Donnelly's letter asking the presidency of
the Farmers Alliance OF this state was the
principal topic of conversation around the
hotels Yesterday. AS to its effect there
seemed TO be but one opinion. which was
voiced BY farmer from Donnelly's own
county, who said that it had settled the Sage's
chances and that if he went before the con-
vention he would be defeated so badly that
even his hopeful spirits would be consldera-
bly, dampened ''Donnelly boasts that he
made thirty SpeecheS for the Alliance ticket
in the campaign" remarked this gentleman.
Sarcastically. but he forgets 10 tell us that
in those speeches he seldom, if ever. men
toned Mr.. owens name, and he really did
us Il great deal more harm than good by his
speeehes. Then his man Fish made a few
speeches. but i'll them he never said
word for Mr. Owen nor even the local can
didateS of the Alliance. | remember speech
Fish made At Worthington. 1t so disguised
Alliance men there that he was barred out
of Rock and other counties in southwestern
Minnesota. am glad the Sage wrote that
letter. 1t Will insure a full meeting and
Donnelly'S certain and overwhelming defeat
The Fifth district viii be solid against him.
the Second and First nearly so, and the
Third Will be pretty evenly divided. Inc
farmers of Minnesota justly hold him ana
his paper, the Great West responsible for the
defeat of Mr.. Owen, and will be glad OF
chance TO get even with him."
Capt, George ". Haigh came up from Blue
Earth county yesterday and Is at the Mer-
chants. The captain was rubbing his hands

obliged to attend
'Win Mr.. Donnelly get the support of the
Blue Earth Alliance men:'
Not to any extent" answered Mr.. Haigh-
"Of course / came away from there before
this letter got around, but L haven any
doubt that Blue Earth will be pretty solidly
against Mr.. Donnelly, as the entire state
ought to be-"

D., is stopping at the Clarendon. Judge Rose
is d stannch Democrat who was appointed 10
the bench by President Cleveland and elected
DN the people on the ADMISSION OF the SCdtS.
The district of course was heavily Repub-
lican, but the personal popularity and emf
nent fitness of Judge Rose won him the
election. Personally. he is one of the most
agreeable and entertaining of men. He is a
pleasing eonversatiOnalist, and above all, a
Misunderstanding man. He will remain in

is one of the most popular Democrats in
Southern Minnesota, and had it not been for
the fact that his friend. Hon. E. G. PAIL, was
named for lieutenant governor this year, Col.
Baasen would undoubtedly have been given
place on the ticket.
