An Old Scandal Ended.

Magnolia, Mimi, June %, 1885.
Editor Representative
Twice in my life it has been possible for
me to blast the reputation of men who had
terribly wronged me; but, believing that in
the great final day of reckoning the books
would be correctly balanced, 1 refrained
from doing so.
Being able to resist the temptation to
punish my enemies, certainly no one would
consider me so vile as to premeditately try
to ruin man who had never done me a
personal injury. And yet, Mr.. J. c.. Han
ley, secretary Of the Minnesota State r. A.
/. L, tells me that my letters, explain
ing my position in regard to certain res
olutions passed by the State Allinace, and
circulars relating thereto, have been used
as a basis by the daily papers of the Twin
Cities for an attack upon him, in which
he has been designated "swindler,"
criminal etc, and that it has injured him
financially and cast a. blot upon his repu-
tation.
AS l have not seen the articles in the
daily papers do not know upon what they
base their accusations.
But in order that Mr. Harley may be set
right before the public l make this explana-
ton.
l was not present when the resolutions
were passed by the Alliance, neither was
l present when the executive board met
after the Alliance adjourned. therefore,
when l received copies Of the resolutions
and circular l supposed that they were the
productions of Secretary Hanley and taken
in connection with the abuse heaped upon
me by certain newspapers, was inspired to
denOunce the whole business
But in a second letter I admitted that
l was convinced that the aforesaid docu-
ments were not the individual productions
of the secretary, and that he was simply
doing his duty as secretary of the Allinace,
and the executive board thereof And now.
after talking with the vice presidents of
the second and third districts l am more
firmly persuaded that I did Secretary
Hanley grievious wrong, as he was no
more responsible than those who voted for
the resolutions, or the executive board
which empowered him to issue the circular
Therefore. I retract anything which re-
fected upon the individual honesty in
tegrfty or veracity of Secretary Hanley,
either in published or printed CORES
pondence.
AS to the wisdom displayed by the ALI
ance l have nothing further to say

THE MISTAKE OF TEXAS.

Texas Populists are this year engaged
In most desperate struggle to redeem
their state from Democracy. They are
likely to succeed Elated with their
bright prospects of local success, large
number of Texas Populist papers have
become Indifferent to the fate of our
party from national standpoint. These
papers, together with Mr.. Tracy of the
Southern Mercury, have refused to en-
courage the Cincinnati convention of
Sept 5, and in some instances have op-
posed it. To our Southern brothers
taking this position we would suggest
that independent Populism in Texas
would be but mere side show if ma
tional Populism was allowed to die.

Insinuations That Jim Hill Is Fur
nishing Ringdars Campaign Fund.
Hon. H. e. Boen, ex-cOngressman. in
his last issue of the Fergus Falls Globe,
quotes as follows:
Fergus Falls Journal, for Tuesday July 3:
AS everyone knows, the reduction Of rail-
road rates is not a matte" considered by
congress. Each state attends to rates with
in it's borders, and Western Popuist,
alone in congress, camoring for lower rates
on wheat and coal would but excite the mer-
riment of Eastern Democrats and Republic
cans who own the railroad properties. The
railroad influences of this state know that
he would be as powerless in congress to
interfere with their existing rates as if he
was ION the ash heap with Roen and Lom-
men,. They worked the matter most in
gel,iously, and it not until their at
torneys were busy chipping in for the cam
paign fund fer him that Mr.. Ringdal fully
realized their urSelhShneSS IN helping raise
the big fund contributed to send him to
congress.
Whereupon Boen says, very sarcastic
cally:
Well. suppose the railroads Clipped in
part of Eingdal's campaign fund. Hadn
they right to do it?
Jim Hills man was here in 1896 and engi-
neered Lommens nomination, and Jim had
much right to chip in to RingdaPs fund.
Not that Jim feared Rngda.s freight rate
hobby, because he meant nothing serious
by it, as both Hill and Ringdal knew that
the courts would knock out any freight rate
law that would be favorable to the people,
but Ringdal like Lommen, WAS less cbjec-
tionable than straight Populi5t.
RingdaPS nomination was happy one.
No other man in the district coulI have
secured such a campaign fund rs was do
mated to him. and no other man could make
such a campaign as Ringda, can, nor meet
with little opposition from the "opposi-

To the few whom it may concern, let me
say, through your columns, that while

treason against their party and exceeded
the delegated authority of their constitu-

with the Democrats is the most likely way
to achieve their selfish purpose. Mad ambi-

to be named as candidates as to assist in
the upbuilding of a great party having for
it's object the introduction of reforms in
the American Industrial system. We want
changes In the method Of distributing and
absorbing the products of nature and
