Quate to the demands of business; or

Nominations of legislatures and courts.
These mighty issues. require new
party, and it is merely a question OF
time and education until that party
takes permanent possession of the
nation.
In this state there is also much to
encourage the Peoples party. Our cam-
paign of two years ago was held in an
"off year." and the vote polled for our
candidate for governor represented in
part his personal popularity aud partly
the discomfort among the voters with
the other candidates. But this year the
presidential conflict tended to draw
back these men to their old affiliations.
The power which stood behind both
these organizations resorted to the most
shameful means to break up our forces;
one party appealed 10 the sentiment of
nationality, and the other to prejudices
of religion. The vote which remained
to us was therefore "fire-tried;" it re-
sisted the most powerful Influences IN
the midst of a presidential campaign; it
is therefore solid and unassalable
foundation on which to build for the
future. 1t is four times as great as the
Republican plurality. We therefore
hold the balance of power for this state
in 1894. With proper effort we can
double or treble the vote of this year; if
we cannot carry the state we can select
from the other tickets the men most IA
vorable to our views and elect them.
By a somewhat similar course this year
we have placed on the supreme bench
two men who will not be the
FOOLS of the Corporations.
In 1894 we can secure two more mem.
bers of that court, who will WELD their
great power in the interest of popular
rights and equal justice. This victory
alone would justify the existence of the
Peoples party, for the supreme court is
the ultimate arbiter in the contest be-
tween the people and their oppressors.
We have also elected Peoples party
man to congress from the Seventh dis
trict, while the majorities in several
other districts are so small as to make
them hopeful battle fields in the near
future.
Let every man stand firm and do his
whole duty. Our enemies cannot play
the nationality and religious game
second time. The governOr-elect, how
ever much he may be disposed to help
the people. will find himself poWerless.
The ''rings" which supported him will
resist his efforts, Tor his triumph is their
triumph, and all attempts to break up
tile wheat combine or prosecute the
offenders will be failures If they are
lnaugurated. In two years more the
people will realize that they have been
robbed of two years prosperity, and
thev will rise up in their wrath and
sweep the Republican party out OF
power.
In the meantime we must carry on
the great work Of educating the voters.
In view of the fact that DR.. E. w. Fish
has resigned his position as state lect-
urer of the state Alliance, and that his
papet has withdrawn from the position
of party organ.' it becomes absolutely
necessary that the Peoples party should
establish and own newspaper OF It's
own at the state capital. The large
vote of nearly 5000 received by the
Peoples parry in the Twin Cities will
constitute an excellent basis on
which to start such all enterprise.
while the great Farmers Alliance Or
ganization will need such an organ for
its own safety aud defense. And
newspaper of the kind need not inter
fere with individual newspaper enter
prises working to the same end and
object, while the new organ could be
conducted in such manner as to afford
every man the assurance Of
Fair and Reasonable Treatment
We hope that all earnest Peoples
party men in the state will help us or
ganize a joint stock company to estab-
llsh such an organ. We beg the friends
of reform to each take at least one share
of stock at S. per share in the Joint
stock company, which will soon be or
ganized. and remit the amOnnt to Rob-
ert Eckford, assistant secretary of this
committee, postoffice box 2474, st. Paul,
MINI. Let every Peoples party man
act as agent to secure subscribers for
the paper at 81 per year in advance.
The paper will be a siX-cOlumn. eight
page paper will be published under the
direction of the executive committee of
tho Peoples party Of Minnesota, and
edited by corps of the leading writer's
of the state connected with our organl-
Zation.
