OUR CANDIDATE.

The following complimentary remarks
are clipped from the speech Of Hon. J.K.
To0le, at Helena. on the 4th inst:
Our candidate needs no encomium from
me. More than twenty years ago he came
among you q young man without fame or
fortune. His success and prosperity is a
part Of the history and pride Of Montana.
No more fitting nomination could have
been made. No man is more con
versant with our or knows
better the wants OF Montana. OF sound
integrity and pure morals, OF indomita.
BILE energy and acknowledged pluck,
OF strong intellect and q laudable ann
bition. w. A. Clark will make as
good a delegate as our popular friend
Major Maginnis, and you knowthat is say
ing a good deal. The possession Of these
qualities In such an eminent degree will JUS
tify you in expecting from him better ser.
vice than has been rendered, and greater
results than have been achieved by your
humble servant, who, while he has always
striven hard to promote the prosperity OF
Montana and serve his constituency with
out regard to politics or section, has not
succeeded to the full measure OF his expec-
tation.
gladly accept a respite from official re-
sponsibility, and know OF no gentleman to
whom / can yield with greater pleasure than
to our worthy standard;bearer. Hon. w.
A. Clark.

LET THEM

When the New York Tribune" pitched
into Sunset Cox, charging him will
franking unfrankable matter, it stirred
up a remarkably healthy hornets nest
The little Congressman from Gotham al
once proceeded to investigate the charge
and he found that his name was forged
to the matter found in the mails.
But this wa not all that he found, as
THE MINERS dispatches this morning
show. He unearthed a very prosperous
Republican scheme for mailing Republi.
can campaign literature broadcast over
the country, the head of which was NO
less a parsonage than Senator MattQu
OF Pennsylvania, the chairman Of the
Republican national committee. By
means Of his frank, as also those Of Con-
gresham Hoyey, of Indiana, and Kean,
of New Jersey, all good Republicans, the
country was being literally, not to say
superabundantly, provided with the Sc
renely cOnscienceless literature of the
Carnegie protection order.
Mr.. Cox had brought the matter to the
attention of the gentlemen named, and
had given them an opportunity of setting
themselves right before the country, but
only Hoyey has taken the trouble to de-
clare his name a forgery. Perhaps Quay
and the junior Kean can make it clear
that they are as much entitled to an
apology as was Cox, and which he re-
eeived from the Tribune" If so, they
owe it to their constituents to explain
the matter at once.

BUTTE's transition from a mining
camp to q metropolitan city, is becoming
more apparent each day This change is
noticeable in a great many ways, and,
although the old-timer still loves to re-
fer to the city as a camp" the appella-
tion is no longer correct or appropriate.
The fall openings. OF the different dry
goods houses, have been a revelation and
a source Of genuine. establishment to
everybody. The displays, the entain-
ment Of patrons, and the costliness Of
the goods, it is safe to say, were not
excelled, il equalled, by Macy or any Of
the other world famous dry-goods palaces
Of New York.

Il EVENT.
The Splendid Attractions Presented at j.
r. Boyce s. Co.'s Opening.

The Splendid Attractions Presented at j
r. Boyce s. Co.'s Opening.
One OF the most remarkable events il
Butte's business history occurred yester
day, and will recur to-day. We refer to the
fall opening of MontanL's popular price
house. The doors OF this establishment
opened yesterday morning upon a scene O
unparalleled magnifcence and splendor,
and the throngs that came and went were
amply repaid for doing 80. Where such
complete perfection has been attained it is
impossible to mention any particular fea-
ture without danger OF injustice TO the 9TH
ers, but we cannot refrain from mentioning
the central show window, arranged by Mr..
A. E. Loring. For artistic grace, perfection
OF detail and beauty of effect, we hazard
the opinion that it has never been euualed
by any establishment.
Mr.. Pettes reports the sales of the house
as far beyond any previous effort, and Mr..
Boyce's smiling countenance last evening
evidenced the fact OF complete success.
Ladies were particularly enthusiastic over
the manner in which they we're entertained,
and it is safe to predict that to-day and
tomorrow there will be no decrease in the
multitude OF visitors. II any doubt has
heretofore existed as to the pre-eminent
position of j. r. Boyce, Jr., g. Co., all such
feelings were certainly dispelled by the event
OF yesterday, which was as complete q sue.
cess as the average mortal could wish for.

YERKEs, the man who is the cause of
the street car strike in Chicago, is a
staunch protectionist and a Republican.
He is very much interested in keeping
cheap FOREIGN goods out of the country,
but like most Of the protectionist mo-
nopolists, he is anxious to got all the
scab labor possible, whether from Europe,
Asia or America. He wants his street
car drivers and conductors to work
twelve or fourteen hours a day and have
all delays charged against the men
whether they are responsible for them or
not. Yerkes is only a fair sample Of
the average Republican protectionist
and %monopolist.

First Presentation of ''The Worlds Pro-

1.-THE World" last evening was presented
to a very large audience at Maguire's The.
alter. The scenery was perfectly grand,
No such scenes and effects have ever beer
presented on our local stage, while the
company in every particular were excel.

metropolitan cities, the production last
night wal a surprise. Yet everything the
management promised vas there. The
sinking ship was the acme of mechanical
ingenuity. and aroused the audience to the
widest pitch OF enthusiasm, while the raft
scene evoked the highest praise. And whsn
the ship appeared and fired the signal gun
that the occupants of the raft were seer
the applause shook the entire building.
Among other fine scenes were the lunatic
asylum, a revolving wall, and moonlight
panorama. Mr.. J.Z. Little, in the LEADING
role, together with Miss Rose Wilder and
company, sustained their ses eral parts
with rare ability. The play deserves
crowded houses for thu rest of the week.

The Board Of County Commissioners
yesterday completed their labors Cd the
assessment roll, and County Assessor Hol.
land was directed to certify tbs same to
the county clerk. The board discussed the
matter OF the unprotected condition Of the
jail yard. 1t has long been felt that the
absence OF a proper fence about the Jail
has been the occasion OF much loss oil
labor on the part Of the prisoners. 1t has
been a detriment to the county to that
extent. The fenceless state of the Court
House yard has long been an eyesore to
the citizens. The board yesterday re.
solved to remedy this, ana to-day adver.
tises for bids for the erection Of a stone
wall on the east and west sides Of the
Court House yard, to be surmounted by a
railing. This will permit of the improve
ment OF the present bare surface OF the
yard. and being made an ornament to that
part OF town instead OF the barren spot it
at present is. The fence about the Jail
yard will beg stout wooden one, fifteen or
twenty feet high, making it perfectly safe to
employ the jail prisoners at work in the en-.
closure. The board fence will enclose the
rear end of the Court House lot surround
ing the jail.

Must Go to q Higher Court.

The case of Territory VS.. James and
Charlotte Cassidy was heard by Judge
Lippincott yesterday. The complaint waf
malicious interference. Matthias De Mars
had bought a lot from Mr.. Shipper or
East Park street, upon which he began
the erection OF a building. Cassidy claimed
to hold the mining titlo and as his interest
vas not considered nor he consulted, Mrs
Cassidy entered an emphatic protest which
took the form of the demolition of the in
cipient structure. Judge Lippincott dis
missed the complaint as it involved the
question of ownership OF the land and ad'
vised the ~litigants to seek q remedy in q
court of equity to quiet the title.

were in a saloon when a dispute occurred
between them which developed into what
threatened active hostilities and Mr..
Rhodes attempted the part OF a peace.
maker. 1t was not received by Mr.. Hcllis
in the Christian spirit in which it was in.
tended. He got knocked down and claimed
that Hollis drew a deadlyweapon on him.
Hollis was arraigned before ] Judge Dingevor
and his story is that, in the course OF the
dispute with Martin, he was dared to re-
his weapon and that he took it out
and placed it on the bar. He pleaded
guilty to the assault but not guilty to
the assault with a deadly weapon. His
case is set for 2 O'Clock this afternoon.

The laboring men of this camp have
known the Democratic standard bearer,

when elections are coming are they
willing to shake the hand of the hardy

RATHER lengthy but decidedly in
teresting letter appears in The MINER,
this morning, from Boulder, written by
a Jefferson county Republican. This
correspondent is an Intelligent voter,
and, Republican as he is, he realizes that
the interests Of his county and of the
whole great Territory of Montana can
best be subserved by the election of W.
A. Clark to Congress. In this letter he
voices the sentiments Of many other Re-
publicans in Jefferson county. It is
pretty safe to assert that Mr.. Clark will
get a big vote in jefferson.

MOUNTAINS first touch of winter for
this season, was felt last night, when the
temperature dropped below the freezing
point, the winds whirled in fury, and the
snow came in quantities sufficient to
whiten the ground. One of the worst
storms of last year visited this section
about the 18th Of October, after which
followed a long season of fine weather.
