was large congregation. but no politics. In the
evening there was still larger crowd. Mr. Nlsher
did not aude to politics In his sermon but he ala
say that he intended to make n statement before
tho end OF the service. and that fact kept the
audience in an excited state Of expectancy until
1O15 o'clock when the pastor began the expected
exclamation He denied that he had ever written
a letter to any one promising the vote of the
church or any man In the church. and went or TO
say that he believed II to be the duty OF every man
to vote as he pleased and that he would never
attempt to dictate in any way.
