Rev. A. Warren was elected to rep
resent Lake Benton Alliance at the
State meeting-instructed to vote
for state ticket. Mr.. H. R. Keller
writes us that their county will take
care of their local expenses and try
to raise something for the state.
Now gentlemen, if the State expen-
ses are not provided for then there
should be no state ticket. Always
bear in mind that when you vote fo1
a state ticket you vote for a $500
bill to put into the campaign treas

Many citizens were quite anxious
to hear the opinion of DR.. Fish upon
the Alliance candidate for the gov
ernor's chair but not one hint did the
DR.. give. Although the GREAT WEST
is claimed by many as an organ of
the Merriam ring we fail to discover
it by his utterances. The scoring he
gave the bankers, certainly would
not indicate his preference for a gov
ernor of the state from that class
Window Citizen.
No sir, the DR.. does not want a
banker for an alliance candidate, fell
low-citizens. If we wish to nominate
a banker we can easily do so in one
of the other party conventions. A
plain, broad; well-up-in-years, un-
known farmer of horse-sense. is our
choice.

That intellectual illumination and
brilliant mudfusticator known in
Blue Earth County as the Mankato
Register, is troubled over the cam
paign fund we are aiding to raise.
Now, sonny, don't worry. Every
dollar OF that fund will be paid to a
campaign committee land the GREAT
WEST will not handle it. So dry
your eyes and wipe your nose-let
your parents put you to bed.

That vote of the senate for free
coinage was q blind. 1t was done
with the understanding that it was
to be COMMITTED" to a Wall Street
committee (coinage) in the House,
and Speaker Reed defied the consti-
tuition in the attempt to do SO. Sen.
Ingalls, voted for it-and then went
to the house and induced a farmer
representative to vote against it!

Another Party Lie.

In Osborne County, Kansas, the

more mortgages had been released

We are asked if the GREAT WEST
has selected hotels and made special
rates on the railways, as at last
March meeting. No, 1t was not
possible. The moves OF the Hall-ring
have been SO secret that we have
only known what was going on by
keeping a reporter on their track
and we have seen nothing but polit-
ical scheming and secret conferences
so far. The GREAT WEST is not Gin .
on these-and never will be.

The LeSueur Sentinel says it is
claimed that the GREAT WEST is
owned by Gov. Merriam. It is as
tonishing how this lie spreads. 1t is

that we are bitterly hostile to an in
dependent party I'D that thousands
of people in the "backwoods" are de-
ceived. They are wholly false-of
course.

We believe that when the Clark

In a very generous review of our
address at Rochester, the reporter OF
the Record Union makes us deliver
the following sentiment:
1.-The farmers ought, and it was
for their vital interests that they did,
make their own organizations, elect
their own representatives and see that
they get their just deserts. They
must at least lay out what they de-
sire, and vote with whichever OF the
two great parties that would endorse
their platform. They must break
loose from the old parties, unless
they received endorsements from one
or the other, for their homes ought
to be OF more moment to them than
any party
+ This is a serious error. DR.. Fish
never utters such sentiments. He de-
clared right up and down, horizon
tally, for independent action. The old
parties do not, and never will do any
thing for the laboring masses.

The attention, of the Farmers
|Call," a Quincy journal, is called to
the fact that the State Librarian of
Indiana DUNN has investigated the
farm mortgage matter in that state.
He gives the successive increases
from 1872 to 1879 and from 1880
to 1888. The total in 1888 is given
at over $500, 100000. Itwould seem
as though there must be some mis-
take in this, as it is largely in excess
of former estimates.

At the Kandiyohi County Alliance,

it-but when. the. vote was taken
there was not a single vote against
it-every vote was for new party.

People who still cling to the Ma
tional Banking symtem, through
some fearful obliqulty OF either the
senses or the conscience, should read
the following, and then tell their
open mouthed dupes that National
Banks only make 8 per cent profits
annually. The extract is taken from
the N. Y. Financier:
At auction during the past week
one share of the Chemical Bank
stock sold for $4,9SO. This is the
highest price which the Chemicals
stock has ever brought. A Wall ST..
broker, after the sale,. remarked:
"a share in the Chemical Bank is a
good thing for a man to die and
leave in a strong box"
This bank has only been running
ten or eleven years, and long ago
repaid to it's stockholders every dol
lar put in as capital And yet the
banks of the q. s. swear to a profit
of less than eight per cent annually.

The Tuesday evening exercises Of the
semi-annual convention Of the Augusta
district. Epvorth League, we're held in the
Methodist church in this city. There was
. good attendance on the exercises that
consisted Of . praise service at 7.30. fol-
lowed by an address by the Rev. w. s.
McIntire Of Lewiston.
The subject of the address was "Advan-
tsges of Denominational Young Peoples
Society for Methodism." The address was
vigorous, earnest and calculated to wake
the hearers to full realization Of the i'm
portxnce of aiding with sympathy and every
legitimate means Of encouragement the
Epworth League. He dwelt with emphasis
on the grand work the league was ,ing in
bringing converts into the church. Being
a denominational order the members feel at
home and do not experience any of the IN
pleasantness that may rise from sectional
differences in their midst a. he believed
were liable to arise in interdenominational
societies. The members of the church
should see that it is policy to assist the
Epworth League. The local league has the
advantage of being in sympathy with .
union of workers as wide as Methodism
itself all united as it is by blood ties.
