am glad to see tho editor Of the
Courier give Mr.. Muir, president of tho
Alliance, credit for what he said IN ia
vor of Gov. Miller and no doubt the
editor very reluctantly gave Mr.. Muir
this credit, and while he wrote this edi-
torial he had to taunt HIM with little
snub, or at least mako it rs light in Mr..
Muir's behalf as he could, and it is q
strange wonder, however, that Mr..
Muir was able to obtain so much mercy
from an editor who before had 50 sew
erely criticized him while there was
danger OF farmer leader being put in
Office In behalf of the farmers, but it
shows the EDITORS impa1tiality and
Mr.. Muir's advance towards friendliness
with our editors. But now what has
Mr.. Muir done: What crime has ha
been guilty of to be so sneeringly criti-
cized by different editors. This is what
my brain is getting so tangled up about
and to think he was elected president of
such large body of intelligent farmers
as now belong to tho Alliances of North
Dakota. But the farmers and some Of
our editors is two different things.
How terribly mangled up did Mr.. Ira
Lampman come out through the editor
isI mill just before the election and 500

in the place of Mr.. Muir. Mr.. Loucks
was ground In the same mill and receive
ed an unmerciful lashing while in ONCE
but the farmers praised HIM. Now I
am attempted to believe we farmers ara
all mutton-heads and ought to 60 to our
newspaper editors for advice as to tho
election of our officers or else the edi-
tors are trying to fool us. Who can
set me on the right track! lam anxious
for light on this dark subject.
