POLITICAL TRICKS.

Populists everywhere will be disguised
with Senator Buffers tricks described in
another column 1t is almost beyond be-
lief that the chief official of great party
whose first principle is the referendum
should, by dishonest trick, try to pre-
vent referendum and defeat the will of
majority. 1t will be in order for SEN
atOr Butler to explain away this charge
if possible and if the charge be truo
there will be the loudest kind of a de-
mand that he resign his present position
as chairman of the national committee
There is no room in the Populist party
for either fusionists or mid-roaders who
will in any way attempt to obscure the
will of the majority. The first principle
op Populism demands a peoples govern
ment and the putting aside of bosses and
ring politicians, and in the estimation Of
all staunch Populists no more serious
charge could have been made against
Senator Butler than the one herein pre-
ferred r. T

HAIL INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Here is something that will interest
the farmer readers:
s07e of the farmers mutual hail in
snr;ince companies will be thoroughly
investigated by Insurance Commission
er Dearth before they are granted IL
censes the coming year.
Some of the companies have been
conducted on business principles, and
have paid their losses in full, but many
have made no pretense of doing so, and
now the courts of the state are full of
suits by policy holders endeavoring to
collect on losses, and suits by the CT.
ficers of the companies against delin-
Quent policy-holders.
One of the hardest contests now be-
ing made is against the Minnesota Mu-
tual Hail and Cyclone Insurance COM
pany, of Amboy, which wants to con-
tinue business next year. The COM
pany recently brought suit against W.
L. Hoover, Of Nashville, Martin coun-
ty, to recover $12 assessed against him
case and brought out in the evidence
at the trial that during the past year The
company had received from assess
ments SOL 900, Of which $4,000 had
been paid to officers and agents, and
only $4,000 in losses. 1t was shown
that the president and secretary had
drawn $14,4SO for their services, be-
sides other sums. Each had allowed
himself salary of over $1,000 while
the losses were unpaid, and heavy as
sessments were being levied on the pol
icy holders.
If these latter statements are true
all the people of the state should know
the fact. 1t is a fearful wrong to wrest
from the farmers, whose average cash
incomes will not exceed $500 each,
salaries of $1,000 in these hard times.

1t would indeed be pardonable and
quite natural if our editor in chief
should feel some qualification and pride
over the many kind, complimentary and
pleasant things just now going the
rounds of the, press both in relation to
his approaching marriage and his new
book soon to be published. One very
noticeable feature of these press COM
ments is that many of the most ell
logistic and flattering are found in old
party papers that have for years been
Mr. Donnelly's most bitter political OPP
pcnents.
The next most noticeable thing is
their unanimity of sentiment in each
instance expressing the highest respect,
admiration and regard for the personal
ity irrespective Of politics. 1t does not
seem to have occurred to one of these
commentators that a difference of po-
litical views rendered it necessary to
resort to personal abuse.
Some prominent fusionist will prObab-
ly soon point to these complimentary no.
ties and especially to the omissions of
personal abuse as evidence conclusive
that Mr.. Donnelly and these old party
editors are in cahOots. E. A. T.

Editor Representative:
l find the following news item in The
daily papers of Minnesota and Dakota:
Louverne, Mimi, Jan. 18-The firm Of
Long & Prescott, merchants at Magnolia,
assigned last night to Alexander Walker;
liabilities, $4,000; assets, $4,000. The
firm has done a big credit business. and
collections with them have been slow,
owing to the big hailstorm of last July.
L. C. Long, the great Populist leader, is
left practically destitute.
do not like to parade my misfortunes
before the world, but as l have always
in my Alliance speeches claimed to be a
farmer, l would like the Alliance papers
of the state to publish this letter that
may be set right before the Alliances of
the state. The Long of the firm is lily
son, All the connection 1 have had with
the business has been to furnish money,
even to selling the last bushel of grain,
to pay the creditors.
To show the inacuracy of news items
l would say that the liabilities amount
to $1,000 and the assets at $500 But,
of course, under an assignment sale,
there will not be enough realized to pay
the debts. For two months 1 have work.

of the important things for consider
alton Feb 16. It is probable that both
committees are substantially agreed on
platform Of principles. One faction be-
lieves we can reach reform best with tho
aid OF the Democratic party as party.
The other faction will cooperate with
Democrats only as individuals and not
as Democratic party. One faction be-
lieves there is no distinction between
Bryan Democrat and the Democratic
party and 1t Is at this point that the
mid-roaders lock horns and demand a
referendum.
The state central committee should
be left to act freely and consider these
questions after their own fashion. If
1.-The fusion ideas and methods prevail in
the committee, then let the other COM
mittee meet March 18th and this whole
policy Of fusion be decided by referen-
dunn vote. Nothing less would satisfy
the anti's. Thousands of honest Pop
ullsts will never again vote ticket
tainted with the Democratic name. They
would join the socialists or return to
the Republicans. 1t will be for this
state central committee to size up this
faction Of POpulists and determine
whether they are really so Insignificant.
The standing of the 81 men named by
Doctor Johnson to some extent may
serve as pointer. On the other hand
the committee may decide to stand by
Populism straight in which event fu-
sionists could draw cuts for position in
the Populist or the Democratic ranks,
and it would be earnestly hoped that all
would quickly quit straddling and take,
one party or the other. The idea is
gaining force that there is little place
anywhere for political go-between.

GIBBS AN HONEST MAN
An Appeal to Him to Stand BY the
People.

Hon. F. c. Gibbs, Waterville, Mimi.
My Dear Sir: l write to you because
/ imagine it is particularly your power,
privilege and duty now to protect our
great industrial and farming classes
from the scheming intrigues of dozen
selfish politicians of the Twin Cities.
They snarl like hungry dogs over the
1esh-pots. If there is any deviltry to
be Matched the nest for it is oftenest
in the cities. The politician, Bryan, re-
fusing for policys sake to commit him
self to an educational campaign, eager
for the crowd to bear him to the White
House, ended his harangue in Mime
apolis about an obsolete ratio of 1871
with the enthusiastically fetching re-
mark, ''let the Populists follow me
blindly and we will share the spoils of
Office after election" This is the bait
these few city fellows, anxious to sell
our party and sacrifice it's principles,
are swimming after in the muddy water
Of personal abuse. On one side YOU
have handful of politicians, and on
the other the great mass of farmers OPP
pressed by monetary and railroad dis
ordinations.
No honest man will hesitate on whose
side to stand. Neutrality is death. He
who falters Is lost. There is but one
way in which you can show your friend
ship for the farmers and opposition to
the politicians. These city schemers
are begging you not to call the con-
vention on or before the 18th of March,
because the honest farmer can then at
tend. They are begging you not to
call the convention on or before the
18th of March because that will give
them only a week or two more to
straddle the fence. They are begging
you so because they know conven-
ton on the 18th of March will deprive
them of that counterfeit amount of i'm
aginary votes which their treacherY
would impose upon Democracy as their
part of sinful bargain, and because
they would too soon be forced to show

quests for cards Of invitation to the

cards will be issued, and necessarily
among such a multitude some good

their real Democratic hearts. Their
game is up. They are squirming. For
these same reasons, we ask you, Mr.
Gibbs, chairman of the state commit
tee, to meet us at the Clarendon Hotel,
st. Paul, Jan. %. Should you hesitate, can
you be quite sure that this one sin #
omission of yours will not set back tho
righteous interests Of the toiling farm
ers many years to the delight Of city
politicians and the enrichment Of the
monopolies?
1t is especially true today in view Of
the public unrest and discomfort, due 70
hard times, that the great Populist
party, of our state, once second in num-
bers to but one, can now succeed bet
ter than ever, without the deadeni1g
weight Of the worn out old Democratic
machine. There never will be better
time for the farmers to come down
here than on the 18th of March, 1885, and
show the world that they are alive to
their own interests and will now take
just rights. A city fusionist aud law
yer scornfully said 'the mid-roaders
have no one for governor" He was
silver Republican, of the Washburn
gang, who backed the Republican, John
Lind. 1 replied, What is the matter
with Long. Meighen, Vermilyea, Rahil-
ly, Donnelly, Poore, Gibbs, Hopkins,
Halyorson, Boon, Hubbard and a dozen
others equally as good?" A listener,
who overheard the conversation, an
swered, They are all right" "Yes."
and 1 wish 1 had added, land for once
make out the whole state slate with
men outside of the Twin Cities, and
enough even Of us city fellows Will
hustle around to fight for them, to
show that the whole of wisdom does not
center in Minneapolis and St. Paul"
Yours truly,

THAT CALL.

In another column will be found a
call from Hon. F. C. Gibbs, chairman Of
our state central committee. 1t comes
to our office just as we are ready to go
to press and thousands of Populists
throughout the state will exclaim "bet-
ter late than never"
The front wheels of the Populist
chariot had grown tired of waiting for
the hind wheels and had already begun
rolling the party toward decisive
referendum on the 18th of March and
the party will now anxiously watch to
see whether in future all these wheels
will track.
IT they will now line up and keep in
line the rank and file will furnish the
power, the votes, to. place Populism
once more second if not indeed first in
the race and support this committee
with its votes, it's money and it's prayers.
