Malt
oy, to repl esent them at the meeting
OF the state alliance to be held in St.
Paul, Dec. Both. They are favorable
to Mr.. Donnelly.
