Have come to us from our subs. in
other states on account of our exclu-
sion of general matter to fight our
state battle. We wonder at this.
However, thankful for the patience,
we make a solemn promise to our
friends from Superior to the Gulf,
that after the coming State conven-
ton, we will enter the field at large
again. To win a state from the
grasp OF the plutocrats is cause
enough for sacrifice. We have
fought this fight too earnestly to
give it up. Victory appears before
us. If SO, the field will open of itself.
If defeated again, We will let the rob-
bers and traitors have their way
and we will take ours. The farmers
OF Minnesota are all right. The pol
iticians are legion, however. To-
day, the horizon is growing bright
er than ever before.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
I did not get my GREAT WEST last
week, and naturally supposed that
my subscription had expired. Ii it

and am sorry for l do not want to
miss a single issue.
1 herewith enclose you O. postal
note for $1.OO for which please renew
my subscription one year and send
me "Our Republican Monarchy" as
advertised in the columns of the G.
w. We have learned two important
truths lately in regard to Mr.. DON
nelly and DR.. Fish, as authors and
writer's: ("Told you so-knew it all
along.") That limit to the powers
OF these two to WELD tie pen, which
is said to be mightier than all the
two-edged swords in christendom has
not yet been reached. Our delegate
to the State Alliance from down this
way will 60 instructed to. elect Mr..
Donnelly as president. simply be-
cause it's woodchuck case with us.
We have not a man in the state who
has stood the brunt as steadily and
firmly as long as he has. We are
on the eve of perilous times and we
need, in fact must, have such men at
the head, or be ruined by the faction
that is bent on our DOWNFALL. .

Seeing the overwhelming major
ity of the alliances for Donnelly, the
railroad and bankers agents have
invented several schemes to circum-
vent the election. One of these has
been to present the candidacy to at
least two grand good alliance men
who are Mr.. DIS friends. They both
declined. Hall is a dead duck, and
now they have a new scheme, which
''for cruelty to animals will
down any bug-pizen in the market.
The new plan is to have a "griev-
ance committee" to hear claims for a
week or two, while the convention
organizes an amateur theatrical
company to while away time and
pay expenses. After the grievance
committee has grieved in sackcloth
and ashes, they will then decide
whether the grand old Roman is
good enough to take Picayune Halls
place or not. The Ideals, Hall is too
good and Donnelly not good enough.
Hall has done nothing but bankrupt
matters, Donnelly has been a genius
of organization. That settles it.
Now let grievance committee come
in and swab off the old ulcers, SO we
can fight more and vote less.

1t is all fixed up now That just be-
fore the balloting for president begins,
the name of prominent 5th District
man is to be sprung as a ''compro-
MISE" There is no compromise.
O'Brien Hall hasn't twenty delegates
in the entire state. What a compro-
mise indeed!- between Obrien Hall
with Is plutocratic railroad men at
his elbow-and Ignatius Donnelly
with nearly all the alliances calling
for him! Of course the prominent
alliance man" will not accept the
nomination. We know him, and
know him too we'll for that! And yet,
two weeks before Hall was "compro-
missed" he came to our house and de-
nounced the Sprague and Hodgson
outfits, and wrote us: They are
greater rascals than took them to
be- Then they tickled his little
head with a northumberland he
grabbed it as frog does fly.

Mr.. EDITOR: The "bony man" of the

time, and don't see any hopes for him to
ret apy better until he takes a few doses
of those .santi.swell-h pills'' that he
was speaking of. I am very sorry that I
can't sympathize with him. have never
had any experience in the disease, and,
therefore, don't know how. am very
sorry, also, that I ever wasted time and
paper writing his name. But if God will
pardon me for the offence will never be
caught spelling time and paper again by
writing his name, for if / don't quit his
head will be swelled clear out of exist
ence. And then, again, he may still con.
tinue to write, but I shall never be 80 fool
ish as to be found reading his ''scrubby,"
trashy remarks, for an very sure that
will not be benefited by it. But, Oh!

Obituary.

Bro. Robert Raymond Simpson, eldest
son of John w. Simpson, died at his
home October 9th, 1890.
"Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to
wither at the north winds breath,
But thou hast all seasons for thino own, Oh,
DEATH"
Bro. Simpson was called away In the
midst of happy and useful life. He was
dutitul son, and great comfort to his
parents. His happiness was increased by
choosing as his companion Miss Matte s.
Huggins, lady Of most amiable qualities,
who shared with him the responsibilities
of life. They were happy together and
had no idea of being separated so soon.
Bro. Simpson was noted for his piety, and
lived model life as young man, leaving
an example for the young men OF Pendle-
ton and. the surrounding country to
follow. Flo was an obedient son, devot
ed husband, an afTectionBte father, a good
neighbor, and true friend He was
member Of the Baptist Church. He loved
the Church, and often expressed his de-
sire for the salvation of the sinners. He
hated the prominent evils evils of the day,
which ruins the character, decreases hap
piness, destroys the soul, and would
gently and lovingly persuade others to
shun. these ruinous evils. His race is
run, his battle is ended, and lie was
"more than conqueror through Him that
loved him.
May God comfort the hearts Of the be-
reaved family, and may this dispensation
of His providence prove great blessing
to the family and friends.
