THE CONVENTION.
Cleveland Nominated by Acclamation.

The Democratic National Con-
vention assembled at st. Louis Tues
day, and organized by electing Con-
gresham Patrick A. Collins, of
Massachusetts, permanent chairman,
and Hon. H. H. Ingersoll, of Tenes-
see, permanent secretary. Hon.
Henry WattersOn was made chair
man Of the Committee on Platform.
Tuesdays session was spent in the
organization, selection ofcommittees,
etc.
On Wednesday, although the plat
form committee had not reported,
the rules were suspended and Cleve-
land was nominated by reclamation
without a dissenting voice, amidst
wild scenes of enthusiasm.
THE PLATFORM.
The following platform, as reported
by the committee, was unanimously
adopted:
The Democratic party of the Unit
ed states in national convention as
sembled renews the pledges Of its
fidelity to Democratic faith and reaf-
firms the platform adopted by its
representatives in the convention of
1884, and endorses the views express
ed by President Cleveland in his last
earnest message to congress as the
correct Interpretation ofthat platform
upon the question of tariff reduction,
and also endorses the efforts of our
Democratic representatives in con-
gress to secure a reduction of excess
sive taxation. Chief among its
principles of party faith are the
maintenance Ofan indissOluble union
of free and indestructible states, now
about to enter upon its second century
of uneXampled progress and renown,
devotion to a plan Of government
regulated by written constitution,
strictly specifying every granted
power and expressly reserving to the
states or people, the entire ungranted
residue of power; the encourage
ment ola jealous popular vigilance, di-
rected to all who have been chosen for
brief terms to enact and execute the
laws, and are charged with the duty
of preserving peace, insuring equality
and establishing justice.

A FEW of our exchanges which OPP
posed the prohibition amendment
in the campaign of last year are still
fighting the cause with as much zeal
and vigor as if the election was just
ahead in the future, instead of eight
months in the past. The mere sound
of the word prohibition to one of
these little editors is like shaking a
red rag in bull'sface. A prohibition
meeting anywhere within the con-
fines of the United States is sufficient
to bring forth a burst of eloquence,
and cause their patriotism to ooze
out at every pore. Even w. G. 7.
U. meeting will stir their little brain
pans to their uttermost depths. 1t is
really pitiful to witness the excruti-
ating torture of their righteous souls
over any gathering which menaces
their fondly cherished idol, the
saloon.

Col. II. III. BAKER spent several
days in McMinnville this week ,look-
ing after the Republican fences. Thus
is the G. o. p. early in the field with
its skirmishers, and they are going to
make a hard fightto capture this
Congressional district in November.
The district, however, is yet safely
Democratic, ifthe Democrats exercise
wisdom enough to nominate man
who can poll the party strength. The
percentage of voters who cast their
ballots for whom they consider the
best man, regardless of party-mug-
wumps if you please-is increasing
with each succeeding election, and
with the narrow margin the Demo-
Gratis have in this district, to win the
fight this year they will have to put
out a candidate who has something
more upon which to base his claims
than a gigantic ambition to warm
seat in Congress. 1t will depend al
together upon the character of the
man the Democrats nominate for
Congress this year as to whether his
nomination will be equivalent to an
election. While the success of the
party in this district does not hang
upon the shoulders Of any one man,
we believe the present incumbent,
Hon. John r. Neal, to be the best
and most available man for the posi-
ton, and there will be no question of
his acceptance if nominated. There
are aspirants for the position who
cannot poll the party strength, and
consequently cannot be elected. This
is our honest judgement of the mat
ter, expressed without any malice to-
ward the gentlemen who have their
eyes fixed upon the Congressional
halls as the Mecca of their hopes.

In another column will be found a
call for a Democratic county conven-
ton to be held at the court house in
this place on Saturday, June 10th, to
select delegates to the Congressional
and Senatorial conventions. Let the
good, substantial men from all over
the county attend this convention,
and See that the true sentiment of the
county is expressed in its action.
There are many good men whonever
take any part ia shaping the political
matters Of the county, and yet who
complain bitterly when things are
not done as they should be. 1t is a
duty every good citizen owes his
county and his state to give enough
of his time to political matters to in
sure the selection of the very best
men in the party &c III political
positions.

Pulaski Citizen: There was a time
when a democrat could scratch the
platform and support the nominee,
and some time scratch the nominee

styles are obsolete. All good demo-
Gratis now come up to the scratch and
support both nominee and platform
and scratch crow.

The Republicans of the Third
Congressional district are going to
nominate winning man for Congress
this year. Already have they begun
to organize the party, and the
prospects of a sweeping victory are
bright indeed. The fact that the
Chattanooga Times, with MCGOWAN
at its head, will oppose the Re
publican nominee, almost assures his
election. National Review.
1t does not make particle of diff
ference how much organizing the
Republican party does in this dis
trict, their action will have nothing
to DO with deciding the contest. The
district is Democratic. Don't forget
that fact. Only in the event of the
Democrats nominating some man
who can not carry the party strength
will the Republicans have shadow
of a chance to win.

public expenses and abolish unneces-

domestic industry and enterprise
should not, and need not be endan-
gered by the reduction and correction
of the burdens of taxation. On the
contrary, fair and careful revision
of our tax laws with the allowance
for the difference between the wages
of American and foreign labor must
promote and encourage every branch
of such industries and enterprises by
giving them assurance of an extend
ed market and steady and continuous

be neglected, the revision of our tax

party should protect the advantage of
such labor by cheapening the cost of

MINISTER WEST BOUNCED,
1t was "Awful" but it had to be Done.

WASHINGTON, October 31.-By direction
day informed Lord Sackvllle that for causes
heretofore made known to her majesty'a
government his continuance in his present
official position in the United States is uo
longer acceptable to this government, and
would be consequently detrimental to the
relations between the two countries.
A reporter put the following question to
Secretary Bayard: "Have you ever at any
time formally requested or demanded of the
British Government the recall of Lord Sack
vtlle?" The recretary replied: mo, no;
positively no. All statements to that effect
are absolutely and unquall6iedly untrue.
We forwarded to the British Government the
facts in the case. The President wanted
what he considered to be sufficient length
of time before he resolved upon definite
action, and finding the British Government
were apparently doing nothing in the mat-
ter. decided, In view of the emergency, to do
what has been DONE"
WASHINGTON, October 31.-The following
is the substance of telegram received this
morning by members of the Cabinet from
several members of the Democratic Nation
al Committee in New York: ;The tele-
grams in to-dsy's papers are most dissapoint-
ing about the Sackville matter. Does the
President know that the Irish vote is slim
ping out Of our hands because of diplomat
ic shilly shallying? See l. at once. Some

SELLING ITS SOUL.
A Renegade Newspaper Brought Up With a
Round Turn at Court.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26.-About = month
ago Allen Jennings and other stockholders
of the Labor Signal, weekly newspaper
founded IS the organ of the various trades
unions, instituted proceedings against l. NJ.

and praying for the appointment of re-
ceiver. Special Judge Eli Ritter to-day
filed ruling finding for the plaintiffs and
granting their application for . receiver.
Judge Ritter recites the statements of plain.
tiffs and declares void the pretended lease to
Gruelle and Bodenmiller, touching whom
the court says:
-"They have diverted the policy anc pur-
pose Of said paper and the publication there
Of from the design and purpose contem-
plated by the stockholders aud the original
directors in organizing said company. They
neglected and refused to print the platform
Of the Union Labor party and so changed
the political tone of the paper Is to make it
acceptable and so desirable to the Demo-
cratic party that the Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee took regularly of each issue
1000 copies, besides which the Democratic
County Committee ordered large number
of each issue, this demand constituting the
principle circulation of the newspaper"
The language aud statements in Judge
Ritter's decision when they became public
this evening, were the subject Of much in
teresting political conversation and gossip
about headquarters. The paper has recently
acquired . wide circulation through the

their products an amount equal to the epor-
nous sum of s160.000, 900, and they say we
have got too high tariff. If that iron and
steel had been made here it would mean
good wages for whole year for 100000 Ia
borers. and for the average size of 4 family
dependent upon him it meant 100000 to be

AN anonymous screed dated Anaconda,
published in the Butte Miner in September,
is reproduced in the "What is It?'' now be-
ing distributed in this county, and contains
. lot of swash concerning Mr.. VIM. NJ.
Thompson, Republican candidate for the
Council, and Mr.. Will Furay, the candidate
for Clerk and Recorder. This contribution,
IS all anonymous contributions, is really
unworthy of notice, but the facts are that on
the occasions referred to Mr.. Thompson did
4 service to the people of this county which
entities him to their support aud everlasting
gratitude. The occasion was that when two
or three years ago the Anaconda works shut
down in the teeth of winter. Many men, 60
per cent. of whom had families, were thrown
out of employment. Mr.. Thompson was
identified with the knights of Labor, and be
was employed in the Office of the Anaconda
Company, which he knew was losing money
by operating At the price copper then was.
The company would not start up at the old
rates. We all remember the circumstance
and the danger that there would be very
great suffering, and no work that winter. It
was peril such as never before or since
hung over this county. Mr.. Thompson and
another gentleman finally secured conces.
sions, and using their influence with the
company work was resumed. If there is a
man in Deer Lodge county to whom its peo.
pie owe debt of gratitude for services done
on that occasion it is VIM. NJ. Thompson.
II ought to make him thousand votes. The
other charge that Mr.. Furay is young man
and poor, is not grave one. He is capable.
obliging and deserving. Let US see how the
people of Deer Lodge will answer the anon
ymous letter.
