MACDONALD'S FIASCO.
The exc. A. r.. Who Never Served
In the War, Attacked the Or.
gan OF the Peoples Party.

At a joint meeting of the Executive
Committee of the State Farmers Alli-
ancc, and the State Central Commit
tee of the Peoples Party, held in st.
Paul, July 6, 1893, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we have entire con-
tidencc in Hon. lgnatius Donnelly.
We believe that he has been and is the
best friend the farmers and laborerS
have had in Minnesota for the last
thirty years: and that during all that
time he has been the target of the
plutocracy. md its hirelings
Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new Alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE; and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself commit
tee of one to work constantly to sus-
tain it and increase its circulation. 1t
is laboring, in moderate and temper
ate spirit, to unite all elements of re-
form. in this state, in harmonious &C
ton: it is owned by the local alliances:
Il cou'ot Gnd WU not sell as ont IN the
cfisisof0 c0mpdign:a and if it is sustained
as 1T should be, it will give us the state
in 1871. We ask every local alliance
and every Peoples party club and in
dustral league in the state. to go to
work at once and help build it up and
make it Il great power"
Resolved, By the Peoplc's Pdrfy state
ce'trul committee, that our chairman
Mr.. II. j. Mcighcn, is here by requested
to solicit subScri ptionS of stock in oar
popcf, the REPRESENTATIVE from
such persons as in his judgment might
be inclined to assist our cause
These n solutions constituted us the organ
Of the Pcoplc's Party.
To attempt to displace us, by send
ing out secret circulars, to establish
another organ, trtttOM notice to as, and
without repeating the resolutions of
July 9th, 1898, or making any charge
that we had been false to our trust,
was piece Of damnable treacnery
without precedent in the history of
American politics.
And if it be true, as some pretend.
that these men stumbled into this
thing innOcently, that it was an hon
est blunder: that they did not know
we thought of establishing daily,
etc. etc: why did they persist in their
schemes when we went before their
committee and explained it all. and
expressed cur intense indignationc
No. in spite of us, they passed their
resolution. They have only stopped
short because the St Paul News debris,
which they expected to use, to destroy
US, has passed into the hands of the
Democrats: and they are at the end of
their rope. Their teeth are on cxhib-
ton, but their capacity to bite is gone.
We hope the trouble is all over: and
that the party may move forward
hereafter tremendously. We shall do
nothing to stir up strife: and will fight
only on the defensive. But in the in
terest of peace, we would suggest to
Mr.. S. NJ. Owen that he ship his
brother, II. L. Owen, to Europe, until
this campaign is over. He has more
tricks in him than there are bones in
a mackerel: and if he tries anv more
OF his funny work" Oh the REPRE-
SENTATIVE, it will smite him with
forty-ton power, and the coroner will
have to hold an inquest at the mouth
of the hole where he disappeared.
Let us have Peace-or a funeral.
