one solitary. lone cheer could DO raised
during all this time and the Helena gen
tleman alighted at the hotel amid a ST.
lence that WAS as thick as the traditional
Darkness of Egypt. Whereupon he has
tiiy jumped into d carriage and was
driven to the Mayors house. Thus
ended part first,
The meeting was advertised to come
off at eight o'clock. Accordingly a con-
siderable gathering of people, mostly
ladies', met at the hall, sat and shivered.
1t was after nine o'clock when the band,
delegation from Livingston and the
torch bearers Rrriyed at the hall,
Col, Ferris calIcdthe meeting to order
and named the vice presidents, who
were asked to take seats on the grand
stand. He announced that ]. Y. Bogert
had been made chairman, and requested
the meeting to ratify which it did. Mr..
Bogeit said that Mr.. Hartman was TO
have made a speech, but owing to the
lateness of the hour, had withdrawn in
favor of others. W, W. Anderson was
called upon to speak and did 30. Mr..
Alderson's speech was mainly eulogistic
of Mr.. Carter. He said that Carter had
grown up with the people of this country,
a statement which is not borne out by
history which states that Mr. Carter came
here with the railroad, and was old
Anderson being an old timer himself
imagines that all other candidates are.
Mr.. Anderson said that Carter paid more
attention to his brains than 10 the acqui.
sition of barrels and finally retired by
saving that views of the questions of the
day had been fully set forth in the q. +.
]. Col. Eaton of Park County, was the
next speaker. Now, it has commenced
to dawn on the minds of our people, that
whenever the Republicans of this coun-
ty feel a goBenesa, they send for Eaton.
He Is their physician. He Is appealed
10 for advice on every political occasion.
And when the conflict thickens he re-
spends 10 the loud cries of the political
weaklings and comes to their rescue In
person. lie stirs them up, gives them
confidence and tells them what to do.
This Moses will probably have to come
over a few times more before the cam
paign ends.
Mr. Eaton made a pretty speech regard.

then dipped gently into the political
crises brought about by the attitude Of
both National parties. He took up the
lead question in exactly the sahe vein

ing to his public speeches elsewhere and
quoted The well-worn figures of the Re-
publican Campaign Text book. He i'm.
piled that if this country sent Clark
whose interests are all in mines, TO Con.
gress, the country would go the demni-
iion bow wow and Cooke would not gel
a railroad, and wouldn't want any, if il
could get it, while, If Mr.. Carter, a Helena
lawyer, land an obscure one at that, un'
ill he tried this late experiment,) would
forever silence the Mills bill and the
mining interes SIS would get the benefit
of Mr.. Carter's legal ability. These are
not Mr.. Eaton's words, but ideas. He
, then took up Mr.. Toole on the WOO
question and proceeded to ~criticise thai
, g%entleman's arguments. After INDUCING
, in these preliminary fireworks, the
gallant Colonel then took up the matter

ence. Some time G the Democrats o
| this county passed a series Of original
, resolutions, composing their platform
1t is presumed that these resolutions
, not beng in due and ancient form such
as the Republicans have promulgated
J were at once sent to the Colonel, and
that he promised to come Overland reply
to them in person. Anyway, no Repub'
r lican here has ever breathed a word
: above q whisper in public regarding them
The Colonel, by the way, was careful
not to mention those paragraphs which
asked for better roads, toll bridges and
| pledged the Democracy to nominate
men who would attend To their dntie,
without compelling n clerk 10 do nil the
, work.
