HARMONY.
An Important Confer
ence--All Differences
Are Ended.

will be glad to know that Mr.. S. M.
Owen and ourself, through the kindly
offices of Prof. Dobbyn, of the Pro
gressive Age, had long conference on
last Monday afternoon, in which all
the differences which have distracted
and perplexed the party were consid-
cred and adjusted. Mr.. Owen assured
us that he had had no part or lot in
the effort of Macdonald to destroy the
REPRESENTATIVE, and build up a
great Peoples Party daily paper, to
be owned and controlled by the Pluto
Gratis of Chicago and the Twin-Cities.
He knew nothing of his brother, Fl. r.
Owen, sending out circulars for the es-
tablishment of such paper; and he
deprecates the whole business. lie
desires the REPRESENTATIVE to grow
and prosper, and will do nothing to in
jure it. If elected governor he hopes
to have it's powerful support, in be-
half of his admins trait He reiter-
ated what he has already said, in his
letter to Mr.. Harrison, that if elected
governor he would, under any and all
circumstances, serve out his term;
and he said that he would be one Of
the basest of men if he relinQuished q
the task to which the voters Of the
state had called him, for any person
al ambition. The conversation was a
private one and was conducted, on
both sides, in the most cordial and
kindly spirit. At it's conclusion we
shook hands and agreed to work to-
gether in perfect harmony for the sue
cess of our organization. The REP
REsENTATIvE will be found striking
Herculean blows, up to the day of
election, for Mr.. Owen and the whole
ticket.
We must say, however that we re-
gret that some one else than Mac
donald is not at the head Of the cam
paign. If he was in the pay of the old
parties he could not work more effec-
lively to divide and destroy us. All
the county committees will have to
work the harder to make up for his in
efficiency. He thinks the best way to
beat the two old parties is to drive
this paper out of the party.
The committee is almost penniless,
but the candidates and one or two of
the committeeman. This should not
be So The campaign cannot be con-
Quoted without money. We appeal to
all Peoples Party men in the state to
send in, to Mr.. S. M. Owen, such con-
tributions as they can afford to make.
If every member Of the party would
send Mr.. Owen % cents it would pro-
duce a fund with which scores Of
speakers could be put in the field and
the whole state be flooded with docu-
ments. Mr.. Owen would see that the
money was properly expended. The
State Central Committee now has a
treasurer, Mr.. Beardsley, of St. Paul.
A very handsome Peoples Party but
ton has been gotten up. and will be
Tetailed at ten cents each. They will
be furnished to canvassers at 81 per
hundred;-this will leave a small mar
gin to cover express charges, etc. A
handsome voucher, in two colors has
also been prepared, which will be Civ
en- as a souvenir to those who pay 25
cents.
There are less than soren ueeks till cleo.
ton dag. For Gods sake bretheren,
let all hands take hold and push the
work vigorously After this issue we
shall not mention the name of Mac
donald, until the ballots are all polled;
we will then have something impor-
tant to say. We will do our best We
expect to spend the month of October
on the rostrum-writing editorials for
this paper on the cars. 1t must be re-
membred however that we have nc
connection with the conduct of the
campaign; we have no control over it:
and we will assume no responsibility
for it. That is Mr.. Ovens business
We shall make red-hot paper and do
our utmost for victory.
And victory we will have. Our ad.
vices from ali parts show that if we
all work together we will sweep the
state.
