A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

J. L. Spaulding, acting Secretary of
the Treasury, has appointed Mr..
Frank Thayer to be the Superintend-
ent of Construction of the new U. S.
court house and postoffice, to act un-
der the direction of the Supervising
Architect. The compensation is fixed
at six dollars per day, excepting Sun
days, from the time that he is assign
ed to duty. The appointment is dat
ed May 11th, and Mr.. Thayer will be
assigned to duty as soon as the con-
tracts have been awarded and active
operations commence. He is required
to furnish a bond for $1,000, which
was prepared and sent on to-day.
1t would have been difficult for the
Treasury department to have made a
better selection or one more satisfac-
tory to our citizens. Mr.. Thayer is a
young man of sterling integrity and
one of the leading architects of South
ern Minnesota, is thorough and care
full in all the work entrusted to his
care, and is just the man to have i'm
mediate oversight of the important
work which is about to be begun. He
is in every respect self-made man,
and the friends who hive watched
his steady advancement will be more
than pleased to hear of his appoint
ment.

D0nnelly Threshes Over The Old
Chaff-He is Kissed and Gets
Mad.

All of the available seats at the
opera house Friday night were taken,
and in the crowd that listened to
Donnelly Republicans and Democrats
predominated.
The first thing done was the taking
up of collection to meet the expen-
ses, and members of the old parties
gave large share if not the most.
The committee on resolutions then
presented the following report:
ReS0lUed. That we reatfirm our faith
in and adhesion to the PRINCIPLES
which have hitherto been enunciated
by the alliance of the state of Mime
sofa.
RESOLVED, That we have full faith
that the delegates to the Omaha con-
yention will embody these principles
IN such form as will make them ac-
ceptable to all who earnestly desire
the advance and betterment of the
labor and producing classes of this
nation.
Ignatius Donnelly was then intro

and Investigations he belabored the
Pioneer Press, "the Devils advocate, -
''the plant tool of the railroads." etc.
When the investigation was going on,
the railroads, seeing the storm COM
ing, black with clouds and lurid with
lightnings, had laid the blame on the
elevators and furnished the Pioneer
Press with material to undo the lies
which it had told for 25 years. That
paper admitted that there was ten

thirty cent steal on every bushel Of
wheat exported, amounting to $780,

Dakotas. The Minnesota farmer has

a happy man beside the farmer of to-
day. The battle that freed him con-
cerned 100000 people, our present
battle concerns 65, 100000 and all the
generations to follow. Your ancest-
ors were squeezed out of Europe, you
are now being squeezed out of Ameri-
ca, but there are no more Americas to
go to. The state assessor of New
York four years ago reported to the
governor that at the rate of mortgage
foreclosures in so or 60 years no farm
ers in the state would own their land
In Illinois One-third the farmers, and
in Kansas one-fourth do not own their
farms. In Rice county, in this state,
you can go five or six miles on one
road and pass none but fOreclosed
farms. Farm mortgages are increaS-
ing rapidly. At Huron, OAK, one
mortgage company boasts that it has
foreclosed over hundred farms and
has them tenanted. This country is
the last camping ground of humanity,
and the battle must be fought with
ballots, not bullets, with intelligence,
not bayonets. We are pot warning on
prosperity, but believe that some are
gaining wealth too rapidly. There
are 32, 900 millionaires in this country,
and when there is $1O,OOO,O0O in one
house there is so much less in 10, 900
houses, and poverty in 1000 houses.
We are fighting for the institutions
as well as the prosperity of the ma
tion. The powers of government are
perverted to make the few rich and
the many poor. If this cannot be
changed, desperate men will rush in
to revolution, and we want no dy-
Mantle in this country.
The speaker proceeded to show that
neither of the old parties has done
anything for the common people.
He gave more mortgage statistics,
and then pitched into railroad wat
cred stock. He then took up the sill
yer question. In the course of his re-
marks he said: "John Sherman is the
arch fiend ofAmerican politics. There
was slight applause, but this was
drowned out in a storm of Kisses.
When this subsidized, Mr.. Donnelly
said: II see we have some geese in
the room. More Kisses Geese have
no other way to express their intel
lectual feelings than by Kissing.
More kissing and Donnelly turns red
in the face with passion.) If the
geese here want to hiss, l wish they
would waddle out in front. Laugh
ter and applause.) With all due re-
spect to their gooseships, John Sher-
man is worse than all the people who
have been in the penitentiaries put
together. He has caused more pow
erty through his silver measures than
has any other cause. Heis thorough
ly bad man, yet the Republicans talk
of nominating him for president.
The speaker then denounced Har-
risen and Cleveland for their stand
on the silver question. No Republi-
can banker will denounce Cleveland,
and no Democratic banker will speak
unkindly of Harrison. Why, the
orange blossoms are budding that will
witness the bridal Of the two old par
ties. You farmers are the mighty
game which these great hunters are
after. Why do you sit like a lot of
bumps on logs and feel no thrill and
make no remonstrance?
He closed with urging his listeners
to join the Peoples Party.

The report was adopted.
While the committee was out the
time was occupied by Gen. j. H. Ba-
ker, who attempted, to show that the
Alliance, while not political party,
has been forced to enter politics in or
der to bring about changes to be &C
complished in no other way. He spoke
of what the Alliance has already &C
complished. He said: "If you want
to do nothing, sink back into the So
fas of the old parties, do nothing, live
for nothing, be nothing. If you do
not want to do nothing in this pres
ent nineteenth century, join that liv-
ing, progressive organization. the

ticket is selected
Amherst, Bristol, Warren and Eat

10 the nomination of Cleveland. In this
town the delegation viii be solid for Cleye-
land. Scituate, Foster, Gloucester and a
few towns in the section where Congress-
man Page lives may send Hill delegates.
II the convention were held today Cleye-
land would capture every delegate. and there
is little doubt that nine-tenths of the dele
gates viii be for Cleveland.
Mayor Daniel A Pond, of woonsocket
will be the choice for governor by a large
majority and will probably carry the state.
The democrats also hope to elect their legis-
latiye ticketsand county officers at the, state
election, which win be heId.the first Mon
day in April.
The democrats have made a clean gain of
over six thousand in the state Registration.
Take from this the supposed gain Of the ie-
publican electors on property and other quail
ifcations and they will stiIl have a net gain
Of 1000 and over. There il good relson to
believe that the new Legislature WILDE dem
ocratic in both branches, and the democrats
confidently expect to elect their state ticket
by clean majorities. Only a plurality is
needed for presidential electors.
Among the democrats who would like to
go to the United States senate are ex-Gov.
John w Davis, Congress Oscar Lapham, Of
the First district, and Charles II Page, Of
the Second district; Samuel Honey, Mayor
of Newport; Hugh G Carroll, mayor of Paw
