.1,l M, HARMONIOUS MEETING. s{a
The meeting WIS entirely harmonious,
the evident intention being that the action
OF the Committee should, as far as possible,
advance the party welfare. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that under the National
Call the State Committee had no control
over tho time and place Of choosing the
district dsegates to Chicago, that matter
having ben left wholly to the several dig
tric:s. !: was thought by the gentlemen
present that their-dislric:s would probably
desire to elect their delegates by distric.
conventions held within the districts.
1t is probable that the First district con.
yention will be held in Weston, the Second
at Keyser, and the Fourth in Parkersburg.
Nobody could speak for the Third. s While
no action was taken with regard to the
convention to nominate State officers, i,
seemed TO be the understanding that
Parkeishnrg would be selected. The fol.
lowing liberal call was agreed upon and
will be issued a. once: -,1.5.

MANNER OF SELECTING DELEGATES.

AAhSNhh'eE phLkSAA&>I DhLIsIhA
1t was declared in the lest National
Republican convention that each Congress
sionsl district should be allowed to hold
within iits territory convention Of i!s own
voters and there nominate two delegates to
The National Convention il it see tit to do
90. We therefore call upon the several
Congressional District Committees through
out the. State to convene District Convsn-
tions in accordance with said order and
nominate delegates as therein specified; or,
II they deem best they can appoint dele
gates to the State Convention with instruc.
lions to nominate their delegates at that
time. @ ~
We would suggest to County Committees
the propris,y Of early. action in the matter
Of holding county meetings for the pur-
pose Of appointing delegates to the State
and District conventions. Your commit
tee, would recommend tho appointment Of
one delegate for every ons hundred voters
polled for Garfield aud Arthur as basis
OF Representation Ia the State Convention.

Mr. Fitzsimmons denies the soft

PEELED to adjourn their convention be-
cause the hall was needed for other
purposes. The use of the hall was
freely given, and no limit or restrc.

course, the proprietor didn't expect
them to remain in session all winter.

The Ratification, Next Tuesday.

Ladies who feel an interest in pol
itics should attend the ratification
meeting at the Republican Club rooms,
in Haley Theater next Tuesday even
ing. Also, those who would like to
hear the political issues of the day
thoroughly discussed should attend,
and they may rest assured the subject
will be ably handled. Judge Brear-
ley is an eloquent and witty speaker,
and understands the situation as we'll,
perhaps, as any man in the Territory.
Ex-Governor Curtis, whom ever; body
knows to be an able and entertaining
speaker, will also consume part of
the evening. Seats will be reserved
for ladies and they are assured strict
order will be maintained.

Licenses Issued.

Sheriff Furey issued licenses for
the present quarter to IS saloon
keepers IN HALEY, seven at Bullion,
and tYe at S!oshone. The number
of lice.ses at ke.chum aud Bellevue
is not definitely known at present,
though it will probably reach Is at
ketchum. For the last quarter there
were II gaming licenses issued for
Haley, and eight for ketchum. The
revenue from this source amounts to
S2,4oO per quarter, or $500 year
from saloons alone, aside from the
gaming licenses at Bullion, and both
liquor and gaming licenses at Belle
vue and the smaller towns through
out the county. AT present there are
no games in Shoshone.

SUDDEN DEATH IN KETCHCM.
Mrs. Maud kirby's Demise to be JUDI.
cially Investigated.


Mrs. Maud Kirby, wife of W. ].
Kirby, of ketchum, died very sud.
denly at 5 o'clock this morning, and
circumstances seemed to warrant the
belief that death did not result from
natural causes. However this may
be-, it is certain that the coroner WAS
notified, and an inquest and post NOR
tenn have been ordered to be held to-
morrow morning.
There are many different reports
and theories regarding the death, and
later advices from ketchum are to the
effect that in the opinion of the ma
]or'ty no one should be suspected Of
foul play, and that death was natural.
~ least no cause can be assigned, so
far as developments have gone, tor the
preparation of murder, but at the
same time there seems to be mys.
Terry surroun ing the affair that needs
dwelling, ana this will be speedily
done.
The first report that reached Haley
this morning stated that the services
OF the Sheriff would be required, as
we'll AS those of the Coroner, but since
then the affair seems to have Quoted
down somewhat, and the Sheriff has
not been notified.
BY the death of Mrs. Kirby, Sam
tiatton, held for the murder of Arou
Morris, has lost one Of his principal
witnesses, and unless some statements
were made by her previous to her
death, almost his only hope is now
let US hope-in Heaven.

A BREEZE IN BULLION.
The People Determined Not to Allow
Abandoned Women IN Town.

The people of Bullion are deter.
mined TO keep disreputable characters
out OF their town. The place is
small, the houses teiny built on the
sides OF two narrow ravines or can.
yons, and the entire population lives
IN close quarters.-that is, in sight of
one another-and there is no secluded
portion. Two or three days ago Jen-
ME Michele, Of this city, went up
there and opened house of ill.fame,
and two Acknowledged trollops went
up about the same time for the same
purpose. AS soon AS these new ar
rivals became known, the miners de.
termned they should not STAY,
aud notified them to that ef-
feet yesterday. Fearing violence
the Deputy Sheriff up there
attempted to collect Sheriff S posse.
but no one would act, all giving some
excuse. Finally the Deputy was as
sured that no violence was meant, and
he went to bed
To-day Jennie Michele telephoned
for Sheriff Furey, saying that the Bull
lionites threatened to tear her house
down unless she left. The Sheriff
went up at once but he will doubt
less be unable to do more than escort
the fallen women to HALEY, as the
people are determined not to permit
them to stay there.
The Bullio"ites say they do not
mind the women so much as they do
the FOUNDERS and thieves that flock
about them.

Died.

On Wednesday, September 10th,
1884, at Doyle, of cholera infantum,
Owen, the little son of DIR. and
Mrs. 10. P. Smith. On Thursday the
little mortal remains that once contain
ed the immortal, we're tenderly laid
away in Greenwood Cemetery, to
await the second coming. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. James
Smith, of the G. P. Church. 1t is
with sadness and sorrow we bury our
little ones. 1t is hard TO give them up,
but we should submit to the will OF
Him who doeth all things well. He
has taken little Owen, as many others,
from a world of sin and sorrow to a
better home than this, to be an angel
in heaven. Christ, the good shepherd,
may have taken the little one to him
self on the other shore, as an incentive
to father and mother and friends to
strive harder to gain that better land.

Prof. T. A. Head, who has been en-.
gagged for sometime in writing history
of the 10th Tennessee Regiment, was
married last week in Illinois. He and
his bride arrived at this place last Sat
urday on the evening train. We wish
the newly married couple long life Of
prosperity and happiness. Now thai
Prof. Head is married he will doubt,
less resume work on his history. From
a note received we infer he will have
something for the readers of the STAN
