BOOMING DONNELLY.

Mr.. Donnelly is a candidate for the
Alliance nomination for President.
OF this there is no longer any doubt.
He has set the machinery in motion
which is to bring him prominently be-
foro the new party, and other aspir-
ants may as well take cognizance of
his position. The following prettily
worded circular letter is now being
sent to the newspapers of Minnesota,
and we give it as an earnest of MI.
Donnelly's candidacy:
NEW YORK, June 90 1891.
Editor Free Press:
Dear Sir:-In the next number of
the Illustrated american, a copy of
which we send you by same mail, is a
portrait of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly as
presidential possibility.
AS Mr.. DOnnelly is one Of the fore
most men Of your state and quite
worthy to I'LL the presidential chair,
we beg that you will take notice Of
this article in the columns of your
valued Journal.
Yours truly,
TIE ILLUSTRATED AMERICAN.
Comment is unnecessary. The por-
trait of 'Hon. Ignatius Donnelly as a
Presidential Possibility" with the re-
quest that "you take notice of this ar
ticle through the columns of your val
ued Journal" carry with them unmis-
taxable proof of that the boom is on.
If the Cincinnati party is to put
ticket in the field, as seems probable,
the FREE PRESS would like to see Mr..
Donnelly head it. Not that it wants
to see the author and CIPHER politi-
cally buried beyond resurrection, but
more as compliment to lone of the
foremost men of your state" Mr..
Donnelly has not been hitched with
an Alliance halter for the fun of it.
He proposes to take a good square
meal at the manger before the crop
failure.

A Place to Grow Up.

Some years ago, Horace Greeley's
advice to $50 West, and grow up with
the country" was thought not only a
smart saying, but good counsel. 1t is
no doubt such still. but its age counts
against it some, besides which, there
is no longer any unsettled West. The
West is new, to be sure, but it has
more thriving cities with water-works,
electric street cars, eight-story build
ings, and town-lot boomers, to the
acre, than any other part of the coun-
try. For man who has his fortune
to make, the New South or the
great state of Texas, offer opportuni-
ties not to be surpassed. In develop
ment they are really newer country
than the Northwest or the Pacific
coast. To all points in the South,

THE Democratic bosses of Iowa

THE Democratic bosses of Iowa
were well mounted at the State con-
vention in Otumwa yesterday, and
rode the fiery steed of anti-prohibi-
ton, free silver and free trade at a
dashing pace. Gov. Boies was re-nom-
mated by reclamation and the bal
ance of the slate went through with
out scratch. Iowa Democrats pro-
pose to make their fight this year on
the repeal of the prohibition law, and
if successful will enact high license
law. In the wager of such an issue it
is not too much to say that they will
make strong fight. tits well known
and not denied by people who have
the courage of their convictions, that
prohibition even in Iowa does not
prohibit. The law has been repeat
eddy and persistently violated in all
the larger cities, and many men who
have hitherto been firm champions of
the prohibition enactments, have be-
come discouraged and even disguised
at the condition of things, and are
every way likely to throw their votes
quietly to the side which will give a
law that will regulate the traffic
rather than longer suffer open and de-
FAINT violation. Iowa presents field
for very pretty fight, and the out
come will be watched with interest.
While the campaign in Ohio has TAX
en- on national cast, and the out
come is confidently looked forward to
to show splendid victory for Repub-
licanism, Iowa, per contra, goes into
local contest, and the result cannot
be foreshadowed with anything like
certainty.

A BRAINLESS ATTACK.

brains, by freak of nature, were To-

shoulders, may be excused for his fire.
quent imbicile editorials and ridicu-
lous references to men and measures.
The old saying, that you can expect
nothing from hog but grunt," is
truly applicable to Wise, albeit it
may be reflection on the porker to
make the comparison. Our short
wasted contemporary seems incapa-
bic of even permitting the dead to re-
pose in peace, and while he may have
no regard for the living, it would
seem that he might at least respect
the memory Of an honored citizen. cut
down in the prime of manhood and in
the morning of future full of prom
Use, and not exhume his remains for
the purpose of penning falsehood on
the editor of the FREE PRESS. A
gentleman would resort to no such
detestable and far-fetched methods.
If Wise believes that he can bring
discredit upon the editor of this paper
by parading dead mans skeleton to
sustain his infamous attack, is only
proves his inability to discuss lirinq
questions, and to intelligently esti-
mate public detestation for such a
line of personality as he pursues.
When in St. Paul last week Mr..
Hunt was accosted by reporter of
one of the daily papers regarding his
estimate of Senator Davis, and it was
frankly given. He stated truth
when he said he was the author of
"the resolution introduced in the last
convention endorsing Senator Davis
course in the Senate and instructing
our Senator to support him for re-
election" He had no reference to the
campaign of 1886, and if Wise knew
anything he would not have to be told
so. Mr.. Hunt has never had to resort
to stealing a dead mans honors,"
and by the grace of God he never will.
He expects to get through this life
with what brains the Almighty gave
him, be they more or less, and trusts
to Providence that they may not Ngo

seem to have with the editor of the
Rerieao.

THE STATE FAIR.

The thirty-third annual Minnesota
State Fair will be held at Hamline,
commencing Monday, September It'll,
continuing the whole week, ending
September 18th, and it promises to
surpass any previous Fair yet held on
these grounds. The location unex-
celled, the buildings and stalls hand
some and commodious, are ample
and will accommodate the large ex-
hibit anticipated. The people OF
the whole state should feel that they
have an interest in the State Fair,
and contribute literally of the best,
so as to surpass any exhibition hith-
erto made of Live Stock. Farm Ma
chinery, Poultry, Dairy and Vegeta-
BILE products, textile fabrics, etc.,
etc.
The success of the next State Fair
depends largely upon the interest
taken by the farmers as class.
Heretofore there has not been any es-
pecial features in the way of work or
display, by the farmers of the State;
This year the management intend to
make the farmers prominent at the
Fair. In order that they may take an
active part in Institute work during
the fair week, tents and cots will be
provided on the grounds by the soci-
ETY., for the use of such parties as may
make application for them to Mr.. o.
G. Gregg, Superintendent of Farmers
Institutes, with the view of attend
ing the Institute meetings that will
be held in the evenings of the Sth,
9th, 10th and 18th of September.
Parties will be expected to provide
their own blankets.) Experts in all
branches of agriculture will be in at
tendance as speakers, and the meet
ings will be made interesting and in
structive.
The Premium List has been care
fully revised, and liberal prizes run
through all departments. Attention
is particularly called to the premiums
offered for the best displays of Agri-
cultural and Horticultural products"
by counties: they are 5000, 500, and
$50. Blue Earth county should adj
vertise itself by making good eXhi-
bition at the fair, and by taking one
of the premiums. As individuals
farmers should also prepare some
thing to swell the aggregation of the
products of the farm, the shops of our
State.
Ample provision will be made for
reaching the fair ground by railroad
and by electric street cars. All
freight is unloaded and reloaded on
the grounds.

Mr.. CLEVELAND got black eye in
Salt Lake City Monday. The Demo
Gratis refused to adopt resolution in
dorsing him for president, because
they regard his position on the silver
question inconsistent. 1t makes lit
tie difference what excuse the Demo-
Gratis offer for declining to support
Cleveland for president. The fact is
they are convinced that he cannot be
elected. 1t were better that they own
up, and not keep the ex-president on
the anxious seat.

what of his candidacy for Congress in

pie mentioned up to date have de-
clined to become candidates" for
the Republican nomination. In fact

got wind Of what was up and quietly
stole away. Several officers are after

GEN. ALGER is a man of discerning
mind, and when he remarked at San
Francisco the other day, speaking on
the Presidential question. SIN my
judgment Blaine can have the nomin-
alton if he wants it,, he put himself
on record as knowing the Republican
sentiment on this question and know
ing, has no fears in expressing it. Mr..
Alger had been accused of Blooming
Blaine. 1t is peculiarly significant
when man like Gen. Alger, who him
self has on eye on the Presidency, will
come out and defiantly announce that
Mr.. Blaine needs no booming-he
can have the nomination if he wants
it,"

THE Republicans could go farthe

THE Republicans could go farther
and fare worse than to nominate Sen
ator Cullom, of Illinois, for President.
Interviewed on the question, the
Senator is quoted as saying:
"If the nomination is rendered me
you can bet / won't throw the honor
over my shoulder" and if it is going
to be free-for-all fight, and the Hi
nOis delegation is for me, why, then
I'll be in the field. Blaine can have
the nomination if he wants it, but
doubt if he will encourage any move
ment to put him in the tield.'
With Secretary Blaine out of the
way, Senator Cullom will loom up in
formidable array.

REPUBLICAN farmers in the First
district who supported Harries with
the expectation that he would act
with the Alliance in Congress will be
pleased to learn that the successor to
Congressman Dunnell says he will
vote with the Democrats on the or
ganization of the House. Of course
he will, and on all other questions
where Democrats want him. This
only shows that Alliance votes make
Democratic Congressman. 1t is not
usual for the tail to wag the dog, and
the farmers who vote the Alliance
ticket will find it out after while.

The Rerieac fails to mention the
name of Judge Severance among the
prominent men who addressed the
G. A. r. at the encampment in Man
kato last week. The omission is ap-
parent, the Judge roasted Judge La
mar of the Supreme Bench for a
speech he made at the unwilling of
the statue of jeff Davis, lauding him
to the skies, as one of the greatest
men that ever lived. The ReUieaU
deems the failure to mention the
Judges name as sufficient rebuke.
Judge Severance will live Just as long.
Lake Crystal Union.
Correct, Bro. Neff. The particular
reason why the Recieae failed to men,
tion Judge Severance's justifiable re-
Duke Of Justice Lamar's unpatriotic
remarks, was because the views Of
Lamar and those of Wise perfectly
accord. They are both strong sympa-
thizers of the ''lost cause" while
Judge Severance is nothing if not a
true patriot. 1t is to the Judges
credit that the Recieao singled him
out from all the speakers at the en-
campment and declined to make even
a passing mention of his presence,
much less to give space to line of
! his manly remarks.

Investigation Brings Conviction.

The Farmers Alliance of Kansas
gives evidence of dissolution, and this
condition is brought about through a
thorough investigation by some of its
prominent members of the channel
into which it is drifting. When the
Alliance first organized it set forth its
declaration of principles" by disa-
vowing politics, but as soon as
it could be manipulated by politicians
it was made to do service for the Dem
ocratic party. This statement is
supported by evidence in every state
where the Alliance party has a foot
ing, and no one can truthfully gain
say it.
The other day the Seventh congress
sional district Alliance held conven-
tion at Great Bend, and adopted the
following resolution:
We regard reform principle and
measures, without reformed men to
execute them, as impotent for good as
the decalogue in the hands of devil
for the salvation of sinners.
Logan sub-alliance of Washington
county recently adopted the following
resolution with but one dissenting
vote:
WHEREAS, The pledged purpose of
the alliance was declared to be "to
develop better state of mentally,
morally, socially and financially" but
which has been thwarted by designing
Demagogues who have crept in and
made of it manipulation of politics
in secret chambers. Its teachings by
Mrs. Lease and of her ilk have made it
anarchistic and in many ways disloyal
and degrading in its tendencies. 1t
has disrupted and destroyed social re-
lations in every precinct in the coun-
try, and by its many wild demands in
financial schemes has done much to
further impoverish us and impair our
standing and credit as state in the
nation. And
WHEREAS, The developments of
the third party, which now controls
the f. A. and l. q. of Kansas, are of
such nature as to convince us that
the membership is being led uncheck-
ed into the ranks of the Democratic
party, and entirely out Of its course,
which was to further the interests Of
the agricultural classes. We have re-
peatde instances where members vote
the Democratic ticket and 60 unchal-
lenged, while those who vote with the
Republican party are pronounced as
traitors, and are, indeed, spurned and
insulted without other cause. This
long train of abuse has caused us to
believe the purpose of the county AL
lance to thrust us out will not cease
until accomplished by means fair or
foul. And
WHEREAS, We look upon secret
political organiza tion as on line with
anarchy and the Malta, which would
eventually cause the downfall of the
government. Therefore,
Resolred, That we hereby sever our
connection with the f. A. and I.U. of
Kansas, which has so shamefully be-
trayed the high purposes which it was
pledged to when first organized.
Resolred, That we extend our SYM
pathy to those of our brethren who
with us united with the order intend
ing to honestly work in the non-parti-
san spirit for the principles as set
forth in our declaration of purposes,
but who are now counted with those
who have made of it a rabid political
institution.
