In the matter of the platform of prin-
ciples the convention was unanimous.
There was no division of sentiment on
the resolutions. They deal mostly
with state issues, and indicate along
what lines the campaign will be
fought this fall. The allied forces
have now presented the opportunity
and the people of Minnesota can pro-
ceed to smash corrupt ring rule ifthey
choose to do so. If we mistake not
the air is full of true American indepen-
dence and patriotism this year. Early
in November a message will speed
away to the battle-felds of Cuba that
will run something like this: "John-
ME, come hone. The people OF Min
nesota have chosen you to clean out
the enemies of good government in
your own state.''

THE STATE CONVENTION,

11C = ~ e NONvcN JON.
The peoples party of the state as
sembled in convention at Normanna
Hall last Wednesday. There were
over a thousand delegates. Every
shade of opinion in regard to COOP
Grafton with the democrats and silver
republicans was expressed, but asa
matter of fact nearly every delegate
present had some plan for the union
of the reform forces. ..:sTrue, there was
an element present that would insist
on disruption, but they constituted but
a very small fraction of the delegates.
A majority of the delegates were in
favor OF each party nominating the
ticket agreed upon, and each to main
tain it's party organization. Others
were in favor of amalgamating the
three parties into citizens movement
for this campaign and drop the peo-
ple's party organization for the time
being. This latter plan was cham
pioned by the so-called ''mid-roaders"
to a man. 1t was pointed out that to
drop the peoples party organization
at this time would lead to endless COM
plications in districts and counties
where peoples party tickets have al
ready been nominated. It was prob
ably this that commended the plan to
| those of the mid-roaders who we're bent
on disruption. Every delegate pres
ent voted in favor of either of these
plans for corporation.
The real disturbance at the conven-
tion was personal contest between
Messrs. Donnelly and Owen. The
formers rule or ruin policy had final
ly led to the point where it became
necessary to decide which was the
greater, Ignatius Donnel]y or the peo-
ple's party of Minnesota. No one
who listened to the terrible denounce-
ment of Donnelly by Mr.. Owen could
avoid thinking it fit retribution for
the columns of diatribes and tongue
lashings which Mr.. Donnelly has per-
pretrated through his paper upon any,
one inside the party who has seen fit
to differ with him. Mr. Donnelly had
a large following in the convention
that did not approve of Mr.. Owen re-
marks and a great deal of feeling was
iucited. A terrible hubbub ensued.
Later, however, when it became neces-
sary to choose between the party and
Mr.. Donnelly, the greater part of his
sympathizers preferred to remain in
the party. Mr.. Donnelly gave formal
notice that he would not abide by the
doings Of the convention, and it is
difficult to understand how he can
| henceforth have anything in common
with the peoples party

AT the late Republican convention, a
delegate introduced resolution calling
on congress to enact a law requiring
the superintendent of Federal Gem
eteries to take care of Confederate Gem
eteries in like manner as they are now
required to care for Federal cemeteries.
We were especially gratifed at the
spirit manifested by the resolution, but
the proceedings of the convention do
not show that it was adopted. 1t was
referred to the committee on resolutions
and allowed to sleep the sleep that
knows no waking. The Republican
convention may have entertained the
sentiment expressed in this resolution,
but it had not the courage to so express
itself as a body.-Little Rock Demo
