Parle County met December 18th, at
Madison, and Mr.. Donnelly was the
choice of the convention for presi-
dent. There was no opposition to
him. 1t is thought Mr.. Donnelly will
have the vote of every alliance in
that county, except the bogus affair
gotten up by a fraud on Lathrop's
part after his expulsion. A PROPOSE
ton was made by Lathrop and
Hoidale to start an alliance paper in
that county, but-it was ignominious-
~ laid ON the table. Sensible set of
people those Lac qui Parle farmers.
Thevote on instructing for Mr.. DON
nelly was AZ out of 81 present, from
not voting, but not necessarily OPP
posed to Mr.. Donnelly. The delega-
ton from Lac qui Parle county will
make a strong fight against Lathrop
being admitted to the state conven-
ton.
