canvass or accept nomination under

bringing the senator to the belief that to

hotel, Minneapolis, there being present:
Hon. Jonathan Simmonds, of Little
Falls, chairman; Hon. j. p. Wilson. of
st. Cloud, and proxy for Adam Bede.
| Mr.. SimmondS represented the balance
| of the committee by proxy. 1t was de-
cided to hold the convention at Little
Falls, Sept. 20.
The members of the committee are
unanimous in expressing their opinion
that there would be no coalition with
the Farmers Alliance i'm the Fifth dis
| trict, as a straight Democratic ticket is
to be put in the field. The candidates
| r. Baldwin, of Duluth, president of the
chamber of commerce there, who is a
| man of ability and popularity; A. j.
| Whiteman, of Duluth; Judge L. l..
Baxter. of Fergus Falls. and j. P. Will
son, of st. Cloud.
The executive committee of the
Farmers Alliance met at the Clarendon
hotel yesterday morning and put in an
| all-day session in examining the books
of Secretary Lathrop. Those present
were Messrs. Hall, Poore, Lester,
| Stromberg. Bjorge and Donnelly, the
Hompe and ex-Representative J. j.
Furlong, who were unable to be present
on account of pressing business duties
at their homes. This investigation was
really the result of malicious charges
made by DR.. Fish and Mr.. Donneily in
| the Great West against Secretary La
| throp, and afterwards taken up and
| echoed by the Pioneer Press.
ITO understand the animus of this
| investigation" said member of the
Grant county alliance yesterday, lone
| must go back to the last annual election
| of the Alliance. when Mr.. Lathrop was
elected secretary largely through the eff
forts of Mr.. Donnelly. who hoped to
| Have III hdtLllOp oil dlly III ulO u uOduO
! against the interests of the farmers of
the state. To Donnelly's surprise Mr..
I.athrop allied himself with President
Hall and the opposition, and since then
has been subjected to all kinds of
| abuse. Since the sage's last defeat
at the hands of the Alliance the
attacks of the Great West have become
more and more bitter. Some time since
Messrs. Poore and Lester, of the finance
committee, were appointed committee
to investigate the charges of DR.. Fish.
All Mr.. Donnelly wants is for the eX-
ecutive committee to give him a cause
to bolt and declare for Merriam, and
this is just what we DO not propose to
give him.
The report of this committee was
made Yesterday, and covered Mr.. La
throp's official life from the beginning
up to June 80. Only one error was
found in all this time, and this was in
favor of Secretary Lathrop. This was
in an entry of cash RENTED to Treas
urer Bjorge. Mr.. Lathrop had sent him
| $4,000. and. forgetting the exact
amount, had entered up but SS5 on the
books.
But this report didn't please Mr.. DON
nelly, who had evidently determined to
raise row, and he demanded that the
books be examined clear down to date.
To please the sage this request was
granted. and the entire afternoon and
evening was spent in going over the
books, Mr.. Donnelly Directing to almost
every entry. Mr.. Lathrop had spent
S25 for an Office desk in order to obtain
place to stow away the records of his
office. This, Mr.. DonnelJy insisted,
should be stricken from the books, and
poor Lathrop made to pay for it. Next
the secretary's expenses during the
Alliance convention were objected to
by the indefatigable sage, who insisted
that the expenses of that convention
ought to be borne by what he termed
1.-THE political end of the Alliance" In
