In ORDER to secure votes In the Demo
cratic Convention the Territorial Delegates
organized rs body and established head
quarters. s. T. Hauser, sfMontana, received
the honor Of the Craftsmanship, and Phillip
Daten, Of Wyoming, was made Secretary.
Through the medium Of committees they In
terviewed the State delegations and urged
the propriety and advisability Of admission
TO vote, using Is . chief lever the argument
that without voice In the convention they
could not keep up their party organization
to the time Of the admission Of the Terrific
ries rs States. As case In point they re-
ferred TO Colorado In 1876, the year OF ad-
mission, when from lack of Democratic or
ganiza.ion the State was lost TO Tilden. The
efforts Of the Delegates from the Territories
were successful, and they attained the victory

The Independent Repu biicans.

The Independent Republicans.
NEW YORK, July 1.-The general com
mittes Of Independent Republicans net this
afternoon at their new headquarters, Carl
Schurz presiding. The following call was
unanimously adopted: The undersigned
committee invites Republican and Independ-
ent voters, who disapprove Of the nonina-
tions made by the Republican National Con-
vsntlon at Chic ago As unworthy of support,
who think that the interests Of good govern
ment and public morals demand Republican
candid for President and Vics-President,
and who are therefore resolved not to vote
for Blaine and Logan, to meet for confer
ence, either in person or by delegation, for
the purpose of determining upon . common
course Of action In the pending canvass. The
conference will be held at IL q. M, on the
22d of July, 1884, in the City Of New York,
at University Club Theatre, Madison Avenue
and Twenty sixth street. Gentlemen desir-
ing to take part are respectfully requested to

proofs are adduced establishing this ground

proofs are adduced establishing this ground
of contest.
How q committee, In the face of the evil
dence, could make such statement, passes
comprehension.
Notice again the shystering evasion con-
corning ''the soldiers vote" At Miles City:
There Is some proof tending TO show that
sssoldiers" voted ut this election. In the
opinion of witnesses these soldiers were
from forty TO one hundred and fifty In num-
Der. We do not feel that we are justified In
presuming that because the contestant and
bis witnesses have seen fit to designate these
persons Is soldiers that they are therefore
necessarily incompetent as electors.
In his description of them, and Of their
qualifications - electors, contestant has con-
tented himself with saying that they were
soldiers. There Is no evidence that they
were not residents OF the Territory; that
they had not been residents Of the Territory
long prior to any enlistment In the United
States service, II It is claimed that they were
In the United States service-a proposition
by No means clear in the light of the proofs
But II 1t Is admitted that they were enlisted
men Of the United States Army, and are
therefore incompetent as electors, the COM
mittee are still left In doubt as 10 how and
for whom these incompetent electors cast
their ballots.
Here is one instance where the committee
cannot see its way to do anything because
the contestant does not show for whom incom-
petent electors, under the protection of the
right to secret ballot, cast their votes, just as
1t did not do anything where lib straight
votes were canvassed for Maginnis at
"Wooley's Ranch" which never existed, and
where 400 votes for Maginnis were stuffed IN
the ballot box at Miles City. Such voting
and such Congressional Judging" make
mockery of elections and is a disgrace to our
government. The committee further re-
pa.ted, and the report was adopted, that the
Montana law requiring precincts to be estab-
llshed and judges appointed at the regular
sessions Of Boards of County Commissions
Immediately Proceedings general election is
directory rather than mandatory in its char
acter, and that their designation at another
time In the interests of free and convenient
ballot was such an exercise of power as the
Commissioners might indulgein. Thus the in
tent and purpose Of the Legislature is put
aside readily in pursuance of "anything to
seat Maginnis." The report is not credlta-
BILE, for we do not believe 1t In accordance
with the facts before the committee and
Congress. A people whose election has been
tempered with and vitiated are entitled to q
more conscientious investigation of the facts
and redress of the wrong. The whitewash
don't cover the rottenness of the election of
1882.

Fear OF choler. In New York.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The State Board Of
Health considers the possibility and facili-
ties for the introduction of cholera into this
country too obvious to be disrcgarded, and
memorandum on preventive measures
against the disease has been issued. The
history Of former invasions Of cholera, says
the board, warrants the belief that its reap
pearance bere Is probable. The leading
morning papers print the boards memoran-
dunn. It Is stated that the fear Of cholera
abroad Is checking the usual midsummer ex.
edus for Europe on the various steamer
lines.

Advance in the Price OF Druqs.

NEW YORK, July 13.--A noticeable effect
Of the cholera outbreak In Europe is the rise
here of the price Of drugs used In the pre-
vsntion and treatment of the disease. The
demand has been largely stimulated. Opium,
which Is largely used in compromising chol-
era mixture, has advanced 25 cents per pound
in the last few days. 1t may, however, be
questioned whether the rise in opium comes
from the scare or the shortness of the crop
this year. Sulphate of morphine Is 20 cents
per ounce higher, and oil of peppermint has
recently advanced. A conside rable amount
OF 1t has recently been exported. The do
mand for camphor is increasing, and rise
Is expected. Chloride Of lime Is being
largely purchased, and Is rs cents per 100
pounds higher. Carbolic acid crystals have
advanced from 25 to 80 per cent. There Is
considerable buying by France In England
also.

he looks with especial disfavor on the Demo
cratic party now that Grover Cleveland is its
candidate.

gone by default, has been renewed, and

fact greatly encourages the liberal Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, who are acting to-
