New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1893-06-07
torney of Hennepin County, F. NJ. Nye,
Esq, to enter criminal action! And 10!
mine eyes were opened.

bound to satisfy your bounding genius
for infamy. What's good the for goose is
good for the gander! Turn about's fair
play! Read on and discover what we
mean-if a solitary word is changed cx-
cept to inject you into the dirty place
prepared for me, don't know it.
There is a huge difference, however;
you did the job and got your pay, we
neither did the work nor got the pay.
Ignatius Donnelly, you are either an
honest man or a rascal Every man is
one or the other. If you are the former
l have done you an injustice. If you
are the latter have done you scant JUS
tice. If you are an honest man your
charges should have weight with all hon
est men. If you are scroundrel no one
should waste time noticing you!
Without any desire, therefore, to in
jure you or insult you, but with intent
to establish in court of justice your
real character, whatever it is, and for
the purnose of protecting the cause of
reform in this state from evil influences,
I plainly, distinctly and unequivocally
charge that you, Ignatius Donnelly,
otherwise known as the ''Sage OF Min
inger," while being an alleged anti-mon-
opoly, anti-national bank, anti -corrup-
zionist, reform, alliance man, engaged in
contesting for the rights Of the people,
and writing books like Caesars Col
umn," have, at different times, and es-
pecially from 1890 to 1892, while pre-
tending to be a reformer, taken large
sums of money, amounting in the ag-
gregate to several thousand dollars, from
prominent republican politicians or the
officers of the republican state central
committee.
I make this charge deliberately, and I
invite you to begin proceedings against
me, and make oath as you will have to
do in such legal proceedings, that this
charge is not tue. If 1 have wron9ed
you, YOU will reimburse character. If l
have not, you will take your chances Of
going to the penitcntiary for perjury.
Let the issue be sIuarely Joined.
And in addition, charge you with in
ducing an agent to 60 to prominent
democratic politicians to fuse the two
parties.
And again, Donnelly, in that libel suit
with the Pioneer Press You cast your
eyes about that crowded room and in
that throng where were your ''friends"
for whom you exchange loyalty and love?
No, not there. But there, close by you,
day after day-sad, patient, hopeful
sat the man, and his wife and mother,
who had struggled for three years to
keep you sound in the faith. And when
that miserable verdict came, politicians
not being willing to testify against them
selves, who still hoped in Donnelly's re-
formation? And when the PionecrP Press
came out, after the trial, and called you
a corrupt and purchased scoundrel, tx
ing with Doodle, did you sue for libel
then! You clustered! You swore YOU
would! Did you? Where was your
honor, then, Mr.. Donnelly? You dare
not sue them again!
And in conclusion solemnly declare
that you did the work, and got the pay
for it, and that while we were by appeals
and arguments trying to keep you in
honorable relations with the party, you
were trying to seduce us-and you thought
once you succeeded, but I did not take
| the hook.
That I did not do one scint1lla of work
for any but the peoples party; never
got one dollar of pay from any party
never wavered hairs breadth in paper

speeches to his one, right up into the
last week before election; paid his bills :;
bitterly denied any fusion; made five
speeches to his one in the Owen cam
paign. defy any living man to show
one cent of political pay ever received
by me.
If you had any facts against me would
you hesitate to publish them? No.
You did publish the only one you had,
and 10. The deed was done by your
$20-a-week Figger-head-he tries to in
volve good woman in the treason
and hasn't honor enough to deny the in
famous lie of his master. Publish the
facts, you Ungrateful Demagogue!
Publish one. ..@5s
