SPLENDID
The Minneapolis POpulists Repuliate
Fusion With Democracy-They Will
Go 1t Alone.

Right in the home Of Owen, Dobbyn.
Stacy and Lynch the Populists of Hen
nepin county refused, last Monday
night, to adjourn their county and city
conventions, so as to fuse with the DEM
ocrats and free silver parties in the
nomination Of their city and county

This redeems Hennepin county from
the disgrace put upon her in the state
convention, of June 18th, when IS of her
delegates followed Owen into the DEM
ocratic camp, and turned the scale
against straight Populism.

THE U. s. SENATORSHIP.

The enemy are trying to make it ap-
pear that the bolt from "fusionism" was
caused by the fact that the fusion con-
vention of June Is would not indorse the
editor of this paper for U. s. senator.
The resolution was offered by that
able, young delegate from st. Paul, MIR.
Paradis, and II any one will make in
Quiry Of him he will find that Mr.. Para
dis was not requested by us to offer any
such resolution; that we never had q
word of conversation with him on the
subject; and that the resolution was an
utter surprise to us. We were about to
request Mr. Paradis to withdraw it, when
the bulldozing Democrat who occupied
the chair ruled it out OF order.
The next day when it was offered by
Mr. Rahilly in the midroad convention
it was again without our knowledge, but
we concluded to say nothing, ~ We had
been SO shameful1y abused in the con
vention Of June Is by Owen, Bowler. etc.

FULL TICKET NAMED.

Twenty-six Mid-ROaders Hold = State
Convention in Michigan.
Grand Rapids, Mich. June 22.-Only
26 delegates were present when the state
convention Of middle of-the-road Popu-
lists was called to order yesterday. The
main Populists convention, comprising
those fayoring fusion will be held today,
simultaneously with the Democratic and
silver Republican state conventions.
The platform denounces fusion, demands
the abolition of national banks; declares
against the issue of government bonds
for any purpose whatever; favors the in
itiative and referendum; government
ownership of railroads and telegram
lines
A full state ticket was nominated al
follows: Governor, Sullivan Cook, Of
Hartford; lieutenant governor, Austin S.

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.

The Republican newspapers of the
country since 1896 have had the ear of
the fusion crowd and done all in their
power to encourage the fusionists and
bring about fusion.
1t Is the great Republican dailies that
have been the most potent agencies in
promoting fusion sentiment.
If the mid road faction has in truth
been assistant Republican" 1t must be
clear that Republican newspapers have
failed to recognize our friendly services.
The Republican press applauded and
coddled the fusionists in Oregon and
gained 10000 votes and carried TIE
state. They did the same thing in Ohio
and Iowa and one-half of our party

Republican majority With the mid

WHAT THEY SAY OF OUR TICK Eft

(From the St. Paul Dispatcb)
Inc Popocrats and Demo-P Pops Of St. Paul
should feel at home in the coming state
campaign.
It will be Of the same pattern nc thoso
they have been conducting here at home
Tor some years past. They will have no
cnance OF defeating the Republicans They
won't even be able to stir up an interesting
debate but they will have no end OF hair
pulling among themselves. AS usual they
will carry the fight into the courts to see
which faction is entitled to the Populist
name.
On the whole. the md-road ticket Put up
In Minneapolis yesterday will compare very
favorably with the one nominated by the
fusionists Of the day before.
Some Of their candidates. are, perhaps,
not so well known as those Of the fusion
lists, which is no small advantage in itself,
for a Democratic or a Populist candidate.
l.. c. Long, Of Magnolia, has been an ALI
ance leader for many years, and this is his
second offense for he was at one time I'M
wise enough to run for congress against
Republican nominee in the First district
He Is rather conservative, hard headed
old farmer, which disadvantage Is counter
acted to some extent by the fact that he
met with disaster in some of his business
ventures not long ago. This in turn is neu-
tralized by the fact that he paid his credit
ors in full, an act which. by all the tradi-
tons Of the Populist party, should disquali-
fly a man for any office, but more particu-
larIy an important Office like that of COVER
nor.
KitteI Halvorsen, the candidate for lieu
tenant-governOr. was once unfortunate
enough to be elected to congress from the
old Fifth district. When the state was re-
apportioned, It was done in such way that

tween the Sixth and Seventh districts. He
was accordingly accredited to both districts

An Answer to Bowler.

According to the Democratic and fus-
ionist papsuckers every mid-roader.
every Populist, is in the pay of Jim HILL
Jim Hill never feared the Democratic
party. He could always depend on the
leaders to do his dirty work. When ne
could not reach them in any other way
he sent Father Ireland after them. But
the Peoples Party was another kind
Of an outfit. Hill could neither fool.
frighten nor buy them. Hence, as soon
as the fusion idea was invented Hill
helped the Democrats to swallow the
Populists. It was a nice scheme and q
delicate job, but it was duly accomplish
ed.
TO draw the attention of the people
from themselves, the fusion papers at
once set up the cry that Hill was buy
ing the leaders of pure Populism to
stand against fusion. Donnelly has been
their target SO far. We do not know
what relations exist between Donnelly
and Hill, but we do know that were
