Base Ball.

Yesterday the boys received mes
sage from the Salt Lake club which
looks something like business. 1t
runs after this order: If the Butte
nine will 60 to Salt Lake their fare
going and coming and their hotel
bill will all be paid by the Salt Lake
club. If the Butte boys get two games
out OF the three they shall have $lOO
additional-S50 to be given by the
Salt Lake base ball club and $50 by q
certain business man in that city. If
our club goes and loses two games
out of three the boys had better not
come back to Butte. The tempera-
ture will be hot for them when they
return.

DEER LODGE, sept. "a. 1851.
The most important matter worth
chronicling from Deer Lodge in this
communication, is the result of the
Democratic County Convention,
which was held here yesterday
Numerically, it was one of the largest
conventions that ever convened in
this county-116 delegates being pres
ent; and more harmonious body OF
men never assembled anywhere.
At 10 o'clock the convention was
called to-order by R. s. Kelley, Sec
retary of the Central Committee, DR..
Mitchell, chairman of same being all
sent on professional business. John
R. Quigley was elected temporary
chairman, and Addison Smith, secre-
tary, with Mr.. F. r. Brown, as
sistant.
Upon motion the reporters of the
press present were admitted to seats
at the secretary's table.
A committee on credentials being
appointed, it was ascertained that the
Pioneer delegates had not yet arrived
when, upon motion, recess was
taken till 2 o'clock p. m.
RECESS.
On reassembling a committee on
permanent organization and order of
business, and also one on resolutions
were appointed, when short recess
was taken to await their reports,
which were soon forthcoming, passed
upon and adopted.
DR.. Mitchell, who had by this time
reached the convention, was made
permanent chairman, the two tenn
porary secretaries being continued in
their seats.
The convention was now In good
running order, and nominations for
sheriff being in order, James B. Nc
Masters, present incumbent, Thomas
McTague and n. Dickinson were
placed in nomination.
First Ballot.-McMasters, IS; Nc
Tague, 36; Dickenson, 20.
Second ballot-McMasters, So: Nc
Tague "a; Dickinson, 26.
Third ballot-McMasters, 56; Nc
Tague, IS; Dickinson, %.
Fourth ballot-McMa sters, 50; Nc
Tague, "a; Dickinson, 21.
1t appearing that 50 votes was a
majority of the delegates present,
Sheriff McMasters was declared the
nominee. Mr.. McTague and Mr..
Dickinson at this point came forward
and thanked their friends for the
support they had received at their
hands, and pledged themselves to
stand firm by their successful COM
petitor. This caused loud cheering
throughout the hall.
The next order of business was the
nomination of treasurer. Hon r.
G.. Humber was nominated by ac-
clamation amid much enthusiasm.
For county assessor the following
were placed il nomination: J. B.
Bailey, Wellington Napton, Charles
Hardenbrook and J. c. Uhl. The
First ballot resulted as follows:
Bailey, so; Hardenbrook, AZ; Nap
ton, g.. Mr.. Bailey was declared the
nominee.
For clerk and re ,order w. F. Shan
ley and Nick Conley were nominated.
Mr.. Stanley received 81 votesto Mr.
Conley's 80 on the first ballot and
was declared the nominee.
For probate judge Mr.. Durfee, of
Philipsburg, was nominated on the
first ballot.
For public administrator Frank
Brown was nominated on the first
turn out of the box.
For county commissioners Messrs.
John Y. Batterton, of Deer Lodge
and James DuBey, of Anaconda, were
the choice of the convention.

OUR HELENA LETTER.

Delegate. e.Maginnls.-AT Talk
With Mr.. TooIe.-The
Views of Each on
the Delegate
Question.
! Special Correspondence of the MINER.
HELENA, Sept. %, 1884.
| POLITICS
is now the all-absorbing theme in
Helena. The Democratic county
| ticket is strong one and is sure to
win if confidence and zeal can ac-
complish that end. Jim Halford, the
nominee for sheriff, Was formerly q
resident of Butte. Your correspond
ent yesterday met Delegate Maginnis.
He was averse to talking politics and
said he did not desire to take any
hand in the campaign this year ex-
cert as priv ate citizen interested in
securing an efficient representative
in Congress.
"Do you concede the right of the
West Side to name the delegate this
yearo' asked the reporter.
Eyes was the reply, "but have
no further opinion to express before
the Territorial Convention meets. l
shall be for the party's choice"
(which of the West Side Demo-
Gratis do you prefer as your sue
cesSor:'
EITHER Sam Word or G. w. Sta
pleton. Mr.. Word could have Sc
cured the united support of the north
ern and eastern Montana delegations
had he made the slightest effort, and
could have received the nomination,
but lie refused to make any efforts in
that direction. l am afraid it is now
too late, and the prospects 1 think
now favor Mr.. Stapleton, the candi-
date whose claims have been ad-
vanced by the MINER"
"What about Mr.. Toole??'
II have not word to say against
Mr.. Toole. He is a bright and de-
serving young man."
'Do you think the relative strength
of the two parties has changed since
you were last elected?'
"The Democratic majority may be
somewhat reduced but still the
Democratic vote this year will be
larger than it was in 'S2, because the
Democratic nominees will carry the
full party vote in Silver Bow, Gala
tin and Deer Lodge counties. i'll
had done that two years ago my ma
jority would have been $500 at the
least.'
"Will you be candidate before the
convention"
"Under no circumstances what
ever.'
Your correspondent also met Mr..
J. X. Toole, but he refused to say
very mucn except 10 aVOW MS canui-
dacy. He said:
II want the nomination if the con-
vention will give it to me. [ make
no secret of my wishes. If l am
beaten, will be beaten in the COM
vention. shall make AL open fight
for the nomination.
'Do you expect any aid from Mr..
Houser:'
"No; neither do | look for any ac-
tive opposition. It will simply be
necessary for me to sail my own boat
and if the political weather is unpro-
pitious l shall lay to, close reefed. and
wait for favoring gales, in the mean
time doing all l can for the success

would be ready for use and he
would talk further with him, he
dismissed him.

whom he related the circumstances

Make tRe Best of Life.

What's the use of always frettlng
over ills that can't be cured?
What's the use of finding fault with
What we know must be endured?
Does it make our burdens lighter

Does it make life's pathway smoother
If we fret about the road?
Better use our time than fill ii
Full of signs and vain regrets
over some imagined blunder-
AS does he who always frets.
We cannot expect life's pathway
To be always strewn with flowers;
Nor the time which God has given
To be all made of happy hours.
Storms will follow every sunshine,
Grief be mixed with every Joy;
And It's best that it should be So

How to Be a Man.

Not long since a boy OF some "
years of age called on merchant
doing large business ia New
York. He was rather poorly clad
and showed evidence of pretty
hard work, but his face indicated
honesty and common sense with a
firm and energetic manliness under
the somewhat rude exterior. When
at liberty the merchant said,
well, my young friend, what can
do for you ?"
81 called, SIR" he replied, ITO
ask you for situation as an en-
gineer. was told you were hav-
ing new engine built, and I want
you to give me the place. I'd like
to run it for you"
Are you an engineer" asked
the gentleman.
"No, sir; but l can be-" he an
swered, setting his lips firmly TO-
gether, standing squarely before
the gentleman and looking him
fairly in the face. 81 don't under
stand the business we'll; l know
something of it though. But l
can be an engineer-and will be !;
and l wish you would give me a
chance"
His modest and determined man
ner pleased the merchant. He was
having new engine built for a
certain department of his business,
and could OF course have as many
experienced operators as he desir-
cd: 1t was no object to him to
take an inexperienced boy and at
tempt to train him-no object ex-
cept to help the boy. Such deeds
ne was noted fora fact which had
no doubt encouraged the boy to
make this application.
What are you doing now?" he
inquired.
Working in a machine shop in
Brooklyn. [ have been fireman,
and have often worked the engine.
L think could get along pretty
well with one now, if anybody
would have Little patience with
me-"
What wages do you get ?"
-Four dollars a week, SIR
What do you do with your mon
ey?"
Give it to my mother, sir"
Give it to your mother?
Homph! What does your mother
DO with it?"
well, you see, there is mother
and sister and me; mother takes
IN sewing, but it goes pretty hard,
you know. They don't give much
Tor sewing, and it's pretty hard
work too. And then with all the
other work she has to do, you
know, she can't get along very
last, at any rate, SO I help all |
can. If | could get an engineers
place, | could get more wages, and
1t would make it easier for mother"
"How do you spend your even
lngs Z" asked the gentleman.
