QUESTION AND ANSWER.

Our candidate for congress in the
Third district writes us the following
letter:
Editor Representative:
Mr.. Bert Bowler son of Mai. Bowler.
states that the Democratic state central
committee, told his father that at
committee meeting of the mid-road Pop
ulist state central committee a PROPOSE
ton was made by that committee to the
Democrat committee. that if the fusion
committee would withdraw Major Bow
Ter and substitute L. c. Long that the
mid road POpulist ticket would be with
drawn. We demand to know whether
such proposition was ever made and
if not made to brand the liars as they de-
serve. Make it as public as possible.
Yours respectfully,
J. R. LOWE.
There is not a word of truth in this
story. We are sorry to see that the
characteristics Of Jim Bowler have de-
scended undiminished to his SON.
The mid-road Populist committee
never made Or even considered any prop
osition of any kind looking to a treaty
of peace with the Democrats or any one
else
A great many outsiders, Democrats
and Populists, not members of our COM
mittee, have expressed their regret time
and again since June Is, that some kind
of compromise could not be made. SO as
to unite the mid-roaders and the fusion
element and We are told that some
parties have even gone so far on their
own account, without authority from our
state central committee or any one else,
as to approach leading Democrats and
propose some kind of compromise; but
the Democrats have Indignantly spurned
any such proposition; and the mid-road
state central committee would certainly
have taken the same course if any such
proposition had reached them, but it did
not. ID.

GOOD MEN,

The Peoples party candidates for the
house, in Otter Tail county, are all good
and true men.
Hon. Henry Plowman is we'll known to
the Populists of the safe. He was a
member of the legislature years ago, and
made splendid record as refOrmer.
He is familiar with legislative methods,
and can do much more than green
hand.
The same remark applies to Hon. John
o. Emerson, OF Perham, brOad-minded,
sagaciOus, able man. He was, like our
self, member of the last house, and
stood very high in the esteem of his as
sociates. We always found him reliable.
Hon. Knud Peterson, of Underwood
was also member of the last house.
His intelligence and devotion to duty
were universally recognized by all the
house; he is plain, unpretentious man.
With Mr.. Ole Sageng, the fourth candi-
date, we are not so we'll acquainted but
we hear him highly spoken of by our
friends.
We hope the Populists of Otter Tail
county will take hold vigorously and
elect these four gentlemen. The indica-
tions are that the Republicans will not
have majority in the next legislature;
and it is within the possibilities that if
the POpulists stand together they may
secure the election of United States
senator who will represent their princi-
pies, and greatly advance the cause OF
reform.
1t is pity that some compromise can
not be effected on the state senatorial
nomination for Otter Tail county
Get together, gentlemen, get together.
This is no time to quarrel over side is
sues. /. D.

4 WORD TO MIR. RAfNOLDS.
(The Philadelphia American.)

uC L hIlduCAphleb HAAASA ANoH'J
Just one word in regard to the taking
Of the referendum vote as to the acceD-
liability of the candidates nominated by
the Cincinnati convention to the rank
and file of the party, and as ordered
taken by that convention. Mr.. Reynolds,
of the Chicago Express, who has had
many ill-considered and unkindly things
to say of those who took part in the final
action of that convention, seems to labor
under the impression that the duty OF
taking this vote devOlves upon him as
one of the members of the referendum
committee appointed by the st. Louis
conference of last January to determine
the preference of the rank and file Of the
party as to date for holding the national
nominating convention of the Peoples
party This preference determined. the
said committee ended with it's work.
On motion of Capt. Burkitt, the Cincin-
natl convention referred it's work in the
selection of candidates to the rank and
file of the party, and ordered a referen-
dunn vote taken that the individual men,
bers Of the party might be accorded their
right to direct voice in the choice OF
their party candidates. Of this Mr..
Reynolds says that when Brother Bur-
kilt, of Mississippi, offered his resolution,
which was adopted by the last fragment
of the convention, he (BurkitD tried to
make provision for a new committee,
but was told by the chairman something
to the effect that that was already pro-
open. The standing referendum COM
mittee appointed at St. Louis is in duty
bound to proceed with the referendum
vote
The facts are that when Capt. Burkitt
offered his referendum resolution he ap-
pended a resolution for the appointment
of committee of five to direct the TAX
ing of the vote. DR.. Fay, of Minnesota.
suggested that such resolution was I'M
necessary, as the plan of organization al
ready adopted by the convention provid-
ed rules for the taking of referendum
votes. Thereupon Chairman Donnelly
added that rules for the taking of the ref
erendum vote just ordered by the con-
ventiOn we've provided for under the plan
| of organization, and Capt. Burkitt
amended his resolution SO as to read
! that the referendum vote shall
be taken in accordance with the plan

ELECTION IN GEORGIA
Democrats anf Republicans Combine
The POpulists Are the Only Ones
Feared by PlutOcracy.
The American:

The American:
On Tuesday of last week Georgia held
elections for the choice Of a governor
and full state ticket, the contest being
between the Democrats, who had select
ed Col. Allen D. Chandler as their candi-
date for governor, and the Pop,llists who
had chosen James r. Hogan as their
standard bearer. The Democratic. Re-
publican and negro vote being thrown for
Col. Chandler, the Popuist ticket went
down to defeat under a Democratic ma
jority, reported at $4,000 OF the election
Gen. Phillips, of Marietta, who made an
active canvass of the mountain part of
the state for the Populist ticket, writes
that all signs go to prove that there
was coalition between the Republican
and Democratic parties to defeat the
POpulists in the interest of the single
gold standard, of the railroads. national
banks. corporations, monopolies, and to
defeat the initiative and referendum and
ulIcCl leSlSldtlOu. Inc Victory over the
Populists is due to the Republicans as
much as the Democrats. The money pow
err controlling both demanded the defeat
of the Populists. Either of the old parties
was acceptable to the money holders,
banks. corporations, monopolists and
speculative cliques. The party which
stood for justice and fair dealing to the
producing classes and wage earners was
regarded as a common enemy
"The Democrats and Republicans car
ried Georgia by solid negro vote, not
withstanding the scare crow of negro
domination"
Hundreds of Democrats and Populists,
disguised with the use of whisky and
money to carry elections, stayed away
from the polls, depressed and discour-
aged, and large numbers of Populists
were afraid to vote-afraid of cred
itors" AS one farmer said to Gen. Phil
lips: 1--WE are all with you at heart, but
our cotton at five cents will yield us
nothing-won't pay out: and if we vote
the Populist ticket our creditors will
