more. There were two delegates
from our county. The one from our
alliance cast his informal ballot for

Perhaps / would have been a dele
gate if had not stood up before 200
men and said l would vote for Don
nelly first last and all the time, and

whether he was nominated or not.
They said ] was too cranky. Don
nelly was a great man but he had
too many enemies. Great Caesar, that
is the reason / like him. That is the
reason | have come near having my
head cracked several times.
If haul or Hall had been nominated
he would have stood no show here.
| think our best plan is to try and
elect Owens and get the Legislature
both now and two years from now
and then send Mr.. Donnelly to the U.
S. Senate. But of all things let us
fire the gang that are running ruin
ing] things, at our next annual meet
ing; and amend the constitution. so
the representation will be from coun-
ties and not from each alliance. Ii
there were only two rthree delegates
from each county it would be more
even as it is now the counties so far
away from head quarters have but
little representation.
This letter is written Just to relieve
the pressure on my thinking appara-
tus, and to let you know that after
being Donnelly man for 25 years,
and sending over 100 subscriptions
to the G. W. | am not going to for
sake my friends when they are down
in the lip.
But no part OF this is for publica-
ton. | do not wish for more notorie-
ty. Envy is the price all men pay
for fame.'

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
After coming home from the con-

coming from any other source is sell

A few days after the convention |
started out through the county or
ganizing; and there are now l town

Brown county. Two townships have
no alliance yet, but after harvest we

"No democrats, no republicans any
more.' That is our countersign.
On the Both of August we will have
a meeting at Iberia, three miles south
of Sleepy Eye, in this county, for the
purpose of organizing a county ALI

1t is intended to create an Inde-

does not understand it as selfish
