laid out for them several weeks ago by
Congressman Snider's expert manipu-
lators. Something over 100 delegates
have been called together for the pur-
pose of renominating Mr.. Snider-an
altogether unnecessary number, as A. 81.
Hall and Col. Samuel Lowenstein, rep
resenting Minneapolis and st. Paul,
could perform the required amount of
work in much less time and with a very
much smaller expenditure of cash on
the part of Capt. Snider. The latter
will be on hand himself, and is expected
to deliver mastery Grafton defending
his vote on the Mckinley bill, and dem
onstrating the incalculable benefit its
passage will confer on the farmers of
the state
The convention will be made up of
ITO delegates, apportioned among the
ten counties of the district as follows:
Anoka, s.; Chisago. 5; Hennepin. 45;
Isanti. 4; Kanabec. 2; Pine, .; Ramsey. 27;
Sherburne. l.; Washington, g.; Wright. g.

The Ramsey county delegation will
leave for Anoka at $40 over the North

cial car to accommodate the delegates,
and it is altogether likely that Henne-
pins forty-five will board the same train
at Minneapolis.
The Alliance state central committee
yesterday issued a formal address to the
voters of the state. 1t is as follows:
To the friends of the Alliance and Indus
trial Union Party of Minnesota Greeting:
After ten years of laborious and costly agi-
tation; after continued but vain appeals.
hrsf to one political party and then to the
other for redress of grievances; after re-
peated attempts to organize the industrial
forces OF the state for common defense. and
after feeding for years upon false promises
ana Elusive hopes, we congratulate our
friends everywhere upon the complete or
ganization of the Alliance and Industrial
Union party of Minnesota
Our platform OF principles is one which
we are sure will enlist the ardent support of
every friend OF our cause, while our ticket is
such as to command the respect and enthus-
lasm of all fair-minded and unprecedented
citizens.
We are now preparing for the greatest
political battle yet known to the history of
the state. We shall have to contend with
the most astute politicians. We shall have
to confront the well-drilled and well-paid
hosts of political corruption on all sides.
Wo shall have to assai in his chosen en-
trenchmentS an enemy rich with the spols
of war and fortified by all the defenses
known TO modern politics.
We have principles-we have numbers-we
have organization, and we have talent TO put
into the held far superior to that of all our
enemies Tn one place only are we weak:
your commihee needs money for honest and
legitimate expenses. We are practically
without the means to put our vast machinery
IN motion; Or enemy well understands
this. 1t is here he expects to assail and van
qulsh US. 1t is at this point we may fail if
we fail at all. 1t is needless to say that at the
very point where we are weak our enemy is
strong. There is practically no limit to his
resources i'll this direction. Great financial
interests will come to his aid. Vast corpora
lons will fill to overlooking his Golfers with
money wrung from the sweat of toiling in
dustry. 70 that same source from which the
enemy draws his millions we now appeal for
few thousands. Shall we have them?
We seek not to debauch and demoralize
Our people; we ask for no Doodle: we want
no corruption fund Ghe main reliance of the
opposing forces), we seek only to defend
liberty, home and human rights. We shall
open books. we shall credit every dollar re-
celyed we shall charge every dollar expepd-
ed. your committee will handle every cent
committed to its care as accurately as if it
were done in a bank. Will you help US?
If every one who loves Justice and the
rights OF man will contribute a reasonable
amount, We shall have the means to place
the truth before the people and make sue
win. Beware of the enemy! He will appeal
to your old party prejudiees. He will try to
tatter yon again with fair promises Be not
deceived. He has promised before You
I'm n 10Alv oh D~l,
vator systems backed by English capital
spread all over your state like q vast net
work of fortresses, waiting to take possession
OF your crops On their own terms. Mighty
mll1ng establlshments buttressed by the
wealth OF Europe waiting to send the profits
OF your toll across the water. Behold wheat
combines, butter combines, beef Combines
transportation combines, conspiring to de.
S Sy competition and control your markets.
Thus you are yearly deSpoiled of millions.
+. Now we ask you but for a few thousands
Tor your own use to aid in stopping these
gigantic wrongs. Do we appeal in vain?
All remlltanceS should be forwarded to
Albert arren at the Merchants hotel, St.
Paul. who will duly credit and receipt for
them aud turn them over to the treasurer. j.
B. Dukes, of Minneapolis, who is under
bonds; and we suggest as further safeguard
you mail at the same time a postal card. or
enclosed letter to Darlington Phelps presi-
dent of the state central committee. at Nor
ris, MIMI, informing him how much Won
nave sent to the secretary and how you sent
1t. Be careful On your part that the money
is properly sent. and the committee will see
that it is properly used. Now, friends, re-
member we are in immediate need of funds. |
and remember also that delays are dangerous
and that many hands make light work
that small amount from each will not be
felt by any. Do your duty. and in November |
we will rejoice together over the triumphant !
election Of S. NJ. Owen and his associates.
