cd the idea of cowardicc OF of dishonesty.
Again the bands united in a piece of
music.
After which
MR.. A. W. KIABALL
said: 1t was an occasion OF deep solem.
nifty. I heard most of Pages Friday
speech. Whom did he mean "persecu.
tors" and "conspirators He meant
those who held meetings to help on his
impeachment. He calls an officer viii
lain, and calls every man who voted for
him the same. 1t was promised that he
would be more decent, but his speech had
disappointed all hopes of that, being more
violent than ever. His words were bad
enough, but his insane and frenzied man
ner worse. Nothing proven against
single county official, and the same ones
returned by overwhelming majorities
right IN the face Of charges of robbery!
What should we do? Circumstances
would determine. But lie proposed to
show that he was ready for anything, and
wasn't coward.
Mayor Van Vaikenburgh,.. ION behalf of
MIR. INGMUNDsON,
who on account of i'll health, could moi
speak, said that some one had started the
report that he had gone to Dakota TO
locate, in fear of approaching indictments.
Mr.. 1ngmundson wished it said, that lie
proposed to stay here until each and every
charge was fully disproven. He shirked
no investigation, and feared no man,
trusting in the integrity of bis heart for
his defense.
| The moderator then SAID it was late,
and though he was willing to remain
until the next evening, if necessary, yet
there were ladies and children there who
desired to 60, but whose interest in the
BLESSED LOVE FEAST
kept them there, and further limited that
it was too bright night for healthy
"conspirator" work.
A motion was carried that the modera-
tor appoint a committee of three from
each town to generally supervise the
work, and after
THREE CHEERS FOR THE BANDS,
and return cheer for our May or, who
made so efficient moderator, the meeting
broke up.
The mayor gave notice that any who
were from a distance, and were unprovi.
1od will, 1oIr;nro vo,,1l )o ooro.1 for ;f
they would remain moment and home
we went.
Gentlemen, such was the
! MONDAY NIGHT RECEPTION,
and it was q noticeable fact, that so many
of our first ladies manifested their intense
interest throughout the entire evening
And such good order observed by so
large crowd, proves that the. hummer
element so often manifested in exciting
meetings., was entirely absent or overcome
by 2rayerful interest in the success OF
the meeting. There was but little lcvity
but all was seriousness.
What effect it will have, time alone can
tell. As we said before. any hut mad
man would learn wisdom from the past
events. But no man can predicate Judge
Pages action. It may however teach
his more rational supporters, that thu
people of Austin are to have peace at any
price, and they may be able to check him
before it proceeds to extremes. We KNOW
of his losing several staunch friends by
his late action, and we understand tina
MIR. Harlan W. Page did not approve OF
and would not attend his late reception
Mr.. Page was at the church sociable til,
entire evening. Mr. Shaw, We are told
remained in his own yard, and quite luke
warm in his endorsement. Since which
time Sherman Page has been appropri
ately cool towards them. We sincerel,
hope these reports may be true, for tn
peace Of our dear city.
