and the State Alliance.
Following is the full text of the
resolutions adopted by the execu-
tive committees of the peoples party
and the state farmers alliance at the
Joint session held at st. Paul July
9th, 1893:
ENDORSING MR.. DONNELLY.
"Resolved, That we have entire
confidence in Hon. Ignatius Donnel-
ly. We believe that he has been and
is the best friend the farmers and Ia
borers have had in Minnesota, for
the last thirty years; and that dur
ing all that time he has been the
target of plutocracy, and their hire
laags.
FUSION"
Resolved, That we resent the i'm
putation that the peoples party of
the state of Minnesota in the last
campaign, "fused" with the demo
cratic party, as an absolute, unjusti
fable falsehoOd.
ENDORSING THE REPRESENTATIVE.
"Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself commit
tee of one to work constantly to Sus-
tain it and increase it's circulation.
It is laboring, in a moderate and
temperate spirit, to unite all ele-
ments of reform, in this state, in
harmonious actiOn;it is owned by the
local alliances; 1t cannot and 1t aU1ll not
sell us ont IN the crisis of a campaign;
and if it is sustained, as it should be,
ask every local alliance and every
peoples party club and Industrial
league in the state, to 60 to work at
once and help build it up and make
it great power"
This was followed by the following,
also unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By the peoples party
state central committee, that our
chairman Mr.. T. J. Meighen, is here
by requested to solicit subscriptions
Of stock to our paper, the REPRESEN-
TATIvE, from such persons as in his
Judgment might be inclined to assist
our cause"
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Resolved, That we desire to say tc
the members of the peoples party of
this state, that the prospects for the
success of the principles our party
were never so bright as they are to-
day. The terrible collapse of the
business and commerce of the whole
country, and the great suffering
which is following and must follow
to the mass of the people, who labor
for a living, are opening the eyes of
the voters to the fact that the finan-
cial principles of the old parties are
destructive of the country, and they
are coming over to the peoples party
by the hundreds of thousands. We
have only to stand firm by our prin-
ciples to speedily achieve state and
national triumphs.
Resolved, That in the presidential
campaign of last year we told the
people that the great issue was the
financial one; and that the outcry of
both the old parties, about the tariff,
was simply sham fight, agreed upon
Dy them, Tor temporary purposes, to
divert public attention from the real
questions at issue. The result has
proved the truth of our statements:
the tariff issue is now dead and
buried; the money issue is the sole
and only one before the people to-
day. We call the attention of the
voters to this to show how cunningly
they were humbugged, by the money
power, acting through the leaders of
two great agencies, the republican
and democratic parties.
THE FREE SILVER CONVENTION.
Resolved, That we urge that full
delegation go from Minnesota to the
Chicago convention. to be held
August LIST, 1893; to protect against
the repeal of the Sherman act and to
demand the full reconciliation of
silver. We believe that the said con-
vention will be the most important
held in this country, in the last quar-
