Dec. Both. Remember that the an
nual dues may be used to pay the
delegates expenses.
Certain elements within the Farm
ers' Alliance which have been holding
back in order to see what strength
the new movement would develop in
the political field, will very naturally
now make themselves heard. This.
too, is one of the most aggravating
dangers to be apprehended from any
source. These elements are TODAY
busily engaged in planning schemes
to capture and manipulate the State
convention of the alliance to be held
in st. Paul Dec. 80. This must not.
be allowed. The success OF the Al
lance ticket in 1892 will largely de-
pend upon who secures control of
that convention. Every Alliance in
the State should be represented in
that convention by their best and
truest men, men who are known to
be true and steadfast to Alliance
principles, and not men who are.
mere adventures on the political sea.
The control of the State Alliance con-
vention should pass into hands of
true and tried farmers, and not
representatives of any money bags.
The latter class, it is safe to say,
will make a desperate effort to sue
ceed and carry that convention bod
lily. There is great danger here.
and every true Alliance man should
commence at once to agitate the
matter of proper representation.
See that Money Bags sends no repre-
sentative from your Alliances, farm
ers OF Blue Earth county. You have
had abundant opportunity to know
by this time who your friends are,
and likewise who are the ones not to
be trusted. Beware. In the great
success the Alliance has met this fall
lies the greatest danger. The eyes of
the voters of Minnesota will watch
closely the action of the next State
Alliance, and it behooves all to move
carefully and considerably, and let
every move be made with a view of
beneftting the people, and not a GER
tain class OF cormorants, hangers on,
who have in the past endeavored to
use the. Alliance for self-aggrandize-
ment. Let the agriculturists use the
present favorable considerations to
get to the front.-Mankato Journal.
A Peculiar Tribute to Mr.. Donnelly.
The central figure of the Minnesota
legislative members elect is Hon. Ig-
natius Donnelly, and he is already
receiving no little attention from the
press of New York, Chicago and 9TH
er metropolitan centers. Donnelly
is noted at home and abroad. His
literary productions, unique and or
iginal as they are, have attracted
wide attention and no little comment.
from the pens of able writer's on both
sides OF the great waters. The Sage
OF Nininger has had more adverse
criticism passed upon him than al
most any other man in the country.
And he bears up under the scorching
paragraphs with apparent indiffer-
ence. He is a brainy man, as all
concede, and there is no doubt but
that he will be the noisiest individual
in the Minnesota Senate. The rail-
roads may as well lay in stock of
grape, for Ig. is loaded to the muzzle
with ammunition all ready to apply
the fuse. He will have no more fool
ishness with matters of state or rinter-
state. The money powers will be-
forced upon their knees before his
awful majesty and the dark path of
the transgressor will be Illuminated

Tending personages as q warning to-
others. A complete revolution is to.
be wrought in government control.
Mr.. Donnelly has shown the people in
his speeches where corruption was
running riot in high places AID told
them that they were being robbed.

thing that would save the state from,
perdition, according to the Sage
was the election of himself and the
Democratic-Alliance ticket. The peo-
pie evidently believed him, and to-
right all these ills complained of, they
now look to him as the Moses to.
