THE WRATH OF D0NNELLY,
How the Sage Foamed and Boosted Befor
Election.
Some Characteristic Remarks From the
Most Peculiar Curiosity in modern
politics.

always interesting. In st. Paul Saturday
night he spoke to large audience ano
the account of his address in the Pioneer
Press is decidedly entertaining even after
election. It was as follows:
In spite of the great amount OF cam
paigning he has done and the fearful load
that must be on his conscience, Ignatius
Donnelly bobbed up at Market hall last
night quite as chubby as ever and even
claiming that he had gained two pounds
since the campaign began. But however
well it has Jared with Mr.. Donnelly so far
as physical appearance goes, mentally he
showed himself troubled while his nerves
seemed on a rasping edge. This led to
such an outbrlrst Of passion as was never
witnessed on political platform. He was
livid with anger for time, and torrent
of vindictive sentences poured from his
lips until the man seemed beside himself.
He had big audience. There were a
number of Interruptions in the way of
questions which Mr.. Donnelly always an
swered, and with his quick wit turned to
his own account. He had told how he
would have pinned MI. Nelson to the wall
like cockchafer if the Republican met
him in debate, and was charging on his
own trueness to the people when some
one over at the left asked:
allow about the 81 damages to the
Pioneer Press?"
The question was repeated twice be-
fore Mr.. Donnelly seemed to understand.
Then he Numbered back:
''That dollar did not represent the value
of my reputation, but the amount of in
jury which the Pioneer Press could in
fict upon any mans character
The sublime self-assurance and the SUI
preme egotism shown in the reply stirred
the audience, and while they cheered, Mr..
Donnelly gathered all his forces and, with
quiet restored, opened TRADE that was
terrible in it's passion that he made no at
tempt to conceal. There were cries of
"Put him out" against the man who
made the interruption, but Mr.. Donnelly
quieted these.
II am able to take care of myself with
out clubbing any one," he said, and then
he was given another breathing spell. He
didn't want praise of the Pioneer Press,
he declared. It had buried every man it
had ever advocated, and had cast the
mantle of suspicion on the whole Repub-
lican party. In all his public life in the
legislature for twenty-five years the in
famous sheet had never been able to put
its clasp on single fact to put before a
jury. It went further back than twenty
two years, and attempted to prove fact
by the testimony of "Bill" King.
HHe is one of the worst men God ever
permitted to be made,'' foamed Donnelly,
sand shan't take it upon myself to say
that God made him. He is a man who was
indicted for perjury in Washington and
had to fly to Canada to escape arrest-and
going back twenty two years the Pionee,
Press tried to fasten something onHme by
the lips Of that scoundrel. Yet here
comes man who wants to stand by him
I don't know who he is but no one but
scoundrel would insult a man who is
addressing this audience"
Then the Populist switched back t.
his old refrain and declared the two grea
parties the right and left arms Of pluto
cracy, and he advised them to unmarried
Then came change in the tune The
state committee Of the Peoples party, HI
said, was dead broke. 1t would be easy
enough to get $4,000 from Jim Hill i
he lDonnelly) would agree not to trouble
him or his interests if elected governor
But Mr.. Donnelly held himself up as to,
pure to be bought. In all his legislatiy
experience he never had been.
GAS long as I'm true to you people,
he said, 1.the daily papers will continu
to abuse me. When they stop and begil
to praise me then look OUT
Both the amendments he wanted vote,
down, else the people would be brough
to the same condition Of those Of Europe
where there was no legislature. It wa
not throwing away a vote when it wa
cast for Ignatius Donnelly, he argued
Infinite liars would make it SO - me-
like Bob Jamison, for whom the cart
trembled when he walked.
ssHe has the impudence TO say that
will get 5000 votes IN this state,' sale
Mr.. Donneny. AWhy, my friends, I vii
git zoe. 900 votes on Tuesday next.
