Three Liars in n Row.

'Tgnatius Donnelly, in his reply to $. NJ.
Owen in the Populist state convention
made the statement that in 1896 he did not
solicit anybody to support him Tor or ala
him in securing the Populist nomination
for president.
I'm making this statement Mr.. Donnelly
appears to run counter to other witnesses
It is claimed that prior to the assembling
Of the Populst convention in this congress
sonal district for the purpose of electlng
delegates to the st. Louis convection, Mr.
Donnelly asked ME-. F. N. Stacy, of this
city, to draw and Introduce in that conven-
tion resolution inStructing the delegates
there chosen to support him DOnnelly) for
the presidential nomination. Mr.. Stacy
drew the resolution, which was adopted
and which Mr.. Donnelly claims was an in
struction but which others interpreted only
as a complimentary reference to the Sage
of Nininger.
Mr.. Donnelly personally requested Mr.
w. r. Dobbyn to draw resolution of in
structiOn for him. to be introduced in the
mass convention in the first district. Mr..
Dobbyn. in conjunction with T. ]. Meighen,
complied with his request, ard drew the
resolution. which was adopted.
Mr.. Donnelly also requested E. r. Lynch
to draw a resolution in his favor
These are facts susceptible of proof
They show that Mr.. Donnely's word is
not always to be relied upon. minneapolis

FALSE.

Our opponents are trying to make cut
that the revolt against fusion was pure
ly "Donnellian' movement.
This is not true We gave notice. at
the request of scores of delegates, that
a meeting would be held at the close of
the session for conference" When we
met at 10 a. M. on the 10th inst, in
Grand Army Hall, DR.. Johnson called on
all who were in favor of putting I'D
straight ticket to rise. AS far as
we could see every man in the hall
stood up. In the afternoon, when it
was proposed that we adjourn without
putting up ticket, we remained silent:
but it was voted down unanimously. In
fact, we made no speech at any time in
favor of separate action.
The movement was bigger than any
man. 1t voiced the determination of
the Peoples Party not to be turned over
to Democracy and destroyed.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1898-06-22

bles to give similar testimony? They
will each declare we asked him to draw
such a resolution.
"The river Rhine, It's known,
Doth wash the city of Cologne;
But oh, We gods, what power divine,
Shall henceforth wash the river
Rhine?"
We have the testimony Of Stacy, Dob
byn and Lynch, but who will testify for
Stacy, Dobbyn and Lynch?
Stacy was our bitter enemy at that
time, for the very sufficient reason that
we had hired him to write for this paper
to keep him from starving. Stacy was
right The man that would do that
ought to be punished.
At the st. Louis Populist conven-
ton, when the Hennepin delegation
made up their minds to repudiate their
instructions, to vote for us for presi-
dent, some man, with some portion Of
gentlemanly instinct, suggested that
they appoint committee to wait on us,
and request us to release them from
that obligation. And thereupon Stacy
rose up in his wrath and objected
savagely and said not the slightest at
tention or respect should be paid to us!
And this is the awful liar who now
says we asked him to draw a resolution
instructing the Hennepin delegation to
vote for us for president!!
look at his dreadful countenance is
enough to warrant the Persian theory,

THE PEOPLE RESPONDING.

We would call attention to the COM
municatfon in another column, from
thirty-ftve Populists of Eyota, Ohm
sted county, approving of the action of
the Mid-Roaders. in putting up another
ticket, and organizing to preserve the
life of the Peoples Party We believe
this paper represents the response that
will come up from every corner of the
state. Olmsted county has always been
conservative, and yet we see how the
people feel even there. :.
Friends, let us hear from you. Speak

MUST TAKE THEIR MEDICINE.

The fusion conspirators begin to real
lie that they have made fools of them
selves, and they are now saying that
they will go on the official ballot as
the Peoples Party ticket"
1t can't be done, gentlemen. Under
our statutes the name of a candidate
can appear only ONCE on the ballot;
and after his name must follow the
name Of the party or parties that nomi-
mated him. So when the voters 20 to
the booths next November they will
read:
FOR GOVERNOR.
L. G. LOng-Peoples Party.
John nd-DEMOCRATIC-P
The law of 1895 provides that the
name Of the party that nominated a
man first must come first; SO it will be:
John Lind, Democrat Peoples" not
John Lind. People's-Democrat."
Won't that be a nice mess for old
Republicans to swallow.
Why did not the Democrats hold back
and let the fusion Populists nominate
Lind first?

the nondescripts should have the gov

A SICK GANG,

The fusionists realize that their game
is busted and now they are beginning
to talk of Citizens Independent con-
vention'' in September, to nominate a
non-partisan ticket on the Omaha plat
form!
Why did not they accept Mr.. Meighen's
proposition in the convention? Their
hind sight is splendid, but their fore
sight is nowhere.
They need not bother; they will have
no ticket in the field before September.
Who will they get to pay $50 for the
certainty of an overwhelming defeat?
Go ahead boys; we will soon have the
field to ourselves. /. D.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1898-06-22

are beginning to consider whether fu-
sion is centripetal or centrifugal
force. It's supporters can only advo-
cate fusion on the theory that 1t is a
centripetal force, like the force of
gravity drawing all the voters together
around a common center for common
purpose and such is in fact their ar
gument.
Anti-fusionists insist that it is but a
centrifugal force, and that like an eX-
ploding bomb, scatters the voters and
demolishes parties.
A few more experiences like Ore
gon, Iowa, and Ohio will draw the line
between fools and philosophers.

INSTRUCTED TO BOLT.

In some quarters the mid-road con-
vention is criticised for boiling. It
should be understood that several coun-
ty delegations came instructed against
fusion.
At the Swift county convention a
resolution instructing the delegates not
to bolt under any circumstances was
voted down.
That staunch Populist Martin E..
Johnson, of Benson, was in this delega-
ton and the delegation stood manfully
by their constituents and refused to
join the Democratic party. EAT.

The Democrats get the little end Of
the fusion swap They gave something
for nothing, and they will now de-
mand that the word peoples" be
dropped from the fusion ticket, to
strengthen Bryan Democracy in 1900
The fusionists will then all vote the
Democratic ticket straight, as in Iowa,
because they believe it makes no diff
fierce under what banner we march.

into power were made happy this week by the
receipt OF checks for the full amount OF their
salaries with interest Controller Coler refused to
pay any OF the salaries for January and prior
months unless suit brought and Judgment
obtained. Some Of the old School Boards paid the
salaries up to January 81. when they went out Of
power but there were 1913 teachers in the borough
who had not received their January salary Some
had not received their pay for December and to
one the November salary was due. The amount
aggregated nearly $1,000. 1t is understood that
