btlNOCdCY VF JuS JOho WHICH CCudlOl
Vance. of North Carolina, Introduced
into the United States senate few days
ago providing for sort of an agricult-
ural sub-treasury In every county in the
United States where the farmers of the
country can deposit their produce and
receive in currency, la the proposed
Silver-dOllar deal. so per cent of its
value. The ingenious DakOtan'S scheme
Strnck many of the delegates favOraby,
and one Old gentleman from Southern
Minnesota moved that the alliance of
Minnesota demand the passage of the
bill.
''NIr. Chairmanl" rang out in stem
tOrian tones from all parts of the hall.
Gen. j. H. Baker, of Blue Earth. was
recognized by the chairman, and pro-
ceeded to show up the folly of indorSing
something which none of the dele
gates knew anything about. The gem
erals speech was effective, and
would have defeated the OBJ
iectionable motion, had it not been
saved from so doing by the chairman's
ruling that the whole matter was out of
order inasmuch as the committee on
credentials had not yet reported, and
consequently it was not known just who
were entitled to vote as members of the
convention.
"Donnelly's first gTn was fired" re-
marked Fifth district delegate, land
it fell mighty Hat. These overflow
meetings are being held by DOnnelly
and Fish for the purpose of enthusing
the boys. This will wear off tO-mOr-
row, and nothing can prevent Don
nelly's overwhelming discontinue
when the election comes up"
THE COMING CONTEST.
'It'S DOnnellY against the field"
said Grant county delegate last even
ing in speaking of the coming contest
for the presidency of the alliance. The
Fifth district delegates will vote for any
man who can get votes enough to defeat
Donnely; it doesn't matter who or what
he may be. We don't propose to give
Mr.. DOnnelly the chance to sell us out
in the coming campaign"
But who will he the candidate that
will do up the valiant lgnatus, with or
without the aid of corporation 'bOOdle?'
This question will he settled at
meeting of the Fifth district delegates
to be held early to-day. 1t is known
that Hon. Charles Canning has been
asked to be a candidate. but he positive
y declines. There IS feeling in
several quarters to press him into
the fght-draft him, as it were.
However. the opponents of Mr.. Don
nelly in the Second and other districts
Will be consulted and union made of
all elements and factions against Dom
nelly. Some lively skirmishing was
being done last evening with this end
i'm view. and there is little doubt of the
plan succeeding.
At the Second district caucus held in
Room l6 of the capitol yesterday, John
LathrOp, of Lac Qui Parle, presided
and G. G. Hatchard, of Lincoln county,
acted as secretary. A motion that
the delegates from the Second sup
port Ignatius DOnnelly for president
of the organization called out
the remark from one of the delegates
that "Mr. Donnelly went with the Re-
publican party in the last election and
supported Merriam for governor" This
killed the motion, aided by the follow
ing from E. f. Dyer. of Window:
"At headquarters there are two
bodies antagOnlStlc, and If we sustain
this motion we are not dong what will
make a mistake. If we support this
motion we will be S lid to belong to the
Donnelly faction. Mr.. Donnelly has
been an excellent man to guide our
alliance, and wherever he is he will
continue to he our guide"
THE FIRST DISTRICT
delegates met at the Clarendon in the
forenoon yesterday and elected officers
as follows: President. j. j. FurlOng,
of Austin: vice president, j. X. Casey;
secretary, Frank Allison, and lee
turer. A. L. Gardner. The Fifth dis
trict members of the convention met at
room l6 of the capitol in the afternoon,
and held a secret session. These gentle
men will meet again this forenoon and
will then decide upon "man who can
beat Donnelly for president"
