CORRESPONDENCE.
OUR FORUM.

1t is part of the purpose of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to at
ford a forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides Of the questions at issue fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point; not to ex-
coed one-quarter Of column, If pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
nave motive and teach something
to the reader. Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin-
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things
than book learning.-THEE DITOR.]

Kendall md SmQiIVOOd.

To the Editor-A great deal of dissatis-
faction exists in st. Louis county among
Republicans on account of the fact that
the ticket put up by the Republicans is
composed almost exclusively of members
of the A. P. A. organization. Considerable
opposition has also been stirred up in the
ranks of the Republicans by the adoption
at the state convention of the meaningless
plank on the money question. Thousands
of Republicans are ready and anxious to
leave the Republican party upon the silver
question, if suitable candidates are nomin-
ated by the Peoples party for congress
and the legislature. There has been some
talk in the Sixth district of nominating
the Hon. H. c. Kendall on the Populist
ticket for congress- If nominated by the
Peoples party for congressional honors in
that district, Mr.. Kendall would undoubt-
edly be elected and would strengthen the
state ticket to the extent of at least 10000
votes. Capt. w. H. Smallwood, heretofore
an ardent and uneompromising Republican,
has bitterly denounced the Republicans for
the position they have taken on the silver
question. The captain has always been a
free coinage of silver advocate. He de-
clined senatorial nomination on the Re-
publican ticket several days ago. and if
nominated by the Populists, perhaps he
would make the race Therefore, why

To the Editor:
The Populists of Minnesota and of the
whole union annually contributing mil
lions of dollars in cash in support of the
damnable lying plutocratic press. 1 have
contributed annually over $40 in support of
these nefarious sheets, and l swear 1 shall
do so no longer. There are $1,000 of us in
Minnesota who at the least estimation av-
erage 81 each annually for these hireling
mouthpieces and barking mongrels of plu-
tocracy. This is $150,OO0 in Minnesota alone
Five million dollars annually is doubtless
paid by the Populists of this country in
this way. Would that every Populist in the
United States would swear off on this now.
There are now enough papers that tell the
truth so that it is crime against our
cause and against ourselves to support any
of the Twin City dailies. with the exception
of the Penny Press. The Chicago Times is
worthy of our support. If we only sup
ported papers that had some regard for the
truth, it would prove one of the most tell
ing blows that we could deal out to plu-
tocracy.
The driveling echoes Of plutocracy known
as the country papers, should also be cut
loose from our purse strings. Do this and
support our own publications. Let every
reader of The Representative get ten new

To the Editor:
AS a member of the Peoples party legis-
lative committee Of this. the Fifty-second
district, take great pleasure in informing
you of the result of our legislative conven-
ton, held at Stephen, Marshall county, ON
Friday. July 20.
Mr.. j. @. Cronkhite was nominated for
the senate, hands down, in the face of
strong fight made against him by the court
house ring of Marshall county, but their
opposition was of use; delegation
from Kittson county was as one man, fully
determined to secure Mr.. Cronkhites NOM
ination, and we succeeded.
Mr.. p. M. Henricks was nominated for
representative with hardly dissenting
vote. After the nominations were dis
posed of Mr.. Cronkhite was called to the
platform and responded in a manner which
was a credit to himself and the cause he
so nobly and ably represents Mr. Cronk-
mite Is most certainly entitled to the rec
ognitfon which he has received, for to him.
more than any other man, is credit due
Tor the splendid condition our party is in
today in Marshall and Kittson counties,
ana In paying tribute to Mr.. Cronkhite we
must not forget his able and worthy col
league. Mr.. P. M. Henricks. who has also
devoted his time and means in support of
the peoples cause, and to say that his
EFFORTS have been successful would be put
ting it very mild. We have an excellent
legislative ticket before the people of the
Fifty-second district. and 1 predict and ex-
pect triumphant election for them on the
9Th day of November next / am very truly
yours. SCOTT PRINDELL.

Good management will carry our party to

blatant speakers be given authority of the
committee, our cause is foredoomed to mis-

lists measured by their utterances." This
Is pointer, not only for the state COM

county committee in the state. I do not
presume to offer any suggestions to the
wisdom and experience of our learned
friend, Judge Macdonald, of the state CEN
trail committee; neither do I desire to saw
one word that will CRATE harshly upon the
ear of any unframed, ambitious would-be

spirit of fraternal kindness, to a matter

heart great and irreparable injury. It's a

1t Is not mere question of candidates
which at this hour confronts us, but a
principle and a great public issue. Not
these candidates. but we ourselves gentle
men OF the convention, are on trial here to-
day. The question is, What is our atti-
tude and what the policy of the Republican
party OF Minnesota in regard to the care
and disposition Of the public lands and tim
ber?" The people are asking, Twill the Re-
publican party vainly try to suppress this
issue by turning down it's champion, will
1t take up the man and it's cause, push the
investigation to the bottom, and place the
land and timber policy of the state on
safe, honest and business-like basis?" The
public Is saying, Twill the Republican con-
vention of 1894 seek to side-track this
cause in order to screen the guilty and
whitewash official records, or will it prove
itself the fearless party Of progress and
the people as in the days of Abraham Lin

There is but one answer to these quest
ions. The party which drove out the
Shareholders cannot halt when forced by
this problem The party Of protection can
not hesitate to protect the public land and
timber. The party of the people can do
naught but take up this cause and it's
champion and fight for the interests of the

To the Editor
The Pioneer Press Of 21st inst. sets up
what it is pleased to designate as 'In-
superable Objections" 1t says first, 1.-THE,
principle Of state control of railroads is
opposed to our whole system of govern
ment and is in the interest of centraliza-
tion.' I must confess that the writer is a
fine juggler with words nothing more. 1t
Is true that Capitalization for the purpose
Of oppression, wrong and injustice is OPP
posed to the principles of our government,
but the principle of state. control Of rail-
roads is exactly the same as the principle
of government control of the postal sys-
tenn viz. to serve the people at cost. If
the postal system is success then we
certainly have right to believe that the
best results will follow government own
ershp of the railroads. Facts demonstrate
that railroads are already centralized so
far as combination organization and a uni
formty OF management can accomplish the
purpose and that this Capitalization is for
private gain, selfish ends and unlawful OBJ
Jects and that this immense power is &C
tually used to Cypress the people and to
wiring from the producer overcharges for
AiCiSHl anu iTOfH the consumer eXnOfDltdnt

to say stop? This mighty business in
terest today rests in the hands of a few
men and used for their sole benefit. 1t
would not be less in the hands of the
government but the immense power would
be used to further the pleasure, happiness
and wealth of the entire people. Suppose
then there are 100000 railroad employees,
1t does not follow that they would all be
puppets in the hands of the railroad

cause there would be no Nanderbilts
Goulds or Depews striving for the mastery.
Strict civil service rules together with
total elimination of party politics would bar
all danger of "frightful calamity from
that source. The idea of 1.-The power of
public opinion" being cowed down and null
