Council should not approach their in
creased prerogatives, with hearts lik

yet they should exercise them with tn,
sober sense that they are treading OF

for gentlemen. Butte Mill continue to grow

THE NOBLE FELLOWS
who forego comfort, endure hardships, and
face dangers. to protect the property o.
many wha would hardly recognize them in
society, and never invite them to swell
party, should have no better facilities fol
prosecuting their unpaid work. Marshal

immortal deathless ''six hundred" who
marched into the jaws OF Russian cannon
at Balaklava, were not q whit Drawer than
the firemen OF Butte. Perhaps during the
coming year. little attention might be
paid to the streets and alleys OF the ely,
without incurring perpetual bankruptcy.
There might be things more detrimental to
the public health than water, or clean
sewers, and more frightful to behold than
good street crossings, smooth tracks, or
dumping carts, or even picks and shovels,
handled by good honest laborers. in the
support OF wife and babes. (Applause.
Gentlemen of the convention, am not
a prnphet, and my good respected father,
never had remarkable memory for events
that had never occurred, yet you viii
please pardon nae for predicting that
this happy year OF our Lord, 1888, is to
be a
s'RED LETTER" YEAR
for the Republican party in Montana, and
ia the United States of America: the year
in which the sack cloth and ashes" of
Democratic missrule shall be cast off; when
this .'beautiful gem" OF the Rockies. or the
larger, fairer jewel of columbia" shall be
released from the vampire clutch OF the
Democracy. You will excuse the further
prediction, that aft er March 4th, 1889, the
Presidential chair will be occupied by that
magnificent American, James &. Blaine
TGreat Applausel, or some other Republi-
can statesma n [Laughterl; that our next
delegate to Congress will be Judge Knowles,
or that grand Republican. Geo. w. Irwin,
or that Republican war horse" OF the
West Side, Gen. Chas. s. Warren. Joe
Toole and Grover Cleveland will take due
notice, "and will make other arrange
ments." [Laughter.] Gentlemen, there il
nothing improper in naming Toole before
as we all know Joe is much
better and smarter man than Grover, and
I don't mean to fatter Joe. But truce
to political guessing. With the undivided
support of the Republican electors OF Butte,
assisted by number OF right good, loyal
friends, l aill contract, under
bond and seal, to deliver to the people OF
this city Republican administration OF
the Office OF mayor. [Great applause.]

Vyman victims of misplaced confidence,
when it was moved by Bray that the
nomination be made unanimous, which

Mr.. LippincoUt attempted to address his

pound and responded. He said, feel that
,uch remarks as might make would APP

Hamilton said, that preferred to allow
nv native modesty to assert itself and

The nomination OF a city treasurer being
in order, Mr.. Haldorn hesitatingly arose and
said: really rather hesitate to make

But this time trust that am right. am
