ecutive committee of the Alliance the
p0intment of a watch committee to
keep guard on the Alliance members
and prevent their selling out, and
this insult helped to drive away
from him every support he had.
Donnelly met an Alliance member
in the corridor of the Merchants to-day
and asked MIN if he was determined to
adhere to the decision of the Clarendon
conference. Answered that he was,
Donnelly asked if the Alliance proposed
Gratis. Assured that they did, the Sage
then said: Well. sir, then | wish you
to understand that [ will go to the Re-
publicans.' You may go to sheol If
you wish sir" was the response. Thus
the rage of the senator lost him his dis
erection and he imprudently tore off the
mask behind which he has been playing
the greater game to which this organ
lZatlOn was only a side show. The
whole plan is 10Y in imminent danger
of collapse. Yes, it is still amusing for
me, if L am out of the fights, to stand
around and unravel these deep laid
plans o. men an mice"
The Democratic and the Alliance men
elected to the two houses Of the legisla-
ture are going to affiliate without the
least ruction OF semblance of disagree
ment. The members of both parties
realize, Notwithstanding DOnnelly'S
declaration of opposition. that they
were elected on the same principles,
and that the people sent them to st.
Paul this winter to relieve them from
the unjust legislation given them by the
Republican party. With but the single
exception of Donnelly. the Alliance
senators and representatives now in the
city are united in their determination
to act with the Democracy on the organ
%iZation. and they refuse to alter their
position for the mere purpose of placing
one of Donneliy's henchmen in a fat
office. As one of the Alliance men put
it yesterday:
''We are not here for the offices, but
for legislation"
The earnest work of such men as
Mum, Larson, Mcclure, Cantleberry,
French, Bjorge and Wells in the house,
and La Due, Hompe, Crate, Probst-
field, Lommen, Wood. Borchert. Mayo
and others i'll the senate, is accomplish
ing wonders. Ali are good, strong
men, thoroughly imbued with the ne
ccssity that exists for an organization
that will be able to pass such legisla-
ton as needed. Senator La Due, in
speaking of the necessity for unity be-
tween Democrats and Alliance men,
said:
1--WE were all elected as q protest
against the legislation inflicted upon the
people of this state by the Republican
party. and we are sent here to rectify
the plumbers of this. the so long dOmi-
nant party" How" asked Mr.. La Due,
earnestly, zeal we do this if we go in
with fIn sarfu fhot hoe n1aH0 thn mis-
takes and help it organize both branches
of the legislature? To get the legisla-
ton we want We must have votes, and
where are we going for them? To the
Republican party that gave us what we
have? 1t would be useless to go there.
We were all elected by the
tidal wave of popular Misrepresentation
against the Republican party and it,
policy, and | believe the Legislature:
should be organized OH this basis. Let
all men who dlsapprOye OF the McKlG-
ley tariff act and the force bill stand to-
gether at the organization as we did in
the recent election. Any other course
will be a deSertion of the principles
upon which we were elected. If |
should vote to help the Republicans or
ganiZe the senate 1 would expect to be
charged with boodling, which L do not
