An Enthusiastic and Harmonious lzcet-
ing Results in the Nomination of
a StrongTicket.
The delegates to the republican cc;1nty
convention assembled at the hal, over
Frank Whites, on Saturday last, and
was called to order at 10 a. m. by Frank
Henry, chairman Of the county central
committee. who read the call for the
meeting as published in the ENTERPRISES.
He called attention to the fact that this
was probably the last occasion upon
which the republicans of Park county
would meet together under territorial
vassalage thanks to republican con
gress. Ten delegates would be selected
to 60 to Anaconda and assist in naming
the first set Of state officers for Montana,
to be elected in October. When we cease
to be wards and assume the rights Of
government extended to the people,
it would be more appropriate that the
car Of state should be in the hands of
republicans. There was no question but
the two Dakotas and Washington would
elect full set Of republican state Off
GERS, representatives and United States
senator's The democrats had attempted
to strike down two of the leading indus
tries of Montana wool-growing and the
production Of lead which was repudi-
ated by the people in the election of a
republican delegate by over 5000 major
ity. This great state, the most beauti-
full and fairest, her mountains ribbed
with rich minerals and her hills covered
with the herds Of her tiockmasters, will
put to blush the wrinkled features Of
some Of the older states with a century's
growth, and the whole great nation will
arise and call her blessed It is there
fore but fitting that she should enter
the galaxy Of states in accord with the
national administration pledged to pro-
tect her industries and secure to her the
full measure of prosperity to which she
! is entitled. He then briefly called at
tention to the duty Of the convention,
made necessary by the action Of the
democratic majority in the constitu-
tional convention, in legislating county
officials out Of Office in the hope of Sc
curing a tritiing partisan advantage.
On motion Of Glidden, DR.. w. T. Col
Inns was elected temporary chairman
and Messrs, Glidden, Hoppe and Budd
appointed to escort him to the chair. In
accepting the position he thanked the
convention Tor the honor conferred and
stated that in carrying out the senti-
ments expressed in the eloquent remarks
OF the chairman of the county commit
tee, it would be all important that the
business OF the convention be character
lied by cool deliberation and wisdom:
that no action might be taken that
would furnish an excuse for apathy or
prevent the republican party from going
| forward to grand victory.
