NOTES FROM EXCHANGES.

Mankato Journal: The more we
learn Of Judge Macdonald, chairman
of the Populist State Central commit
tee, the less we think of him. And we
believe it would be for the best inter-
est Of orr party to have him to resign.
The Peoples party of the state cannot
afford to have leaders who are not
above reprOach.
Giaceville Phoenix: Gen. Becker is
allied with the railroads. He is an ar
istOcratic, cold-blOoded man, and has
no sympathy with the masses, not one
particle of magnetic force to draw
them to his support and never would
have been put at the head of the tick
ct had it been Democratic year.
Martin County Sentinel: Donnelly's
brains and eloquence built up the Pop
ulist party, not only in Minnesota but
in the country at large, and now lot
of ScalaWagS and mOuntebankS nave
jumped aboard the political craft and
are trying to throw it's gallant captain
overheard. Such an exhibition OF in
gratitude and treachery is rarely seen,
even in politics.
The Populists claim that they have
more than double the strength of the
Democrats in North Dakota. The
anxiety of the Democrats to give
them eight out of ten of the offices
would indicate that they admit the
claim. Fargo Argus:
We understand that wholesale
grocery house at Minneapolis had in
warehouse ten thousand barrels of re-
fined sugar, when the tariff bill was
passed, and as the advance has been
about three dollars per barrels, the
profits will help make up losses of last
year. After the next congress re-
models the sugar schedule, as it is
bound to do, there will be marking
down all along the ine.-Mankato Re
view.
Mr.. Donnelly's many friends in this
county will read with pleasure his let
ter defending himself from the cabal
of politicians who are trying to down
him. Mr.. Donnelly is the founder,
builder and mainstay Of the Peoples
party in this state, and this attempt
to kill him and wreck his paper is a
case of the rankest kind of ingrati-
tude. Now that he has exposed the
plan and shown up the character of
the men in it, the people will be on
the lookout and see that it is not
done.-Fergus Falls Journal.
The Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Minnesota, Gov. Knute Mel
son, in a recent speech at Argyle, gave
the usual silly reasons for continuing
his party in pOwer-the vast increase
of the wealth OF the country, which,
divided by the population, was salts
factory. He tried especially to show
that the farmers were prosperous.
Ignatius Donnelly in the REPREsEN-
TATIvE, that excellent Populist pa
per, dissects, in his usual vigorous
style, the governors arguments
Commonwealth.
The honest and intelligent masses
of the Democratic party in this state
are practically united in favor of en-
dOrsing S. NJ. Owen, but the machine,
which is manipulated by the corpora
tion and monopoly bosses is opposed
to him. The latter prefer Nelson, and
thus the will of the best elements of
the Democratic party will likely be
thwarted in the convention. BY en-
dorsing Owen his election would be
certain, and thus better administra-
ton, an administration representing
all the people instead of in the main
the corporations, the pine land ring
and the legion of otfice-holding para
sites, would be assured during the
next two years. 1t is the only certain
way to reform in this campaign, and
all impartial and leyel-headed men so
understand it.-Albert Lea Standard.
