wool Republican journal though it is.
sees clearly through the schemes of
Donnelly and Fish, and makes the fol-
lowing remarks about these gentlemen
ana their peculiar manner OF support
ing the Alliance ticket::'
Donnelly and Fish are after Secretary
Lathrop, of the State Alliance, and the next
issue of the Great West promises to be q
scorcher. Ii Donnelly had been elected
president OF the Alliance. and Fish secretary,
ernor, and Fish had carried out his campaign
boodle-fund scheme. all of which these twain
endeavored to accomplish, but were thwarted
by the bona-fde farmers the Great West
would now be singing low-scented dltties,
Donnelly would have been cracking jokes
instead of frowning frowns, and every AL
lance man would have been. classed among
the angels. AS it is, it is otherwise.
The Preston Times, edited by an Off
cial of the Minnesota states prison, fol-
lows the lead of the Mankato Register
and ''roasts" the sage very severely. 1t
asks: "Why doesn't the Farmers Alli-
ance take tumble and everlastingly
bounce or ignore the old sorehead and
chronic dissension propagation, lgnatius
Donnelly? The Alliance has no use for
men whose sole ambition and delight,
when things don't seem to be coming
Just exactly their way, is to bust every
thing to SmIthereenS, or at least to
attempt to. Donnelly's oral eXpositions,
glboerish is the proper caper, at the re-
cent meeting of the Alliance executive
committee in st. Paul, wherein Secre-
tary John Lathrop was his anterior
mark, to create diStruSt and diSsension
in the ranks of the Alliance his Interior
aim, was impudence pure and simple.
and leaves it very plain upon the face OF
1t that the old sage of Nininger is run
ming away very fast with the idea that
what he doesn't know isn't worth know
ing, and that what he discountenances
and disapproyes must go to irremediable
smash"
The Glenwood Herald, although very
friendly to the Alliance movement, has
no time for Fish and Donnelly. Last
week, after quoting all article from the
Willmar Argus TO the effect that Don
nelly would probably get enough sigma
lures to secure him place on the state
ticket as a candidate for governor, the
Herald comments On Fish and Donnelly
after the following fashion: "These
two rOgues are loud in their cries for
purity in politics, but about the best
is to get down and cut. They are both
separately and collectively
and hardly worthy the name 'men;'
but custom makes it necessary for be-
ings who wear pants and coats to be
called by that name. Their motto is
rule or INDEPENDENTLY the latter"
Col. G. II. Graves, the speaker of the
last house of representatives, is out of
politics temporarily, at least, and will
not be a candidate for the state senate
this year. The colonel wanted to be
candidate for lieutenant governor, it is
said. and falling to receive the nomina-
ton for that Office he prefers to remain
under cover during the coming CAM
paign. His letter declining to be cali
didate for the legislature is as follows:
Il feel obliged to say at once that the en-
crossing nature of my business affairs this
year makes it impossible for me 10 spare any
time for legislative or political duties. 1t
happens that l can probably do more for
Duluth by attending to the grain business
this next year than in any other way, and
others can fight for her in the legislature just
as well. l trust they will send men of abil-
lty and honesty whose influence will be felt
there"
