THE WRATH OF DONNELLY.
How the Sage Poamed and BoastedBefore
Election.
Some Characteristic Bemarks From the
Most Peculiar Curiosity in modern
politics.
Whether Donnelly be ever so vacillat
ing or not, his remarks on the stump are
always interesting. In St. Paul Saturday
night he spoke to a large audience and
the account of his address in the Pioneer
Press is decidedly entertaining even after
election. It was as follows:
In spite of the great amount of cam
paigning he has done and the fearful load
that must, be on his conscience, Ignatius
Donnelly bobbed up at Market hall last
night quite as chubby as ever and even
claiming that he had gained two pounds
since the campaign began. But however
well it has fared with Mr. Donnelly so far
as physical appearance goes, mentally he
showed himself troubled while his nerves
seemed on a rasping edge. This led to
such an outburst of passion as was never
witnessed on a political platform. He was
livid with anger for a time, and a torrent
of vindictive sentences poured from his
lips until the man seemed beside himself.
He had a big audience. There were a
number of interruptions in the way of
questions which Mr. Donnelly always an
swered, and with his quick wit turned to
his own account. He had told how he
would have pinned Mr. Nelson to the wall
like a cockchafer if the Republican met
him in debate, and was enlarging on his
own trueness to the people when some
one over at the left asked:
"How about the $1 damages to the
Pioneer Press?"
The question was repeated twice be
fore Mr. Donnelly seemed to understand.
Then he thundered back:
"That dollar did not represent the value
of my reputation, but the amount of in
jury which the Pioneer Press could in
flict upon any man's character."
The sublime self-assurance and the su
preme egotism shown in the reply stirred
the audience, and while they cheered, Mr.
Donnelly gathered all his forces and, with
quiet restored, opened a tirade that was
terrible in its passion that he made no at
tempt to conceal. There were cries of
"Put him out" against the man who
made the interruption, but Mr. Donnelly
quieted these.
"I am able to take care of myself with
out clubbing any one," he said, and then
he was given another breathing spell. He
didn't want praise of the Pioneer Press,
he declared. It had buried every man it
had ever advocated, and had cast the
mantle of suspicion on the whole Repub
lican party. In all his public life in the
legislature for twenty-two years the in
famous sheet had never been able to put
its clasp on a single fact to put before a
jury. It went further back than twenty
two years, and attempted to prove a fact
by the testimony of "Bill" King.
*He is one of the worst men God ever
permitted to be made," foamed Donnelly,
"and I shan't take it upon myself to say
that God made him. He is a man who was
indicted for perjury in Washington and
had to fly to Canada to escape arrest-and
going back tweuty-two years the Pioneer
Press tried to fasten something on|me by
the lips of that scoundrel. Yet here
comes a man who wants to stand by him.
I don't know who he is—but no one but
a scoundrel would insult a man who is
addressing this audience."
Then the Populist switched back to
his old refrain and declared the two great
parties the right and left arms of pluto
cracy, and he advised them to get married.
Then came a change in the tune. The
state committee of the People's party, he
said, was dead broke. It would be easy
enough to get $10,000 from Jim Hill if
he (Donnelly) would agree not to trouble
him or his interests if elected governor.
But Mr. Donnelly held himself up as too
pure to be bought. In ell his legislative
experience he never had been.
"As long as I'm true to you people,"
he said, "the dally papers will continue
to abuse me. When they stop and begin
to praise me—then look •out."
Both the amendments he wanted voted/
down, else the people would be brought
to the same condition of those of Europe,
where there was no legislature. It was
not throwing away a vote when it was
cast for Ignatius Donnelly, he argued
Infinite liars would make it so men
like Bob Jamison, for whom the earth
trembled when he walked.
"He has the impudence "to say that I
will get 35,000 votes this state," said
Mr. Donnelly. "Why, my friends, I will
-git 109.000 votes on Tuesday next. I
have made eighty-five speeches in this
campaign and have three more to make.
I have made 140 speeches this year and
have written a book^And I weigh two
pounds more than when the campaign
begun. I tell you that I have been all
over the state, and the farmers every
where are with this movement. Mr. Mar
tin tells me that I will have 13,000 votes
in Minneapolis, and I expect 10,600 in
St. Paul. When the returns come in next
Tuesday, the editors of the old party
papers will be sitting in their sanctums
with their eyes hanging out on their
cheeks." f4%:^ *.£
Then he enlarged on the three funda
mental principles of his party, as he
looked at it-"wealth belongs to him that
creates it," "every dollar taken from in
dustry without its equivalent is robbery"
and "if any man will not work neither
shall he eat." £The stereotyped* wail
against the n, ironaires followed, and
the familiar picture of the oppressed
miner was helu Up. Of the 40,00,000
farmers in the liuted States more than
1,000,000 were tenants was stated as a
fact for an argument of the awful fate to
which the farmers were coming, but there
was nothing new in the calamity wail.
James J. Hill was again tackled as the
man responsible for the nomination of
Knute Nel8on,although eight years ago he
had given $25,000 to secure the election
of Cleveland. Lawler was also declared
a nominee of Hill, while Hill, in Mr.
Donnelly's opinion, was the longest
headed man in America, He had rather
see a bull among his bric-a-brac than to
see Donnelly in the governor's chair. So
he must appeal to sentiment, and, hang
ing Nelson before the Scandinavians, he
said: "Smell that, and follow right back
into the Republican bullyard." And Mr.
Hill hung up Lawler before the Irish
and said "Smell that, and follow back
into the Democratic bullyard." And
then he remarked "Fight it out between
you." The Republican aristocrats who
could not vote for Nelson could vote for
Lawler.
"Who is Lawler," he asked, and an
swered it by saying an able man and
good lawyer, perhaps, but his father had
been vice president of the Milwaukee
road and left two or three million dol
lars when he died, and had owned the
bridge at La Crosse. Mr. Lawler was 1
therefore inextricably connected with
railway corporations.
The Alliance had been fighting the so
called wheat ring for years. Last year
there was an investigation, but the Globe
laughed at and made fun of it, and every
Democrat on the committee voted for a
whitewashing. Yet this fall the Globe
came out and flooded the state with cir
culars while the entire Democratic party
filled the air with cries of robbery. It was
pretty late in the day. The pretensions
of the Democrats were a sham and Mr.
Donnelly, of course, urged support of the
People's party.
"I am perfectly confident that I will
be elected governor next Tuesday," he
said, "but if I am to right these wronsrs
you must give me a legislature that will
stand by me and an attorney who will
prosecute. I will first arrest Jim Hill.
And when I have him and the Washburns
and the Pillsburys in Stillwater I will
take you down there and show them to
you looking out from behind the bars.
After the first Tuesday in January I in
vite you to call and see me at the capi
tol."
We have it from ah Indiana delegate
to the national Republican convention
that Judge Gresham had consented to ac
cept the second place on the ticket if
Blaine was nominated for president. Not
succeeding in this he came out for Cleve
Ind on accoun t, as he says, of the Mc
Kinley bill. Such hypocrisy.
There are people in this city who hold
letters written by Judge Rea since the
passage of the McKinley bill in which he
asks for their support in seeming govern
ment office. These are facts and we
would like to known now if there wasn't
more soreheadedness in Judge Rea's flop
than principle. The same can be said of
nearly every other well-know man who
has become a Democrat within a year.
Prof. McCleary tells a good story as
being illustrative of the useless efforts of
the People's Party in a presidential elec
tion. A murderer was being tried in
Mexico, he says, by a judge who was in
the habit of drinking a good deal of
whiskey, v, yfWhen the prisoner was
brought into court therefore, the judge
handled the case as best suited his fancy.
Turning to the culprit he said: I is
gloomy to-day Sanmiquel the sun is
hidden by clouds and an air of dreariness
has settled upon the world^gThere is no
joy among men. But Sanmiquel, you
must remember that from behind the
clouds,a?sfthe sun will some day
come forth the gloom will disappear
the snow will melt upon the mountain
tops and little rills will glide down the
hillsides to join the great deep the ver
dure will come forth the leaves will ap- If
pear on the trees the birds will sing
merrily and there will be rejoicing
among all men. But, Sanmiquel, you I
won't be in it,- »$?ir$^ I
