Ticket selected for the Democrats to
sad Dow in the Fall-Names of the sacri-
fetal Lambs to be Slaughtered.
The Silver Bow wing OF the G.. %. p. met
mt the court house yesterday for the pur.
pose Of holding the first county convention
under the new order OF things and to set
crushed by the Democratic willipus walia-
pus q few weeks hence. Chairman Bour.
quin chaired and Secretary Vivian secre-
taried, the bosses were all on hand and
everything appeared lovely and serene.
The seft wind soughed and sighed through
the open windows and the smell OF tobacco
and liquid inspiration was waited to the
outside world in gentle little rifles which
rolled up against the mountain peaks like
wrinkles on the dime musee fat man'sneck.
Past differences appeared to be forgotten,
or else had been packed away to be res.
directed later on, and the insult offered
some of the high priests at the state con-
~vention were ignored and allowed to re-
main buried.
Lee MaQGte YVES On manu-, COOt, bmlllDgty
and zouave as only he can be, while a
played about his mouth which plainly IN
dicated that he was there for some pur.
pose and that he would keep the curfew
tolling no matter how mournful it's sound
migho be to some af those on whose tym-
panums it would CRATE.
The first thing he did was to introduce a
set Of resolutions fully half q column long,
solid nonpareil measurement, Mandatory OF
the Republican party and ~cendemnatory
of the Democratic. Benjamin Harrison
and Tom Carter were held aloft as angels
found respect and abiect Worship. At the |
tail end was a wee mite of a resolve" that
tie convention adopt the platform OF the
Anaconda Republican state convention |
sad that it endorse the nominees of that |
for the officers of the state OF |
Montana. |
Levi j. Hamilton, who seemed to IL
badly because he had not thought of s4l
and prepared a set OF resolutions OF even ai
gaudier hue. suddenly arose and moved TIE
adoption of the resolutions. They were
adopted and Levi appeared pleased.
w. n. Dewitt reported that the very
naughty and stubborn Democrats had re-
fused to go in on the non-partisan district
judge scheme, and he was relieved from fpr-
Their duty in that direction.
The next thing on the menu was the nom.
for state senator. w. M. Jack. in
1owery and eloquent manner, nominated |
G.. w. Goodale. LID. Hamilton was nom
by Mr.. Davidson, but declined the |
and George Haldorn was put |
by Colonel Dolman as being just
the mau needed. A ballot being taken it
was found that Mr.. Goodale had received

even ten between themselves.
After an immense amount of taffy had
been spilled and distributed over the o II
SO thickly that almost every person pres
was covered with it, VIM. THOMPSON.
q. E. Congdon and w. H. Roberts were
the unanimous nominees for mem.
Of the legislature.
A fresh supply Of sweetness having been
smuggled into the room, Judge Knowles, j.
E. Richards, Lee Mantle, Major Loeber, A.
Bray and several others of the
big guns delved into the barrel
scoop shovels and as q
result fifteen men, nominees for representa-.
tives, came out OF the hurry burly fairly
redolent with the ordor OF sugar and mo-
lasses and with a sanity halo encircling
their classic brows. As only seven of them
could be nominated a vote was taken and .
J. Il. Monteath, A. F. Bray, P. r. DoIman.
Thomas Robbins, VIM. Levshon, A. N.
Yoder and N. J. Scott were selected as be.
IDg the most sanity OF the ten ard five. :.
The delegates now began to feel hungry !
and pr badly a few states needed revising,
10 Major Loeber mo Ned that a recess be {
until 2 O'Clock. vt was done.
A few minutes past two the curtain WAS
Jung up Tor the second act, and Lee Mantle l
PEACEFULLY piroutted to the front with an. j.,
)Gher resolution-Lee has q weakness for 4
hat kind OF efusions, and he can't help /,
a few dozens at every meeting I
which he attends. The resolution he pre- ,
roasted the Democratic members of i
The constitutional convention for voting to !,
'ust the present incumbents of county Off =
.es, and suggested the propriety OF renomi- !,
lating the present Republican county Off \
ers, if they desired to be renomiDated. .
Thu resolution was the signal for a I
ocular Dakota zephyr, and for a time
threatened to split the convention into II
mitbereeDs and then to break the smith C
reens afterwards. Mr.. Mantle, Judge
Knowles, j, E. Richards, w. 3. Hall and k
{. =. Sergeant spoke in favor Of the reso-
and l.. j. Hamilton, A. T, Bray and K
thompson Campbell opposed it. 70 settle
