The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-09-06

Coal CENTER, PA. Sept. st is
thought by many that the trouble on
the river is fast drawing to close
and unless there Is a general move
ment among operators to introduce
Hungarian miners, matters will
have assumed such shape before
another week that the services Of
Sheriff Chambers and deputies will
no longer be required. The strikers
have not intertered with non union
workmen since Saturday and more
men are are at work to-day than for
two weeks Efforts to establish
camps at Courtney and Coal Bluff
are failure so far. There is not
over half q dozen men at the former
and about twenty at the latter place.
About twenty Hungarians are at
work in Neel's mines In ,he third
pool. Their presence caused great
Indignation and should any more
put in an appearance, miners are lia-
be to revolt. Miner officials are con-
sidering the advisability of calling q
convention at MOnongahela City on
Monday next to discuss the situation.

lows:

IN the association. Mr.. Boland has
been the presiding officer for the past
three terms. This shows in what
he Is held by his fellow

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-.law Clerk
st. John of the General Land Office,
who was detailed to investigate
fraudulent entries IN southeastern
Colorado, reports he found q number.
Fraudulent entries were discovered
north Of Trinidad, Colorado, IN Las
Animas county, Colorado. Mr.. st.
John says he found at least 100, 600
acres of public land fenced in with
barbed wire. These cases have
already been reported to the depart
ment. Hall s. Barrilla have thus en-
closed an area ten miles square, and
Thompson, another cattle man
has enclosed q tract six by ten
miles in extent. Great hardship
to settlers and delay in traffic and
mail transportation result from these
unlawful enclosures of the public do
main. The penalty inflicted by
stockmen upon persons who dare to-
cut these fences or leave gates open is
death, and upon many such fences
are to be found signs reading "cut
this fence and buy your coffin"
The herders are usually Mexlcans of
the lowest class and the person who
ventures to transgress the rule and
cut fences is shot down by one of
tn em and the detection of the assassin
is almost impossible.

Bayard's Speech in 1861.

On June q, 1861, two months after
the attack on Fort Sumpter, Mr..
Thomas F. Bayard, now . canidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, delivered speech at
Dover Delaware. In the course of
that speech he made use of the fol-
lowing language: "Shall we make
war upon and subjvgute this new
c0nfederacy, or shall we peacefully
treat with them and consend to their
sslf-government, trust in to time
which is the gret healer of all wrongs
and passions, to bring them again
voluntarily into q common govern
ment with us? Is such q war
necessary for the peace and happi-
ness of the Uni4ed statess ~** Why
may no two American confederate
acies exhist side by side without
conflict, each emulating the other in
the progress of ivllizatioD? With
such y sickening alternative as
civil war, why should not the ex-
pertinent at least be mades
I believe with the late Senator
Douglas that q war is disuni0n,
certain final, inevitable and, so
believing, I oppose it. 1 believe
emnly tnat the war inaugurated by
Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet is
worse than fruitless-than it will
b. more disastrous to the North
than to the South, and never will acc
mplish its p1ofessed object. =
Humane governments were ordained
for the happiness snd protection Of
society," If peace will restore and Sc
cure these blessings to the people
of the United States, even though
q number of their former associates
have gone of under . new and in
dependent organization in the name
of Heaven let US raise our voise for
it! Let us, fellow-men, follow
peace as our bright north star, whose
radiance may be mild, but never
delusive or uncertain. while In the
calamltes of war-and that worst of
wars acivil War-we shall only reach
BY sheer exhaustion the peace We can
now command in ten days by
treaty." Iii Ss.s .

Texas Republican Convention.

HOUSTON, Sept. 3.-The Republi-
can State convention re-assembled
this morning. Resolutions favoring
fusion with Greenbackers and Inde-
pendents and endorsing George
Washington Jones, independent can
didate for governor were tabled by q
test vote; 1O4 ayes to 279 noes. The
commmittee on resolutions then re-
ported the majority report. 1t de-
clares it inexpedient and impractica-
BILE, at this day, to place State
tichet in the field and recommend the
Republicans to aid all Independent
candidates for State offices favorable
to the defeat of the Democracy. The
minority report declares in favor of a
straight Republican State ticket, also
a Blaine and Logan electoral ticket.
A motion to substitute the minority
for the majority report excited an
angry debate. Without coming to q
vote the convention adjourned until
3 o'clock.

Salt Lake to give them q chance to

made the Montana boys an offer to

has been received from
the Red Stockings or any other kind
of stockings for the Butte boys to go
to Salt Lake. We guess they are q
little afraid of the boys in this lati-

graduated the Democratic party up.
on the certainty of success in No.
vember. Officers of the State com
mittee were made temporary officers.
Committees were appointed. Twen-
ty-two cities and 325 towns are re.
presented by 1850 delegates. JOuas
H. French was made permanent
chairman.
An informal vote was taken for
Governor. The chairman stated a
package of votes had been found so
closely put toge ther they must have
been cast by mistake. Col. Haggett
said the chair had very mildly desig-
mated as q mistake bunch of ballots
found by the committee. but every
one knew what such mistakes meant
in political conventions. A formal
ballot was then ordered and delegates
were required to pass over the stage
and deposit their votes with the
chairman and secretary. On this
formal ballot, VIM. Endicott was
nominated for Governor, receiving
385 votes of the 72l cast, or four votes
more than necessary to 2 choice.
The nomination was made unani-
NOUS and the ticket completed as
follows: Lieutenant Governor,
Jas. s. Grinnell Secretary of State,
jeremiah Crowley; Treasurer and
Receiver, General Charles Marsh;
Auditor, John Hopkins; Attorney
General, John w. Cummings. The
then adjourned.
The platform adopted congrat-
ulated the party on the brilliant
of the restoration of an
honest national government through
the election of Cleveland and Hen
bricks. and declares an unqualified
of the national platform. 1t
calls for war taxes In times OF war,
and peace taxes in times of peace,
with no vast surplus in the treasury
to excite the cupidlty or encourage
for an American
navy that shall not he q disgrace to
the country aud jeer and by.word
amongst the nations OF the earth; the
restoratian of our shipping so that
the products of our industries may be
horne in American vessels under the
stars and stripes. The nomination
of Blaine, according to the platform,
is a cause for humiliation; the noml-
nation of Cleveland cause for salts
faction: the nomination of Hendricks
a cause for congratulation. The
rights of labor ana EXTENDED suffrage
are also advocated.

In his address to Tilden said: '.The
National Democratic Convention ac-
cepted your declination and with
drawal from public life with reluc-
lance, and know the influence of
your example as q public officer
would not be lost. That example
was and will ever continue to largely
influence political parties in this
country for good. They have learned
from it that with chief executive
powers of sagacity, firmness and in
tegrity it is possible to secure what
the people of the United States have
practically l0st-an honest and
cheap administration of public af.

sir, when we add, that coupled with
this purpose to do you honor il an

phasize now and in coming years
and all along its march and line of

AN INSTRUCTIVE BOOK.
Thoughts on Daniel and the Reve-
1atiOn.

Mr.. w. Harper, who has just Ar
rived here from the Pacific coast,
will canvass the city for work bear
ing the above-named title. The
work is from the pen Of Mr.. Urlah
Smith, Professor Of Biblical Exegesis
in Battle Greek College. and is
spoken of as q BOOK which scientists,
historians, scripturists and all lovers
of good literature everywhere can
read with interest and profit. His
torically, it is book of great value.
The rise aud fall OF the four leading
kingdoms of the past are uniquely
presented at one view by Daniels
great image of gold, silver, brass and
iron. The reader is taken from
the days of the old Chaldean
empire, down through Medo-
Persia, Greece and Rome. He
is then carried through the dark
ages and the terrible French revo-
luton of 1888 to 1873 in which, for
the purpose of teaching mankind q
lasting lesson, the principles of inf
deity and merely human philosophy,
were suffered to come to maturity
and bear their baneful fruit. Our
own country and times are faithfully
considered and the advancement in
civilization truthfully and clearly
discussed. The work contains 81
pages, including the plates, isprinted
on fine paper; handsomely bound In
cloth, sheep and half morocco, and
sold at q price which makes it In
proportion to the amount Of matter
it contains, the cheapest subscription
book on the market. It should find q
place in every well selected library.
