Your Chances of Success!

The city plutocrat sneers at the
new movement. One of their organs
gave large meeting of over a
thousand farmers, the name of "The
Farmers Trot."
They know nothing of the feeling
abroad. They know nothing of the
'justice" involved in this political
warfare.
You number in this state today
$4,000 alliance men in 1850 ALI
ances-and your numbers are in
creasing every day. Through many
large sections no alliances are organ
lied where we have scores of sub
scribers and earnest men. There are
to-day 10000 anti-monopolist farm
ers ready for the independent ballot.
There are 25, 900 laboring men, and
10000 nationalists. This will give
us over 100000 votes by November.
The 100000 votes will be reduced by
the Prohibitionists to 215, 900, and
$4,000 will take the banner as be-
tween three parties. But should the
Independents fail to carry the state
ticket, the great campaign will sweep
the old party legislator out of exis-
tence land put in alliance law-mak-
ers. Then a second effort will have
splendid county and township COM
mittees to keep up the organization.
The first campaign OF every party
has the disadvantage of having no
primary organization.

Brave Dakotans! Men live over
there Men who don't ask, when
they act politically, whether they
can succeed the first time or the
tenth! We take up those independ-
ent-party Dakota papers with de-
light which thrills through every
nerve-and then the sudden influence
of a home sheet brings us down into
the valley of humiliation. To think
of all this feeling, enthusiasm, toll,
investigation, labor and expense-to
break the traitorous party shackles
which puts party before righteous
ness-and then see men afraid
afaid-to stand on their own feet
but tumble to their knees and beg
for favors, crumbs, from the political
brutes who have built the prison pen
around them! Our voice is for an
Independent Party, with other
states, whether the alliances call it or
not!
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-06-27

Let every delegate be instructed
twice. First, yes or no on Independent
PARTY action. Second. not to attend
any caucusses under any excuse.
Meetings of districts to elect district
committee men, ETC., etc, are not
caucusses. A caucus is a meeting to
unite on some one candidate for
something, dragging in all who at
tend. Be We free-and let every man
represent his constituents on their
honor!

Now is the time when there are
from one to three political agents in
every township in Minnesota work
ing hard to keep the farmers alli-
ances from sending independent-par-
ty delegates to the state convention
of July 18th. They have already got
in their work in two places we have
heard from. 1t is indeed sad to see
us bow to the will of the very des-
potism we organize to crush!

What are the alliances organized
for? For the Offices? Then let us
slide back into the stable from which
we emerged. They are safer for sue
cess, than a new party! My God,
but when it gets so that America will
not organize a new party until they
can gobble up the Offices at the first
tilt, what kind of a country are we?
Shame on such an argument-that
perhaps we can't succeed!
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-06-27

Let us all forget our individual in
terest, and march forward, in two
columns if necessary-but without a
retreating footstep. Henceforth our
cry will be for one common move
ment against a common enemy.

Resumption OF the Debate In the
House OF Commons.
LONDON, Dec, 2.---In the House OF Com.
mons to-day Secretary Balfour moved that
the Irish land purchase bill pass Its second
reading.
Mr. Ellis moved an amendment declaring
that the land bill was an unsafe measure as
regarded the imnerial exchequer, and that
1t was unjust TO the occupiers Of the land.
Mr.. Gladstone said he found nothi < in
the changes made IN the bill since the last
session that was likely TO render its char
actsr moro satisfactory. There was re-
moval OF the twenty years limit, VITA q pro-

Balfour TO withdraw thu concessions re-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-In tie House to-
day Mr.. Frank OF Missouri introduced for

the distance from the central point to the
several'boundaries shall be as nearly equal
as practicable, and the population not
greater or less by more than 5000 han the
average population of the districts in the
state.
CRISP ON REAPPoRTIoNMENT.
Representative Crisp, being interviewed, is
quoted as saying: IAN apportionment bill
will doubtless bs passed, and 1t may be that
the Senate will make law OF the force
bill. We need not anticipate any great
amount OF disturbance over the reappor-
tlonment bill. IL tue measure Is construed
on a fair basis there will be nothing in it
for any reasonable man 80 biect to. In
many sections the pa sage of the bill would
be of considerable advantage to the Demo-
cratic party, for it now controls several
legislatures not ordinarily of that political
complexion. With combination of demo-
cratic legislatures and reapportionment
some OF tie newly captured states might
easily he redistrlcted.
THE CENSUS.

will cause the census bureau some uneasi-

numerous to be disregarded, and the testi-
mony of the police census seems to be con-
vincingly strong.n
