4 LIAR IMPALED.

That skalawag, Frank N. Stacy, stood
up in the convention of June Is, and
stated that the Peoples party" could
go upon the state ballot without a pe-
tition; and when l took issue with him.
he brazenly declared that my son, an
attorney at law of st. Paul, had rem
dered a decision or opinion to that eff
feet The idiots all applauded him; but
l, knowing Stacy of old, and knowing
that he had the gall and mendacity of
gorilla, did not believe his state
ment, and wrote the following letter to
my son:
Minneapolis, MINI, June q, '9S.
My Dear Son.
In our state convention the unspeak-
able, Frank M. Stacy, introduced your
name in the debate, and quoted you as
authority for the statement that the
Peoples party Of the state had right
to go on the state ballot without pc
tition. l took the ground that no "Peo-
pies party appeared on the state bal
lot two years ago. Our fusion candi-
dates were voted for as People s-Demo-
crat, hence as the Peoples party re-
ceived nc votes it could not go upon
the ballot except by petition:
Please advise me if you ever made
such statement to Stacy or anyone
else.
AnectiOnately yours,
IGNATIUS DONNELLY.
To this l received the following re-
ply:
st. Paul, Mimi, June %, '9S.
hon. lgnatius Donnelly,
Hastings, Mimi
Dear SIR
Yours of the 9th inst at hand In
replying to the same desire to say that
neither our firm nor myself have been
called upon by Mr. Stacy, or anyone
else, to construe the election law. an
plicable to the Peoples party, and there
fore could not, properly. be quoted as
his authority
Yours very respectfully,
STAN. DONNELLY.
This is another illustration of the
kind of creatures that have led the
Peoples party into fusion. 1t is bad
enough to lie in private, but to lie be-
fore 1880 people, for temporary effect,
well knowing that the lie Will be ex-
posed in few hours or days, is depth
OF shame to which few human beings
| would care to descend Id.

with obloQuy and infamy. Their 1T
tie game is busted and they 60 to
certain and overwhelming defeat.
They can spend the rest OF their lives
explaining that 1t Is constitutional to
levy fees on the farmers wheat to pro-
tect the little elevator wheat-thieves
against the big terminal ones; but ut
terly unconstitutional to use the same
farmers fees to protect the farmers
who pay the fees from the robberies Of
both sets of elevator-thieves.
Now. boys. If you want real reform,
organize on the basis of the People
party, fence out the fools and hang the
fusionists on the fence, and go in to
win. 1t can be done even in this cam
paign if every man does his duty. Will
you do it? I. D.

THE JOURNAL GIVES THE CASE

The pluto papers all declare that the
nomination of w. H. Eustis broke the
Republican machine and turned down
bossism and ring-rule in Minnesota
Following such announcement the Jour-
nal innocently makes the following con-
fession Of guilt slips a cog and gives
the case away in these words:
The Republican candidate for governor
mas received more than 500 letters and tele-
ana an they are still coming. These messages
OF good will cover a large part of the
utnfas Some are 9r from the Rocky Mountain
Middle states. The Minnesota colony in
Washington has been heard from almost to
as he can find time for it. Mr.. Eustis will
take several days off and answer these
very heaVy for months and since the
nomination has increased many fold. The
majority OF the messages of congratula-
means better things for the party in Min
nes ta na ana the dawn Of better day in
Ex-Governor A. r. McGiI."
proceeding the Journal quotes tele-
grams of congratulation to Mr.. Eustis
from Albert Scheffer, w. R. Merriam, T.
E. Byrnes, Congressman Heatwole and
McCleary and a number of other ma
chine politicians and in the platform
upon which Eustis was nominated we
find the following plank:
10 Governor Clough and to all the mem
ners o. the present state organization, for
n rme,n noenty to duty and efficiency in the
punic service. We express our OBLIGATIONS
Inc outgoing administration is in
dorsed for its fidelity to duty and Ell
ficiency in the public service" and the
incoming administration is congratu-
lated for turning the old ring down.
This is most beautiful specimen Of
Republican consistency.
The Journal says the Minnesota office
holders at Washington have sent con-
gratulations almost to a man."
1t this galaxy of Republican bosses
and politicians does not constitute the
Republican machine the Journal: should
point out to the public the men who
do.
w. H. Eustis is only a new point on
the same old pillow and if elected suf-
fering people will find the same old
gang of railroad, lumber, elevator and
franchise thieves at the plow handles
and w. H. Eustis will be the newly
sharpened point to rip them up the
back.
1t requires about two years for our
people to discover that a new adminis-
tration is INSCRIPTIONS and corrupt and
robbing the masses for the benefit of
| rings.
The robber push behind the machine
then simply put to the front new pilot
to deceive their unthinking dupes an
other term.
National machines are run in the
same way. Wall street put up Cleve-
land in 1884, Harrison in 1888, Cleye-
land again in 1892, Mckinley in 1896
and in 1900 they are planning to put up
a reformed Democrat. If you wish to
know what kind of president you are
voting for learn who his hackers are.
If you wish to know what interests your
candidate for governor represents ask
to see his kilograms of congratulation.
Do you catch on? E. A. T.

the Peoples party by insinuations that
the editor of 1.-THE Representative is
controlled by corrupt motives, and that
he is ION the make"
It is well known that we have been
in the legislature (senate or house,,
most of the time for Is years past, and
it is also well understood that there is
where corruption most rears it's CHASTITY
head. There is the place where votes
are sold at prices varying from 500 to
$4,000 apiece, according to the magni~
tude Of the issues at stake.
We have repeatedly challenged our
villainous slanderers to name a single
vote of ours i'll the house or senate,
during the past Is years, that was given
against the interests of the people and
in favor of the men who buy up legis-
lators. The journals of the two houses
are open to them but so far no attempt
has been made to accept our challenge
Surely if we, were corrupt the legislative
record would somewhere show certain
proof of the fact.
We now go farther and we challenge
these vile liars to produce a single per-
son, whoever served with us in congress,
or in the state senate or house of repre-
as a man, that we had the reputation,
among our fellows, of being a corrupt
ionist, and that we ever cast vote
against the true interests of the people,
II any man possessed such informa-
ton he could have made money out of
1t by furnishing it to the Pioneer
Press in either of our actions for libel
| against that paper
Judge Flandrau, their attorney, sent
out 500 letters of inquiry to our associ
ates in congress and the legislature in
search of evidence of anything dishon-
est or discreditable in our life, and
could find nothing. They had to go
back 20 odd years to produce any
rumors or hearsay evidence, and even
corrupted jury did not dare to say
they had proved their case In our
| last libel suit with them they did not
| attempt to attack our private character
! at all. They had called on Hon
| Michael Doran, the great and manly
| Democratic leader. who knows the
Vulnerable and corruptible men in all
parties, for evidence that we were dis
honest and took brides. but he told them
their search was in vain that he knew
us we'll, and that we had never made
money by vile practices, or selling oul
vote or brains, on any question to any
party.
And yet Sidney M. Owen, holding of.
flee under the Republicans, through the
influence of the leaders of the wheat
and elevator rings, had the audacity to
allege the other day that we were sor.
did and corrupt-but he gave not par.
tical of proof to sustain his charge!
II we had taken the money we in.
vested in books for our great library
and loaned it out at high rates of in.
terest, We could have desolated whole
counties, and been rich enough to buy
the praises Of the slavering beasts thai
are now barking at our heels. We dc
not own bond, or mortgage, or g
promisOry note, and never received i'll
terest from any one in our whole life
We never sued man in our whole
life-except for libel to protect our gooc
name from rascals, who were trying te
destroy us because we stood in the way
of the plumber of the people. I'D.

Chorus.

Oh. Mr.. Donnelly. don't drive us out. I
say,
Nininger'n have hot time if you will LET
us stay:
And all the boys and girls will sing Tara
ra-boom-de-ay,
There'll be hot time in the old town
tonight
Mr.. Donnelly-
There are people from the country, there
are people from the town.
Some are from the city and from many
miles around.
They are here to have good time and
are having it. 1 see.
But perhaps If l keep singing they VIII
make it hot for me.
NV friends this song is ended, perhaps you
think it nice.
If you wish to keep the chorus you must
pack it down in ice:
Now we're going back to Hastings, TINS is
all that will sing,
But we hope the coming ages with these
words will loudly ring:
oh Mr. DOnnelly, Etc.
AS the assembly dispersed near mid
night and each guest said good night
to their host and hostess, their happy
faces plainly showed that it was hard
for them to say which had contributed
most to their evenings enjoyment, the
fund Of information, wit and anecdote of
the host, or the vivacity, warm geniality
and womanly graces of the hostess. 1t
will long be remembered as the great
event in the social circles of Dakota
county and treasured as a royal good
time in the memory of the writer.

IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DlCOVERY WHICH Is WORTH
THAT MUCH
To Any Que Afflicted With Piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure the new,
painless remedy which has been so re-
markably successful in curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists, and it is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure of this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ. G. Hinkly, of col Mississippi
ST., indianapolis, Ind, says: / had
been a terrible sufferer from piles for
10 years and no remedies benefited me,
until l saw an advertisemnt of the
Pyramid File Cure; l got a package,
also a package of Pyramid Pills and
used both according to directions.

lief obtained and ] now honestly be-
lieve the Pyramid to be the only certain
cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad [

physicians here, who said my case was
new one to them and wanted seven

cure. the great pain had brought

mending the Pyramid, my daughter

GOOD TIMES IN cARBoNDALE.
Plenty of Work and Lots OF Money
Despite Depressing Talk.

There Is plenty of work and lots of
money i'm this city at the present time.
The only thing that should be found
fault with Is the depressing talk about
the Gravity abandonment. This Is un-
questionably causing some little hoard
ing of money that would otherwise be
circulating.
The Gravity commenced full time
again the first of the month and the
Indications are that it will make a must
ling finish. The car shops are more
than busy. The repair shop on John
street was brilliantly Illuminated at
midnight all this week and the night
shift was busily employed. The black
smith shop at the head of Main street
is working ten hours day for the first
time in year. This is due to the length
ing of 800 axles for 200 Gravity cars,
which are to be made to fit the steam
road guage, five inches wide and one
half wider than that Of the Gravity.
The railroads are all making good
time and it is said the Erie paid out
more money here last month than at
any one time in ten years.
At No. 1 breaker the outside hands
are making more than full time and
there is much rejoicing among them
over double time made Thursday.
Extra men have been employed at
Powderly mine making changes in
scales and other things suitable to
the big cars of the steam road.
