Mr.. Donnelly has written a letter
to the Minneapolis Tribune denying,
In characteristic style, the report
that he was to withdraw from the
field as the Populist candidate for
Governor. He says he will deliver
seventy five speeches during the cam
paign, and make it the liveliest one
ever witnessed in Minnesota. He al
so denies that Kittleson and Nc
Donald have withdrawn from the

State ticket, and adds that the places
of the three candidates on the cleo
toral ticket who have declined will be
filled. It i needless to say that Mr..
Donnelly predicts success for the peo-
pies party in this state, while at the
South, he says, the entire group Of
States, following the lead OF Ala
bama, will fall into the lap of the
Populists like q row OF bFicks.-i

Does not the inspection OF the rec
ords OF four years service, side by side
in the State Senate, fourteen to seven
teen years ago, prove that Mr.. Don
nelly was invariably right and Mr..
Nelson invariably wrong?
And if you 60 back twenty, thirty
years will it not be shown that Mr..
Donnelly was on the side of the peo-
pie, and never on the side of their op-
pressors? Have any of his assailants
ever pointed to a vote that was 9th
erwise? II so, what is it? All the
abuse heaped upon him is because he
persistently stood by the people
against plutocracy; the poor against
rich; the producers against the non

Again: | have come to the conclu-

this contest upon the tariff and force

more important issues, is a fraud
upon the people and a hollow sham.

the democratic and republican parties
were under the controlling influence
and domination of the Money power
OF the nation-that party which has
it's headquarters in Wall Street, New
York city. I saw enough, in congress
and out of it, to satisfy me that that
plutocracy shaped the policy OF each
OF those parties, and actually selected
their candidates; and | have waited,
for four years, hoping that the demo-
cratic party would shake off that incu-
bus and maign influence, and again
become the party of the people; but
/ have hoped in vain. To make my
self better understood it will be neces-
sary to recall certain facts that are Ell

Of Its stanchest supporter. Mr.. CHARLES
T. SAxToN. a Republican State Senator from
the Twenty-elghth district. The Repnoii-
cans have always claimed whatever credit
con be said to belong to any one LOT the
passage OF the Ballot Reform act.
Now, did they or did they not Intend to
establish regulations concerning tho con.
duct OF elections in this state which shouid
be fair to all parties Interested, ana shomiu'
In the language OF the title OF the statute
promote the independence of voters Mt pno-
lie elections and enforce the secrecy OF tiie
ballot?" The Republicans put into the law
the provision which remains substantially
unchanged in respect to the exclusion OF per-
sons from that portion of each polling place
which Is within the guard rail. The original
Ballot Reform act provided that no persons
other than the election officers and tho
watchers allowed by law, and those admit
tod for the purpose ofvoting or to assist as
abled voters, should be permitted within the
rail, except by the authority OF the election
officers, to keep order and enforce the law.
The present election law, which is merely
the Ballot Reform act with amendments.
deals with the same subject in these words: :
40 person shall be admitted within the guard rail
during CHI period except such inspectors poll clerks
ballot clerks duly authorized watchers. persons All
United by the inspectors to preserve order or ehfofce
the law, persons duly admitted for the purpose OF
voting and persons daily admitted to assist dsholHu
voters and In tho city Of Brooklyn the members OF tho
Board OF Cauvassers and In tho city OF New YORK
persons lawfully designated by candidates TO DO
present At tho Canvass of the votea"
Now. IL these regulations and safeguards
were deemed proper and adequate to insure
q free exercise of the right Of suffrage on
the part of the citizens Of this State by tho
Republicans in control OF the Legislature in
1890. how comes 1t that in 1892 prominent
Republican politicians and party leaders
and newspapers md Federal officials arc
proclaiming the absolute necessity OF disre-
garting tho very law which a Republican
Legislature was the first to enact. and arc
declaring that there cannot be FREQ ballot
and n fair count unless Federal deputy
marshals are allowed within the guard rail
The fact Is that the Republicans admire
and love the guard rail as II barrier to keep
Democrats away from tho polling places,
but they propose to keep 1t low enough for
Republican Federal force officers. under the
false pretence that their duty demands 1t
to Jump over at their own sweet will.

Keen the Rascals Out,

Nothing could possibly be more dishonest
than tho assertion now made by tho Re-
publicans that IN order to have q fair cleo
tion it is necessary for tho United States
Marshnls and their deputies at the polling
places "to pass freely within the guard
rail and station themselves wherever they
deem that tho performance OF their duty
requires"
The original Ballot Reform act OF
this State was passed by the Lcgis-
lature OF 1890. Tho State senate was Re-
publican. The Assembly was Republi-

End OF the Carmaux Strike In France.

The strike OF tho miners in the village OF
Carmaux. France. which at one time threat
ened to cause the downfall OF the LOUBEr
Cabinet. has been settled in u way charac-
teristcully French. The Prime Minister
has practically forced the mining corpora
ton to consent to arbitration. and he has
himself acted rs arbitrator, with the result
that CALvIGNAC. the Mayor OF the COM
mune. has been replaced upon tho pay roll
OF the company. some OF tho imprisoned
rioters have been released. and all OF the
strikers have gone back to work. The prn-
ciple advocated by the Radicals has been
established. namely, that it is the business
Of the Government to adjust differences
between workmen and their employers, in
stead Of leaving them to fight it out.
1t will be remembered that the men en-
ployed in the CarmauX conl mines struck
because the company declined to pay tho
FULL wages OF n miner to one CAIvIGNAC
whom they had chosen Mayor of the COM
mune. but who. on the plea that no was oc-
cupied with official duties. did but very
little work in tho mines. Under such
circumstances. the Government OF tho
United States would have confined itself
to the maintenance OF peace and order
would have protected the property OF
tho company and the lives OF its agents.
and would have nnbled it to employ new
workmen In the place OF the old. That Is
precisely what NJ LoUBEr. who is Minister
OF the Interior rs well as Premier. was en-
gagged in doing up to tho time of the rcns-
scmbling OF tho Chamber of Deputies. Io

employers should be compelled to pay
wages to men who saw fit to drop their
ordinary work In order to perform Official
duties. the Radicals did not explain. They
seem to have taken for granted that 1t was
an employers duty TO continue paying
wages under such circumstances. for other
wise how could a workingiuan accept
office The failure OF the Carmnux Com
pany to do so they proposed to punish
severely. for they demanded that the Gov
ernmcnt should either seize the mine and
work 1t upon the terms demanded by tho
men. or force tho company to accept ar-
bitration. When the Chamber met on Tues
day. Oct. IS, no less than five motions relat-
ing to the Carmaux affair were brought
forward. two censurlng and three defend
ing the Cabinet: and the one most accepta-
bic to NJ. LouBET--thc order OF the day
was defeated by an overwhelming vote OF
44o TO 80. Percelving himself to be in the
utmost danger. NJ. LouBET contrived in
private interview with the Chairman of the
mining company to prevail on him to con-
sent to arbitration. and this arrangement
being announced BY the Minister OF Public
Works. the Chamber was quoted.
Tho cOmpany's consent to arbitration.
however. has been obtained only on condi-
tion that tho Primo Minister would act as
arbitrator. and ho accordingly must bear
the credit or discrcdit OF the settlement
effected. Curiously enough. tho miners
at first refused to submit to arbitration.
and only gave way when the Radical
Deputies threatened to abandon them.
They would scarcely have objected TO nj.
LouBEr as IN umpire had they known that
all the points in dispute would be settled in
their favor. Such was to DO the case. how
ever, for. as wo began by saying. Mayor
CALvIGNAC has been put back upon the pay
roll OF tho mine. the rioters who were i'm
prisoned have been released. and oil the
strikers have been allowed to go back to
work. There Is no doubt that Nj. LouDET's
performance in the role OF arbitrator will
crafty tho Left and the extreme Radicals.
from whom he had most to fear. but 1t will
subject him to harsh comments at the
hands of the representatives OF capital. who
sit OH the Right and In the Centre OF the
Chamber. He has set up precedent which.
to say tho least. may prove extremely in
convenient. namely. that among the duties
of Minister OF the Interior Is that OF serv-
ing as arbitrator In nil disputes between
capital and labor. The result will be to
greatly augment tho burden Of the Minis
tcr's responsibilities. which in country 80
highly centralized as France were already
enormous.
