Lincoln County Alliance.


Lincoln County Farmers Alliance
held it's regular meeting on the 25th
inst, quite large crowd assembled
to listen to VIM. Parrott's report as
delegate to Cincinnati Convention,
which was very lengthy and detail
ed affair; the delegate occupying
nearly one hour in. making his re-
port. In referring to Miss Mcdonald
he wished to say that he took a de-
cided stand against Miss Med. from
beginning to end, and he had no
apology to offer his constituents for
doing SO. The delegate read as part
OF his report a circular letter sent to
the Cincinnati Conference by that self
constituted state central committee
asking the conference to seat delegates
appointed by this bogus committee,
which was received with the utmost
condemnation by a large majority
OF the delegates present. At the con-
clusion OF the report hearty vote of
thanks was rendered to the delegate
for his very able report. Resolutions
being next in order the delegate with
full knowledge of the evil intent of
this bogus campaign committee in
troduced the following resolution:
Whereas, a circular letter was sent
to the chairman OF the Independent
Political Convention held in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, on the 10Th day of May
1891, asking the convention to seat
delegates appointed by said cam
paign committee thereby causing
trouble and leading other delegates
to believe that Minnesota was divid-
ed and had sent a double delegation,
when in fact only one delegate ap-
pointed ysaid committee was pres
ent and she claimed she had no cred
entails from said committee, there
fore,
Resolved by Lincoln Co. Alliance,
that we denounce in unmeasured
terms the actions of said committee
in appointing delegates to said con-
vention under the pretense of in any
manner representing the Farmers
Alliance OF the state of MINI.
Resolved, That we fully indorse
the actions of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton and pledge to it our hearty sup
port from now until the close of the
ballot box'in November '92.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the GREAT
WEST for publication.
Albert Warren was there, accom-
panied by that imported "scala-
wag," from New York, George Null
Ter, evidently brought here by War
rem to make a speech to the Lincoln
Co. moss-backs and help boom the
"State'' but the hayseeds of Lincoln
Co. have had enough OF that gang
and did not propose to hear him so
when he tried to speak he was lis
tened to for while and finally left in
disgust.
The question of the financial re-
port of the campaign committee was
next put to Warren. He claimed the
GREAT WEST had refused to publish
the report; on being questioned close
ly whether he had furnished the G. W.
with a copy of both receipts and dis
bursements he tried to evade the
question but finally said not, when
Muller answered that he believed Mr..
Phelps had furnished the G.. w. with
both.
Now Mr.. Ed. will you kindly an
swer through the columns of the G..
w. whether or not you have been
furnished with copies as above or
not. l have been trying very hard
to catch the G. W. disappearing
anything, and so far have utterly
failed. DAVID M. BELTS.
We replyto the question in another
article.
