WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS TERRITORY JANUARY H. 1854

ON the Both ult. a meeting was held in the
rooms OF the Alder Gulch Club, the object
OF which was to take steps to secure statis-
ties showing the products and resources OF
the Beaverhead, Big Hole, Ruby and Madi-
son valleys, and the adjacent country, with
view to demonstrating the capacity OF
these valleys to support line OF railroad
running through them. The subject was
thoroughly discussed, and Judge Henry N
Blake, citizen whose thorough familiarity
with the country, combined with his we'll
known bent for collecting facts and figures
we'll fits him to undertake the task, was
chosen to superintend the work. .-Madi

BLACK walnut can be grown from the nut,
producing a butt fourteen inches in diane
ter in as many years from the seed, as far
north as Massachusetts. No tree valuable
for its timber in cabinet uses, unless the
black birch be so considered, can attain to
that useful growth in that period of time in
our northern climate. Naples require twenty
years before they become good timber trees;
beeches and birches fifteen years to attain
to diameter large enough to yield nine
inch boards; hickory should have a growth
of thirty years; and cherry at least as
much.

The egg product is a matter of no little

A CALIFORNIA stage proprietor preserves
the running gear OF his wagons much longer
in the following manner: After the wood
work is made and before it is put together,
he soaks every part of he running gear in
crude petroleum oil for twenty four hours,
and then, after putting it together washes
the same with it from end to end, including
the wheels. BY so doing once in each sue
ceeding ninety days he finds but little repair
ing to do. He says the oil prevents the
wood from either shrinking or swelling, and
costing but triAe, he is satisfied that it has
saved him many dollar in the shape Of re-
pairs.

MONTANA has many thousands OF acres
of tillAble land, but it will be many years
before One-tourth of it is devoted to grain
growing. StockgroWing constitutes such
an important feature Of our industry that
thousands of acres Of our best lands are
being purchased by Stock-growers for pas
lures and meadows. On our eastern from
tier. and especially the Judith valley, one of
the best agricultural valleys in the Territory
the wool, beef and horse growers are secur-
ing large possessions. Hence only a small
portion of the country will be devoted to
farming. These large stock ranches are
quite as good for the country and employ
as many hands as if the land was titled, and
promise to be much more remuneratiVe. 1t
is, therefore, well that settlement in these
regions remote from market is taking this
turn.

The following is the platform: The
Democratic party Of the Union, through
its representatives, in National Convention
assembled, recognizes that, as the nation
grows older, new issues are born Of time
and progress, and old issues perish. but
the fundamental principles of the Democ-
racy, approved by the united voice of the
people, remain, and will always remain as
the best and only security for the continu-
ancc Of free government, the preservation
Of personal rights, the equality of all citi.

the states and the supremacy of the Fed.

THE EVENING SESSION.
Preparing For tho Reception ofthe
Platform.

CHICAGO, July I0.-The evening ses-
sion of the convention was attended by nm
immense gathering of spectators. Every
seat within the building Outside of the
sections assigned to delegates and their al
ternatives) being filled half an hour before
the time to which the adjournment took
place, and as the delegations came in, and
as prominent men among them were recog-
nized, they were greeted with cheers and
clapping of hands. Meanwhile popular
airs were performed by the band of music.
There was q far intenser feeling of inter
est and excitement vibrating in the atmos-
phere than was apparent at any preceding
session for it has been a matter of gen
eral observation among those who have
attended both the Republican convention
and this one, that there has been a strik-
ing contrast between the enthusiasm
manifested in the one and the absence of
it in the other. None of the prominent
candidates seem to be capable of exciting
delegates or spectators to anything like
the degree that Blaine and some of his
rivals for the Republican nomination did,
in this same hall, five weeks ago.
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.
At S:25 p. M. the convention was called
to order and a resolution was offered by
Mr.. Henry, of Mississippi, expressing the
regret and intense admiration of the con-
vention at reading the statesmanlike and
patriotic letter Of Samuel j. Tilden, in
which he made known the overpowering
and providential necessity which con-
strained him to decline the nomination to
the Presidency, condemning the fraud
and violence by which Tilden and
Hendricks we're cheated out of their
offices in 1876, expressing regret that the
nation has been deprived of the lofty
patriotism and splendid executive and ad-
ministrative ability OF Mr.. Tilden, and APP
pointing a committee to convey these
sentiments to that gentleman. Adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Cleveland, of New
jersey, it was ordered that states and
territories be now called for the names of
members of the national democratic com
mittee.
\ report was made by the committee on
resolutions in favor of the proposition to
permit the national committee to choose u
chairman outside of its own members.
The report was adopted.
A delegate from Arkansas offered a re-
solution %abrogating and disseminating in
future the two thirds rule in the nomina-
ton Of candidates for President.
Mr.. Cochran, of New York, moved to
lay the resolution ON the table, character
izing it as a revolutionary proposition.
Mr.. Abbott, Of New jersey, said it
was absurd for this convention to attempt
to make rules for the next convention
and moved to postpone the resolution in.
deinity Cochran Withdrawing his notion.
The question was taken and the motion
to postpone indefinitely was carried.
Morrison, of Illinois, (at 9:20 D.. m.
chairman of the committee on resolutions
stepped TO the platform to present the re
port Of that committee. His appearance
was greeted with cheers. The platform
was read by one of the reading clerks.

Mr., Cummings then came forw ard to
the platform and addressed the owen
ton in support Of the nomination of
Thomas r. Bayard, of Delaware. 1t had
been said that the electoral vote Of the
South was sure for any Democratic
nominee. The South had kept its faith
unfalteringly and unfinchingly, but it
must be seen to that no Democratic Con
vention commit itself to a nomination
or a nominee who would in some degree
imperil those states in the future.
The best man whom THO Democracy
would give would be none too good to
carry the banner of Democracy, and none
too pure for the great Democracy of the
South, and
PURE AND HIGH n EXALTED
as the nominee could be, no one could be
more so than Bayard of Delaware.

Of success on their nominee. 1t must not

about that change was the candidate
whom he now presented, Governor George
Hoadly, of Ohio. [Somo applause. ]
Mr.. Hoadly had received the largest en-
dorsement ever given to a Democrat in
Ohio, getting $4,000 more votes than
Hancock had received in 1880. He was
known to the nation as y great lawyer, Il
wise Statesman, a fearless and aggressive
leader, a man of acknowledged ability, Of
undoubted integrity; a mar of courage as
well as of wisdom.

the platform to put in nomination George

Democracy was true to itself
its success in the coming struggle
was already assured. Within the last few
years, he said, the State of Ohio had
overcome a Republican majority of over
100000, and ut this hour the government
of Ohio was in the keeping Of the great
Democratic party. The man who had

The State of Pennsylvania having been
reached in the call, Senator William 4.
Wallace, of that state, came to the plat
form to nominate Mr.. Randall. He said;
by the direction of the Pennsylvania
delegation l come to present the name OF
a candidate for the great office of Presi-
dent of the United States, which is found
or every page of your country and your
party's history in the last two decades.

man we bring you. He has a practical
hand, his experienced forethought, his
conyersance with public affairs will lay the
foundations of your return to power so
broad, so wide, SO deep, that they will be
permanent. Applause. He has been
practically the leader in the National
House of Representative for seventeen
years, fayoring a reduction of taxation
and an economical administration of the
government. He has with skill and sue
cess resisted the lavish expenditure of the
money of the people, the waste of the
public domain and unconstitutional
and tyrannical force bills. Applause.
His iron will has put the knife to cor

turn to comparative purity of administra-

More Kind Words for Randall.

Governor Abbott, of New Jersey, sec
onded the nomination of Randall. He.
said that there was a conviction in the
land that if wisdom controlled the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party in making a
platform broad enough for every Demo
crat to stand upon and in placing upon it
a candidate of transcendent ability and
pure life, success lies in the results of
their deliberations. He thought Samuel
j.. Randall as the candidate would reach
the controlling vote in the pivotal states
more certainly than any of the distin-
guished men named. He asked where
does success lie? Not in Minnesota, not
in Iowa or other of the confirmed Repub-
lican states, but in those close states car
ried by Tilden in 1876. He reviewed the
arguments urged for Cleveland and said
these all applied to Thurman, Bayard
and others. Then what excuse in
putting aside these grand Democrats
for a new man. The record of Randall is
pure and stainless, while his public career
for twenty years has been in behalf Of an
economical and honest government.
They are
PRACTICAL EFFORTS FOR REFORM
Randall would sweep New jersey like q
great political cylone. He is the friend
of laborers everywhere, and the conven,
ton could do no better than to nominate
him.
The call Of the roll Of states for nomina.
tons was then resumed.
Rhode Island being called, the chair,
man of the delegation announced that
Rhode Island had a candidate TO offer.
Mr. Abbott, chairman of the Massa
chusetts delegation, said when that stat,
was called Yesterday they presented NJ
name. Now, in behalf of the majority o
that delegation, he asked that Mr.. Johr
W. Cummings might second the nomina
ton Of Mr.. Bayard.
