In the hurry-scurry of hasty Charcoal
Sketching last week we aforementioned
to note the handsome response to call
on Register Langhorne at the Press
Banquet. Like everything he does, Mr.
L. did his duty nobly on the occasion,
and his auditors, while regretting the
absence of Mrs. L., rejoiced also that her
absence prevented his getting his coat
twitched with the admonition to sit
down and don't make Congressman of
yourself" We omitted too the happy
impromptu response of Mr.. Fee when

proposed. Mr.. F. has been with itsince,
as a Bostonian once wrote, 1t was like
the broad highway that started vest
ward in New England and diminishing
as it crossed the continent dwindled
down to a squirrel track in Oregon and
ran up tree" He gave some very in
teresting facts incidental to the pleas
antrieg of his remarks mentioning among
others that the Northern Pacific now
had $500 miles ofroad and that the aggre-
gate passenger traffic last year was co.
100000 miles, whereupon. having made
connection with the sun, the company
concluded to return and drive the Cascade
tunnel. We have to admit, too, that the
flashing eyes and radiant loveliness of

our vision and memory of other attrac-
tons that we did not mention the elegant
floral decorations furnished by Messrs.
Tracy 4 Gates for the occasion From
the neat boutonnieres to the immense
flower pieces that decorated the tables
ell were in exquisite taste and very
creditable to the florists. And now if
aught is left untold it must be attributed
to the sparkling of the goblets Of water
that stood between Major Walker and

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican County Convention
held in Bozeman last Saturday was one
of the extraordinary events Of an event
full year. The clans gathered early in
the day, caucused in the usual way and
to an outsider the preliminary work
seemed to go happily forward toward
harmonious convention. But this calm
was ominOus. The acts of the body
are before our readers, and from this re-
port it will be seen that after being de-
feated in the first skirlnish the Boze-
man delegation refused to take part in
the deliberations of the convention.
From that time forward the convention
was in the hands of John Potter, who
sacrificed the interests of his party to
gratiiy his spite and humiliate his an
tagonists. The cause of the dls-afection
was undoubtedly brought about by the
tenor of the resolutions, which were
promulgated by those opposed TO that
element they are pleased to call the
Bozeman "ring." From inside sources
we learn that the Livingston delegation
only asked for three offices, and if this
be true, there was nothing unreasonable
in their demands. 1t is hard for us to
ascertain the true incubus of this un'
seemly wrangle, and until we are en-
Iightened must forbear to place the
blame upon either faction. The result
Of this convention is not with out its
lessons to the Democratic party and
should be followed by the nomination
of the party's best men. Men for whom
we do not have to offer an apology either
in behalf of their capabilities or person
al habits. Democrats be cool, use your
best judgement, give each section rea-
sonable representation and victory is
yours. We will review the Republican
ticket at future time.

At 7 o'clock promptly the chair called
for the reports of the committees. Re-
port on credentials received and adopted.
Committee on permanent organization
recommended John Potter as permanent
chairman, and w. +. Thompson, secre-
taTy.
The report of the committee on reso-
buttons was forthcoming for the space OF
several minutes, .during which time a
motion to sing an ode would undoubt-
edly have been carried by reclamation;
John Potter finally entered the hall,
bearing in his hand the important docu-
ment. He presented it to Messrs. Eaton
and Ferris for their signatures, both OF
whom declined to sign or even read it.
The chair then proceeded to introduce
permanent chairman, when it was sug-
gested bv Mr.. Cox that the report be
frat adopted. His suggestion was car
ried
Mr.. Potter was then introduced, and
in the hushed silence which followed,
"for reasons best known to himself" and
a glance at the Bozeman delegation
which was paralyzing, respectfully de-
clined.
John V. Bogert was mentioned. He
promptly declined. Chair said he was
somewhat embarrassed. and asked that
the convention nominate a chairman.
Major Pease suggested Major Eaton.
Eaton declined because he had had no
time to prepare presentation address.
Laughter from one side of the house,
whereupon DR.. Grant moved that tempo
rary chairman act as permanent chair
man. This brought the intrepid chair
man to his feet, and with countenance
sufficient to petrify milestone, elevated
his voice until he made the welkin ring.
We regret that our shorthand notes of
this speech, taken at the time, have be
come entirely illegible. and at the hour
of going to press have become a black
mass, and in many places have torn the
paper il their evident desire to express
full measure of their emphatic indig-
nation. But from memory we recall the
fact that the chair said he was aston
ished at the actions of some menl "a
hard look at the Bozeman delegationl
There were men who were ready to sac
rifice men as long as they themselves
were pleased He despised their honorsl

glass houses, etc.l Sorry he stood in the
way, and that men had to be humiliatcd.
He was republican. [Great applause
After what had been said. Mr.. Bogert
Indignantly declined to further act as
secretar7. considering it disgrace if he
acted" [Applause.]
Col. Eaton suggested that the demo-
cratic friends in the rear keep quiet, and
allow the republicans to worry through
with their little differences.
Berg said it seemed to him that I'VE
are having a repetition Of two years ago.
The erudite observation found respons-
i've chord and was generally applauded.

'At the siege of Belle Isle,

And the balls few mile,
And the balls killed cbile!'
The republican convention was called
t. order at 4:30 on Saturday afternoon
last, by Hon. Geo. D. Thomas, chairman
county central committee. j. Bogert,
secretary, read the calls for the territor-
ial and county conventions.
This being concluded, John Potter of
Moreland, name not altogether I'M
familiar to the politics Of this county,
promptly arose and asked that Geo. D.
Thomas be made the temporary chair
man, whereupon Major Eaton of Cooke
City arose and interrupted the gentle
man from Moreland, and placed in NOM
ination Peter Koch of Bozeman, moving
that the chairman of each delegation be
empowered to cast the vote of his dele
CATION, viva voce. Potter amended the
motion-that each delegate should arise
and declare his choice. The Major ac-
cepted the amendment, and after consid-
cradle delay, parleying and indecision,
Eaton and Potter were appointed telIers
The delegates with the list of their dele
CATION, read the names, and each man
declared his choice as his name was
called. There were 81 votes cast, of
which Thomas received SO and Koch Is.
The announcement of the vote elected
great applause from the delegation from
Livingston, but was received with omin-
GUS quietude by the members of the
Bozeman delegation and their five coad-
tutors, among whom Major Eaton was
prominent.
Potter moved that committee OF five
on credentials 5e appointed. Tie mo-
ton was about to be put, when Mr.
Thomas, reaching deep into his coat
pocket, pulled out several pages of man
uscript, which he proceeded to read
extemporaneously! This speech patted
the laboring ,class on the back, and was
remarkable in many ways. We regret
that, upon the motion of Mr. Potter
only the leading republican paper Of
the county" is allowed to present it to
a waiting world.
Potter renewed his motion to appoint
committee on credentials, committee on
permanent organization, order of bust
ness and resolutions, to report in order
named Carried.
Chair asked for recess until seven
o'clock to prepare committees. Koch
asked that it be made fifteen minutes
when the committees could be an
nounced and the convention could then
adjourn until seven o'clock. Mr.. Koch's
motion prevailed.
The chair announced the following as

Berg moved that an executive COM
mittee of three residents of Bozeman be
appointed to manage the election-to be
under the control of the central com
mittee. The motion was carried and the
chair at once appointed Geo Nichols, Co.
May and Geo. Barnaby as such committee
This was too much for the Bozeman
delegation who, following the lead of
Col. Ferris walked out, remarking that
the last act was the cap sheaf of a sue
cessful farce. Just why the Bozeman
delegates should act in this undignified
manner the reporter was at loss to
know. The convention had come to q
happy termination and although six
hours in session had produced ticket
that is the wonder of the world We
were panied to see such demonstrations
of disgust as exhibited by the Bozeman
delegation. Nothing but envy and de-
sire on the part of its members to
place, Bozeman man in nomination

to act in such an unseemly manner
toward Jno. Potter's convention.
