We learn that attempts are being
made, in various quarters, to make
it appear that Hon. l. Donne1ly, the
President OF the Minnesota State AL
lance, advised the farmers, last fall,
to hold their wheat. Even Mr..
Haugen, M. c. from Wisconsin, made
such charge the other day in Con-
gress.
The readers OF the GREAT WEST

false. Mr.. Donnelly gave no such ad-

and the Minneapolis Wheat Ring, is-
sued his famous "Hold Your Wheat"
circular, Mr.. Donnelly came out in a
letter, which was published in the
daily papers of st. Paul, and in the
GREAT VEST, denouncing such ad-
vice, and declaring that the farmers
alliance had nothing to do with it:

to go higher, that the market was in

the result showed the Importance OF

by any temporary purchased clamor.
Ii Mr.. Donnelly had advised the
farmers to hold their wheat. or had
even remained silent, it would have
almost destroyed the alliance in this
state. The Importance of his action
is shown by the effort of our enemies
TO now make it appear that he gave
such advice.

We are asked, what will the GREAT
WEST do if Gen. Baker is nominated
for Congress? Gen. Baker will not
be nominated. Ii he should he will
be defeated by ten times the defeat
OF two pears ago. There are entire
alliances that will bolt the nominal
ton instantly. AS for the course OF
the GREAT WEST, we reply that the
peoples party better be an honest
party-when it fails in fealty to
truth, and right. and political virtue,
it should fall-and we will help it fail.

ity. That answers the question.
