Selecting Men as Candidates Who Are
Representative Persons.

Representative Persons.
BUTTE, October 2O.-[Contributed to the
Miner.l-In all previous political cam
paigns each party endeavored to select
from the best men among them, for polit-
ical preferment; men of superior prestige,
men Of integrity, men who could and
would carry the party banner to victory,
men who would work for the best interests
of the community in which they lived.
Such was the happy idea the Democrats
had in view when they nominated W. A.
Clark for delegate to Congress; and that
it could not have made a wiser selection is
clearly evident by the hearty re-
ception given him everywhere he
has been. The people are alive to
their best interests, and that is the inter-
est everyone feels for the welfare Of him.
self, his neighbor, and his country. Each
individual interest is the combined inter-
est that swells the entire united forces; and
the Democrats are fully alive to the issues
before the people. They know their
friends, and are determined to prove their
friendship for the man who has worked
shoulder to shoulder with the best brain
and sinue of Montana.
W. A. Clark ia the wheel-horse of the
Democracy OF Montana, and he will pull
them through the mire of all obstacles; and
on the 9Th OF November next, will have
won one more victory toward final state
hood. If none but the brave deserve the
fair, surely the deserving should have the
victory. L.

COAL IN
"A Find in the Medicine Valley that
Promises Good Results.

A Find in the Medicine Valley that
Promises Coos Results.
Pierre, OAK, special: A recent coal find
on the premises OF Henry W. Brekke, a
farmer some four miles from Canning, in
the Medicine valley, is developing into
something more than m%oonshine, n is
apt to prove a bonanza to Central d.
kots.
Mr.. Brekke some four years ago made
his discovery, but kept it q secret until
lately, when he secured a patent to the
land, no doubt fearing that the coal land
laws might induce some parties to step in
and take the claims under its provisions.
Now he announces a fve-foot vein at q
depth of thirty feet overlaid by fifteen
feet of slate stone. Boring has been in
operation the past week, and it is known
for certain that the coal is there as is rep
resented. Mr.. Brekke claims to not be
without substantial capital to develop the
mine for all there is in it.

Being miners night" the attendance at
the Catholic fair last night was the largest
of the week. The hall was filed to suffoca-

CHICAGO. October 2O.-One oil the most
notable Republican demonstration in the

sion was his first public appearance since

that body had named q new candidate for
the party.

the famous leader. less than two squares
rom the auditorium the place where
his successor had been chosen. Prior to
the review two mammoth meetings, either
one ~rivaling the convention gatherings IN
the auditorium, were addressed by Mr..
Blaine. The meetings took place in the
buildings, side by side, an arrangement
necessary, owing to the lack Of any single
q large enough to hold the crowds de-
string to be present.
a feature OF the procession was the con-
centrating OF sentiment expressed in the
numerous notices displayed. Almost all
were on q single line OF thought, the burden
being protection to American labor"
Along the route of the procession the
streets were crowded ON either side, but
OF the auditorium, on Michigan
avenue, the concourse OF people was
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.
The avenue is bounded one side by the
broad expanse OF the lake park, and over 4
bhe great sweeps Of green sward the people I
nassed in thousands, their object evil
1ently wasinott to see the marchers, for that |
was impossible.
Every eye seemed fixed on the little stand
over the entrance of Leland Hotel \
rom which Blaine was expected to view
'he parade. He did not do SO however, but
zept on the inside Of the huge windows Of
he hotel waving his white handkerchief
nd being cheered again and again.
About 1000 people in battery D armory
we're the ones who heard Mr.. Blaine make

Yer was in Cavalry.armory adjoining. He
poke a few works confning himself to a
'rief reference TO the enthusiasm for pro-
ection which he said he had witnessed
GA his trip.
After Blaine commenced speaking in the
Irst hall both doors of the armory were
iosed aud hundreds turned away. Even
nth this precaution both armories were
lncomfortably crowded. Mr.. Blaine spoke
nth his old-time force, and his remarks
ere received with enthusiasm.

As the North Dakota Farmer Rakes in the
Shekels for His Wheat.
Sykestoa, OAK, Special: Threshing is
well under way in Dakota. The high winds
OF the past few weeks have delayed the
work to a considerable evtent. Reports
from the various machines show that the
grain is yielding fairly we'll, and
grading No. 1 hard. L~ate-sown grain was
caught by the September FROST, and in con-
sequence is mixed with some green wheat,
which lowers the grade.
The average farmer is realizing much
more money from this years crop than
last on account of the price. Mol hard
here is 81 cents, and the granger draws a
long smile as he rakes in the shekels.
