Objections to Harrison.

CHICAGO. June 23.-At a conference of
the representatives of Sherman, Alger,
Harrison, Blaine and Allison delegates,
which took place this morning between
IL and 4 o'clock, NJ. Fl. DeYonng, re
presenting the Blaine interests, made the
statement that if Harrison was nomlnat-
ell it would be utterly impossible to
elect him. He could not possibly carry
the Pacific coast, nor would he be able
to carry any of the larger States, where
the labor element predominated, because
he voted against the Chinese bill and
treaty and every phase of it, and he had
committed tho still greater mistake of
voting to naturalize Cinnamon and give
them the right of suffrage and that
Allison was exactly in the same boat.

son, representing Harrison's interests,
made the statement that he thought De
Young was mistaken about Allison's rec

and would produce them tomorrow
at the next meeting of the con ference.
The effect of DeY Young's statement caused

delegation to make the statement he

selves to the city of Great Falls, and
there spend at least three days in sight,
seeing and social enjoyment, sprinkled
with little business, which annually
comes before the Association. As con.
sequence. the various papers issued next
week will show great improvement
over the former issues of the year, for
in almost every instance the devil"
will proceed to mount the editorial tri.
pod and conduct the paper as it should
be. The energetic and enterprisins
people of Great Falls have already pre-
pared program for the entertainment
of their guests, and it is needless to say
that they will enter into the matter
in no half.hearted way. There will be
the usual banquet and excursion, speech
making, etc. There is no profession of
which the members need short respite
occasionally more than the newspaper
men. They are on the alert continually,
if they are up in their business, and the
strain on their nervous system Is great.
The Montana Press Association meeting
furnishes the editors and htain-workers
of the press with brief relaxation from
hard work. 1t is green oasis in the

treasurer, for instance.
W. Y. Smith hasn't made up his mind
what position to ask for as yet, but does
not care to run for the assessorship again.
Thos. Hamilton, who for several years
has looked longngly towards the office of
sheriff, will be allowed to continue right
on asofvore. Thomas is mighty handy
to have around at the municipal elections;
that is, he is good for one vote Gin the
right direction" but when he wants an
office that is horse of another color.
Sheriff Mitchell has already declared
that he has had all he wanted of the Of
flee, but knows OF a friend or two of his
who would make mighty good sheriffs.
No one has been agreed upon for the
office of probate judge, but it is whisper
ed around that Geo. Budd might accept
if his friends insist upon his running.
Judge Carson will be too busy with his
numerous farm duties to even think of
running again.
Frank Henry will be privileged to
stand for the office of county attorney
again, if he concludes to remain in this
county.
Those high in the councils Of the party
inform us that the matter of free trade
and protection will be entirely ignored
on the plea that the farmers of this val
ley are too far away from the centres of
traffic to be interested in the matter and
the numerous speakers in the campaign
will be earnestly requested 10 eliminate
all reference to the matter from their
speeches, some of which are being pre-
pared now. All will agree, it is said,
but Caldwell Edwards and inasmuch as
he is the owner ofa band of sheep, he
deems it necessary to say something on
this vital question and let the world know
Just where he stands.
Nothing has come up as yet for the
Republicans to make an issue of. They
have held most all of the Offices for the
past two years and hence there is no
possibility of their springing the "alleged
malfeasance" racket again. And another
thing, the result OF their former effort
was not crowned with that halo of glory
pictured by their fancy. No, they are at
sea in this particular Their only anxiety
at present is for the Democrats to open
up the ball that they may be prepared
to answer the charges that may be
sprung.

Bozeman is the banner town for raisi

Bozeman is the banner town for raising
SUBSCRIPTIONS for popular purpose.
Occasionally we hear oftowns that have
raised 5000 or $500 for celebration or
purses, but outside of Helena or Butte
these subscriptions never reach larger
amount than is raised in Bozeman, and
in those towns the subscription paper
does not go around as frequently. In
Virginia City contribution such as bot
tie OF beer, a shave, box of pills, a
quantity OF peanuts, roast of beef, &C.,
were raised to be awarded to the success
fnl competitors ofthe gun club. In Boze.
man the subscription paper never fails to
secure large amount. For instance,
81 ,25O was speedily raised for the city
hall project and right on the heels of this
nearly 81 500 for the Fourth of July
celebration. Poor strangers have been sent
to their homes, the needy cared for by
popular subscriptions and there is hardly
a week but what the paper goes the
rounds for some charitable or beneficent
purpose. This, we think, shows to some
degree, the prosperity as well as the
liberality of our citizens, who are so fire.
quently designated as "moss backs" and
as equally opprobrious names. We

About Butte.

From Walter Cooper, who recently
spent few days in Butte, we obtain the
following answers to our questions:
Eyes, Butte is very lively, mining mat
tiers especially active. Mining is carried
on at Butte on grand scale, Butte
is without doubt the greatest and most
productive mining camp in the world.
The improved prices on copper has stim-
ulated mining matters evidently, for the
hills are covered with hoisting plants.
The noise of the steam whistles, morn
ing, noon and night is simply deafening.
All who seen to care for employment
are busy. All the great ore reducing
plants are increasing their capacity, new
mines are being developed and new re-
duction works are in contemplation.
Yes, Butte will always be the great CEN
tire for the reduction of Montana ores.
The enormous capital invested in mill
ing and smelling machinery will settle
this point. Yes. consider its ore sup.
ply ample for many years to come and
when the home supply begins to fail, it
has the wealth and enterprise to reach
out to the surrounding camps for ores
with which to keep the reduction works
employed. Yes, it is true that other
points will strive to compete, but it will
end with the effort. Butte has men of
experience. 1t has this wealth largely
invested in reduction works for the
treatment of its own ores. 1t has COM
petition at home and will reach out for
outside business and will get 1t. Miners
will ship where there is competition. 1t
may lack some ofthe natural advantages,
but this will be be overcome by superior
facilities. Butte is the dumping ground
for ores.
Labor? why, yes, laboring men seem
perfectly satisfied. They are we'll paid.
The mining men are equally well satis-
fled and are willing to pay capable labor
liberal share of the profits. Butte has
street horse cars, a motor line and a cable
line to be built in the near future"

TOOLE'S SUCCESSOR

The time approaches when the Demo.
cracy of Montana will be called upon to
select the standard bearer capable OF
leading the party to victory in the con-
test for Delegate. Care should be taken
to select man thoroughly identified
with the business interests of the terri.
tory, a man of broad views, progressive,
energetic and fearless. A man who will
be tireless in his efforts to procure for our
grand and thriving territory every ad.
vantage to which il is entitled. There
is no lack of talent. Montana has
scores ofable and progressive men, cap
able ofrepresenting it in Congress with
honor to themselves and with profit to
the territory. Many of her able and
most distinguished citizens, it is true.
cannot be induced to leave their lucrative
pursuits 10 accept political honors, still,
some one must make the sacrifice and
obey the call of his party. Lewis and
Clarke has many able men, but it has
had monopoly ofthe high offices with
in the last two decades. There seems to
be fixed and growing feeling among
the voters of all sections that the west
side should have the honor of furnishing
the next delegate to Congress. We con-
fess that we have to some extent the
same feeling. AT the same time they
should put forth their best man of Silver
Bow, such as w. A. Clarke or W. W.
Dixon who could lead the party to vic.
tory. Eastern Montana also has her
favorite and popular sons and may feel
called upon to put in her claim and honor
the party with candidate for Congress
from this side. Alfred Myers, of Yellow
stone county, has spotlcss personal
character, is energetic and capable, and
thoroughly identified with some of the
leading enterprises of the territory. he
would inspire confidence in his party
with which he has been identified for
upward of twenty years. With Mr..
Myers victory is sure. Hon. +. X. Arm,
stron, OF Gallatin. is also wcll-knoyn
throughout Montana, having presided
with marked ability over both branches

The question now naturally arises !:
Is the climate of Montana changing, or
are the frequent rain showers of this
season simply the result OF local causes
which temporarily exist? Never before
in the history of this country can the
oldest inhabitant remember of SO much
rain. The rain has kept the ground
soaked, and the water in the irrigating
bitches has been allowed to run its
course unused. It's big thing for the
the farmers, and the only regret they
have to offer is that they did not know
that such condition of things was like
ly TO occur.
