DENVER, June Alt was about $3.50
this morning when the Pacific delegation
and their friends finished breakfast and
assembled on the depot platform at the
request of the local Reception Commit
tee, who were on hand with carriages to
take the guests over the city. When all
were embarked the procession was quite
an imposing one, including in the
neighborhood of fifty carriages and
composed OF at least $50 people.
Some had been in Denver before
and did not Join in the parade, but drove
to some special point in which they were
interested. A sufficient number re-
manned, however, to make a procession
several blocks in length. A couple Of
hours were spent in the drive, which in
cluded the principal business and resi-
dence streets, the courthouse, the
high school building, the new
Denver Club building, the opera house,
Tabor, Barth and Barclay blocks and
other handsome buildings and residences.
The formal reception at the Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon was given up
on account of the lack OF time for
fatigue hg, '''' Of the the excursionists. The The
remainder of the day was spent in
visiting friends or driving in the su-
burl s. When the time OF departure ar
rived at s O'Clock, several hundred citi-
zens and a number of Republican clubs
had assembled on the platform with
brass bands, and as the train pulled out,
the Pacific sleepers were given rousiDg
farewell by their Denver friends, both
Republican and Democratic. They ex-
pect to arrive in Chicago at 10 80 o'clock

HARRISON AND GRESHAM.
An Agreement Between the Friends s
of the Two NIen.

CHICAGO, June 14.-The first combine
tion between any two leading candidates
for the Presidency was brought to cul-
mination to-day. The friends OF Har.
rison and Gresham had quiet confer
ence and in short time their forces
were harmonious. 1t was an Indiana
family gathering. Among the Harrison
leaders present we're Acknowledgement
Kitchener, ex-Congressman Peele and
Secretary Of State Griffin. Gresham's
representatives included @. w. Fair
banks, State Senator Graham and Col.
Henry Drew. Both sides recognized the
folly OF the friends OF the two Indiana
men coming to Chicago to fight each
other; that both sides should do the best
they could for their men in the friend
1iest spirit, and that the Indiana dele
gates should vote solidly for their favor
ties from the start to the finish. When
it should become evident in the Conven-
tion that Harrison could not be nom
mated then Gresham should be accorded
the support of his native State.
The time when the delegation
should, in such contingency, begin
voting for Gresham was left to the homer
of the delegates themselves. Mr.. Fair
banks, who is a strong supporter OF
Gresham, says there is the friendliest
feeling between the old friends Of
Blaine and the supporters OF Gresham,
and that Gresham's greatest friends
come from those who always voted for
Blaine. Colonel Ingersoll is to make a
speech for Gresham, but not in the Con
vention. Before the time comes for the
nomination of candidates, there will un-
doubtedly be one or more open mass
meetings. 1t is at one Of these gather
ings that Ingersoll is to make the great
est effort OF his life. The honor OF sec.
onding the nomination of Gresham will
go to John X. Lynch, (colored), the
Mississippi member Of the Republican
National Committee. What was re-
garded as
A BOMB IN THE GRESHAM CAMP
Was a declaration for Blaine, coming
from W. f. Kent, Of Chicago, one of the
first delegates in Illinois, that was in.

THE BARKER SHELTER,
Lively Times When the Manitoba Rail
road Comes.

We understand that the First National
bank of Helena has offered to accept
$4,000 in payment of its claim against
the Clendenin Mining & Smelling com
pany's smelter at Barker, and that IL. d.
Burghardt has gone CASTOR the purpose
of organizing a company with a capital of
100000 for the purpose of paying off the
banks claim and starting up the smelter.
We hope this is true, and that Mr.. Burg
hardt may succeed, as We are confident
that the smelter properly managed will
be profitable. There is no man better
posted that Mr.. Burghardt on the mines
in that locality, and the fact of his effort
is an assurance that the ores can be sue
cessfully worked. The shelters long
rest has been severely felt by the country,
and there is certainly nothing to be more
desired than a resume of the good times
again. With the smelter in operation, a
branch of the Manitoba passing its door
and penetrating the mines of Snow creek
and Neihart, northern Montana would
become the principal bullion producing
section east of Helena.-Rocky KountaSn

one of the Apollo-like men of the west.
He has little in appearance common to

but is slender, w;llowy, athletic, graceful,
and looks like a collegian rather than a
western lawyer. 1t is said that when he
goes home to Montana after the close of
the congressional session he has an old
suit of miners clothing that he puts on,
along with a pair of cowhide boots and a
sombrero. in order that his constituents
may recognize that he is one of them.
The rough westerners whom he represents
will recognize their "Joe" in the "slen-
der. willowy, athletic, graceful, Apollo

Details for the Scandal-Mongers-
Modern Courtship IL
Illustrated.

NEW YORK, January 5.-The trial of
Miss Clara Campbell, a daughter of the
once well-known millionaire iron dealer
OF Ironton, Ohio, who is suing Charles
Arbuckle, the millionaire coffee merchant
of this city and a member of the firm of
Arbuckle Bros, for breach of promise of
marriage, estimating her damages at
100000, came up before judge Beach
and a jury in the supreme court today.
The defendant, Mr.. Arbuckle, was the
first witness called for the plaintiff to
prove her case, if possible,
Mr.. Arbuckle stated that he first met
Miss Campbell in the spring of 1882; that
he promised to marry her or her asking
him, which he claims she did. He gave
her in addition to Il diamond ring, $500.
The ring was not given as an engagement
ring, but merely as a present, for which
he paid $500. Mr.. Arbuckie was Their
cross-examined by his own counsel. He
said he saw Miss Campbell while she was
stopping at a clearinghouse in this city
at No. 81 Fifth avenue. She left there in
the spring of 1882, and he asserted that
he never saw her again until she APP
peared in court today. Witness said that
subsequent to 1882 things were said and
done by Miss Campbell to which he OBJ
jected. After the recess counsel for the
defendant read three letters from plain

she desires to know his purposes concern

told her story. She said she was 80 years
old, and was born at Hanging Rock, Ohio.
Her father was John Campbell, an iron
manufacturer. She related at length her
relations with the defendant. She de-
MED that she proposed to Arbuckle. She
said that she intended to make a profess
sion of operate singing but that Arbuckle |
said it was not necessary, as he and her
father were rich. He frequently tried,
she said, to find out how much her father
was worth.
"Up to the time | went to Washington
to visit my sister, whose husband was a
member OF congress, he visited me in
New York at the different places | lived,
two Or three tunes a week. From there |
went to Philadelphia, and then to my |
fathers home in Ohio, where | stayed
from Easter Sunday, 1888, to March, 1884.
He wrote to me during this time twice a
week. My father failed in October, 1888.
| sent word to Arbuckle about it."
She admitted drafting a letter for the
consent Of her parents to the marriage, |
which Arbuckle sent. Arbuckle's reply |
to Mr.. Campbell's letter was then read,
in which he thanked Mr.. Campbell for
the trust he reposed in him in Civ
ing him his daughter. He then placed
duced which were full of chs" and
:" ks" which Miss Campbell said meant
hugs and kisses. !
