EDITOR PRESTON TINES:
In your issue of the 18th inst. un-
DER the caption "A Liar as usual ia
the st. Paul Globe" you refer to the
voluntary action of the democratic
state committee, in placing upon
their electoral ticket four of the DOB
ullst electors as a trade, meaning
that it was deal between said COM
mlttee. Allow me to say through
your columns that the averment of
the Globe az quoted by you was lit
orally true. It's whole statement was
as follows: "All of these gentlemen
are on the electoral ticket of the peo-
pies party, but their selection bv the
democratic state central committee
was made without any conference
whatever with the state committee
OF The peoples party. There was no
bargain or arrangement with the
peoples party by which the latter
was to endorse any Democrat AS
chairman of the peoples party state
committee positively affirm that the
first knowledge had of the transac-
ton came to me through the an
nouncement made by the Globe as
above. No one had spoken or writ
ten to me about said action. had
never conferred with Hon. Thos. Will
son upon the subject. There was no
deal whatever between the commit
tees. The Globes statement is posi-
lively true. The peoples party COM
mittee had never received overtures
from the democratic committee or
any one acting in it's behalfin regard
to the matter, your statement to the
contrary notwithstanding. The re-
publican state committee could have
improved their Owl electoral ticket
by placing upon it the other FIVE peo-
pies party nominees, but as they did
not we purpose to elect them without
the aid OF either of the old parties.
Respectfully, THOMAS J. MEIGBEN.

Tissue of Oct. 14th.)
We will be expected to make some
remarks this week over the fact that
the democratic state central commit
tee has withdrawn four of it's state
electors and endorsed four peoples
party electors in their places. If it
be q simple endorsement us it ap-
pears, without bargain or conniv-
ance, then all well and good. On
such vital question time is required.
1t has been great struggle in this
state to keep fusion down.
At present it seems that the whole
affair was worked by the democracy
to make sure of no Harrison electors
as against those four.
The populists who read the GREAT
WEST may feel we'll assured that this
journal will neither endorse nor sup
port any fusion-of any kind.
LATER.
We are compelled to admit that
the matter is not wholly free from
stain on the part of the peoples party
at least on the part OF Mr.. Hanson,
the secretary. Mr.. Hanson held q
conference with the democrats two
weeks ago, and ALONE, without au-
thority, entered into a formal under
standing. Hereafter, without any
right whatever, nor any consultation
with living soul, he signed the fol-
lowing letter "On behalf OF my COM
mittee," which statement, of course
is WRONG.
Office of Secretary OF State, Oct. 10,
1892.-Hon. f. p. Brown, Secretary
of State: Dear Sir:
On behalf Of our respective commit
tees, we request that the four presi.
Dental electoral candidates named
by our parties, to-wit: William
Meighen, A. L. Stromberg, James
Dillon and A. 81. Holloway, may be
put on the official ballot consecutive
", the head of the "Weaver group"
and protest against their order as
above named, being broken by the
Intervention of the names of other
candidates in said group. Respect
fully, P.J. SMALLEY,
Secretary Democratic State Central
Committee.
LEWIS BAKER,
Chairman Democratic State Central
Committee.
LOUIS G. HANSON,
Secretary Peoples Party Committee.
This would be terrible blow to the
peoples party IF the letter were AU-
THORIZED. There is no measuring
the evil that would result. 1t would
drive nearly every converted republi-
can from our ranks. No wonder the
Pioneer Press said: "Fish was mad
as the devil" over it.
Good God, where is the debt we owe
the democratic party to rebuild It's
shattered carcass and restore it to
power? Let us find the obligation
and pay it and then be free to stand
on our own feet. Stromberg, Halo
way, Meighen and Dillon were all
MISUNDERSTANDING the most re-
cent convert. We must take our
medicine.
But let it be understood that in
this last move there has been NO deal
on the part of the peoples party.
One man without consultation did
it, and did it without right or au-
thority from any living man. Let
Judgment rest upon him-and the
PARTY be liberated from the chains
Of fusion, servility and deviltry.

That Combination.
tissue Oct. 21st.)

The GREAT West feels great re-
sponsibility over the endorsement OF
four populist electors by the demo-
Gratis. The impression that it is q
combine of the two parties is utterly
wrong. The peoples party had moth
ing whatever to do with it. The
signing of the cartel to the Secretary
of State by Louis Hanson was OBJ
solutely unauthorized. Single hand
ed he undertook to speak for the
great party-and endanger it's well
fare. We believe that every populist
in this state will believe that the
GREAT WEST would be suspicious OF
every such act. And we say consid-
erately and solemnly that the peoples
party has nothing whatever to do
with the matter. The whole respon-
sibility rests with one man. The peo-
pies party does not propose to re-
build any moribund old party-nor
do we propose to putany fresh blood
into q corrupt national machine.
Our voters throughout the country
may rely upon our statement of the
utter freedom of the party from any
attempt at fusion.

When and What to Buy

You can frequently save more money in
buying the right thing at the right time,
than you could earn in ten times the length
Of time it takes you to buy it. Now the
very best time in the whole year to buy
paints and wall paper at Saur q Bals'ey's
drug and book store, is during the month of
August, providing you want to buy the best
goods at the lowest prices. 1t is during this
month when they have their clearing sales,
when they trJ to close out this class of goods
as near as possible, in order to make room
for fall stock, which is usually purchased
earlier in the season Saur & Balsley are
making a speciality of the paint and oil
trade. They carry very large and COM
plete stock and are always in themarket with
everything that is good and new.

A young farmer who lives near Ravenna,
o., has hit upon happy thought to reduce
the amount of labor required to till his
fields. Instead of laying out his fields square
or nearly so, he has laid them out narrow
and they extend the entire length Of his
fam. By this means he avoids turning
corn RS so many times which is loss of time.
He can reap ten acres of grain going up and
down his field six times. People interested
in agriculture might try this with profit.

"simon" simpIes and His Wool.

The NORTHWEST directs the especial atten-
ton of its readers to the following e1per-
ience of "Smon" Simples:
Philip Simples lived in Morgan county,
Ohio. Philip Simples has been simple
enough to believe in tariff taxed WOOL
Philip Simples was an enthusiastic Republi
can and shouted for the g. o. p. and voted
for tariff on wool. The McConnelsville
Democrat tells of Philip Simple's simple
faith. In 1880 he clipped 800 fieeces of wool
for which he was offered 40 cents. But he
was told that If Garfield was elected he
would get 80 cts. Philip Simples was simple
enough to believe it. He still holds that
wool. In 1890 his hopes frightened when an
advance was promised on the passage of the
Mckinley bill. He could then have realized
30 cents. The following year wool fell to 2s
cents. But Philip Simple was told that the
Mckinley bill had not had time to get in its
work, and Philip was simple enough to be
lieve it, and he held his wool again and wal
| offered 25 cents. This year under the samt
tariff be is offered % cents. He has Learned
that wool was never 80 low under free WOO
as it is now. Philip can't understand il
and has concluded that he had better peti
tion the Legislature to have his nam
hanged and will change his way of voting.

are the rage this season. Here is the plan:

pays ten cents for guess as to which of the
young ladies bit the onion. If he Quesses
rightly he kisses the other five young ladies';
if he does not he is only allowed to kiss the
girl with the onion scented breath. The tar
if is extremely reasonable, and the game is
likely to become popular.
