Speeches by Clark and Word.
DILLON, October 22.-(Special to the
Miner.l-The Democratso Of old Be~averhead
county have outdone all previous efforts in
doing honor to w. A. Clark, and the polit-
icai ball has started on it's roll to Demo-
cratic victory. TheDillon Democratic club
has been busy for the past week, and the
demonstration OF to-day proves that their
efforts have not been in vain.
On the arrival OF the train at noon, Mr..
Clark was met at the depot by q large dele
CATION of representative citizens who, with
cheers, salute OF cannon and music by the
Dillon brass band, gaveM Montana nextdel-
egate a rousing reception.
The principle business houses and a large
number OF private residences were pro-
fusly decorated.
At Is p. IN. the procession started from
the headquarters OF the Democratic club,
headed by the Dillon band, consisting OF
eighteen pieces, and over two hundred
torches and transparencies in line. One OF
the main features of the procession was a
large live eagle with outstretched wings on
a platform surrounded with flags. This
was a donation from Phil Lavell, our can
didate for representative.
After parading the principle streets the
procession marched to the opera house,
which had been gaily decorated for the
occasion. The house was packed to it's
utmost capacity, many being unable to OBJ
tain standing room. Mr.. Chapman, OF
the County Central Committee, in a
few well-chosen words. introduced Mr..
Clark, who made one OF his characteristic
speeches, and was greeted with round after
round of applause. His remarks were
pointed and carried conviction to the minds
of his listeners.
The Hon. Sam Word followed with
A RoUsING SPEECH,
and the laughter and cheers showed that
the audience was well pleased with the
manner in which he presented the issues Of
the campaign. His eulogy on Uncle L. A..
Brown the great Topper" was a MASTER
piece OF truth and wit. His remarks
affecting little Tommie Carter, the bad boy
of the g. O.. D., will nave their effect and old
Beaverhead County will do it's duty.

jefferson Davis and Mrs. Davis passed
through the city the other day en- route to
their plantation. In spite of the warm
weather, both looked well, especially Mr..
Davis, who weighs more than at any time
since the Mexican war, though he finds
himself easily fatiguod. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis will spend the summer at their lovely
coast home, Beauvoir, but Miss Varina leaves
in a few weeks for an extended outing
that will embrace Bar Harbor, Red Sulphur
and a stay in Central New York She will
be a guest part of the time of Mrs. Joseph
Pulitzer, the wife of the famous editor of
the New York World Coming in on the
coast train is an admirable place for a chat,
and as the train sped over the wide sea
marshes, both Mr.. aud Mrs. Davis fell into a
reminiscental mood. Mr. Davis spoke of his
S0th birthday, and laughed little over the
published report of an interviewer who was
represented as spending the day with him,
but who was not visible i'll the flesh at Beau
voir, and who wrote feelingy of Mr.. Davis
supposed grief over Gen. Sheridan's illness
some one spoke of Washington society, and
Mrs. Davis recalled many pleasing anec-
dotes of it as it existed in ante bellum days,
and she still loves to remember a coterie of
bright particular geniuses who met regu-
larly at each others houses, and each one of
whom was distinguished in some especial
direction. There were authors and states
men, clever draughts and embryo artists,
army and navy officers, secretaries of lega-
ton and foreign ministers, people whose
criticisms were worth remembering, and
people whose information about the war
that the British were then wagiug in India
was moro authentic than anything the war
department or newspapers had. 1t was
society that was aptly described as living
undsr the caves of great peoples houses and
turning up their noses at the mighty. Mrs.
Davis said President Buchanan often
regretted this brilliant company
from which he was exiled wien
be became chief magistrate, and was
never weary of hearing of the bon mots,
which were good enough not to lose their
flavor even at second hand. At some of
the informal receptions held by this society,
which opened only to the sesame of gentle
breeding and intelligence, the refreshments
were only beer and bread and cheese, but
the English minister drew it and the secre-
tary of the French legation handed it
around to company that hardly had its
equal in any court Mrs Davis handsome
face lighted up with the brightest smile, and
she concluded with a little anecdote OF
girl with whom she was once intimate,
niece OF a president and who, after pros
perity, knew poverty and want. This girl,
She said, was once lounging carelessly by
me for long time without speaking
Presently she reused up and exclaimed:

They both started to Dakota: both set
tied upon and entered the same land at
about the same time. One of them took
mean advantage of the other. They
accused each other of being all that is
mean and vile. The testimony in the
case at the interior department shows
them both to be expert swearerS against
each other. No man living can tell
which is the villain in the case. Each
Dayton has money. and is eXpending it
liberally on lawyers. Secretary Lamar,
about year ago, decided
THAT NEITHER DAYTON
should have the land, but that it shall
belong to the corporation of the city of
Aberdeen. Two years ago the mayor of
Aberdeen, McChesney. tried to secure
the land. Failing to do so, his relative,
Brooks. came into the case as claim
ant. The lawyers have not failed to
get fees from all claimants. 1t is sus-
pected that some attorneys have been
guilty of barratry. but that is not
dem0nstrable. My friend, James r.
Dayton. is now past his siXtieth year,
but he is as full of fight as ever, and eX-
poets Secretary Villas to render a deci-
sion in his favor next week. This even
ing he said:

Dayton is strong and very clrcumstan-

ment of my counsel he will see the
matter clearly and give me my land.'
The case of Jarndyce VS.. ,|arndyce
was never more doubtful nor pro-
tracted than this un cause celebre, Day
ton vs.. Dayton. The veracious CORE
spondent, with full knowledge of the
history of the case, doesn't dare venture
a prediction as to the outcome. 1t would
be easier to name the cabinet of the

depending on the Pennsylvania prod

the bottom of the vein, one side cut and
hole drilled near the top, which is
filled with powder and the coal blasted

down i've or six tons. The
coal is then loaded into cars
and transferred out of the
