The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-09-24

The nomination of Dean, of
Wickes, for Assessor. raised the six
and one-half feet of Milt Cooper's
anatomy half way to the ceiling,
when IN a fiery and narrowing
speech he denounced the proposed
scheme of the north side to give
every Office in Jefferson county to
mud-bedaubed, smoke-besmeared and
quartz-in-:heir-beard Wickesitcs. He
said he had n%ervousiy sat on his hard
bench and seen everything tossed to
WicKes and Comet, and witnessed
the, to him, self-satis6ed grins of ex-
ultati0n distorting the faces Of those
representatives, hence he would NOM
mate John Mcdonald. Mr.. 3. F.
Hoops, of Boulder Valley, was also
put in nomination, and after three
turns at the box gathered in the hon.
ors by one majority.
The torrents of logic and indigna-
ton poured out by Mr. Cooper washed
away some Of the. self hness
and from this on the delegates sat
quietly in the ocean of political mud
until the secretary called for nomina-
tons for coroner, the most import
ant officer to be elected next Novem-
Der. The present coroner. who was
in the convention, was forgotten or
ignored, and after twenty nomina-
tions and declarations it was left to
the Gel trail committee as was also
the county surveyor nomination.
The following is the ticket put in
the field, and may the Lord have
mercy upon them ana shriye them of
their manifold sins and teach them
to hereafter dodge the pitfalls of Re-
publicanism:
Councilman-F. w. Ellis, of JEFF
ferson City.
Assemblyman-Van H. Fisk, of
Bedford.
Clerk and Recorder-Charles E.
Stevens, of Wickes.
Sh.riff-Andrew McGee, of Greg
DRY.
Probate Judge-Wm. Noonan, of
Woodville.
Assessor-B. F. Hoops, of Lower
Boulder.
Treasurer I. N. Buck, of Jetfer-
son.
County Commissioner - J. E.
Dougherty, of R~adersburg.
Superintendent Of Schools-Dr. E.
J. Fletcher, of White Tail Creek.
Public Admlnistrator-M. D.Coop-
er, of Boulder City.
Exactly what will be done among
the disconnected partizans, who were
50 mercilessly slaughtered, can only
be predicted, but not asserted. Many
will 20 for the Democratic ticket, a
few will keep frigidly silent and 9th
ers will growl sufficiently to create
dissention among the faithful and
then vote the straight ticket.

GOO; but there are causes in this years
campaign which will act towards q
reduction of the usual large majOrl-
ties. Fusion between democrats and
greenbackers will cost us some votes,
but the prohibitiOnists will detract
very little from the republican VOTE"
"HOw is it that the prohibition vote
having carried the constitutional
amendment by $4,000 is not likely to
cut a figure in the presidential year,"
at is an off year," Gov. Gear replied.
prohibition strength might be fully
polled but in a presidential contest
the prohlbitionists withdraw into
party lines. That is the reasOn that
every indication shows that the pro-
hibition element will not affect the
result 5000 votes one way or
another"
"What is the prospect in con-
g%ressional districts?"
illusions have been made on the
congressman between the Butterflies
and democrats, and they are hoping
to carry the four districts now in
their hands and gain one. They won't
dc this. We are sure to regain either
the Fourth or Ninth district, and
from all indications. the Fourth. now
represented by Calamity Weller:
The Butler strength is, as a matter of
fact, very insignificant in Iowa. When
Butler passed through there making
his speeches, his appearance fell far
short of creating the sensation he had
apprehended."
LONDON, Sept. 22.-Shanghai dis
patches to the Times say: A new
complication has arisen in the
French = Chinese difficulty. The
blocking of the bay at the mouth of
Woo Sung river has been ordered by
the Chinese authorities, although a
passage for the ships Of neutrals is to
BE- left open. This action is due to
Chinese disbelief in the promises Of
the French. A yeritable panic pre-
walls in Shanghai AMI the merchants
of neutral powers have asked the
naval commanders of the powers to
take some action. The British con-
sui has advised the Chinese authori-
ties to obtain skilled English assist
ance to keep traffic open. Russian
cOnsuls have offered to protect
French interests wherever French
cOnsuls leave. The Russian fleet in
Chinese waters comprises n ron
clad, three cruisers, two p%rivateerS
and six gunboats. Three other iron
clads are expected to arrive. This
strength, in view of the smallness OF
the Russian interests IN China, is
considered significant.

Fine Specimens of Ore.

There are on exhibition in the
MINER office some specimens CT ore
from a mine, the Silver Bell, near
Radersburg, that are to be taken to
the exposition at New Orleans. The
BODY of ore in the mine is said to be
AZ tar as examined uniform. 1t as
says PIP ounces in silver, l! ounces
gold and 81 per cent. lead. It is a
good mine from any standpoint. We
guess the owner will take turn about
and work it one day for gold, the
next for silver and the third for lead.

School Election.

To-day from 2p. m. until 6 p. m.
the polls will be open at the Office Of
Judge E. A. Nichols for the purpose
of voting on the proposition to issue
bonds to the amount of $1,000 for the
purpose of building a school house at
or near the Utah & Northern depot.
Butte has never been backward about
atfording all possible facilities for
improving the public schools and the
vote, of course, will be for giving the
children at the depot an equal chance
with those in the other parts of this
school district.

ing: A. g. England, the well known
farmer below town, has threshed his
grain and reports the average of his
crop as 55.05 bushels of wheat to the
acre and SO bushels of oats, which is
as good a record as car probably be
found anywhere. The Deer Lodge
New North Westla last week reported
that Pat Toner, of that county, had
nine acres yielding 81 bushels to the

ST. JOINS, N F., Jan. 1O-Hugh W. Hawk
ms, marshal of the Orange procession at the
time of the Harbor Grace riot, gave testimony
to-day. He said the Orangemen had not eX-

procession came near the opposing party that
four of the latter carried guns and others were
armed with sticks. The witness did not know

weapon in the hand of constable Doyle. 1t will

Doyle fired the first shot killing Callahan.

fired, and soon after two more. All five
were fired by the Riverhead party. Then two
guns were fred from the Orange party. He saw
a man kneel and take aim, and one of the River

would be married Immediately. The lady identi-
