GOSSIP OF THE CURB.

the Popullsts YESTERDAY. They raVed
and tore, especially those WHO were hit
by the shafts Of the Sage. Tom Lucas
had the nerve to say he would meet
Mr.. Donnelly III the "arena" and then
and there lay bare their Utmost souls.
All this, too, in spite of certain or
dinances of the city which relate to
pul:ic morals. The Owen people were
out with their axes and chopped at the
Sage from all points. They maintained
stoutly there was no chance that Mr..
Owen would sell out his party, and that
he did not want the United States sena-
torship.
DR.. Clark. the Populist nominee for
congress, said Donnelly's statements
were ridiculous, and H. r. Owen, the
gubernatorial candidates brother,
vowed it was shame to take his broth
er's name i'll vain. At the convention
yesterday the name of Mr.. Donnelly
was mentioned in whispers. The farm
ers, it was plain to be seen, were his
friends, however, and several of them
were heard to remark that he ought to
be the man to 90 to the senate above
anybody and everybody else.
Mr.. Donnelly was interviewed during
the day, and this is what he said for
publications: "lf the people want me
for senator | shall be happy to serve
for it. Judge Macdonald. l repeat, is
the creature of S. NJ. Owen. Owen
packed the committee at the conven-
ton. As to Tom Lucas, he is the Jo-
ham Most of Minnesota. He has done
the Peoples party Infinite harm and
should be kept Off the stump. 1t is a
disgrace TO the party that he is an infiu-
entail member of the state central COM
mittee, put there by the labor element
of MINNEAPOLIS"
Continuing he said: "These men were
10 reap all the fruits of victory. They
were to have the gOvtrnorship with its
hundreds of offices; was to have moth
ing; | asked tor nothing. but worse than
all the very newspaper with which l
was trying to help them to wealth and
honorS was 10 be crushed lest | should
not die easily enough! If | had an OPP
portunlty should like to ask the Lord
what induced Him to make such
creatures. There was no imperative
necessity Imposed upon Him. There
couldn't be. Why did He not create
job lot of tailless gorillas-and
chuck them in instead? He would not
have had to make many alterations in
Lucas TO improve him up to that high
destiny, and he woald be great and
pleaSanter object to contemplate than
he Is today; and besides that he couldn't
make anarchist speeches! Delightful
thought But there is no use crying
over split milk the harm is done and
we have got 10 stand il.
And be assured, friends. that the
schemers are not at the end of their
scheming. Plenty of money can be had
TO divide and distract the Peoples
party.
There is a crisis upon us and pom
the party. But if you prefer John
Macdonald and Tom Lucas aud the
crowd and the representative of Min
neapolis milling company and the I'M
known miliionaires, say SO and l will
sell out to them for fair price aud 20
back to Nininger and devote myself to
the making OF books for the rest of my
life. That is probably what l should
have done years ago.. And that would
probably be better for health, long life
and lasting fame.
Il am sick at heart wheu l think of
those SchemerS."
