EDITOR REPRESENTATIVES:
| At the annual meeting of the state
alliance. Jany, 1893, the writer at
that time pledged Is cash subscribers
to the REPRESENTATIVES,. A desire
to carry out our promises, and to re-
vive the alliances, induced us to
spend week among the people in
Marshall and Kittson counties, in
the cause of reform. The week was
a most successful one, and we believe
will result in the reorganization of
the alliances that have fallen into a
state of laSSitude, and a renewal of
interest in the cause of reform
among the people. We met crowded
houses everywhere we went, and
were deeply impressed with the
manifested sentiments of loyalty to
the cause, so apparent among the
people. Put 1t do,vn that the farmets
of Kittson county are. to a maR, in
line: hopeful, and confident thai the
cause of reform will triumph, and in
the end restore to the people meas
ure of justice and right, due to every
citizen without distinction. The
writer regrets that the inclosed list
for the REPRESENTATIVE. is not
larger; yet we know in several in
stances that the last 25. or so cents
pieces were cheerfully contributed;
and we have ample satisfaction in
the knowledge that the REPRESENTA-
TIVE, (the gospel of reform) has been
placed in every locality, in the course
of our travels, and will bear good
fruit. We received the most cordial
treatment and will long remember
