dolph's address there, and that receiving
their account of it on their return, the
Association here had .rnestly solicited
him, on Its own behalf and that of the
community, to repeat it here. He then
introduced Bishop Randolph.
Bishop Randolph in opening, said he had
been struck by DR.. McBryde's idea that
the 7. M. G. Association was the field on
which was being rapidly illustrated that
which Christ had prayed for, the Unity of
those who professed his name, Of what.
ever denomination they might be-. It was
also true, that the Association was in itself
an expression of the unity of the Christian
churches, that sort of unity which not
only bound them together in purpose and
spirit, but melted each to greater WORK.
He then delivered his address on the
Bible, which is one of such power and
beauty that none who heard it felt sur.
prised at the enthusiasm with which it
was spoken off by this Association dele
gates who returned from Petersburg, The
Bishop has one of the most musical of
voices, an effective and persuasive deliv
! cry. and magnetic earnestness which soon
takes hold OF an audience. And withaI the
| whole is pervaded by dignity of great
sweetness that adds to the making Of what
| might be called perfect pulpit orator,
,, After the first few sentences of the address.
there settled upon the audience motion
less silence which was not changed until
the last word had b5en uttered.
In concluding it, he addressed some very
practical remarks to the members of the
Association as to their relations to the
world and its affairs. Their higher relation
to its affairs was to make them purer. He
said he had no respect for the msn who
said they took no interest in politics. AS

What Mr.. Horn Thinks.

Hon. r. G. Horr, of Michigan. who
made Republican speeches in Minneso-
Ia early in the campaign, has written a
letter to President Byrnes, of the Re-
publican League, which will be of spec
ial interest to the Republicans of state
who owe so much to him for the practi-
cal way in which he presented the great
issue of the hour among them. He has
evidently been hard at work since he
went East, for he says he has spoken
six times in Wisconsin, ten times in
Maine, three times in Connecticut, four
times in New Jersey, nine times in New
York, ten times in Michigan, twice in
Indiana, since he left Minnesota, and is
to speak several times more to the
Hoosiers. Mr.. Horr's opportunities for
observation, 1t will be noted, have been
pretty COED, and he ought to be as well
informed on the outlook as anybody,
and better than an ordinary observer,
as he is an experienced politician. In
this private letter to Mr.. Byrnes, not in
tended for the public, but meant to be
rather an estimate which is approved
by his best judgment and offered as
something with which to compare the
actual results, he predicts that Harrison
and Morton will carry every Northern
state. He estimates Harrison's MAORI
~ over Cleveland in Indiana at 10000,
in Michigan at 1900, in Wisconsin at
%, 600, in Connecticut at 5000, and in
New York at 10000. New Jersey he re-
CARDS as about even, with good chances
for a small Republican majority. Mr..
Horr's opinion is just as good as any
body's at this stage of the campaign and
a little better. Moreover it is in har-
mony with all the indications.-JOurndl.

A METHODIST MINISTER TALKS
TRUTHS.

The Rev. f. Z. Lathrop, one of the
ablest, best known, and most respected
Of the Methodist ministers of Minnesota,
attended the annual conference of that
denomination recently held in Winona,
and after going to his home in Worth
ington wrote as follows:
Some Of our third party friends in the Meth
81t 2SfesS si calls per-
niciOus activity" They held mass meeting
sion of the conference, in the interest of the
third party, which was addressed by three
ministers-members OF the conference.-the
which were purely and simply partisan
speeches intended to promote the interest Of
the third party. cannot say 10 promote the
interests Of Fiske and Brooks and Hugh Har-
rison, because in their widest dreams they did
not look for any such result. Now suppose
the tables were turned and Republican mass
meeting was held, or Democratic meeting,
TO be addressed by members of the confer
ence. Whew! but wouldn't there be a howl 2
Yet why not IL one party may hold meet
ing. why not another party This is the first
time such an unseemly thing ever occurred
among our Methodist brethren. and shows how
are like the Mormons in Illinois when they
first settled there. They said: 1.-The earth is
the Lords. and therefore belongs 10 the peo-
the earth belongs to us" So they took what
they wanted-or could lay their hands upon
and the people drove them out. A little good
common sense into these third party people
would do them good, provided they could md
room for II and could use IL, which i very
much doubt. When ministers Of the Gospel
depart from their legitimate work to run pO-
litical parties they never fail TO show what
bunglers they are In such things. IL is a good
motto: shoemaker. stick 10 your last" Pol
itics has no place in the church.
Mr.. Lathrop is right-pre-eminently
right, says the Winona Republican. The
third party partisan is deserving of no
more consideration or respect than the
first or second or twentieth party parti-
san, and the minister of the Gospel who
publicly engages in the advocacy of the
election of Gen. Fiske, or the narrow
minded Rebel Brooks, or the shrewd
business advertiser, Hugh Harrison,
simply prostitutes his sacred calling to
an unnatural use, and reduces himself
to the level of any other active political
partisan. The Methodist brethren
whom may God ever love-would do
well to temper their fiery zeal in the
prohibition cause with that sound dis
cretion which is the essence of temper
snce in all things.

The wall is going up that the Democ-
racy in this state have no funds at their
hand to pay campaign expenses. This
will do to tell the marines. 1t may be
true that Mr.. Wilson has not been en-
trusted with the DOODLE" and it GER
tainly does look as though the "intellec-
tual' idea had been abandoned so far as
speech making is concerned. But if
that is true, it is only done that more
money may be saved for corruption pur-
poses in the election. There is no
doubt that the political bosses in this
state who are in close connection with
the Cleveland regime will be supplied
with plentiful amount of money when
the time comes for its use. The Repub-
licans should not be deceived into the
idea that the opposition has given up
all idea of success, but should remem-
Der that a few electoral votes from any
Northern state will come into great SER
vice for Cleveland, especially as his
hopes of carrying New York seem to be
growing slim. Ifany possible chance
can be seen to secure Minnesota's vote
it may be understood that all the cor
ruption and official power will be used
TO that end. 1t will not do for Republi-
cans to set idly by with the idea that
the state will 20 Republican anyway. 1t
probably will, but not if the Democracy
can help it. 1t is the duty of every Re-
publican to be prepared to vote the
straight ticket clear through and see that
every voter of the party does the same.

THE Winona Herald says the greatest
disappointment of the campaign is Mr.
Blaine" We have no doubt the rest Of
the Democrats agree with the Herald
They thought when he refused to run
for president that he was weary of being
lied about and abused, and would cease
to trouble them, but here he is as usual
in the thickest of the battle dealing
blows with his old time vigor. There's
no doubt it is all great disappointment
to the Herald and its friends. We sup
pose even the opportunity of calling
Mr.. Blaine such an elegant name as
"the .attooed Annanias" isn't much com.
fort to the disappointed editor.

THE New York Herald has embarked
upon another journalistic freak. Hence
forth the words reporter" and CORES
pendent will not be used by its writers,
and instead thereof the pronoun "I'
will be used in all its reports local and
otherwise. The Herald must present a
curious sight with the profusion of az, "
my" and mine" personalities which
must necessarily occur. The expert
ment is doubtful one. To be sure the
identity of the poor reporter and other
newspaper workers is wrongfully des-
troyed by the old custom, and much
merit kept from its proper resting
place, but the plan of the Herald will
hardly be as popular or practical as one
which would allow the writer TO sign
his name or initials to his productions.

ELECTION LAW.

The new election law. as applied TO
the country. differs little from the oid
law. However, few points taken rom
II will be of value TO many oil our reau-
ers who live In the different townships.
The township supervisors OF each
township are judges OF election, ana the
town clerk is one clerk in his election dis-
trict, and the judges of election are to APP
point another, who shall be Of the oppo-
site political party from the town clerk, II
practicable. The township clerk, fifteen
davs before election. shall give public
notice of the time and place of holding
the election, by posting in three public
places of every election district three
notices containing list of officers to be
elected ,one Of these notices to be posted
up at the place Of holding the election.
These notices are to contain the hours
during which the polls will be open.
Twenty DAYS before election the judg-
es are to make list or register of names
of persons entitled TO vote. Ten DAYS
before election three copies Of this list
are to be posted In each district, and no.
tice of the time and place when the
judges will be present for the purpose OF
correcting the list. On the Tuesday two
weeks before election and, IL necessary,
for the next three days, from nine q. m.
to one p. M, the judges shall be pres
ent at the election place to correct the
list. The last list is 10 be consulted, and
the judges are to put upon the new LIST
the names of all persons whom they
know, or with reasonable diligence can
ascertain, to be entitled to vote.
If any judge shall not be present al
the time and place for correcting the
list or holding the election, Is q candi'
date or refuses to act, the qualified yo'
tiers present shall elect, vive voce, a sue
cessor from among the qualified voters
The judges and clerks shall be able Il

from nine a. m, until five p. m, OF
