man OF strong convictions as to
his duty, and never swerved from what
he thought was right even at the ex-
rense of losing prestige and financial
gain.-Renville ,Star-Farmer.
In the death of Ignatius Donnelly
the world of letters loses a good man.
Mr.. Donnelly made mistake when he
entered politics. He was not adapted
to that kind of work. His mind was
too broad and cultured to engage in
the work of petty wire pulling and Pc
culiar conniving of modern politi-
clans. Mr.. Donnelly was an earnest,
honest, conscientious wOrker.-Man-
Kato Journal.
Wherever placed he was q man of
mark, whose influence and genius was
felt He was an orator of exceptional
ability and studert and writer of
established reputation. - Willmar
Gazette.
He was rather a man of theory than
of prac5ice and though his books had
great sale he never managed to
make much money from them and died
poor man. He was one of those
men whose works are not fully appre-
| ciated until after his death.-New Lon
don Times.
Intellectually Mr.. Donnelly had
great strength and, but for his hatred
| of RIVALS and jealousies, could have
been an Irresistible National
Republican (Preston).
Mr.. Donnelly was man of rare in
tellectua'ity and perhaps more widely
| known than any other man in Mime
sofa. Personally Mr.. Donnelly was a
cultured, refined gentleman, of winning
disposition and will he remembered as
one OF the brightest intellects the state
produced.-St. Peter Free Press.
Without doubt Ignatius Donnelly
was one OF the greatest literary genii
the world has ever known. GA pro-
phet is not without honor save in his
own country" and so it was with Don
nelly. Politics was his undoing. The
memory of Donnelly the politician will
die, but that of Donnelly, the author,
will go down in history as one of the
most famous figures in literature. For
| Donnelly, the author, we weep.-Peo-
ple's Press, Crookston.
BOEN'S TRIBUTE TO DONNELLY
| OF the Twentieth century and at mid
night, at the end OF that day his earth
ly career ended.
1gnatius Donnelly was mental me-
teOr, who, as he swept over the INTEL
lectual heavens, held the attention of
all observers. .......--.
He was the brightest man in the
brightest race on earth.
RI ho ~
erage man Donnelly had many faults:
according to mis- own ideas of it he
had few, if any.
Early in his political career he OBJ
jected strongly to the prevalent plum
dering OF the national treasury, and
that brought down upon him the united
opposition of the politicians. From
that time on his ife's work was con-
tinuous battle against official corrup-
ton of all kinds.
In 1888 Donuelly accepted the Union
Labor Party's nomin atiOn for govern
or. Soon after that he stumped the
state for William A. Merriam for gov
ernor, and that sealed his political
fate.
Now that Donnelly is dead the peo-
pie look justly upon him as the most
conspicuous man the state ever had.
And those who were so fortunate as to
know him intimately will never forget
the kindly nature and the matchless
ability of Ignatius Donnelly Fergus
Globe.
His fame will rest upon his books,
and these are characteristic of the man
liable, iconoclastic and more or less
absurd. Perhaps the unborn SONS will
discover in him prophet little under
stood by his generation, and will
place the wreath of fame upon his
memory. Who knows? To his clio.
quence, his wit, his genial qualities
his contemporaries will gladly pay
tribute, while ]amenting hat his other
qualities seemingly robbed him of the
success that should have been his due
st. Cloud Journal-Press.
He was one of the greatest men o.
his time, and his death has caused q
vacancy that cannot be filed, and will
be universally regretted.-st. Pau
Broad AK.
It was not Ignatius Donnelly, lect
in this state. 1t was only Ignatius
Donnelly, politician, AGAR at whom
shafts of criticism have been aimed
But take him all in all, he was a won
ierful man, and one the like of whom
the state will not again see.-Bens"r
Monitor.
His death and that of Senator Davis
removes two of the most distinguished
men of our state within the brief peri
cd of few weeks. The name of Igna'
titus Donnelly was synonymous with
that of the state of Minnesota-in fac
he was in many places better known
than is our beloved North Star state
