demhatory resolutions to President
Harrison, the Minnesota delegation in
congress and,each of the justices of the
supreme court. This resolution, pub
lshed exclusively in yesterdays GLOBE,
runs as follows:
Resolved. That the secretary of the State
Farmers alliance be instructed to transmit a
copy of the resolution in regard to the rail
road decision of the supreme court of the
United States to the president of the United
States, to each of the judges of the supreme
court, and also to each OF our senators and
representatives in congress from the state OF
Minnesota.
This resolution effectually disposes of
the statement that these resolutions
'were reconsidered and laid Oh the
table,"
The only matter or resolution recon-
sidered was that in relation to the call
ing of state and national conventions of
the alliance during the coming summer.
Mr.. Donneiiy, after looking over the
field seems to have arrived at the con-
cluSion tfat7a convention would not suit
him this year at adj in Minnesota. His
reasons Tor this decision are not at all
hard to discern. But Mr.. Donnelly is
not running the alliance at the present
time, and he found that no amount
of ''capping" for Governor Merriam
could prevent the executive committee
from giving the members of the alliance
throughout the state the privilege of
saying whether or not they wanted
convention called to consider the DAN
gerous conditions now staring the
farmers of Minnesota in the face. This
reconsideration" merely referred the
matter of calling a convention to the
subordinate alliances. Ii sufficient
number of the subordinate alliances
vote in favor OF holding such a cOnven-
ton their action will be reported to the
secretary and it will be called later by
the president.
The old fight between the Hekla and
the Dakota alliance insurance cenapan-
les is still on in alliance circles, al
though no direct action was taksn
at this meeting. However, as far as
this is concerned none Will be taken.
The officers of the alliance are now
overwhelmingly against indorsing either
or any company.
Il believe in allowing the members of
the alliance to get their insurance where
they can get it cheapest and best" said
President Hall.
"That's my view Of the matter" re-
marked Hon. john b. Hompe. II Think
| shall take out some insurance in the
Hekla, but if Mr.. Wardall can furnish
us better insurance at a lower rate Of
cost | believe IN having it SO arranged
that we can go to him or his company"
This view OF the matter was heartily
Endorsed by Secretary Lathrop, and no
insurance companies or schemes will be
Endorsed by the executive committee.
The subcommittee on printing of the
executive committee spent all day yes
terdav in making arrangements for the
publication of the report of the pro-
ceedingS of the annual convention held
in st. Paul last month. President Hall,
Secretary I.athrop and Ignatius Don
nelly compose this committee, and will
probably be engaged several days in
preparing the report for the printer.
"Will the alliance hold a convention
this coming summer for the purpose of
nominating a state ticket" asked
GLOBE reporter of a prominent member
of the executive committee yesterday.
Eyes, sir, am quite sure that they
will do so, although hardly think a full
state ticket will be placed in the field"
was the answer. II think the cenven-
ton will decide to nominate only a
candidate for governor, and make the
whole fight of the alliance OH governor
and members of the legislature. /
know further that several prominent
gentlemen are now being considered as
candidates fer governor, who would be
perfectly satisfactory to the alliance.
The time is ripe FORE popular uprising,
and believe good man Oh the alliance
ticket could be elected governor at this
coming election"
The Farmers Alliance of Minnesota
is now stronger than it has ever been
before, aud, without intending to dis
parage the services performed by pre-
vious official boards, it can safely be
said that it is now better Differed than
it has ever been before. The president,
Hon. Robert j. Hall, of Stevens county,
is practical and leading farmer of the
Fifth district, respected aud admired
wherever he is known. He brings to
the office large experience and a mind
well stored with information on the
questions of the day. John Lathrop,
the new secretary, comes from the
southwestern portion of the state, and
is, like his chief, well qualified for the
