higher reasons than those which influence
money seekers As proof Of this decla.a
ton, now aIfirm that the total amount
which | have ever received from the PEG

is patent: | never asked, directly or in
directly, for a single dime for my personal

Of preaching in Hon. d. T. Bramble's

that town When last there, the people
subscribed, as " Dakota says, Sll0 to-
ward the erection Of a Pres byterian church

matter has since rested. Not dollar was
ever collected, because it was not asked
for. At that time there was not Nom.
Der Of the Presbyterian church within %
miles of Yancton.
When the Fort Randall Express was
discontinued, my facilities for reaching
that town free Of charge, were entirely
cut off. Am reprehensible because
did not feel able to pay the mail stage six
dollars for each trip to and from Yancton?
1t is true that Capt J. b. S. Todd, with
his characteristic generosity, paid the
stage between four and five dollars, in
order to exempt me from the onerous
burden which would have otherwise been
devoved upon me. But. as gentleman,

=" Dakota that | shall never stop to ask
his permission TO write articles favorable
to any town which may visit. Who he
is, know not, neither am I anxious to
know. But | will say this When " Da-

crticise my ministerial appointments
Until then, hope he will remember that
