More Denuncation of the Men Who Are Labor
ing to Destroy the Peoples Party.
Editor Representative:
Please lind enclosed 81 to keep my
name on your list for another wear as
| can not do without living issue Of
Reform as | see without a radical Re-
form, land that soon), the country is
gone, although the Peoples Party
makes slow progress, all through bad
management by the men at the head
or our party.
The convention at ST. Louis was a
Swlndle and a great damage to the
Peoples Party by fusion with a party
that they had already downed.
If the Peoples Party had been
headed by middle Of the-road" men
we would be away ahead of what we
are. But they instead tried to de-
stroy the Omaha platform and party.
1t is to be hoped the Peoples Party
has learned a lesson that they will
not forget; and will never permit the
schemers to hood wink them again.
The fusion plan, it is plain to be seen
now, is certainly played out. 1t has
cost the Peoples Party great deal Of
time and money, and has come near
des troying the party. 1t makes me
tired when / think how the Hon. Ig-
natius Donnelly was used by men pre-
tending to be Peoples Party men, but
instead proved themselves poison to
the Omaha platform.
Hoping The REPRESENTATIVE will
strike straight from the shoulder, as
it has done in the past; and let the
Peoples Party rally around the
Omaha platform, and not allow a nail
pulled from a single plank.
Come. Brothers, let us, to man
rise in our might TO support and stand
by the great frontier true and noble
patriot, reform paper, which is THE
REPRESENTATIVE, which will not
turn its back for any, great or snail
who Expresses the people, but declares
its grand principles in every ISIS ue, of
pure government. Yours truly,

MIR. Donnelly, as legislator this

extravagancies which characterized
his earlier public career, and to have
settled down to the idea Of doing

ence and observation, he is now at the
zenith of his powers and the highest
potentiality OF his usefulness.
The manner in which he has con.
Quoted the movement to test the
states right Of property in the most
valuable iron mines in the world
shows an absence OF that acerbity and
zest OF denunciatiOn which formerly
characterized his dramatic onslaughts
upon what he regarded as abuses. All
this is replaced by the persuasion, log
..
In this vein Mr.. Donnelly is irresist-
IDLE, and the impression he made up

too early to say, but the facts will no

cover the property is also a problem
for the future to solve, but the stake

with Maceo In Cuba" is the title
or an interesting book just from the
pen of Captain Il. E. Woodward, the
Minneapolis boy, who made record
in Cuba which Minnesotans are proud
Of, eighteen months ago. Tue news
papers all over the United States, and
in fact all over the world, contained
daily accounts of his adventures, tue
news OF his capture, the report of his
supposed death while fighting by the
side Of Jose Marti, the fact that he
was sentenced to death and his escape
from the Spaniards finally ending in
his escape from the island on a Brit
iSh steamship.
The book is we'll written although
there is no claim made to literary
merit. 1t consists OF about 200 pages
which are trimming over with adven-
lures and anecdotes Of the various
leaders in Cuba with whom Captain
Woodward was associated during his
sojourn there. 1t reads like a romance
of Olden time when the youth of civil
lied countries buckled on the armor
OF their fathers and went forth to
fight the heather Every page is
brim-full with interest.
There are half hundred ilrustra-
tiOnS which were made from sketches
taken by the author in Cuba. Battle

4 BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

The success of the Democratic party
in the State of Maryland seems now
assured. Most cheering indications OF
victory are daily increasing, and the
party is full OF enthusiasm and hope.
The nomination of Mr.. Henry Williams
for Mayor of Baltimore, was a fortu-
nate movement and his election is al
ready almost universally conceded
This promise of success will inspire
the Democracy throughout the State
and many Of the doubtful counties will
be found in line after the next election
The condition Of politics in this county
will most naturally lead to the choice
of the Democratic candidates, and the
only question now seems to be the size
of the majority they will receive.

REVISION OFTHE CURRENCY

The members of the monetary com
mission expect within 4 few days to be
able to announce the subcommittee
which will have charge Of the various
branches OF the investigation tobe made.
There will be three of these subcom-
mittees, one on gold and silver, which
will investigate the subject Of our basic
money, the extent of the use Of silver.
etc, one on United States notes, which
will investigate the several classes of
outstanding United States notes, the
ACCESSIBILITY of retiring the greenbacks,
etc, and one OH banking, the duty of
which will be to consider and formulate
q banking scheme which will meet the
demands and requirements Of the
country.
As the discussion has proceeded the
members realize the wide scope OF the
investigation upon which they are Ell
tering and are beginning to doubt their
ability to complete their iabors and
submit their report before Congress as
sembles In fact, one of them stated
Wednesday that he did not expect the
report to be ready before the middle
of December. Although no decisive &C
ton has yet been taken on this point,
it is almost certain that the permanent
headquarters of the commission will he
in Washington.

The Spanish cabinet has resigned
and the Queen of Spain has summoned
the leaders of the various parties and
the presidents of the chambers to coz
suit as to the situation. Senior Sagas
ia, the liberal leader, has been { .e
graphed for and it is believed that he
will be asked to form 4 cabinet. He
is in favor Of superseding Captain-Gen
eral Weyler, and of granting autonomy
to Cuba Immediately.
The attitude of this government is
evidently causing sensation in Spain
and termination of the miserable wal
in Cuba seems now to be not far dis
