RE AID! FARMERS, READ

HEAD! r AKIN ERS, READ!
Wteu the Farmers Alliance was first or
agauized it had, and deserved to have, the
Esympathy Of large majority of the mem
IAets OF both thegieat political parties in
minnesota. Its ends seemed to be legiti-
mate if aot praiseworthy and the people of
Sue State, depending largely upon the agri-
5ciisturai sndnstry for it's permanent prosperity
stood ready to concede any reasonable de-
Isnands that might be made upon them in
behalf of that industry.
As the order grew, its demands were form
plated and placed before the legislature for
enactment into laws These legislative as
sem bles-each of which was composed Of a
i majority of practical farmers-caretuly
u scanned the claims OF the Alliance, and when
ever they did not conflict with clearly es
taafshed principles Of law or equity, they
were setssRted-or, if they were not enacted
sttto 9aws, 1T was the assured fault Of the
sarmer members of the Legislature them
selves
Gradually, however, as the order grew, it
was discovered that it would probably meet
WiUs. the usual fate of similar organ.

Of destruction under the selfish piotage of
demagogues and place seekers. The
pected has apparently come to pass. There

Hcae politicians who have engineered the
movement in this state thus far during the
;ampaign, have now determined to turn the
movement over bodily to the Democra tic
siafty-
## THE FIRST MOVE
q this direction was taken on Tuesday
seete'nber 23d. when, in parior '.A' OF the
Merchants Hotel in the city of St.
= l,asai, Messrs. Darlington Phelps Albert
Warner, T. q. Hodgson. Carlton Judson,
flames H. Baker. G. W. Sprague and W. W.
srwia held consultation with Michael Dor
III, William NJ. Campbell, P. j. Smalley, and
tser leading Democrats and there and then
,argained and agreed to substitute the
tame O. Adolph Biermann DemocratiIccandi-
late for State Auditor in the place of Hon.
, ILL., Rahilly who had withdrawn his name
rom the Alliance ticket for that position.
PLAN NOW IS
It's arranged between the above named cabal
assuming to represent the farmers of Min
,esota. to allow the regular candidates nom
mated by the mem bers of the State Farmers
nlianee in convention assembled, to drop
VI the ticket one by one and substitute
he names of Democrats nominated
nc sae same position. And while this dam
ahha scheme is being put into action the
owfers and shouters O the so-c called Alliance
headquarters at the Merchants Hotel will
woclaim to the world that "the Reru blican
;t.efe Central Committee is bribing Alliance
audidates to desert the cause. 1t is thus
soped to hold them firmly in hand Tor the De-
uoeratic ticket. .. .s- ~
