ALLIANCE AvANT CoURIERs,
They Have Approved All Plans
of the Local Reception Com


The Alliance men are coming to the
city. A good many of them showed up
at the Nicollet house yesterday, but
more of them will come tomorrow. Ig-
natlus Donnelly was among the first to
appear. The sage looked as healthy as
he could possibly look. The low price
set upon his reputation by Henne-
pin county jury seems to have
not weighed upon his mind seri-
ouSly. The other Alliance men who
wrote their names OH the Nicollet
register were members of the executive
committee. They were called here for
a conference with the Trades and Labor
assembly committee that has charge of
the preparations for giving the Alliance
followers good time while they re-
main in Minneapolis.
The two committees met at 10 O'Clock.
The Alliance was represented by |. Dom
nelly, T. j. Meighen. D. 7. Lister. H.
V. Poore. c. F. Bohall, o. S. Stromberg
and R. Echford.
Mrs. Eva Mcdonald Valesh was also
in the party by virtue of her Office as
state lecturer of the Alliance. The
Trades and Labor assembly representa-
tiyes were o. I. Erickson, H. 3. Mar
tin and Thomas Clark. At the meeting
toasts. five to be responded to by Alli-
ance men and five by the Trades and
Labor speakers. So far as made out
the toast list is as follows:
The Plow, the Hammer, the Producer in
Government. r. Schilling. Milwaukee; The
Working Men and the Farmer, /. Donnelly:
The Reform Press. H. B. Martin; Woman s
Church and Reform, Rev. s. ". Sample;
Good Crops the Artisan. Social Democracy,
Humanity's Battle for Freedom unassigned.
The Alliance committee approved the
plans of the local people. The meeting
was in the nature of love feast.
The Alliance wirepullers are already
at work getting ready for the battle for
| the offices. 1t is thought that Donnelly
will be reelected president, although
there is a strong sentiment against him.
State Senator John Hompe has said
once that he would accept the presi-
| dency of the Alliance. If he has not
| changed his mind. and if he consents to
| run, he will give the dictator strong
race. Mrs. Valesh says that she
will not accept another term as state
| lecturer even if offered one unani-
| mously. She has engagements in other
| states that will take up all her time.
| The question of fusion with the Demo
| Gratis will come up, that is certain. DON
he spoke guardedly. It's conceded that
he will be opposed to all fusion meas
ures, but he may find himself beaten.
| The other members of the Alliance are
not such strong lovers of Gov. Merriam
as he is. The Alliance will be ready to
talk fusion, and will be willing to &C
cept any reasonable proposition.
The mission of K. Schilling, of Mil
waukee, is, it is thought, to attempt to
wheel the Alliance of Minnesota into
line for the Peoples party. 1t is not
unlikely that he will fail. The Alliance
of Minnesota is not anxious to entangle
itself with national politics Just yet. II
is supposed to be non-partisan organi-
zatioa, and those of the leaders who are
| now in Minneapolis seem disposed to
keep it in that condition nominalIy,
thinking that there is business OF
enough Importance in Minnesota tc
monopolize its attention without mix.
