The republican territorial conven-
ton held in Yankton last week was
perhaps the most harmonious re-
publican convention ever held in
the territory, and the result Of its
action more in accord with the will
of the people than any conven-
ton in the history Of Dakota. The
people were determined to return
Judge Clifford to congress and the
graceful submission Of the followers
of other candidates in the conven-
ton TO the so clearly expressed wish
es of the majority was commenda-
bic. The good feeling and harmony
which prevailed between the two
sections Of North and South Dakota
at the close Of the convention was
refreshing, and makes us feel, as a
true South Dakotaian, like throt-
Ting any feelings of bitterness
against our northern brethren, that
might be lurking within us, for
things they have done in the past.
Gen. Harrison Allen, the candidate
presented by North Dakota, is on
honorable gentleman. with noble
war record, and is as well qualified
to fill the Office Of delegate to con-
gress as any man within our Dor
ae.s. aut Judge Clifford hos served
us faithfully and well for the past
two years, and it is proper and right
that we should return him to con-
gress. The Gen. saw this feeling OF
the people cropping out when he
came down to Yankton, and he says
to his supporters, ''Let us go in and
make this thing unanimous" and
no sooner said than done, and Judge
Clifford stands to-day as the unani.
nous choice Of the republicans Of
all Dakota, and his election is abso.
lutely certain.

the young men there knew nothing
Of Sunday or the house Of God.
That the saloons were open and run
all day on the Sabbath. She spoke
of her work in Crook City, how in
terested the young men and miners
were; some of them said that they
had been there s years and had not
had sunday; they knew nothing Of
home other than a boarding house.
She told how respectfully they
treated her, how kindly they well
coined her and how much they
needed a woman missionary, espec-
tally an elderly woman. She said
that there was great increase in
the number of unions in the terrific
ry and more interest in temperance.

tai receipts for the year to De s493,

The report of the recording secretary
showed the whole number d unions
in the territory to be about 100, the
whole number of members 1900 and

said that she had just come from the
Atlantic coast and that she saw 81 gns

cause all along the route. She gave

that we ought to touch people S

speaking Of the platform adopted at
the republican convention at Yank-
ton last week says: 1.-THE following
plank was finally adopted after con-
siderable discussion without a call
Of the counties: Then it gives the
plank in relation to the liquor traf-
flo. You are off your base, Bro.
Chaffes. There was not a single
OBJECTION made to this plank, and
there was no discussion whatever
upon it. What is your object in
trying to make it appear that tie
convention was divided or wrought
up over this question?

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
A Trip TO Aberdeen.

Being appointed by the w. G. T..
U. to attend the territorial conven-
ton at Aberdeen and take notes on
the same, we thought that few
items might not be uninteresting to
the readers of the COURIER. We
left Elk Point on Tuesday mornings
train, Sept. 14th. Everything here
in the tree and shrub line was cloth
ed with the verdure of summer.
After passing Canton the country
became very dry and dusty and the
grass brown. The drouth must
have been much worse here than il,
Union county. The country beyond
Mitchell looks as if it were splen-
did farming country, being level
prairie, occasionally rolling. We
rode all day and at $50 in the ev-
ening the bright electric lights of
Aberdeen appeared to our view.
This city is FIVE years old, and has
population of twenty-five hun.
dred. There was carload of ladies
and as we poured out of the car, a
gentleman near by said, what can
it mean?" We were met by a dele
CATION of ladies and were taken in
the bus to certain block in the city
where we waited some little time to
be assigned homes for our stay. 1t
was moonlight evening, and being
the mild September, we did not suf-
fer any inconvenience, and in a lit
tie longer space of time than it takes
to tell it, were all provided for. We
were taken to the house of Mrs.
Munger where we appeased our
hunger, and were entertained most
Hospitality during our sojourn in the
city. At the convention the speech
Of welcome to Aberdeen was to have
been given by Mrs. Prof. Hood, but
she being absent by sickness, her
place was filled by Rev. e. NJ. Bliss.
He welcomed lis to Aberdeen in a
cordial manner, said our work was
one Of the most important to be
done. He spoke Of the object of
our coming together compared to
the numerous other conventions
which have met there, that we were
not political body, met for politi-
cal purposes, not for personal emol-
ument, but in the grand work of ref
ormation.
Prof. Cornwall, of Ordway, was
next called. He gave us a hearty
welcome and a good, sound talk on
prohibition. He said that the per.
iod had come in the worlds history
to settle this moral question; that if
it were let pass now, the opportuni-
ty might not come again in ages.
He said that the W. C. T. U. was a
band Of gold reaching round the ma
ton.
The response by the president,
Mrs. Barker, was able and eloquent,
being a review of her years work.
She also gave an account Of her trip
to the Black Hills. She organized
eight unions while there with
