Interesting Opinions of Friends and
Subscribers as to the Representa-
tive.
Mr.. A. ]. Sundahl, of Wegdahl sends us
81 and renews his subscription, and adds:
II am well pleased with the course of the
paper is taking and am longing for every
number. 1t is great loss that we did not
nave such a paper as the Representa-
tive in our state 20 years ago.
We had just such paper in Mr.. Dom
nellys -MonOpolist" It sowed
| the seed that is now fourishing. Mr.. d.
maintained it, out of his own pocket, for
five years, but the times were net ripe for
it and it had to suspend in 1873
Andrew Nilsson, secretary of Alliance No.
1893, of Lake Lillion, writes: "At your re-
quest in the last issue of your stalworth
paper, the Representative, and our glo-
rious president, Ignatius Donnelly God
grant him a long and pleasant life here
after, to reap the fruit of his unselfish
services for the enslaved and toiling masses,
which he SO MOLLY has set his great heart
and ability to accomplish. send you a list
Of names"
John E. Fletcher renews his subscription
| and writes, 1.-The Representative is doing
| noble work and hope it will keep it up"
I. w. Robbins, of Remus, Mich, writes
us:
Sample copy of the Representative
is Issue of May 2 inst) received,
for which thanks. I have read it and sent
| it out. 1t has the right ring. 1t is a
peoples educator and just what is needed
as the old party papers are all in the inter-
est of the peoples despoilers-from the New
York World down. The leaders of the two
old parties are all equally guilty. The
present Republican leaders are not of the
Abraham Lincoln stripe - whose political
creed was "A government Of the people, for
the people and by the people'-but are
Hamiltonans, old Wings dug up since the
war The majority Of the Democra tic
leaders, from Cleveland down, are not
Jefferson Democrats but are as bad for
gold bugs all They can't see outside of
Wall street.
THE people must shelve these old party
| leaders and organize Peoples Party,
whose slogan shall be injustice to none
justice to ALL and whose weapon all power
ful, shall be the ballot only. No strikes,
no dynamite, no violence; and early and GER
tam victory shall perch upon our banners
and we shall then be truly the land of the
Tree and the home Of the brave Enclosed
ma 81, for which please send to my ad-
dfeSs, as above, all the samples of May 2
issue you can, for distribution, and oblige,
Yours for Jeffersonian Democracy

IN the United States, and am going to try
ana work for it next fall. Times are hard

Hon. H. L. Loucks, of Huron, the able
leader of the Peoples party of South Da-
kota, writes US:
You are getting out a splendid paper
now. Can you keep it up? If SO, it will
make revolution in Minnesota"
we think we can keep it up to that
standard, with the help of the people. But
every man must do his part to increase our
circulation
E. S. Erickson, of independence, st.
Louis county, one of the stalwart P. P.
men, writes 81 consider it a great
honor to be a stockholder in the stock of
the best paper in the state, if not in the
Union; and l hope to be able to- increase
my interest in the paper before long by TAX
ing more stock
Our old friend j. @. Cronkhite of Argyle,
writes US
Editor Representative:-I have received
the large posters, also several copies of
your big edition. I will place them where
they will bear fruit. l sorely regret that I
am not able to help you in a material way
IN this issue. l am not a salaried man,
hence money is almost a curiosity at this
time.
Il urge the friends of reform to take the
Representative. May God give Mr.. Don
nelly continued health.
Your friend,
j. @. CRONKHITE."
Theodore NAH, of Alma, Nebraska, sub
scribes and writes US: Il like the tone of
your paper You are on the right track.
Hit 'em again..
w. T. R. Kane, of st. Paul, writes us:
I think St Paul exhibited another sign
OF her decadence when it permitted the
Representative to remove to Minnea polls
and it may learn in the near future that
1t has lost journal whose influence, in
the near future, will more than balance
the combined influenced of her so-called
dailies"
Nathan NJ. Prescott, of Herman Mimi.
subscribes and says: ''Your sample copy
aroused me SO much I have to subscribe
| was with the Alliance party and now l
am ready to unite with the Peoples party"
Olaf Swensson, of Wegdahl, renews and
sends some money for handbills, with many
kind words for the paper. He says he
wants to talk to Charley Pillstury in the
coming Grain Growers convention. If he
does there will be a lively time; and
Charley will think he was struck by one
OF his own mill-stones.
L. }. Boltz of Ottumwa, Iowa, sands the
money for 300 extra copies and promises
a big list of subscribers
Our esteemed friend Senator r. NJ
Probstfield, of Moorhead, sends US a list
of names and the money for extra COPIES
He says speaking of the names it is hard
20 tell now who are Populists and who
are not. He continues: THE sentiment
has so wonderfully changed of late in ia
vor of Populism that. without being very
sanguina, l should not feel surprised if
the next election would show up the Popu-
lists with a plurality over the other two
parties; and if the change could or would
keep on at the same ratio from now till
election, since January /, 1894 the Popu-
lists will have a clear majority, in Moor
head in November next" Good we are
glad to hear it.
