Editors Of the RIVER PRESS
In your edition of August 23d appears
the announcement that the republicans
captured the Shonkin democratic pri-
mary, and sent delegates from that
party, myself being one. If there were
any republicans there they rung them
selves in, for all present professed to be
democratic or independent. For myself
I hsve been life long democrat, and
went to the convention unprepared to
find that conclaye of town delegates
mostly had already in secret caucus
agreed upon the nominations, and only
used the country delegates to counter
ance by their presence the disroputable
proceedings. 7 had no idea Of being used
as catspaW to scratch men in that are
obnoxious to me and my friends, butlike
the delegates from tho Teton andothers,
had for the time to submit
am and intend to remain firm DEM
ocrat, but believe in purity in politics.

llloras.


CHICAGO, August 27.-Advices that
breathe of trouble have been received at
Sheridan's headquars. The Piegan III
ern Montana, are behaving as If intend
ing an outbreak. Their grievance is
that they are starving. The reports OF
the military officers concur in the opinion
that those Indians are suffering for want
of food. They have already stolen q
number Of horses, and as an outbreak
seemed imminent two companies Of in
fantry from Fort Shaw and one Of cav
airy from the Milk River post were
ordered to proceed with all possible dis
patch to the Black Feet agency. The
call for the troops specified that force
should move upon the agency that would
be sufficient to impress the piegans with
the idea that any outbreak would end III
defeat. The very latest intelligence from
the northern posts was to the effect that
the troops had reached the agency, and
that no violence had been attempted by
the Indians The condition of the Pie
gans, particularly the fact Of the in
sufficiency Of their rations, has been re-
ported to the commissioner OF Indian
affairs The complaining redskins are
Warlike band, and being well armed
could inaugurate lively campaign.

The delegates to the republican coun-

$50 yesterday afternoon, and were call
ed to order by Geo. w. Crane, chairman
of the central committee. On motion,
Jere Sullivan was appointed temporary
secretary. The chair announced the fol-
lowing committees:

Credentials--A. G.. Johnson, I'll. G..

Resolutions-H. P. Rolfe, Max Water

It was moved and seconded that the
convention adjourn for half an hour
Moved in amendment that the conven-
ton adjourn until 7:30. The amend
ment was lost, and the convention adj
jeurned until o'clock.
On reassembling the report of the COM
mittee on csedentials was read and
adopted.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation made their report and recon-
mended Max Waterman as permanent
chairman and Ell. B. Hill as permanent
secretary. Report adopted.
Mr.. Waterman, on taking the chair,
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred upon him. He said that while
they met together as republicans to NOM
mate a republican ticket, it should be
their earnest endeavor to select a ticket
which would be credit to the coed
sense of the delegates, composed OF men
for whom they could conscienciously
and confidently ask the suffrages of the
people Of this county, irrespective of
past or future party affiliations. He felt
confident the convention would do this,
and believed that the ticket nominated
would as whole, receive the approval
of the voters at the coming election.
The committee on resolutions present
ed the following report, which was
adopted:
WHEREAS by long continuance in Of
flee men become arbitrary and corrupt,
and neglectful of the public welfare !;
Resotued, That we, the Republlcans OF
Choteau county, demand frequent
frequent changes in office, and that men
be nominated to public places because of
their fitness to fill the position and not
because Of their connection with rings
or cliques.
Resolued, That Montane's delegate to
congress should be willing and able to
urge upon congress legislation to aid in
the development Of the material re-
sources of this territory, and to that end
we demand that he be free from the in
fiuence Of government contractors; and
in this connection we desire to call the
attention of Whomsoever Montana sees
tit TO honor to the over extensive Indian
and military reservations within this
territory. These should Of right be re-
duced and thrown open to the farmer
and stockman
Resoloed, That county offices should
be filled by men who are above suspi-
cion, who will devote their time and
abilities to promote the best interests Of
the people

HELENA, Sept. 5, 1:3O p. n.-Follow-
ing is the latest from Butte: Under the
extreme pressure brought to bear by the
convention at the session last evening,
Voolfolk was forced to decline, who
thereupon nominated Maginnis, and
asked that he be declared the nominee
by acclamation. BY vigorous obstruc-
tions of the minority this was prevented,
and amid much confusion and excite
ment the convention adjourned at Il
o'clock D. M The boss is on the ground
and has the medicine prepared for this
morning at 10 o'clock.
LATER-A motion to nominate Ma
ginnis by unanimous vote was defeated
by 113 to ~. Maginnis has been declared
the nominee of the convention. The
Deer Lodge and Silver Bow delegations
are very indignant and excited. Great
panic and CONSERVATION. The democrats
of Butte freely predict success to the re-
publican nominee if Maginnis remains
the democratic candidate.
LATER. = Maginnis appeared before
the convention and made a speech ac-
cepting the nomination.
