THE OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN"
The Republicans of the City get Together
and hold a sort Of a "What-was-lt 2"


and hold a sort Of q "What-was-lt 2"
Directly after the Democrats of this
county held their ratification meeting,
the Republicans of Bozeman concluded
10 follow suit with a meeting to take place
one week thereafter. The announce.
ments were duly made and the event
occurred according to advertisement last
Saturday night at spieth & Krug's Hall,
which was brightly lighted and tasteful
ly decorated.
The prominent speakers" advertised
were Chas. Anceney, Frank Henry,
Peter Koch W. W. Anderson, D. C. Camp
bell, c. A. Carson, and Cal. Edwards.
OF these only four showed up, In the
persons of Messrs. Anceney, Campbell,
Anderson and Edwards.
At the appointed hour the band play
ed a selection or two in front of the hall,
by the light of a dismal bon fire which
almost failed to perform the work requir-
ed of it. The hall was comfortably filled
and a few ladies' were noticeable, sprink-,
led here and there IN the audience. Col.
Ferris, chairman Of the county central
committee, called the meeting together
by stating, sarcasticaIly, that he was not
a German Silver Orator." and would
call on Mr.. Hartman to conduct the bust.
ness before the meeting. 1t was expect
ed that Mr.. Hartman would do so by a
brief prayer, by those who had momen.
tarilly forgotten the purposes of the meet
ing, but unfortunately he did not. He
called on d. G. Campbell to address the
assembIage. In the meantime, Mr.. New.
ton, had been asked to join the grave
looking p%ersonages on the front bench.
Mr.. Carson was called for, but the same
answer was returned to the caller that is
returned to those who seek Mr.. Carson
at his Office, Not in"
MIR, Campbell was in good voice. He
called attention to the fact that Mr..
Cleveland, after delivining his tariff
message and letter of acceptance had
never a word to say. While Mr.. Harri.
son, the Republican nominee was talk
ing all the time. This, evidently, did
not correspond with Mr.. Campbell's idea
of a candidate. He, no doubt, believes
that a candidate should leave his office
and hustle for votes. Mr.. Campbell
stated that he had nothing to say on
the tariff question and would not further
worry the audience. and so, sat down.
At this juncture Col. Ferris left the
stand and took a position near the stove
where he could lead the applause by
hammering on stove drum.
Chas. Anceney was then call on. Mr..
Anceney said that it was becoming more
popular nowadays to vote for the best
man on the two tickets, q move which
he endorsed. He then reviewed the
history of the territory dwelling at s,me
length on the Indian wars of this coun-
try. Mr.. Anceney briefly alluded to MIR.
Carter in a pleasant manner, also to Major
Maginnis and Joe. Tools. which elicted
applause. Mr.. Anceney then retired
