The workingnen, Through Their
Chosen SpOkesmen, Repudiate
Blaine and Butler.

New York, Aug. "a delegation of
workingmen, composed Of J. A. Thomp-
son, president of the Car Drivers union;
~. Cavanaugh. president Of the Engin-
GERS union; B. Mahill, president of the
Brass Workers union; and A. A. Casey,
president. and r. O. Ferrier, secretary Of
the Independent labor party, have pre-
sented to the National Democratic COM
mittee the following answer to state
ments made in Gen. Buffers letter Of &C
ceptance:
1--WE desire to correct the statement
made by Gen. Butler that the Denocra-
tic convention at Chicago refused to in
sert in its platform single demand Of
the workingmen or plank in the inter-
est of labor. Their committee on resolu-
tons granted hearing to the commit
tees of the workingmen, one from the
national labor party, another from the
federated trades union, and third com
mittee of New York working'nen, and
inserted in the platform every measure
demanded by the bonafide representa-
tives of labor. We also wish t. correct
the misstatement that Gov. Cleveland
has failed to carry out these pledges in
the platform of 1882. The opposite is
the CASE Every measure demanded by
the workingmen has been granted de-
spite the action and earnest opposition of
the Republican legislature, and by his
efforts more has been granted to the
workingmen in the way of practical
legislation, than has been done by all the
labor unions or political parties from the
Declaration of Independence to this day.
Every measure asked for by the anti
Monopoly league and the Labor party Of
this state, as inserted in the Democratic
platform of 1882, has been granted, and
Grover Cleveland and the Democratic
party of this state can honestly claim the
merit Of inaugurating all the measures
that have been taken up by other state
legislatures and passed to the great bene-
fit Of the working classes and incorpGra-
ted IN the national platforms Of the De-
mocratic and Republican parties. AS for
the great outcry made over the vetoes of
the scent fare bill, the mechanics lien
bill and the car drivers bill, it is suflici-
ent to say that not one of these bills was
prepared or presented to the legislature

but all were measured by and i'll the in

WATER RIGHTS.

There is no more vexed question,
which confronts the farmer than that of
water supply, and next to that, the title
to the same Our laws recognize the
right Of the prior appropriation, to the
extent of his appropriation, and even
then the amount is limited to the actual
requirements, but then the question of
who is the prior appropriation may yet
become difficult to prove unless some
steps are taken to make such a:propria-
ton matter of record. The proof now
depends simply upon oral evidence.
There may be plenty of living witnesses
to-day who can prove the time of ap-
preparation, but those witnesses cannot
always live, neither can the ditch itself
show exactly how old it is. No one can
tell after very few years, which is the
older Of two bitches. What then should
be done? We suggest that the farmers,
and the same may al ply to those who
are engaged in mining, that they see to
it, that the persons they send to the
Legislature be authorized and instructed
to draft such a law as will enable them
at any time to refer to the records of the
county, to establish a claim to water.
Every other evidence must, as we said,
in the nature of things perish, and such
titles should be made as secure as the
title to the land. What would we think
of system by which -he title to our
real estate was held upon such slim
showing. Water is as essential to farm.
ing in this Territory, as the land itself,
and the right to it should he as safely
guarded and protected.

result Of a canvass in New York. A can

600 Republicans have been found who

PRIMARIES.

Bear in mind that on next Monday,
primaries will be held in the different
voting precincts of Gallatia county. at
wiiirli will In selected delegates 10 the
county convention, to he held on the
18th inst. More importance attaches to
the primary meetings than is usually &C
corded them. 1t is here where the most
effective work must be done. If no at
tention is paid to them, as is frequently
the case, men are sent to the county
convention who do not fully represent
the party or the precinct, and as con-
sequence nominations are made which
are not acceptable to the people. In
county politics, it is safe to say, that the
party which puts up the men best quail
fed and best suited for the position will
carry the day. Material of the best kind
is.not lacking, and the interests of the
people demand that none but the best be
selected. To do this, it becomes a neces-
sity to select at the primaries men of
sound sense and judgment, and those
who are thoroughly identified with the
interests Of the county. Men, who when
they put their heads together, " i'll select
ticket worthy to command, not only a
partisan support. but the respect and
confidence of those politically opposed to
them and with such ticket, success is
practically assured. Make an effort,
therefore to attend the primaries and
select your best men. 1t is important.

The Bozeman Chronicle seems dissat-
satisfied with the apportionmcnt to the
County Democratic Convention. We
had expected it. Knowing the control
exercised over the Chronicle, nothing
else could be sup posed. We need not re-
ply to the unreasoning statements urged
against the apportionment Livingston
Enterprise.
Will the Enterprise enlighten us as to
who controls the CHRONICLE, if not the
one whose name appears at the head of
this paper. 1t is question Of figures,
gentlemen, and if the result of the cleo
ton shows that we were wrong, we will
admit our mistake. We are not alone by
large majority in thinking the appor-
tionment is wrong, and when the central
committee made it, we demurred.
When the apportionment was made
for the constitutional convention, the
same committee gave Livingston too
small an apportionment, and the editor
of the Enterprise knows. that we did all
we could to correct it, and advised the
people Of Livingston to send as many as
they thought they were entitled to, and
we would do our best to see that they
had justice. We were in that conven-
ton, and as chairman of the committee
on credentials, reported in favor of seat
ing all the Livingston delegates, and it |
was done. They did not clai'u then as
many in proportion as they now get UNI /
der this apportionment. We did this,
too, in response to letter from one of
the prOprietors of the Enterprise, and
they should be the last to accuse us of |
any unfairness in this matter. We re-
peat that we are guided simply by what
we believe to be justice in the matter
and no more. We scorn any petty adj
for mere temporary gain, and If
The result of the fall elections shall
that Livingston was en-
titled to them, we shall acknowledge our
mistake publicly, and hereafter, if by
my reason of greater vote, she is en-
tiled to more than Bozeman, we shall

The .t.te election in Maine comes off

The state election in Maine comes off
next Monday. No one we presume
doubts hut that the Republicans will
carry it. Mr.. Blaine has joined hands
with the Prohibitionists in that state
where they are strong and superhuman
efforts are being made to carry it by a
larger majority than usual. 1t would be
a matter Of surprise indeed, if it did not
90 largely Republican and were it other
wise the campaign for President would
be practically useless. It is also Mr..
Blaine's state and that will cut some
figure in the matter. The causes how
ever which will lead to large vote for
him in Maine, (the prohibition vote) will
lose him a great many thousand else
where in November.

None of the Montana newspapers, and
not even the officials of the road at St.
Paul, seem to have taken note of the
fact that Friday last, the 22d, was the
first anniversary ofthe completion of the
Northern Pacific as through transcon-
tinental road. On that day Of last year
nine miles and 300 feet of track were
laid to complete the line at Last Spike
Station, west of Garrison. The memor
able Last Spike celebration did not take
place until September 8th.--Enterprise.
This seems little strange, as many
citizens, who were guests on September
9Th have occasion to remember the day
of fasting and humiliation; of dav and
a night spent on the cars without any
thing to eat but a crust and some not
even that.

WORLD INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

The Commissioners for Montana to the
World Industrial and Cotton Exposition
which will be opened at New Orleans
December LIST, 1884, and continue six
months, being DESTROYS that our Terri
tory shall be represented in fitting
manner at this, to be the grandest exhi-
bition that the world has yet seen, and
believing that our ,lnequaled mineral
wealth and other resources may be pub
lished to the world in manner that will
insure great benefits to Montana, as well
as the country at large, to more fully ac-
complish this purpose, have deemed it
wise to select in each county two local
commissioners, whose knowledge of their
own county's resources will enable them
to assist materially In securing favor
able exhibit therefrom. To this end the
Commissioners have requested Col Geo.
O. Eaton and S. W. Langhorne to act as
such local Commissioners for Gallatin
County. They have also arranged with
Mr. J. B. Read, to make a canvass of the
Territory for the purpose of collecting in
formation t. be printed in pamphlet
firm for distribution and also for collect
ins and arranging for transportation ar
ticles for exhibition In addition to this
in order to make a creditable display,
and as tie means al their disposal are
inadequate to make and maintain an ex-
hibit commensurate with the extent and
Importance of our resources, they call up
on the generous citizens of the Territory
to subscribe to a fund for that purpose
and hope that the next Legislature will
make such an appropriation as will cover
the amount subscribed in which event
the money will be returned to the sub
scribers. Three thousand dollars in the
aggregate is the amount asked for, and it
is a small sum for Montana to contribute.
We have now an opportunity such as is
seldom offered, and where the returns
promise to be SO large. The local COM
approaching the advantages
to be derived from thorough exhibit
and consequent advertisement of the re-
sources Of Montana, call upon all citizens
to aid them in every manner possible.
To that end, they invite samples of all
kinds of ore, grain and other products,
which can be conveniently handled. The
building Of the Northern Pacific has |
made Montana widely known, and it |
needs but little exertion on our part to |
make it known to such degree as to in |
vite good class of settlers and build up |
our country at trifing expense. We
hope our people will look at this matter
in its proper light, and do all they can
to aid the commissioners. Any COM
munications, samples, etc, addressed to
Col. Eaton or S. w. Langhorne, will have
proper attention. It will be impossible
or either of us to devote time exclusive
y to this object, and our labors can be
much facilitated by your hearty coop
ration.
