any other township can come out and
he will be given an opportunity to re-
flute any statement made or ask any
question he may desire. On Wednes-

Andy Lees conversion to populism.
Mr.. Lee is a resident OF Vermillion.
He is not q populist in any sense Of
the word. He has not the slightest
inclinations in that direction and the
pops are using the fabrication merely
to bolster up their weak cause.
A letter received from Bcrcsford
from Il friend OF the editor states that
everything looks remarkably favorable
for the uccess OF the republican ticket
up in that neighborhood. Sinclair
will have, the writer states, 100 ma
jority over Grill in his home town and
viii cross the Elk Point township line
with 800 majority. Beresford will cast,
the writer predicts, AIS votes, an in
crease Of nearly 800 over two years ago.
John Scotland OF Sturgis, democratic
candidate for railroad commissioner;
was in the city Il few days the guest Of:
his fa~tlcr-in-law, Patrick Donnelly.
Mr.. Scotland is a nan OF ability and is
worthy in every respect-except his
p~Olitics-of being elected. He would
make Il model officer, and the only
suggestion we have to make is that
he join the republican party and seek
n nomination ut the next republican
convention.
Last week the Leader published
what purported to be n letter from
Chairman Basford of the state repub-
lican central committee with regard to
sending Il preacher to Lincoln county.
who was to work religion with one
hand and the republican ticket with
the other. A prominent citizen re-
ceived a letter on the 18th from Mr..
Basford in which the latter states that
the letter is u pure fake and forgery. |
Nothing OF the kind was thought OF, |
much the less written. The face OF
the letter gives it away. Such a bare
faced piece of damnable political chi
caDery ought to doubly dam any po-
litical party" No one acquainted with
Mr.. Basford for Il moment would be-
licve him guilty OF s,icft. an act as
charged, and it only illustrates the
methods to WhiclIsthe %populists are
resorting to p~rcjuaite the voters.
In reference to the communication
in the Journal of the 5th instant from
Fiandreau in regard to the Ahern case,
which stated that II. II. James, Father
Ahern's attorney, had stated that
Father Ahern was warmly supported
by Archbishop Ireland, MIR. James states
that ii he ever did make statements to
that effect that all the authority he had
Tor making them was the fact that he
was aware that certain members OF
Father Ahern's congregation at Elan
dreau had sent in petitions to Arch
bishop Ireland. asking him to Remove
Father Ahern, and that the archbishop
had taken no action in the matter. Mr..
james states that further than this he
has no knowledge of the Mrchbishop's
feelings in the matter, and that he
knows nothing OF how the bishop feels
in the matter more than ;is above
stated. Father Alern denies that
Archbishop Ireland is ia any way i'll
tercsted in the matter on either side;
that as far as the church fight is con-
cerned it is a matter over which
Bishop Marty has jurisdiction.
eTilltlIOn Dome years
ago, On the 9th of October, there was
born to Mrs. A. II. Martin a daughter
whom they called Nellie. This daugll-
ter grew both good and great, and as
time sped on she became such a young
lady as young gentlemen admire. Now
there joined the circle OF Miss Nellie's
acquaintances Il young man named
| Reynick, to whom she showed mitch

others. And this preference was not
altogether with her. for likewise did
Alex. Now this man Reynick had

unsatisfactory is single "blessedness;;'
SO he sought to mend his ways and
| settle down, with Il nice little wife to
help him make a home and a place in
the great world. Last Saturday, De-
t0ber 6, ut the BRIDES home and IN the
presence of the two families and very
few friends, Rev. Mr.. Clewortl, pro-
nounccd Alexander Reynick and Nellie
G. Martin husband and wife. The
wedding breakfast was served ut 1
o'clock, and il Dame Fortune smiles
as bountiful upon the new family as
did the tables smile upon the guests,
they'llnever go hungry. The dwelling
on the northwest corner OF Elm and
Cedar-sts- had been fitted up as their
new home, and thence they went us
soon as the guests had departed.
Serenaders were out that night, but
they do not all smoke-gum was in
