nepin county Populists have redeemed
themselves from their action in the flu
sion state convention of June 18th.
Democrats and fusionists may pack our
caucusses and conventions, but they
cannot control the Populist vote. The
Populists of Hennepin county will give
their solid vote to our independent state
ticket, headed by L. G. Long. The
same state of affairs exists in city and
county politics. Democrats may pack
our county convention July 13, but i:
they do the Populists will adjourn and
proceed to business on the following
day. 1t may as we'll be understood
first as last that Populists cannot be
sold and turned over by any politician.

on every hand that the issues which were at

be supplanted by entering different PROPOSE

NININGER'S SOCIAL EVENT.
Dakota County Again Pays Respect to

On Wednesday evening of last week
the Nininger home Of our editor-in-
chief was thrown open to the public on
the occasion Of a church social under
the auspices Of the Methodist church CT
Hastings.
From 8 o'clock until nearly midnight
the spacious house and grounds were
thronged with people from all parts Of
Dakota county, from ST. Paul, Mime
apolis and other parts Of the state to
the number Of nearly 500 guests.
For time Hastings must have
seemed a deserted village" while
her citizens by boat, by carriage and by
wheel FASTENED to Nininger to pay
homage to their most talented and
respected citizen. People of Hastings
declare it the bright star in the galaxy
of social events in Dakota county dur
ing period of Is years.
The program arranged by the ladies'

talnment was an unusually attra ctiye
one. Music, both vocal and instrument
tai, Rotations, speeches, witty anec-
dote, cake and ice cream all came in for
their due and proportionate share of
the appreciation Of the immense throng,
The intellectual menu was served
in strictly up-to-date style, not a dull
and uninteresting number upon the
program, and several were perform

Among those numbers that received
the most hearty applause were a poem

Harrington feelingly rendered: a reci-

MORE ANTI-BRHANISM.

WASHINGTON d. C., June 25.-Repre-
sentative Livingston of Georgia, one of the
aolest Democrats in congress, has created
something of sensation by declaring in ia
Vor OF the nomination of Grover Cleveland
as the Democratic candidate for president
IN 100 Judge Livingston believes that the
imperial policy or. system of colonization
will be adopted by the Republican party
and made the chief issue in the presidential
campaign two years hence.
He predicts that the Democrats will Bit
terly antagonize such policy, and that, in
looking about for a leader, their eyes will
naturally fall upon eX-President Cleveland.
The Georgian takes The position that if sill
yer could be the issue, Bryan would be the
ideal candidate. but if, now appears GER
tain, the contest is to turn upon thte ques-
ton OF territorial expansion and a colonial
system. then the Democracy will find its
greatest and surest leader in Mr.. Cleveland.
1t is an open secret that the Democrats in
congress have been dong great deal of
hard thinking during the past two mont MS.
They realize that the war with Spain has
produced astonishing changes In the field OF
politics. They are not sure whether these

resolution empowered the state central
committee to fill all vacancies on such
committees, and this committee will
declare vacant any place on such COM

crowds. The successful reform move

Pennsylvania Democrats met on Wednes-

behalf of the Peoples Party ticket.
