party. In any other country but
this, the men so offending would be
removed from office in twenty-four
hours; here they will be kept in as
long as the republican party is in
power, and possibly promoted.
t"This villainous piece of corruption
shows how the peoples party paper
at Good Thunder was captured. and
how the Alliance Advocate at Hen
ming was induced to support knute
Nelson for governor and Feig for
congress: and why good many
|Of our leading men have seen the err
rOr OF their ways and turned over to
the G. O. p.
LET OUR PEOPLE BE ON
THEIR GUARD. WATCH EVERY
MAN AND NEWSPAPER CLOSE
LY. WE CANNOT TELL WHERE
THE NEXT BLOW WILL FALL.
THE EN- ENVY ARE DESPERATE.
AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF
MONEY.
If any man gets too holy and right
eOuS. in the last mOmentOf this great
battle, and turns his batteries on our
own men instead of the enemy. UN-
DERSTAND THAT HE HAS, GOT
DOODLE IN HIS POCKET.
This is the time that tries mems
souls.
We are fighting to stop robberies
that amount to twenty millions of
dollars annually in this state alone.
What tcould million dollars be to the
auscols # they could protect the rest OF
their plunder for ten gears to come?
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED,
BRETHEREN. AND DOWN WITH
EVERY MAN THAT FLINCHES.
THIS is NO CHILD'S PLAY; AND
WOE UNTO THE TRAITORS, NO
MATTER HOW PRETTY THEY
MAY TALK.
Close up the ranks: end all olsen
SiOnS; postpone all Quarrels until the
umn on the enemy. The people will
know how to reward those who do
their whole duty; and a hell of scorn
awaits those who sell out the cause
of humanity for filthy lucre.
IN THIS CRISIS LET THE PEG
PIE BE PREPARED FOR EVERY
THING.
DISCOUNT EVERY POSSIBLE
TRICK THAT MAY BE SPRUNG
UPON YOU AT THE LAST MO-
MENT.
Believe nothing the enemy tells
you. 1t is necessarily a lie Men
who will buy up our newspapers are
capable of anything.
Fish understood perfectly well that
this article was aimed directly at
him. for in b;c ;ccuo re Nov 1C+l,
two weeks after the election. he
quoted the very words here itali-
cised, in this sentence: IF any man
gets too holy and righteous = X y
understand that he has got Doodle in
his pockets" and applied them to
himself. thus:
''Those parties who are trying to
make people think the G.. w. sells
out because we do not believe in
their betrayal of the peoples party,
will have hard time of it. We are
almost too holy and righteous in ex-
pressing old party deyiltry to get
much cuss-words for selling out
The prOverb says:
"A guilty conscience needs no ac-
cuser."
Having done all he could to defeat
my election. Fish. in the next issue
after the votes were polled came out
and slobbered me all over with the
most fulsOme praise: but when he
learned that even flattery would not
induce me to consent that he should
have another chance to sell out the
party,-in two years from now, he
has been covering me, ever since,
with the glory and distinction of his
abuse.
l am profoundly sorry to say all
this. l leave unanswered hundred
slanderous and libellous charges
made against me in Fishs paper. If
l could believe that Fish was an hon
est man and that he had erred
through defective judgment. l would
say forget and forgive; and would ask
the reform movement in this state
to utilize his really great powers and
take him again to it's bosom. But
facts here given show that the man
cannot be trusted; that he is dishon-
est; and that the peoples party must
either get clear of him. or work for
two years to give him another
chance to once more betray it.. 1t is
not therefore out of any personal
hostility to this man that we set
forth these facts; but to protect the
cause of reform in the northwest
from 50 evil and dangerous an in
fiuence. If the man had been honest
his paper would have to-day 10000
subscribers, and he would be the
adored leader of great movement.
No man more profoundly regrets the
wreck he has made of himself and
his opportunities than do. have
no wrath against him-only pity.-as
over a half-flled grave. l. D.
