Let the man who loves mankind
take the place of the man who loves
only himself. Let the man who has
toiled lifetime, unpaid, for the re-
lief OF the poor and the distressed, the
humble and the unfortunate, sup

istence scheming and plotting and
contriving bow he could destroy those
who were his superiors; and ride into
power upon principles in which he did
not believe. A
He was sent down to ST. Louis, I'M
der instructions to vote for us, for
president. as long as there was any
possibility of our being nominated.
His first action when he arrived there
was to take delegate after delegate
aside, and, with honeyed phrases and
candied looks, say to them:
II am friend Of Mr.. Donnelly, but
do. not think he cares for a compli-
mentary vote for president; and there
is danger il we cast So votes for him
that it may stampede the convention
to him: we can't tell what may hap
pen; and we want Bryan"
We did not seek the presidency. but
we do not think our long service to
the party deserved that we should be
treated like a dog.
And then Owen had it all cooked
and primed" that Dobbyh should
nominate him as Minnesota $ member
OF the committee on resolutions, SO
that he might whittle away the plat
form in every particular possible.
And when some one asked Aver,
after his return home. why the
delegation treated st,us as they did,
his reply was:-'. Don nelly wanted
everything and We were termined
he should have nothing! s'4 -aoh~
The truth is We did hot ask for any
thing. 80
And this is the insignificant crea-
ture we persuaded the League to elect
Secretary against letter man, and
enabled him to live off the farmers of
Minnesota for two years past. until
his sides are ready to burst with fat
ness.
Mr.. Queen cannot be elected to Congress.
We have had steady stream Of
workingmen pouring into our office
for days past, all swearing they will
vote for Loren Fletcher before they
will for Owen.
Doctor Ames has several times car
ried Minneapolis for Mayor; he can
carry it again. Owen will withdraw
if Ames is in the field. He would not
accept the Populist nomination until
the Democrats had endorsed him! He
will back out the moment he sees de-
feat is certain. He is not the stuff
of which martyrs are made.
Anaes IS the man. II he does not run
Fletcher will be elected.

the salvation of the American people.

Pursue the course of courteous
liberation in which you have COM

est respect for the Peoples Party, and
for those gallant and heroic pioneers
OF craftsmanship who, at the cost of q
world of sacrifices, have hewed down
the forests Of ignorance and error and
blazed the pathway along which you
are advancing to certain victory.
Great applause.)
Remember, if you do not agree with
us in everything, it is simply because
your education is not yet finished.
(Laughter.)
-Four years from now l hope that in
stead Of holding two conventions, we
will be welded together in one solid
mass. (Cheers.) But to do this, my
friends. you must, as party, be true
to your pledges to give the people re-
lief. There must be no steps back

There will be meeting Of the
Populists Of Stearns, Benton and
Sherburne counties, at Munsinger's
hall, ST. Cloud, Sunday. Aug. Is. at
2 O'Clock p. M, for the purpose of
making arrangements to establish q
Peoples Party paper for those coun-
ties. 1t is hoped that all friends of
the party, and all who have the well
fare of the party at heart, will attend
this meeting, and give their hearty
cooperation to such worthy cause.
We understand that Mr.. E. A.
Twitchell, of Minneapolis, author of
''Bond and Industrial Slaves" will be
the editor IL the paper is established.
Mr.. Twitchell is a good Populist, and
good writer, and would give the peo-
pie of ST. Cloud, and surrounding
counties spicy and newsy sheet. The
opportunity should be improved and
the paper established.

We have spent many thousands of
dollars for our party's principles, and
Mr.. Owen, 50 far as we are aware, has
never spent one cent except for per-
spnal expenses when a candidate. In
1892 Gen'l. James H. Baker, who was
running for Congress. in the I'd district,
showed US letter from Mr.. Owen to
him, in 1890, telling him that he ex-
pccted him, (Baker), to pay his,
(Owcn's) expenses while he was in his
(Baker's) congressional district, run
ming for governor! General Baker
said to US he had enough to do to pay
his own expenses, and he saw no rea-
son why he should pay Mr.. Ovens.

although, as is frequently the case, the
senator's judicial career has been
bounded by the four walls of the Office

Two men equally equipped went out
from Nebraska to attend that cele-
brated convention which nominated
Harrison eight years ago. Both were

railroad attorneys. Both were clever

Charles J. Greene, Is still the head of
the Buriington's legal business in Ne
braska, being overtopped only by Sena-
tor Henderson, the lines general soil

a United States senator and a probable
secretary Of state. Starting from the
same scratch line these two men have
fallen farther apart yearly until now

while Thurston is fixing up to fool
around among ambassadors and
barons and things at Washington.

his nomination to succeed himself.
One or two ifs can do a great deal OF
damage il fate only places them care
fully.
Mr.. Thurston Is practically the owner
OF this convention. Except for Nc
Kinley he will himself be the fat wom-

speeches. and he has words enough up

He is very anxious that the candidates

he gathered up all the candidates he

where they were all given a bath In

The nominee Of the republican con-

able man. Not since the days OF Lin
coin and Grant has a public man In
this country become such a popular
idol, and Lincoln was brought to public
notice under unique conditions, and
Grant was made a public hero through
the events of the civil war. Blaine

man-in the highest sense the typical

character as exemplified in his private
life have endeared him to the people
and given him a peculiar place In
their affections. Mr.. Mckinley Is today

all that is noblest and best in the
American character and standing for
that which is honest and true and

Probation sounds well, but, unfortunately.
the real period of probation comes after
marriage and not before it. You might as
we'll set two partially blind people to study
each others physical defects as two lovers
to study each others moral shortcomings.
Love is blind until it has crossed the Rubi-
con. 1t is only when it stands on the other
side and the boats have been burned that
it opens its eyes. Many a couple who are
admirably suited to each other as lovers
find themselves utterly unable to get on
comfortably as husband and wife.
1t is not probationary courtship that is
needed to remedy the evils of which the
Daily Telegraph's correspondents complain.
but probationary marriage. This great sex
ual problem will never be satisfactorily
settled for the victims of Western civiliza-
ton until we have a form of marriage
which can be dissolved by mutual consent,
with every legal safeguard for the welfare
and status OF the children born of the
union. At present there is possible freedom
for the guilty victims of ill-assorted mar
riages, but only lifelong slavery for those
who. though utterly wretched together,
still keep the vows they made upon their
wedding day.
Such is the latest aspect of the sex
question in Europe. 1t is certain to be re-
vived again in some form in the next dull
season, and acres of white paper will be
spoiled and gallons of ink will again be
shed in the futile discussion.
