no OF THE COMMON PEOPLE.

Not in the history OF Fargo has a
more impressive tribute been paid to a
departed citizen of the United States
than the one paid to the memory OF
the cate John A. Johnson, the lamentel
governor of Minnesota at the Masonic
temple this afternoon. Politics were
forgotten and the speakers only re
membered that he was a man, a great
and a good man, man from the peo-
pie and essentially of the people.
The people of the city showed how
deeply they have been affected by the
death of Governor Johnson, by the
large number who turned out this aft
ernoon to the memorial exercises, and
when one or other speaker touched
on some of the many remarkable at
tributes Of the man the tears flowed
freely.
Owing to the late hour at which the
meeting was held The Forum is un-
able to give a detailed account of each
address this afternoon. The meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev.
Charles r. Adams of the First Presby-
terrain church and addresses were made
by w. s. Stambaugh, Col J. D. BEN
ton, Hon. L. B. Hanna, Rev. H. G.
Leonard, III. c. Plumley. M. A. Hildreth
and Rev. N. o. Grunden.
