Theatre ComlQue.

The Theatre Comique was crowded
last evening, the special attractions
being Master Belzac on the slack
wire and Miss Nelson with her
trained doves, dogs and parrot. Mas
ter Belzac's performances were re-
ally surprising, and considering his
age-only II years-they were truly
marvellous. Miss Nelson's act with
her educated animals cannot be
described. 1t Is we'll worth the
price of admission to see it. All the
objection which could made against
the performances last evening was
their length. Many left before the
curtain dropped.

ing of the feeling in Eastern Montana
over the action of the recent Terri

This remark made by q. Republican,
APPLY illustrates the condition eff af-
fairs in Eastern Montana. Primaries
and conventions were held, where
the freest expression vas had. With
a unanimity rarely seen and with
overwhelming majorities, Col. Eaton
was designated as the choice of the
Republicans of Eastern Montana
Generally speaking minorities
yield to the will of the majority
and then all unite upon the
expressed wish of the party; not SO,
however, in this case. Those who
were defeated here exercising an in
fuence they had with delegates else
where than in Gallatin county. so
worked upon members outside, as to
create the impression that they had
| been slaughtered unfairly and by
this means brought their man before
the convention. The leader of the
Gallatln county delegation, honestly
deserving to Iebuke such interfer-
ence with the expressed will of the
county, was choked off by
a. gag rule, and was not heard
on this point. They will have
cause to remember this and can read
lily recognize whose handwork it is,
and while the minority have not
helped their cause at all, they have
worked an injury from which they
cannot recover. They may vainly
dream that they have secured an
Edmunds man, in lieu of the one
they put up, but in this they will
find they are mistaken, but they have
as said above, given q blow to East
ern Montana from which 1t will not
soon recover. They have used The
knife but they will awaken to a reali-
cation that the scalpe! will be used in
return.
Democrats can't draw worth q

while Democrats are good runners,
they can't draw duece high in =

Some More Complications.


There is secret history connected with the
meeting OF business men In New York which en-
dersed President Arthur for denomination. The
original plan had an entirely different object in
view The idea Of holding business meeting was,
it Is said, first conceived by Mr. Conkling. and the
man to be endorsed was q. S. Grant. This was the
plan and understanding so often and mysteriousy
referred to by Mr. BelfOrd OF Colorado, who is ac-
credited with being in the confidence of Mr. Conk-
ling The design was to conceal the real object of
the meeting until the last moment. and then, all of
sudden, as II by enthusiastic impulse, go over
to Grant with a rush This result was looked for
by Grants friends, and they were completely be-
wildered when they lost control OF the scheme and
the meeting was called and Arthur endorsed The
failure OF Grant Ward is given as the cause of the
failure OF the plan, as Grants presidential chances
were buried In the ruins Of his bank The Grant
men are now at sea without compass, and badly
scattered BelfOrd wrote to COnkl1ng day before yes
terday asking for an explanation OF the situation,
and for some instructions to what Is to be DONE
but has not yet received reply. The statement
that both COnkling and Grant have gone over to
Blaine puzzles and bewilders those who were on
the inside OF the scheme, and they are waiting to
hear from COEkling directly, when they will prOba-
bly, follow his lead. They say in confidential
whisper that they do not believe that Conkling has
gone FOR Blaine unless the plans have been entirely
changed. They say that the move will be in rather
another direction and that the man who will re-
ceive the support OF the Grant and COnkl1ng ele-
ment, and who Will get the nomination at Chicago,
is Justice Miller, Of the United States Supreme
Court.
