Chairman Warner, Who directed atten-
tion 10 the fact that when the railroad

company had no right to sell lands to
which they could not give q clear title,
and the fact that moneyed institutions
would not loan on lands 90 purchased
was an esidence that the title was not
good. II the company wanted to be

Blaine Answers Certain Charges Decisively.
Some aside Issues" Knocked Out the First
| Round.

WHEELING, October 5.--Blaine has writ
ten the following letter to Hon. William Me.
Kinley, of Ohio:
BELLAIRE, Oct. 4, 1sS4.--To Hon. Vim.
Mckinley, NJ. c., Canton, o.: My Dear Sir
have your favor stating certain charges
against me which you wish to be able TO
contradict authorita, lively. l answer you
promptly and decisively.
First. 1t is utterly untrue that ever adj
vocated residence Of twenty-one yeats as a
requirement of naturalization In the coun-
try. always opposed the party that sug-
gested 1t. / think the only change In the
naturalization laws for which ever voted In
Congress, was TO admit those foreigners who
had honorsbly served In the Union army
TO citizenship without the delay required OF
others. -.
Second. never voted to impose q tax OF
ten dollars per annum on miners. BY the
internal revenue laws framed to raise money
for the expenses of the war, proprietors Of
mines were taxed ten dollars per snnum,
just the same as lawyers, physicians, build
ers, and other callings we're, but the individ
ual miner, the man whs actually worked in
the mine, was not Ia the least affected by the
tax. voted for the tax on proprietors of
mines, as / did for every other tax needed
for the support Of the Union armies. The
tax was repealed fifteen years ago.
Third. do net own and never did own
an acre Of coal land, or any kind Of land In
the Hooking valley, or In any other part Of
Ohio. My letter to Hon. Hezekiah Bundy
In July last on the same subject was accu-
rately true. Very truly yours,

AN INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.

A political movement has developed In
Silver Bow county within the past few days
that may be an important factor in deter
mining who will hold the Offices IN that
county for the next two years. 1t Is al in
dependent, or "People's Party" As 1t is desig.
mated, that originated primarily among
VAUDEVILLE men, has since expanded to en-
brace oil precincts In the county, and has
grown to proportions that seriously threaten
both the regular county tickets. The rea-
son for their action assigned BY those in the
movement Is that the regular parties are run
by rings aud cliques and that corruption 10
eozing out Of every pore Of them-or words
to that effect. They further claim that their
sspirants before the regular conventions
have not had . fair show, and the real in
centive 70 the movement runs back to griev-
ances OF two and four years. standing. 1t is
no child's play. They mean business, and
It is intimated to US by we'll informed Butte
ties that II they manage we'll they are likely
to control the results Of the next election In
that county. We do not understand that the
movement contempiates extending to Dele
gate. The Miner and Inter Mountain are
handling the case very carefully, . virtual
admission Of the formidable character Of the
movement. The convention 10 to be held In
Caplice Hall TO morrow. We notice In the
list of delegates number Of old-time prom
inent and influential Democrats and Repub.
licans-men who 90 In 10 win and will stay
TO the crack Of doom. Whether they have
cause for their revolt against the action Of
the regular conventions or not, We do not
know, as their grievances have not been par
ticularized In print. What the character
and result Of the movement will be depend
upon the action tomorrow.

DEER LODGE CO. DEMOCRATIC TICKET
On last Saturday the grand jury of Denver

On last Saturday the grand jury OF Denver
returned five indictments, two Of them
against tho notorious Mark NJ. Pomoroy,
otherwise known as "Brick" Pomeroy. One
of these indictments is for perjury and the
other for false prstenses, but the specific
charges have not yet been made known. Re.
Gently there have been a number Of severe
attacks upon Brick" Pomerey in the paper
which he left behind him, and which Is
known as the Great West. These attacks
charged him with all kinds of corruption
and swindling In divers and sundry financial
and business transactions. Pomeroy has
been mixed up in a mining project called the
Atlantic and Pacific tunnel, by which he
proposed to run a tunnel under the range
back Of Georgetown. The success Of his
scheme depended upon his cutting mineral
veins in the heart of tho Rocky mountain
while driving his tunnel. The project has
proved to be a failure thus far, and it has
generally been looked upon with disfavor by
Colorado people, and it has been charged
with being but little, if any, better than =
scheme for working the conhdiug stock
holders Of the East, and of inducing them to
advance money to carry the work on. He is
now in New York publishing a Democratic
paper, and requisition papers have been
made out for his return to Colorado.

Ohio and West Virginia and the effect will

knowledgements of the magnificent success

his letter Of acceptance was all the speech

But the people like TO see their candidates
for Office, and TO know "what manner Of

flying and we believe IL . wiser course than
Cleveland is pursuing In immuring himself
In his Office. There Is much virtue assumed
for him 10 attending to the duties Of his Of
