From Harpcr's Magazine. I

MIR. c. was pastor of Baptist
church IN certain town in one of the
western states. He had been on very
bad terms with his flock for some time.
They abused him whenever they could
find occasion, aud he reciprocated with
equal readiness Before his contract
with the parish expired, he received the
appointment of chaplain at the state
prison. Elated Mt this lucky opportuni-
ty of getting rid of him, the congrega-
ton came in full numbers to hear his
farewell sermon, perhaps less TO comph-

still greater their anger, when tho rev.

Dunnell. Ward, or a Democrat.

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT Now is the time
for every thinking voter TO decide the
question "Who shall it be-" Any one
who has kept watch Of Ward can well
see, 'ere this, that with him party has no
meaning; he is fast drifting into the Dem
ocratic line. Whoever will read his ar
ticle in the Minnesota Radical of Sept.
9Th, will get key to his whole action,
namely: To beat Dunnell, even if it
elects Democrat. He says: If the Re-
publican party has come to this Chat it
must support Ounnell or elect Demo-
craft, then cursed be the party forever, and
all its frateranai adherents." And again,
speaking Of an article written for the Pr.
oneer Press, he says: "Cursed be party,
aud especially cursed, which has in it.
such advisers as the writer Of the article
referred to-" And again: IF the Repub-
lican party is to be engineered on such
principles as these, then 1t does not de.
serve the continued support of any one.
Better elect Democrat and done with it,"
There can be no doubt that Page, Ward,
s. Co. would rather see Democrat elected
than not AS 1t now stands, "rule or
RUM is their motto. What cares Page
for the Republican party? When he and
nearly all the bogus delegates from
Mower have been working to overthrow
it for years. By what right do they pre-.
sumo to call themselves Republicans, and
| even claim voice in such convention !
There is one other view of this Waseca
matter to be looked at, viz: The princi-
pie Of being governed by the majority.
In 81 the minority said we will not sub.
NIT to the majority, and so brought Oh
our terrible war. "Rule or ruin" was
their motto, but all candid thinking and
honest minded men SAID there vas prin
ciple At stake, and fought 1t out on tina,
line to the bitter end and conquered. In
80, first at Mower and then again at Wa
SEGA, the minority said our watchword Is
"rule or ruin" If the majority presume
to nominate Mr.. Duunell, we will defea,
him, even if we have to defeat the party
MIR. Wards first letter to Dunnell showed
plainly how he felt although having nc
legal claim for the support Of the party
and no possible chance for an election
yet he says if Mr.. d. will promise to
withdraw from the canvass then he will,
but if he attempts to carry out the wishes
Of the majority of the party then he will
draw of votes enough to elect a Democrat
for he (Ward) is bound to rule or ruin"
The question for every Republican voter
to decide, is, shall submit to such kind
of leaders, men who have no sympathy OF
respect for the party. unless it bows to
their diction? Shall the minority, aided
by few sore.heads and greenbackers,
deliver the party over to the Democrats?
