1t is refreshing to meet him during
the unsettled political state at Bis
marck aC present. He expresses SUI
prenle contempt for the howl of some OF
the retormers, and. from what | can
gather from the outside world, 1t is
just contempt.
To be honest and Just to every one, L

from Prof. Mckenzie. In fact, | could
not pick up much information around

that certain ones have been before the
investigating committee who have re-
fused to talk. Why this refusal? Does
any one know? | don't know. | only
know what is limited. | can only i'm
agine how a fellow might feel under
the reported circumstances. No, they
would not talk. But | will not say
they; | will say he, for | am not posi-
tive which one it was; but they say one
of them had lively hand in helping
elect late United States senator-very
active. He wanted to see one of thuSe
senators get there awfully. He sue
ceeded: but how did he succeed? That,

tigating committee wanted HIM to

to-day is he refuses. / want

These are only rumOrS wildly floating in
the air. All that is positively known is
he doesn't answer. If he did nothing and
knows nothing why does he refuse?

If the above passage is not in the Bible
this certainly is: land like lamb
dumb before his shearer, 80 opened he
not his mouth. Acts viii, 50. This
quotation seems to be in order, and COW
ers the case completely. The fellow
can't be blamed for being dumb. If |
were that "lamb' they might pull the
wool off instead of shearing it,
and | would remain dumb still.
| don't know anything about
it from personal knowledge. 1t is
purely matter of hearsay. and hearsay
is not the best evidence. But that he is
dumb there is no dispute. Why this
dumbed dumbreSS?
Another question | was repeatedly
asked while IN Bismarck was. if |
knew, or could find out anything. about
the black list the governor was keeping
of members VINO were for, or doubtful,
in regard to lotteries. 1t is rumorpd
that he has one-and everything in his
power is direct ii against the fellow
VINO holds lottery sentiments. His
political influence, official patronage
and power. are all said to be anti-lot-
terry. He is going to night the next

all his friends are honest, is
grave question with some. OF course,
a mans friends will do things
he is not responsible for, and don't
know any thing about, and would jump
ON if he did know it. 1t is known that
Gov. Miller got his nomination by hard
work and only one vote. But he did not

| met a fellow who was there, and
says he knows all about it, and was the
one who accomplished the end. He says
he sat up and talked with delegate
till 2 o'clock in the morning, then he
went to bed with him and talked to him
alone, in the quiet and privacy of the
bed chamber, two hours more, then they
both dropped off into quiet Slumber,
and the last word he heard the stubborn
delegate say, when he closed his eyes,
was: "Pll dream over it," They both
dropped off mo sweet sleep, and in
about an hour this delegate woke up,and
shook his shoulder and said Il have
dreamed; l see things in new light
now" lam converted. I'll change my
vote and go for Miller" That settled it

ity. 1t was not necessary to put any
more to sleep to dream dreams and see
visions. When the convention met and
the roll was called next day the govern
Or's eagle scared proudly away, bearing
the victory for honest John. 1t was not
bribery or corruption that watched over
the delegates, but the angels. Circum-
stances Of this kind make the governor
feel that he is an instrument i'll the
hands Of the Lord. more than anything
else, and that is the reason why he
strikes out with such boldness as the
unterrifed leader of the people, and
prods the villains right and left. Let
them stand dumb before the investi-
eating cOmmittee-Who cares? They
can't get anything on the governor:that
is, they say they can't, and l guess they
can't. They certainly can't If a we'll
defined line of dumbness is kept up.
Every body seemed to be afraid of me at
Bismarck. and could not get much out
of them. But it was amusing to hear
why the late n. G. Ordway left North
Dakota feeling so badly, and was COM
ing back to investigate everybody and
everything so fast. Now, am
A FRIEND TO ORDWAY,
and feel sorry for him, and think he
long as it was bound to be two Repub-
LEANS, why not have Ordway for one?
But when they saw his chances were
up the boys, naturally feeling friendly
to him, said: NOW, old man, we can't
90 off and leave you. You must be on
the band wagon We don't want to
see you loser in this thing and out in
the cold. You have been a candidate in
good faith and spent something for it.
Now come in and let your strength go
to the gentleman from JimtoWn, and
your expenses will all be paid back and
you will be one of the boys" This was
all friendly and good, and the "band
wagon" backed up and the old man got
on, and by invitation he presented his
bill of expenses. Caesars ghost! What
do you suppose it was? He paralyzed
them. The boys supposed it would be
for few cigars, little bill at the bar,
a few days board and little station
cry; something of that kind. But it
was way, way up in the thousands.
What in thunder he could spend so
much money for no one could see.
The bill. it is said, passed through
the regular auditing committee,
