MINNESOTA INDICATED.

The Campaign Committee Knocked
F1atter'n a Pancake.
The remarkable unanimity of the
Minnesota delegation at the Cincin-
natl Convention sounded the reveille
OF a true harmony. The 80 delegates
came from every part of the state,
and although split in our ranks
was sent on in advance by the scamps
in the rear, the telegram was false.
There was a united delegation. 1t
sat down on the defunct campaign
committee with a cold, hard, unani-
nous thump-and it united the state
under the banner of the genuine al
lance.
The trouble over the Campaign
Committee is settled and settled for
ever. The State Committee elected
by the Convention to make up Mime
sota's share Of the National Commit
tee, is now ordered by the National
Committee to organize the state for
the national and local campaigns.
This settles all contention, and the
alliances and labor organizations will
arise in their united straightforward
ing upon the crusade of Justice.

The Story Of The Rear Guard.

TO this day the truth about STAN
ley's ill-starred rear guard is not full
ly known. Both sides of the contro-
versy have been presented Stanlev's
little weakly-but the public is no
wiser than at first. The friends of
Barttelot and Jameson have had a
good deal to say, and their state.
ments have been OF such a positive
and credible character as to make
them far from easy to refute. The
public, therefore, is puzzled and at a
loss to know which way to decide.
the circumstances being SO manifest
ly peculiar. The public, however. is
positive of one thing. and that is
that The Saint Paul & Duluth Rail
road is the shortest and best route
to take when the tourist desires to
go from Duluth and West Superior
to st. Paul and Minneapolis, or vice
versa. The road-bed is smooth. the
equipment the finest obtainable. the
service the most modern, the sched-
ules conveniently arranged, and the
trains fast. For this reason it ia al
ways wise and profitable to take The
Duluth Short Line, which makes close
connections for all points. Informa-

The Ohio Platform.

The Ohio State Farmers Alliance, re-
Gently met at Columbus, adopted the
following platform:
Resolved, First-That we heartily indorse
the platform of the N. F. A. and I. U. as adopt
ed at st. Louis in 1889 and reaffirmed at Ocala.
Second-Each county to have the right to fix
its own official salaries for public officers.
Third-We demand the election of the dairy
and food commissioner and his assistants by a
vote of the people, instead of their being ap-
pointed to pay partisan political debts.
Fourth-A uniform system of school books at
cost of publication.
Fifth-We favor the Australian system Of
ballot.
Sixth-The reduction of railroad passeng
rates to two cents per mile, and proportionate
reduction of freight rates.
Standardization Of all finished products
and raw material in manufacturers hands.
Eighth-That we condemn the present sys-
tenn of taxing real property as unjust, and
that all real estate shall be taxed according to
It's assessed value, less the mortgage indebted
ness.
Ninth-We demand that all honorably dis
charged soldiers, their widows and orphans be
pensioned, and that all pledges made by the
government be as fully complied with as in
the case of the bondholder.

The railroad committee of the

against the proposition to require

difference, in respect to their relations
to the railroads, between Connecti-

Mr.. Stromberg says that we pitch
ed into him in this office. So we did.
We believe in facing people with the
truth. We told him to his face that
he was actually trying to stand with
us closely enough to keep watch of
us-and secretly in league with the
bitterest enemies in the alliance; and
that we proposed to bring him out
and make him stand where he could
face the music. The charge is true.
He says we charged too much for
job-work. That is false, and his
statement that he had similar work
at half the price is false. He says:
1T has been evident to me that DR..
Fish has entertained inimical feelings
towards me all the time since was
appointed secretary by the executive
committee in September Of last year.
The doctor was then trying very
hard to get the experimentation him
self, Offering, as he says, 81, 900 with
the understanding that he should be
appointed secretary. Theconditions
OF that offer was such, as l under
stand them, that the acceptance of
the offer would have benefited the
doctor personally but not the ALI
ance."
Yes, we have inimical feelings and
we admit the facts as to his appoint
ment as Secretary by Hall and
Bjorge as the price OF his manhood.
The 81, 900 statement we do not
understand. 1t is true we offered
81 ,OO0-and 100000 copies of the
&. Wall for the campaign. But
that was when John Lathrop was
Secretary! And if the offer was to re-
suit in benefit to us why don't they
show up the written offer and explain
why and how? The matter was dis
cussed at the first meeting OF that
contemplate campaign committee,
and tabled without a motion.
Stromberg denies our accusations
as to the old played out list given
the President-Mr. Donnelly. Never
theless every word was true-exactly
as stated by us. Mr.. Donnelly did
not get the list until two weeks after
our exposure. That-is-the-tru

Columbus and slave Indians.

OhESIEh, VA, JhuudIy zJ 1881.
To 4le Editor of 6te Dispatch:
To settle q dispute, please answer the
following questions:
Did Christopher Columbus carry back to
Europe, after discovering America, a ship
load of Indians and sell them as slaves |?
Was he (Columbus) slave-trader? Were
anu Indians ever sold in Europe as slaves |?
By SO doing you will oblige.
G. b. RIcHARDsos.
Washington Irving says of Columbus
that in his eagerness to indemnify his
sovereign for those expenses which bore
hard upon the royal treasury he sent them
800 Indian prisoners whom he suggested
might be sold as slaves at Seville.
Irving says that the custom of the times
must be pleaded in Columbus's apology.
The precedent had been given long before
by both Spaniards and Portuguese in their
African discoveries, wherein the traffic in
slaves had formed one of the greatest
sources of profit. They were fierce and
warlike people and were taken prisoners
In battle.n
Irving does not say whether the Indians
in question were actually sold as slaves.
No doubt they were.
