THOUGHTS BY THINKERS.

r.
f. G. Greene. County Superintend-
ent of schools, Renville county Mimi,
sends us subscription and writes: II
am glad to see Mr.. Donnelly favorably
mentioned for our presidential NOM
inee. Wouldn't he and Debs or Tom
Watson make good combination?
Renville county will be in line this
fall all right. and the prospect is good
to elect our full ticket in November
1st, if we make a wise selection of can
didates."
H. D. Hobbs, of Haslett, Mich,
sends us a list, and writes: II have
been reader of your paper for ninety
days and l have fallen in love with
your editorials. Would to God there
were one thousand or more such pa
pers for the people to read. l read
mine and then mail it to one of my
old friends, hoping it will lead him
| out of bondage. May the good Father
| keep you in the field until the harvest
that is now ripening is gathered into
party that will bury the gold bug so
deep that all the Jews in Chris ten
dom will not be able to resurrect
| them"
W. H. LeVan, of Excelsior, Mimi,
renews and gives vent to the follow
ing emphatic expressions: eve farm
ers have fought grasshoppers, potato
bugs, chintZ-bugS and many other
bugs, but the gold-bug is the worst
One.-the most pernicious, obnoxious
and criminal bug we ever struck.
Yours for the war"
T. L. Gilberts, Of Logan, Mimi,
sends us two renewals and writes:
Mr.. Owen made a fine address at our
picnic on May 29th. It was very con-
vincing and we'll received by large
| and attentive audience. We shall be
glad to meet Messrs. Long and David
son at Walnut Grove, on June goth,
| and as Mrs. Lease is to speak at Tracy
on the 22nd inst, also, why we shall
have feast that will more than re-
pay any farmer to hitch up his team
and take his family and drive twenty
miles in order to be present."
We have received letter from Har-
ry Stebbins, of Halo. Ind, in which he
says: "Please inform my friends and
| neighbors in Minnesota, through the
| columns of THE REPRESENTATIVE
that the POpulists are making great
strides here in the good work of re-
form and there is greater surprise
in store for the Demo-Reps. when the
returns come in this fall from In
diana, than there was at the gains
| made in Minnesota in 1894. Yours for
the Omaha platform and success"
Helleck Olson, of Orfordsville, Wis,
writes: THE REPRESENTATIVE is
one Of the best Journals in the United
States. | hope that Ignatius Donnel-
y will be nominated. He is my
CHOICE
O. L. Larson, of Fosston. Mimi,
among other things says: "We or
gained free Silver club here on the
3rd Of this month, and have forty
seven members already, and this is
not half of the free silver men of this
village. We expect to'have over one
hundred members before the end of
this month. The east end of Polk
county, will stand for Is to l and
when election day is out,'you will find
that the vote will stand about l6 to l
in favor of free silver"
Thornton Thompson, of Rio, Wis,
says: Il like THE REPRESENTATIVE,
and the cause it advocates.
J. R. Porter, of Ocosta, Wash, re-
news and says: II intend to always
take the greatest paper on earth The
REPRESENTATIVE. None of our peo-
pie can find enough money to any
more than pay for bread, and Western
Washington is awful hard up. But we
are all in better spirits since Oregon
slapped the whelpS in the face. Yours
sincerely, and Donnelly for Presi-
dent"
M. D. Greene, of Grangeville, Idaho,
who has sent large lists OF subscribers
in the past, sends six new names and
says, that all those he has sent in
think the paper sound"
J. G. Terry, of Syracuse, n. Y,
writes: sour papers are nearly all
gold advocates, but the woods are full
OF silver men even in old York state.
If the people could only read such pa
pers as THE REPRESENTATIVE, and
other like papers this state would
largely be for silver"
j. S. Wilson, of Osowatomie, Kans,
sends us list, and adds, Il like your
paper. 1t seems to hold its edge we'll,
and to appreciate the situation. Men
whom | consider competent judges
say, Ignatius Donnelly is in all re-
spectS the best man to nominate at
ST. Louis, by the Peoples Party con-
vention, and l second the nominal
tion.'
Edward Peterson. of Triumph: 81
cannot get along without your paper.
1t takes the lead among reform pa
pers. We say it is the best paper in
the United States, and long may it
live and enlighten humanity"
j. M. Becker. Germantown, Ohio,
| sends good list, and writes: For
President, Ignatius Donnelly, for
Vice President, T. E. Watson-will
make US all happy
E. S. Smith, of Virginia. Mimi,
sends a list and writes that 1.-THE
| light has begun to dawn on the minds
of the working men in that city, and
that the Peoples Party is the strong
est party there.
Ben Peacock, Glenwood, Mimi,
sends US 81, and says: We must sus-
tain our papers at all hazards or else
we are lost"
w. H. Jones, of Glendale, n. D., re-
| mits for splendid list, and with
cheering words of encouragement.
K. L. Larsen writes: II am we'll
satisfied with THE REPRESENTATIVE,
| and hope it will have a bright future
| financially as we'll as politically.
