Our Wisconsin correspondent this

We should think that some of our
alliance men and labor men would be
ashamed to be led around by the

even their own counties, spew them
out as so much poisozl-ana then

Minnesota, writes to us from Pipe

there would be human flood in St.

the Capitol.
Peter NJ. Gideon, OF Excelsior,

Wisconsin is waking up. The feel

Dakota never was more earnest

Nebraska is no longer slumbering

Iowa only appears to be resting.
She will soon move ahead in earnest.
Iowa has led the northwest, and will

During the first year of this papers
history the Exchanges" ran up to
nearly 900, and new ones were being
constantly requested. This year we
have been mercilessly cutting down

organ, becomes a heavy burden.

The GREAT WEST has received a
very complete itemized account OF

not received until Tuesday evening.

When a man elected on q demo-al-
lance ticket, as a lifelong alliance
man, but with the shadow OF politi-
cal treason hanging over him, walks,
down the street and holds a CONVEX
sation like this, he should, be spotted.
81 believe that the monied menwhl
be willing to pay something for help
when the usury bill comes up
"But," says the man spoken to,
cit wouldn't be a good thing to do
to 90 back on our principles
"No, but then you can't tell but
what their plan villa be the best after
ALL"
When the vote comes, that evil
voice is found voting with the pluto
Gratis, and carrying others with him.
Now, let some one say, the GREAT
WEST implies wickedness, but can't
back it up. That is true, because
the person spoken to is wise enough,
and we are wise enough, not to get
into their demon. clutches. But the
time will come, as it has come to
others, when the door WILL be
thrown open-and with safety.
That we cannot give names is not
our fault.

We see that Albert Warren has
gone back on Eric Olson. He wrote
a letter to us demanding that we re-
tract the statement that Olson had
anything to do with the "State"-a
newspaper controlled by Warren, or
bv the democratic party-don't
know which. 1t is cruel stab at
Olson-and from Warren too!

The labor interests of Duluth are
not pleased with their efforts to estab-

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
What il che matter with the Execu-
tive Committee and what is the use
Of wasting further time or space in
writing or resoluting on the State
Lecturer business? The Office is COM
additionally vacant. 1t is some
body's business to fill it, and the
sooner that business is attended to,
the sooner will the Minnesota ALI
ance show to the world that it is sot
running q side show 70 the amuse-
ment Of the plutocratic, powers and
the Twin City Dailies.
But is we are to have. any longer
run of the play let the Alliances,
through the GREAT WEs9, express
their opinion on the question at
once. Let them be guided by BUsI-
NESS, and not gallantry OF senti-
ment.
There is no time to waste in girl
play on the Office of Lecturer:
The State Alliance is without lee
turer-an Office OF the utmost 'l.npor-
tanee. If the state is to make q
stand for industrial liberty in 1892
there is not a moment to spare.
The Alliance needs a Lecturer
with ability and an organizing. mo-
tive power far beyond that Of a
young inexperienced girl, though
she has marked talents in that di-
rection. The times demand Leo.

or be Influenced by the plutocratie-
press OF thesState. But will say
that will disrupt the Alliance. Does,
the great body of toilers that are.
members Of this Alliance lack the in.
tegrity and manhood necessary to-
uphold the. Executive Committee in $
filing a e0nstitutionally vacant Of.
flee?
If living= up to organic law under
which the Order exists will dismember
the alliance let that be the closing
act and ring down the curtain on
such a farce as the order now pres
ents.
Ii the farmers Of this state prefer
Industrial slavery to liberty let them
have it.
At it's LASS meeting Roscoe Centre
Alliance passed the following resolu-
ton in regard, to the purchase OF the
GREAT WEsE, without an opposing
vote:
Resolved, that we are in favor OF
the proposition submitted by the
Executive Committee of the State AL
lance in regard to- buying the GREAT
WEST.
The following was also adopted by
a full vote:~
Whereas, at the annual meeting of
the State Farmers Alliance, against
the constitution of she Alliance. Eva
Mcdonald was elested State Lee
turer,
And Whereas, said, Eva Mcdonald
apparently works with. the money
power, backed by the plutocratic
press, and against the alliance.
Therefore'be it Resolved, That the
Executive Committee should immedi-
ately declare the office OF State Lee
turer vacant and fill the same by APP
