CONGRATULATIONS.

New York, Sept %, 1898.
Hon. lgnatius Donnelly:
Dear Sir-Enclosed you will please
find a postoffice order for fifty cents TO
continue my subscription for The Rep
resentative. 1 must express my pleas
ure respecting the course of this paper in
sticking so courageously to the middle
of the road policy, and hope that its edi-
tors will reap qualification for their la
Dor at on early day, bH seeing the Pop
ulist Party preserved and growing more
religiously practical in it's economies and
more efficient in it's demands for the
emancipation from industrial slavery Of
the harrassed and beggared wealth pro-
ducers of the country.
The middle of the road" wing OF the
Populist Party holds my sympathy. al
come up to my requirements for perman-
ency in a social and economic state.
intend to write speech on this sub
ject, shortly, and you shall have the
first copy issued from the press.
In conclusion, allow me to express to
you my sincere congratulation in respect
to the endorsation of your course and
policy as manifest by the late Cincinnati
convention, which honored itself by
making the pioneer economic teacher of
the great Northwest one OF its standard
bearers in the next presidential election.
Kindly permit me to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
N. CONNOR.

Fusion Fails in Douglas County.

Alexandria, Minn.-The Populist county
convention on Saturday was a hot number
and showed the party in Douglas county
to be badly divided. The officers of court
commissioner, judge of probate and sheriff
were left vacant. The scrap of the day was
over the Office of sheriff. A. w. DeFrate,
the present sheriff, has been elected for
years as an independent Democrat. He has
large following in both the Republican
and Populist parties and is always factor
in their conventions. He failed to dictate
his opponent In the last Republican conven-
tion and Lundgren, who came within 13
votes of beating him last time is his op-
ponent again. His Populist friends en-
deavored to nominate him Saturday, and
had 1t been left to the caucus delegates he
would have won. There were 35 delegates
named by caucuses and "a others were ad-
mitted by the convention. DeFrate got 35
votes on the informal ballot for indorso-
ment, but could not win on the formal, and
the place was left vacant. When his popu-
lism was questioned, delegate wanted to
know what John Linds politics was, ind
declared that Lind was not and never had
been Populist and did not believe in any
Of the Popuiist principles. DR.. Doyd, gold

Another Way Of RObbing the Farmer.
During the past few weeks an indig-
nant cry has gone up from the farmers
of the Northwest at the outrageous man.
ner the state inspection department was
grading the present crop
In many sections it has been openly
charged that the inspection department
was in the pay of the elevator COM
bine." and wheat ring" and that they
were grading down the wheat of the
farmers of. the Northwest at least one
grade lower than was just Thus grad
ing No. northern No. and robbing the
farmers of to cents per bushel.
We have taken the matter up with the
railroad and warehouse commission in
securing an investigation of this whole
matter.
A call has been issued by the state
railroad and warehouse commissioners
to hold an investigation of the charges
against the state inspection department,
which is under their management and
control. The meeting will take place on
Sept. %, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon at
the rooms of the commission in the
Endicott block, St. Paul.
a large delegation of farmers from the
two Dakotas and Minnesota represent
ing the Farmers Alliance will be present
and present their grievance and furnish
proof Of the systematic robbery per-
petrated upon the farmers of the North
west.
The Minnesota Alliance will be repre-
6ented by such influential farmers as L.
c. Long, P. H. Rahilly, Eric Olson, Ig-
natius Donnelly Chas. H. Hopkins and
many others.
We have spent several days upon the
board of trade in Minneapolis and have
questioned the members of the board and
the commission men and grain buyers,
and in nearly every case they expressed
themselves as saying that 1.-The grading
of grain was a farce as now carried on
by the state grain inspection depart
ment." But when asked them to ap-
pear before the commission and report

that if they did this the "depa :ement"
would get even" with them in many
ways and they could not afford to jeop-
ardize their business by revealing the
condition of things as they really are.
The result of this investigation will
appear III our next issue.
One solution to this unjust discrimin-
alton of grades is that all grain weighing

other imperfections when it is so close

doubt, that he should give the benefit of
the doubt to the producer, or else es-

No that will split the difference of the
cents now existing between the grades
or else compel the millers and buyers to

wheat that is ION the line" between No.

POPULIST CHAOS.
Fusion Producing It's Legitimate Re-

The political situation in Otter Tail coun-
ty, as relates to the legislative and county
tickets grows more mixed every day.
What effect this will have on the state
ticket whole remains to be seer, but
just now it does not look as though it
would result in any injury to Republican
chances. There is one Independent candi-
date against the Republican nominee of
county attorney, and against every Popu
list or Democratic nominee there seems to
be two or three independent candidates
branching out from the main
Populistic stem. The Perham Bull
letin, the personal organ Of M.
j. DAILY, fusion candidate for senate,
seems to be boiling most of the fusion ticket,
and now comes the Fergus Globe with
declaration that it will not support Daily,
and calling upon some good farmer to
nOunce himself independent candi-
date. On the whole the Popullsts and Dem
Ocrats in that county seem to be split up
into SO many factions that there will hardly
be room for more than two three in any
enc faction. The Republicans have d
strong and popular legislative ticket. and
are getting together for united pull for the
whole state ticket as well-St. Paul Dis

the loss on the debenturesT ought not to be

Passing Of the Peoples Party.

Under the above caption the Chicago
Record of Sept Il takes the ground that
the Peoples Party Is going to pieces and
says: "Fusion is simply process where
by the younger organization is swallowed
up by the older" We have continually
warned our readers and friends from the
very first, that it would be the final result.
and urged them by our own position to
never countenance it in the least.
The Record further says:
1T must not be thought that the Peo-
pies Party movement has been failure
because the Populist organization is going
to pieces. Judged by the influence it has
exerted on political thought and action,
the Peoples party has been successful to
an extent that Few third party movements
can hope to be. The campaign Of 1896 was
fought on issues forced upon the attention
of the country by the Peoples Party, and
if the silver question shall recede from view
as the dominant political question other
features of the Omaha platform are likely
to prove dividing issues between the two
great parties. ."-Faribault Jeffersonian

day the governor bade goodbye to the
Populists and visited the Democratic state
convention. where. being accorded the
privilege OF the floor. he announced a de-

associate justice.
