n last weeks Record the Rev Og-
y who, since Mr.. Hayes was COM
.led by failing sight to reltnQuish
charge, has acted ~ pastor Of the
ptbodist church at this place, had
mice printed that on the following
..nug he would preach = sermon on
temperance. Those who attended
sreued not to y temperate sermon
apy means-but to On tntemperate
,Iitca TRADE, in which the gentle
nan who is sent out here 70 instruct
in the straight and narrow path
hsed Gov. Sarles shamefully, and
,aae lust such a talk generally ~ one
ould expect to hear from . Red Riv-
valley insurgent or read Ia the COL
INNS Of the Fargo Searchltght. In
Act, the gentleman sllowed that, fhe
). = follower Of the meek and gentle
kazarene, he has q queer way Of show
)ng it,
1t is the fashion with some OF the
narrow minded people that ere sent
hut To this newer part of North
Dakota to round up the souls Of the
natives to take 1t for granted that
whatever they may say Is swallowed
Without question by . population be-
lieyed by some Of the eastern mission
;ry societies to be too low In the scale
ii intelligence to think and read for
themselves. We have had such gen.
/ ny here before. There vas old man
Garry, aho stirred up more stink In
lie county among church members
as well as the unRodly-than asensible,
minister could rectifv
in years Then came the intellectual
giant. flardenbrOOk, who made him
self so unpopular with the citizens Of
the county generally that he COM
pIained to several people that he 1t
times was on the verge OF starvation.
Mr. Ogden, in his political speech,
called attention to the fact that the
congregational congl Generation Of cleri-
cal bigbugs that recently powwowed
AT Jamestown denounced Governor
Sares: but lie neglected to inform his
audience as the columns Of the
Jamestown papers show-that . mi
nority energetically opposed the
passage of the resolutions, one Of the
prominent speakers asserting that in
his experience the denouncing Of ,
by preachers gathering
did the one denounced more good than
harm, for the reason that most people
believed that political action Was not
within the province Of . conference or
other church gathering.
The very reverend Mr.. Ogden also
llasted the members Of the James
town convention, and told how the
Slope delegates went to the Jim River
valley city with two cars bearing the
words in large letters, 'sThe Slope
Solid for Sarles. . He related how the
ungodly bunch had champagne aboard,
OF which they imbibed. And Govern
er sarles was held responsible by him
Tor The fact of this champagne drink
ing.
Now, for the information Of Mr..
Ogden, we will say that his powers Of
differentiation as to firewatera are weak,
u this can be taken as an instance Of
the way they normally work. The
"llter was on the train, and he here
asserts from personal knowledge that
There wasn't q bottle Of champagne
consumed on the train; the beverage
icing the plain, common, plebeiar
a'lhk that made Milwaukee famous
% famous-whichever may be the
point Of view: that Of the sinner or Ol
1e saint. The delegates ON that
'laln were representative republicans
'' Emmons county and Of the 0thel
counties Of the Slope. They had just
oeen chosen under the provisions o.
'ie primary law to represent the re
puollcans Of the Slope In the conven
llon Of their party. Some Of them
az least-were and are just rs virtuous
Just as honest, just - Christianlike
Just as good citizens, q the clerica
gentleman who gave them the turn
lns over last Sunday. And, whateve
''iey may have done that WAS oflensiv'
70 The good man from Linton, 1t hard
" seems reasonable To hold the gov
er''ol responsible for 1t, when the lot
lel was not on the train, but At James
town.
MI. Ogden also attacked the legisls
lufe, telling how the laws were en-
acted at the Northwest hotel, and no
AZ the Capitol. We have no crow t
