More Of Hanley.


To the Editor Of the Representative:
i send you by today's mail the Chicago
Chronicle. containing letter from me
on the ship subsidy bill.
The Chronicle declined to publish the
following part of my letter, which I
hope you will publish in your paper
The following is the part refer to:
The writer of this happened to be in
Washington some time since and saw
and heard mouthy ignoramus by the
name of John Hanley, of ST. Paul, Mimi,
advocating this infamous ship subsidy
bill.
He claimed to represent a half-dozen
different agricultural organizations
From the mans actions 1 concluded he
was fraud, simply hireling. To sat
isfy myself wrote dozen letters to as
many honorable men in Minnesota. He
Is brawling, played-out, would-be poll
t!cian. He succeeded in fastening him
self on the State Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union as secretary. No
sooner had he gotten into that position
than he commenced writing letters to
nearly every farmer in Minnesota, re-
questing them to send their names to
him and he would present them to the
governor to be appointed to important
positions in the state, but made it a
condition that each applicant should ac-
hic WI -
all over the state as "One Dollar Han
ley"
Hon. l.. G. Long, of Magnolia, Minn.,
was president at the time of the Farm
turer
AS soon as they discovered Hanley' s
corrupt actions, both these gentlemen
resigned in disgust.
The writer has written to P H. Ra-
hilly, of Lake City, the present presi-
dent of the Farmers Alliance of Mime.
sofa, in relation to this Hanley, but he
seems to make no reply
Hanley has poor, ignorant Irishman,
Michael Moran, of Graceville, Mimi, also
helping him do his dirty work He calls
Moran Judge" Moran calls Hanley
Honorable" SO, you see, honors are
easy. In my judgment the farmers of
Minnesota should call meeting and ex-
pei their hireling scum from their midst
for the honor of the agriculturalists of
that great state.
Who is furnishing these two men
thousands of dollars travelling to Wash
ington and Europe the past year? II
some railroad magnate is furnishing the
cash to these two brainless simpletons
and had the interest of the American
agriculturists at heart, why did he not
send an intelligent, practical farmer to
Washington to present the case before
the committee? The writer is credibly
informed by six leading farmers of Min
nesOta that these two men, Hanley and
Moran, never were appointed by any
any other state in the United States, to
represent agricultural interests in Wash
ington Or any European country.
The facts are: Hanley and Moran
called three or four of their chums to-
gether in secret conclave and had them
selves appointed.
call on the president of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union of Min
nesota, Mr.. Rahilly, who, l am in
formed, is the largest farmer in the
state, to inform the public on this sub
ject. l challenge him to contradict the
above statements. For heavens sake,
let agricultural interests be represented
by intelligent farmers and not by frauds.
The agriculturists of Minnesota owe
to farmers of the United States, as a
matter of justice to them, to expose this
man Hanley and his tool, Moran.
l see by the Representative that Han
ley has sent Moran to President McKin-
ley to have him appoint Hanley COM
missioner of agriculture.
May God deliver us from fools.
