Inete we're many county pledges made.
Lesser pledges were made from schools.
churches end other organizations within
these counties. All of the latter are to
be deducted from the former. Yet there
were many Of the smaller pledges from
counties which made no pledges. 30
neither the aggregate Of the county
pledgea, nor OF the lesser pledges, gives
NO accurate totsl. But we will leave the
xeontive committee to figure out the
aggregate.
Besides these subscriptions were q few
more personal oneB which would aggre-
gate $500, many OF them paying the
cash.
Col. Clongh tried to ge. some more.
He asked the audience if there was not
one Of them who had another dollar or
expected to have some time this Summer.
But the milk was all out of the c%ooosnut;
the hopper was empty, and Olougb, the
j. u. beggsr OF South Dakota, retired to
an easy chair to rest. He had raised
fully s 5000.
WINDING UP.
A few remarks were made by Judge
Barnea, complimentary resolutions to
the officers went through with q wbirI.
Prof. Cornwall offered che following,
which were adopted with q heartiness
that indicated satisfaction with the en-
t%ertainment the Huronisns had yolun-
tarilv given to oil the delegates:
Resoloed, That the thanks OF this JON
v~ention are hereby rendered to I'll
capital city OF south Dakota for the
generous hospitality her people have
shown to all OF US; also to the press for
their bright and accurate reports of this
convention, and to the railroads for their
many favors.
And then there was q pause. a
Boiemnity as OF an eutumnRl SIMMER
evening.
when twilight let's her curtain down
And pins il with q star"
One thing more was to be done. The
capsheaf wss to be placed on the glorious
work.
The key of the arch must be set.
Zee, q Thousand heads q bowed, many
knees are bent, every eye ia closed.
There is @ voice, clear. solemn Eaiaipg
in prayer to the God of battles. It is
echoed by the vast throng of determined
workers, and all recite:
"Our Father which art in heaven
hailowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth as 1t ia
IN heaven. Give MS this day our daily
bread, and forgive Us our sabss as we
forgive our debtors And lead
US not into temptation bnt de-
liver us from evil, for Thine is the
kingdom and the power and the glory
forever. Amen
1t was not the voiceof the c~ovenanters
al Edinburgh castle; nor OF the Jews
waillng at Jerusalem; nor OF the Greeks
Of Delphos; nor OF the Mohammedans
at Mecca. But the earnest prayer OF
those who know Him whom they ad-
dressed; who were convinced OF tbs
righteousness of their cause; and who
| we're bold enough to claim His strength
and guidance in the contest upon which
they have entered.
All sang the long meter doxology. Rev,
Mr.. Springer pronounced the benedic-
tlon and all weat out.
A wonderful assemblsge. Practical
and wise conclusions. Rarbinger Of a
complete triumph for constitutional pro-
hibition in May and October.
