The GREAT WEST has had it's say
about the Mimi. State Convention,
and does not care to say more. The
farmers knew of Halls antecedents
before he came to st. Paul, and yet
voted for him. We therefore decline
to publish the letters sent us and the
resolution passed against him. But
our attention is called to an article
in the Morris Sun, published at Halls
home. We do not understand it.
We cannot positively aver that it
represents Halls views, but if it does,
he is very strange man-unless in
deed disappointment has estranged
him from his own handiwOrk. The
article says:
"The great convention is over that
has been SO anxiously looked for.

confidence of all who know him. He
has never held office, even in county
affairs and although the Jump to the
high position OF state senator will be
sudden, his friends claim his inteli-
gence will quickly give him access to
legislative duties. He did not seek
the office, and his selection was the
result OF concession of the position
to Lincoln county, where he was
deemed the most available man OF
the Alliance.

that l have lived in this county for
five years, and in this village for over
two years, and am we'll known to the

not even see me at all in his official
capacity. There is another man who

the same with him, each of us had a

heard others say that they were not

A Tribute From Abroad.

The "Press," of Pueblo, Colorado,
says:
Mr.. IGNATIUs DoNNELLY played a
magnanimous as we'll as an impor-
tant part in the convention OF the
Farmers Alliance in Minnesota a few
DAYS ago. On the first ballots he led
as a candidate for the nomination
for governor, and withdrew his name
on the grounds that some of the
leading members of the organization
were hostile to him, and he did not
think if nominated he could poll as
large vote as some other candidate
could. His ground was so well taken
that his leading opponent felt con-
strained to also withdraw from the
contest, with the result of giving the
nomination to new man and one
whom it is supposed has no personal
enemies. Mr.. Donnelly is a brilliant
man and as scholarly as he is BRILL
ant. He rises immensely above the
ordinary mob OF place seeking politi-
clans, and acting on the impulses of
their small natures the mob have
combined to ridicule, defame and
destroy him. They are unable to
appreciate his scholarship, his oratory
and his genius. but feel he is different
from them, and that his wide sweep
of thought and splendid powers Of
rhetoric are d reflection upon them.
His strength is his weakness in a
political sense, and his eminence
above his fellows the cause of his ILL
success.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Enclosed you will find small sum OF
money, for which send me sample
copies of the GREAT WEST. The
GREAT WEST is without shadow OF
doubt the greatest window in Mime
sofa; through which the oppressed
farmers and laborers are receiving so
much valuable light. Some OF it's
rays OF light have penetrated to this
county, and are doing much in show
ing and convincing the farmers where
the shoe pinches them. The GREAT
WEST should be in the hands Of every
intelligent English reading farmer.
/ must say and congratulate the
farmers for the independent stand
they took on the 18th OF July in
nominating men from their own
ranks to fill the Offices of this great
state.
We can build up an Alliance Trust
Co., for the purpose Of alleviating one
another in our mortgage dilemma,
with very small outlay of money to
each member. Supposing the Ali
ance has $4,000 members and that
each member put in one dollar per
month for twelve months, which
would be 100000, that could be
loaned out at 5 per cent. 1t would
in course OF very few years help
every farmer out of his dilemma.
The members that did not need a
loan should received per cent interest
for their money invested.

Close examination of the new Silver
Act shows it up as a fraud and a de-
ceit. The Iowa Tribune brings this
out with great force, when it brings
into comparison the bill repealed by
it. The former bill compelled the
coming of 100000 per month.
The present bill compels the coinage
OF none. The Secretary is to pnr-
chase up to 4, 100000 ounces if it is
oferedl And he is to purchase at
1the market valued" In other words
he can make the value himself. being
the heaviest purchaser.
When experience can yield it's testi-
mony on this measure, remember
those who refused us free coinage, as
with gold-and put in this silverine
fraud.

The La Crescent Co-operator has
been spelling for a fight with us for a
long time-giving us little signs. So
we appropriate the following just to
give him chance:
''The leaders who have been quar-
reling in the Alliance camp, have all
been left out in the cold as they
should have been. 1t is necessary to
have unity to give strength and any
who work for themselves only should
be left to help themselves.
Now we are a regular double-fsted
fighter. Many good men can't un-
derstand it. We don't make peace
with rascals until compelled-and
then under protest. Let us tell Mr..
Brown that he may as we'll let us alb
solutely alone The GREAT WEST
will fight this corruption if it loses
every subscriber it has, and makes
an enemy Of every man, woman and
child in the country. Then it will

ments-we don't ask Mr.. Brown for a
nickle. We are comfortably fixed
and are on the fight for principle

ward to by all parties, the old liners
republicans fearing independent
political action, and the democrats
perhaps hoping for it; while the prin-
cipals were not at all unit. How
does it now look, that independent
political action has been taken, and
the nominations made; well, to an
outsider it looks dubious. If some
leading alliance man had been placed
at the head of the ticket who con-
siders alliance principles the first
question OF the day, we would have
believed they were sincere, and
deserved success; but to nominate a
a man so little known in alliance
circles looks very much as if he was
placed there to do the least harm
possible to the coming man ON the
regular republican ticket
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-08-01
Brown, of the Co-operator, says:

Every trick and intrigue is re-
sorted to by these unprincipled rep
rebates, to check the work, but still
it goes on and in many cases when
the organizers do not get one-fourth
what is due them. We have only re-
ceived $14.OO for all the work we
have done for the Farmers Alliance,
although we have been promised a
reasonable compensation for a part
of the work, we have not received it
and for most of the work received
nothing, yet political dead beats and
insignificant ours who have no prin-
ciple, indirectly work against the
cause representing the farmers well
fare and by lies, slurs, and innuendos
seek to keep them divided"
And yet Brown stands by the most
dirty, loathsome political reprobates
on the earth. If we lie, and our
oaths are perjuries-then Brown
ought to help put us in prison. The
GREAT WEST has put more dollars
than Brown has cents-yes, possibly
ten times more, into this work-and
still he wants us to give it all to the
old parties-via the scamps who sell
us out. When we want to support
the old parties we will do it in day
light.

Marshall News Messenger.
Farmer Orren Mott, the Alliance
candidate for state senator for this
district, comprising Lyon, Lincoln
and Yellow Medicine counties, made
us pleasant call last week. He is
a young man, Of some thirty-seven
years, modest and unassuming in
appearance, and the first impression
he gives one is Of an easy going, con-
sentative disposition, that would
guarantee him against enmity no
matter how long he lived in q COM
munity. Mr.. Mott says that while he
is not a speaker. he has had some
experience in lyceum debates, and he
has had no trouble in publicly ex-
pressing hts sentiments, hence his
canvass will probably be made before
gatherings of farmers at the district
school houses. He enters the field
with the favorable condition OF not
being known beyond his immediate
neighborhood, which will save him
from the stone throwing usually
given to well known man. He is q

The Progressive Age, Of Mime

speaks thus Of R. j. Hall:
mo man ever occupied the respon-
sible position of president of an or
ganization who SO inadequately rep
resented the sentiment of the body
that created him, as did President
Hall. He was respected in his posi-
ton, but his plans and purposes were
not only defeated but made the OBJ
ject of ridicule and scOrn.'
And then the editor refers to Halls
antipathy to union of effort for re-
form! But, dear me, Bro. Dobbin,
don't you know that a score Of pro-
hibs contended against us, even Bit
terly, and sustained the INSCRIPTIONS
puppy who sold out his honor and
his friends last March, and has since
peddied out the alliance to city plu-
to Gratis? 1t is terrible the attitude
OF those men!
The Age goes on to say:
"What pity that these good
farmers had not come up to our con-
vention three weeks ago. A union
would have swept the state. AS it is
now, the battle Of the divisions must
60 on another season."
Why, the alliance was not asked ?
Mr.. Donnelly wondered why it was
that the Third Party people did not
move for a conference.-the of course
we could get nothing from Hall-a
man thoroughly opposed to prohibi-
ton.
