graph.l-The first Democratic demonstra
ton OF the campaign in this city, under
the auspices Of the state central commit.
tee, was held at Ming's Opera house to-
night, the Hon. Geo. W. Cassidy being the
orator OF the occasion. Notwithstanding
the weather was inclement and the streets
muddy, the house was packed, jammed
full OF people craning their necks in the
lobby and hanging along the stairways 8.
The size OF the audience and the enthus-
iasm displayed has not been squalled on
any similsr occassi IN. The auditorium
and box contained many ladies, who
were as highly enthused as their
sterner brethren. The stage was a
perfect bed OF flowers and bunting, vines
extending from the dome Of the highest
boxes to the footlights and almost hiding
the orchestra from view. The stars and
stripes were gracefully hung along the top
OF the stage in the center OF which hung a
large portrait OF Montana's next governor,
the Hon. j. X. Toole.
The stage was occupied by many leading
Democrats, among whom were ex-Gov-
ernorH auser, Colonel Broadwater, Thomas
Cruise, w. j. Penrose, e. w. knight, Hugh
McQuaid.
Mr.. Cassidy delivered a great speech, and
at times the applause was deafening and
lasted several minutes, Never before was
such enthusiasm exhibited. Mr.. Cassidy
ably treated the issues of the day andcom-
pletely knocked out the balderdash and
buncombe OF George A. Sheridan, the oily.
tongusd Republican ,rator who spoke at
Ming's the previous night. Mr.. Cassidy
made many sbaky Democrats firm, and his
address had a good effect on a number Of
Republicans. who for the first time realized
the difference between protection and tariff

At the shooting tournament to-day the
principal event was the contest for the
Bozeman club medal. which the Helena club
won from Butte. There were
five men to a team who shot at fifteen
singles each. When the s~eventy-five shots
were made by both teams it was found
they had tied, each securing ifty-nine. Five
singles were allowed for shooting off the tie
which Helena Frank Conley of Deer
Lodge, shot with the Helena team and
shot thirty birds without a miss. For this
best individual score he was presented with
a gold-headed umbrella donated by Bah
cock & Co. Had il not been for C~onley's
assistance, Helena would surely have lost
stakes, in which the Butte boys got their
share,

story of inhuman treatment. seldom met
with even on the border. The child, it ap-
pears, vas left in the care of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards while Bloomer and his wife went
to work in the fields last Tuesday. That
evening the child was missing and search by
the neighbors Wednesday and Thursday
failed to reveal any trace OF it's where
abouts. Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards were not
sufficiently active in the search to satisfy
the minds OF some Of the neighbors, and
consequently suspicion was aroused, and
finally the mob took charge of them, one
portion taking Edwards and the other his
wife.
Mrs. Edwards is q woman Of very ner-
vous disposition, and when commanded to
confess under penalty OF hanging il she did
NOT. she finally said she had killed the child
accidentally, and that the body was in the
creek. Search failed to reveal it, when she
was taken to the nearest tree and having
no statements to make, was pulled up and
kept suspended in the air until her face
was black. She was then lowered and
when brought to the leader told if size did
not tell the truth she would be hanged and
her husband burned to the stake. The
woman was too badly frightened to speak,
and assuming her silence to be voluntary,
the mob again suspended her until nearly
dead. After reviving her they were about
draw her up again when the father OF
the missing child interfered, saying that if
they killed her the child's body could
not be found. She was then placed
in charge OF Q guard. In the
mean time that portion OF the mob which
had Edwards in charge attempted to ex-
tort a confession from him. He, too, pro-
tested his innocence, and was strung up
twice till nearly dead. Friday night the
that time until this morning the mob, vary
ing from 500 to 1900, has continued to
surround the Jail, clamoring for the lives
of the accused. The sheriff has kept them
at bay.
Early this morning the child was found
alive and well sitting on the doorstep OF a

PARIS, September, 24.-The Republican
journals are iubilant over the result oil

publicans. They regret the defeat OF Ferry,
and express the hope that his absence
from the chamber may be only temporary.
The RepubliqueF Franchise says the country
has elected a government majority and
shows that it was tired OF former divisions
and desired the chamber to attend to ra-
tional interests to the exclusion OF the
problems causing discussions. The Jour-
nal des Debat has no great confidence in
the wisdom Of tho new majority.
The monarchical and Boulangist journals
express disappointment at the result and
say they hope the secoud ballots will
strengthen the position OF the opposition.

not much faith in the future. The govern.

with raven-like chara cteristics. The Re.

able and they would o be calling him to
