Ramsey County Democrats Still
Living and Hoping.
Tonight conference is to be held
at the headquarters in the Grand opera
house block between the different DEM
Ocratic ward clubs of Ramsey county
and the executive committee of the
Ramsey County Democratic club. To
this conference each club has been in
vited to send ten delegates, these dele
gates to be admitted On tickets to be is
sued to them.
The Democrats of and supporting the
bOlting delegation to the state conven-
ton have held two conferences as to the
course to be pursued by them. A COM
mittee composed of lawyers is prepar-
ing the sworn evidence to be submitted
to the committee on credentials in the
state convention.
One of the boiling delegates to the
state convention said to the GLOBE yes
terday;
''To my mind the only hope that we
nave of getting seats in the convention
is that Kelly and Doran have control of
the convention.''
The original idea of the boiling dele
CATION to have a great street parade on
the morning of the state convention
appears to have been abandoned. 1t
was hoped at one time that with two
bands and big procession they might
impress the country delegates with an
idea OF their importance.
The reason for the abandonment of
the scheme is given as fear that the
parade might seriously lack in num-
berS and the effect of the thing be
against them in the end.

Scheffer's victory in Otter Tail has
given him a valuable start that Merriam
lacks.
The Merriam and McGilI men rub it
into each other over their Otter Tail
tiasco. This is the way they talked at
the Merchants yesterday:
McGill Ally-It is deuced bad thing
for Merriam that he was knocked out in
Otter Tail county.
Merriam Ally-It is good thing that
McGill got such a black eye in Otter
Tail county.
Scheffer Ally-I got the otter, let
them have the tail.
Warden Stordock was grievously dis
appointed over the result. He stated
some days before the convention that he
had private information that McGill
would carry the county. Now he Won
derS who lied.
Railroad Commissioner Gibbs feels
bad. The valuable time that he spent
IN the county doing work for McGill was
lost.
The statement published by the
GLOBE some weeks ago, that McGill
and Merriam had combined to carry the
county against Scheffer, turned out to
be true.
Merriam gilded the convention and
McGill operated the machine. Consid-
erable money was spent and many
pledges of Offices made. To the credit
of the farmer vote it did not bite, and
the plOtterS suffered an ugly defeat.

Monday night Gen. Barrett, Senator
Hiyon, Hon. Charles Canning, together
with a friend from Clay county and
number of local Republicans, held Sc
cret conference in this city, at which it
was decided to bolt Comstock.
Gen. Barrett was asked in regard to
this conference, and said as the reasons
for this action:
''We do not believe Comstock to be a
proper representative of the people of
the Fifth congressional district; that
we believe him to be in sympathy with
the corporations rather than the people.
and on that account we cannot support
him. Mr.. Canning we believe to be the

man, and worthy of the confidence of

to see him forward in opposition to Mr..

STANDING Rock AGENCY, Oak, Aug.
S.-The commission now at this agency
to obtain the consent of the Sioux In
dians to the opening of the reservation
deserves a medal for persistency and
tenacity. With the verdict of the In
dians, which has been so emphatically
rendered. the commissioners have de-
cided not to leave this agency. They
realize that unless they secure at least a
partial success here they have hope
less mission at the lower agencies and
will remain here to prosecute their work
among the Indians individually instead
of i'll conference. 1t is reported

missionerS will remain is difficult to
predict, but they have settled down to
wait and hope. They have come to the
conclusion that as long as the Indians
are together under the control of the
chiefs there is no prospect of success,
but think that by having the Indians
brought in one or two at a time they
may obtain their signatures. 1t may be
that this
SCHEME WILL PROVE SUCCESSFUL.
and it is hoped that it will, but good
Judges of Indian character say that it
will not. At yesterdays conference the
chiefs grunted at the request of the
commissioners and called aloud four
Times for the Indians desiring to sign to
rome forward. In doing this John Grass
informed the Indians that their
actions would give no offense to
the chiefs, but not an Indian offered
10 sign. In reply to their verdict the
commissioners stated to the Indians
that the action of the chiefs now had
no effect, but that if they had granted
the request when it was first made the
result would have been vastly different.
The fact remains, however, that not an
Indian came forward and that no sig
natures were obtained. The remainder
of the work here will be tame and quiet
as it will not be done in open confer
ence, but privately with individual In
dians. With all the Indians going back
to their farms to take care of their crops
and
HOLD A BIG POW-wOW
in celebration of their victory over the
commission, there does not seem to be
much reason for believing that the
situation will be changed by the new
policy. The commissioners claim to
nave good ground for hope and refuse
to acknowledge that the Indians will
not sign. The reports of the action of
the Indians here are now speeding
away to the other agencies by Indian
courierS, and the Indians here have ar
ranged for a grand soup dance when
they return to their homes. 1t is fact
worth mentioning, as showing the de.
termination of the Indians that John
Grass in his speech to the commission
ers yesterday alluded to the military
power of the government. He said to
the commissioners: "You may call out
your soldiers and make us sign, but you
cannot get our consent in any other
way" The Indians have seen so much
of the persistence of the commission
that the suspicion that the troops might
De called to force them to sign has
entered their minds, but the whites had
no knowledge of this suspicion until
Grass made his closing speech. Com
missioner Cleveland, who started for
the Fort Stephen mission, has returned.
and the full commission is present al
this agency.

A NEW ELDORADO,
Mountains of Gold Discovered in
the Boulder Country.

LIVINGSTON, Mont, Aug. S.-Two
prospectors came in from the Boulder
country yesterday, bringing with them
a buckskin bag containing over $4,000
in gold which they had pounded out
with sledge hammers on fiat rocks.
They also brought the richest specimen
of quartz probably ever seen in the ter
ritory. The specimen was about the
size of an ordinary cocoanut, so soft
that it could be pounded with ham
mer. and was full of fine wire gold
plainly visible to the naked eye. The
Boulder district has, until within COM
paratively recent time, been part of
the Crow Indian reservation, but it is
now open to settlement. The prospec-
tors say it promises to be one of the
richest mineral districts in this part of
the country.
