for Sheriff, and Messrs. Fairgreaves and

Mr.. CLARK LOUDLY CHEERED.
"Hurrah for Clark, the old.timer," was
frequently heard from the people before the
hotel was reached.
Ate 6o'clock q special train with the cor.
net band was sent up to bring in the men
employed at Rumsey. At 8 o'clock the
special train returned with about $50 men
aboard. Marshal Reilly, assisted by Mr..
Higgins, soon marshslled the Philipsburg
Democratic Club into line when a gala
sight was witnessed.
The town was fairly ablaze with light
from the numerous bonfires, torches and
fireworks which illuminated the heavens on
every side, while tie whistles from the mills
snd mines added to the
ENTHUSIASM OF THE PEOPLE.
The hall had been handsomely decorated
With banners and flags. On the stage
we're seated w. w. Adams, chairman OF
the meeting; H. K. Fairgreaves, Messrs.
Higgins, Boarmap, Sherman, Rodgers and
several others.
The first speaker OF the evening was the
Hon. Martin Maginnis. On rising to speak
be was met with a tumult of applause,
which lasted for several minutes, and be
began with the following chaste tribute to
bis life long friend, Michael Duffy, a well.
known man in Deer Lodge county, and one
d the early settlers OF the town. He
said:
u wish to thank you for the warmth
and ardor OF this reception. Your town
has grown out OF my recollection. 1t is
difneult to recognize it, but one easily felt
the warm greeting
THE KIND HOSPITALITY,
the generous enthusiasm, which proved
itself still to be Philip Deidesheimer's good
cid burg.
There are other changes, changes which
cause regret. Among all these patriotic
friends it is easy to miss several faces that
we're won't to bs among the first to greet US,
and whose places were only filed by pale
memories OF the dead. True friends are not
90 plentiful in this world that we can afford
to let them 60 out OF our lives without re-
Get, and ! never had q better or warmer
tiend in all this world than one OF the old
founders and pioneers OF this town. He was
present at every Democratic primary,
prominent in every county convention, and
an earnest worker at every election for the
party and the
PRINCIPLES THAT HE LOVED.
That just one is lost. That beloved me
goes without saying among the old friends
and neighbors of Michael Duffy. ZAP
pause.
"And 80 it was not strange that, as we
came up amid the music and the drums
and the torchlights, should lose myself q
moment and hear only the silver horns
and muf1ed drums OF memory playing
melodies OF regret for the absent, and that
the torch.lights of fancy should shine upon
the lace that others could not see. Zap

The welcome of the people, the joyful
acclaim Of the hopeful, will, to our stand
ard.bearer, Mr.. Clark, become hope real

The Major then paid a
WARM TRIBUTE TO MR. CLARK,
every mention OF whose name was received
with wild applause, as also was that oi
Grover Cleveland. He ridiculed the frivol'
rous personal considerations that had been
raised against Mr.. Clark. and caused roars
Of laughter as he touched upon them one
after another.
He briefly reviewed the salient points oi
CeveIand's former canvass, and the speaker
frequently had to stop until the enthusiasm
was over. The prediction that Cleveland
would be reelected called out three cheers
which we're given with vim. He made
glowing defense OF the foreign policy OF thu
administration, and ridiculed the idea tina,
any foreign nation would make war on oul
peaceful but mighty people.
The Major reviewed the action OF tn'
President in recommending the reduction
dtaxation, and said that monarchy haf
been led to the block and revolutions lae
filed countries with blood in the efforts o
the people to
RESIST UrJUsT TAXATION;
but never before had such an outcry beel
made against man who desired to reduc
the burdens of the people. He reviewe'
the action Of the Republicans in taking Tn
taxes off which were paid by the wealthies
classes, and contrasted with it that Q
Cleveland, who wished to take the take
OF the necessaries OF life.
These points were endorsed by continus
rounds of applause from the audience
showing the sympathy OF the masses VIII
the speakers ideas.
The Major ridiculed Carter's views OF Sn
powers Of delegate, and compared MIN
one Of Homer's heroes rushing upon u
walls Of Troy. Hesaid the statement toa
