Republican voters in Port Emma Wright Riverdale Oakes Norway Bare Creek Jim River Valley and other townships hold caucuses on Thursday July 19 at 8 p m or 7 p m to elect delegates to Ellendale county convention July 21 1894. Gorder Nichols M Anderson and B H Stevens chair committees. Also Populist party gains new members and Emma Bates named as candidate for State Superintendent.
Ri G Harr of the New York Tribune told the Minnesota Republican State committee that the Populist party is like a pack of coyotes barking on a hillside. He said two can sound like 40 to mislead, referencing Oregon’s late election where the coyotes were counted and the barks were ignored, producing an unexpected result for the Populists.
The piece contrasts pretended wealth with a crime label on prosperity and lauds the Oakes driven Populist delegation at the Saturday convention. It notes editor Weston’s grievance over Chicago strike car fire counts and outlines wages offered to Pullman workers, including ten cents an hour for girls and $1.30 to common laborers, higher rates for painters and blacksmiths.
Editor Weston began a political career last week by manipulating events to betray two close allies, one who backed his party and a key financial supporter. He then secured a legislature nomination that had been a joke for some time, and distant rumblings suggest consequences may follow.
The speaker condemns a party decision to replace veteran organizer Ellis with a lesser candidate, calling Ellis experienced and well qualified for his legislator role. The critique targets Walker for backing the ticket and funding the campaign, asserting the change shows small minded politics and questions Weston's or Brainard’s motives.
Eugene V. Debs spoke calmly in Chicago on Wednesday saying injunctions against union officers are irrelevant to him. He claimed no laws were violated and dismissed Grand Jury indictments as unimportant, hinting at broader resistance to authorities.
