Hon. J.W. Foster appeared before

opposed the bill which passed the

recent action Of the supervisors 81

The recent Annual Meeting devel-
oped one surprising fact. They were
not the material of which political
conventions are made. They came
here 500 strong. Four hundred and
fifty believed in the rottenness of the
gang which for years had either
emasculated the alliance, or tried to
do SO. The said ring had but twelve
to fifteen men all told. And vet in "a
hours they had captured nearly one
half the alliance Now, friends, had
we known that three-fourths of tie
delegates had never attended a con-
vention before, an effort would have
been made to warn you. No man
who has principle at stake has any
right to sit down and wait for the
enemy to come, in friendly garb, and
work on you. Action is the word.

Mr.. Jos. Keenan, thought that be-
ing an agent for the Deering Imple-
ment Company was no Disqualified
ton for alliance work. That is diff
ference OF opinion. 1t ought to be q
sufficient reason for his not being a
purchasing agent that he lives with
in ten miles of the south border of the
state-and where his communica-
lions with the selling and purchasing
world are very limited. Good
sense would have taught that with
Geo. Sprague, Geo. w. Haigh, J. J.
Furlong, and Jos. keenan, right
there in one little huddle, some peo-
pie might think they proposed to
''run" things! And they certainly
did-into the ground.

The function OF a Credentials Com
mittee are not those of Judiciary
Committee. They are not to expound
the Constitution of a body. When a
credential is presented to them it is
their purpose to see that their Gre
dentials are bona fde, and that ends
it. When a member of an alliance is
elected a delegate or alternate his
credentials pass. If any member
wishes to expel him from the suballi-
ance that is another matter. Once a
member, his credentials are all the
documents he needs.

1t may occasion some surprise to

who went over to Minneapolis to get
two wheat men to come over to the
State Alliance Wednesday to "down
Fish" on his Liverpool wheat state

ments stood-and will stand. To
break them men must either change
Liverpool markets-or lifo the prices
of wheat at the country elevator.

A Political PARTY.

A Political Party.
The policy ofthe Alliance in regard
to nominating a state tickt is shown
by the recent election of an alliance
president-and we say nothing to
disparage Pres't Hall.
Mr.. Donnelly has been the head
center of Alliance work for eight
years. He has been laid on the shelf,
year after year, for the reason that
he was strong man! A large num-
Der of our friends were enthusiastic
for state ticket. But when it came
to a test vote whether they would
stand by their eminent men even in
a body of 800, they presented ten
thousand objections coined by poll
ticians and money loaners, Though
circulated conscientiously by good
mem and downed the very man who
would have been nominated by them
for Governor! Great Cesar, what a
farce-put up man as a candidate
for Governor to meet the sings and
weapons of the hosts OF Satan, and
the corruptive influences of the minis
tries OF He'll, his Kingdom-when he
was not even worthy of the presi-
dency over yourselves!!!!!!
If the soft-shell- crab talk of the
Clarendon third-foor "cinch-politi-
cians'' could down Mr.. Donnelly
when but for Mr.. D. not one hundred
souls would have been in the hall
at the time, what in the name Of hu-
manity would have been the effect
under the unmasked batteries of four
hundred newspapers and two billion
dollars of cooperative wealth! Moth
ing is said against Mr.. Hall. The
enemy elected one of the best men to
defeat Mr.. Donnelly. Mr.. Hall will
make a good president. We sup
pose those who were led away from
their stalwart convictions expected
Geo. W. Sprague, T. C. Hodgson,
Jos. keenan,, Haigh, Bodkin and
other insurance men and machinery
agents to get together and scrape
out some gray-backed iigger or hum
CRY looking sheeptick to run against
Mr.. Donnelly!-some stock broker!
No, they did not do that-they are
too wise. They selected the very
best timber they could find. They
selected man who was too strong
to stay in their own insurance Board
owing to it's shortcomings-and
withdrew from the directorate there
of! These are the men who are al
ways selected. They reverse scrip
ture. The Bible tells US to make
friends with the Mammon of In
But here Mr.. Nam
mon comes up smiling and makes
friends with the righteous-and these
hosts Of farmers destroy their friends
to let the Juggernaut run it's cart
wheel over their throttles.
Why, you men who were not here
in that confict-do you know that
but for an experiment never before
dared in political convention-a can
didate himself rushing into the
crowds, of friend and foe, and risking
even a good name to arouse the dele
gates to the danger, Geo. w. Haigh,
land then the other Scheffer tools)
would have been elected-and the
