of mountains about mile long rise 50 far
above the surrounding mountains that they
look like huge snow banks raised high in the

Livingston. The valley is wide enough for the
erection of town. The valley although level

contains several fine buildings and railroad
shops, but the mountain peaks rear their snowy
caps far above the highest buildings. The ra-
vines in the side Of the mountains are decked
with evergreen, the vacant spots are covered
with snow, and the cattle are browsing Oh the
mountain sides The brakeman lights the
lamps to pass through the tunnel. There is
more snow as we approach Timber Line. We

rolling valleys covered with black soil, the first
seen since leaving Dakota. We also see the
first elevators at Bozeman. Much of the best
land Is covered with growth of brush from 10
to 20 feet high. Snow covered mountains sur
round this fertile region. Soon after passing
Gallatin we find the train gliding along
THE MISSOURI VALLEY,
hemmed In on each side by lofty stone cliffs.
The cliffs recede from the river and rise to

mental picture of mountain-sde. The surges
are as numerous they are on the ocean-the
little ripples and the gigantic upheavalS flow
ing into each other in ever varying form. The
perpendicular cliffs of ledge, the scattered
shrubbery and the snow in varying depths, all
contribute in adding grandeur to the scenery.
The Missouri here could be forded as easily as
the Yellowstone. The cliffs come toge ther
again scarcely allowing room for the train to
pass. In some places the ledge extends to a
perpendicular height Of from 100 to 200 feet
close to the track. The railroad winds around
and follows the curves Of the river, the cliffs
are lost again in the distant mountains.
The valley at Helena is about two miles wide,
but the greater part of the houses are crowded
up to the foot of the mountain to accommo-
date the miners. 1t soon comes dark and we
spend the night passing through the mountains
which are covered with evergreen from 10 to
20 feet high. The next morning we find the
train passing through some well timbered val

MOVEMENT AGAINST HARRISON.
Colonel CiarksOn's Opposition to the
denomination OF the President.
[By Telegraph to the Herald.l

[By Telegraph to the Herald.l
WAsHINGToN, Nov. II. 1890 The re-
mark of Colonel Clarkson while on his
Southern tour that the republicans "can
aud will win in 1892 if we do not fool
away the chance by an unwise nomina-
tion," is regarded here as significant. 1t
is the first outward sign of the movement
against President Harrison, which has
been going on for some time within the
party. Colonel Clarkson's idea Of a wise
nomination is known to somebody else
than the President. If General Harri-
son persists in seeking the nomination,
Mr.. Clarkson and the politicians who are
with him intend to beat him in the
choice of delegates, and then if he does
not have the good taste to withdraw to
| beat him in convention.
Colonel Clarkson is for General Alger,
Of Michigan. He believes that his wal
recorj, his lack of an awkward civil re-
without repelling any and furnish the
sinews of war for live campaign.
| Clarkson's opposition to Harrison i:
one of the things that has made hitch
in getting rid of Quay. 1t has been ap
parent for long time that if Quay re
signed the craftsmanship of the Nationa
Committee, Clarkson would be choser
his successor, and this the Harrison mel
have not been willing to permit. Th'
situation is not any better now. NJ

Mr.. Clarkson, but it is felt that Qua.
must go whatever happens. Colone
Clarkson is likely to find himself soon IL

an opportunity to use his influence t

insure one after his own heart.

the inexperienced and new members
from the North and East, without hurt
to the public service?
1t is a most unadviSed and inconsder-
ate suggestion. In lciusion, Mr.. Edi-
tor, 1t may we'll be asked, that if at this
ausplcious time, when by the recent vic
tory the area from which we may choose
Speakers and Presidential candidates has
been broadened until it stretches almost
from ocean to ocean; when the South
and West have borne the burdens of this
government, while reaping but few of
It's benefits; when these sections have
rolled up such glorious majorities for
Democracy, and the rights of the people;
If the day has not yet arrived when the
South and West may be felt and honored
In the National Congress, say it NAV
we'll be asked, when will that long looked

If the North. West or East can offer
for the speakership and chalrmanships
men more ''honest" and more ''capable"
than Breckenridge, Mills, Crisp, McMil-
Ian or blount, let the National House
honor them; but if these sons of the
South or those of the West are superior
to the men the East or North can boast,
for one have faith enough in the great
national Democratic party to believe
that the Southern and Western leaders
will be placed in positions to which their
abilities and virtues entitle them.
Such recognition of merit will be
anti-sectional; but to follow the advice
of the Charleston News and Courier and
that of the men who agree with that
paper would not only RAISE THE SEC
TIoNAL ISSUE now happily settled, but
would EMPHASIZE and DIGNITY it.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 1S-John B. Cor
don was to day elected to the United
States Senate to succeed Hon Joseph E.
Brown. The Senate voted first and
Gordon got twenty-five vote to nineteen
for the field.
The House voted at 10 o'clock, and
Gordon, in the call of the roll, received
eightyfour votes. There were a great
many changes, and Gordon's name
swept through the House like cyclone
amidst the widest excitement and en-
thusiasm.
The attempt to betray the Alliance
was frustrated by a return of the mem
bers, who had been grossly imposed
upon by false representations, to
their faith and principles. Pat Calhoun
and his monopolistic influence was SO
far successful as to secure for him eau
Gus nomination from the Alliance mem
bers of the Georgia legislature, and he
thought this was the first and sure
step to the election as United States
Senator to day. But his great scheme
of manipulation through false represen-
tations was exposed by some brave men,
and the result was reputation of Cal
houn by the very men who found out,
just in the nick of time, that they had
honored him with too much confidence.
He may run the railroads, but the Alli-
ance has decided not to let him run that
organization.
The ballot to-day was as follows: Sem

were 5000 piles of the weed upon our

GOULD STILL GRASPING.
He Gets Good Slice of the Richmond
Terminal President Inman States
the Situation.
by United Press.l

New YORK, Nov IS There is wide
spread belief in Wall street that Mr..
Gould has taken advantage of the de.
creased price of the stock of the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal stock to
buy large blocks Of the stock. He is un-
doubtedly in position to exer-
else powerful influence in the
management of that system. President
lnman's refusal yesterday to deny the
story Of Mr.. Gould's important acquire
ment Of stock III the Richmond Termi-
nai was regarded AS very gniilant 1t
is well known that Mr.. Gould has long
been ambitious to control a complete
transcontinental line. The Richmond
Terminal system which includes the
East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia
spreads over large section of the
South from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Mississippi river. It's seaboard
termlnl are at Norfolk, Va, and Savan-
nah, Ga. 1t connects with Mr. Gould S
Mr.. Gould's Missouri-Pacifc at Mem
phls, Tenn. The Atchison system
reaches the Pacific coast over the St.
Louis and San Francisco road Thus
it will be seen that by uniting the Atchi-
son and the Richmond Terminal systems
with his Missouri-Pacifc system Mr..
Gould would have a we'll equipped line
Of railroads extending from the Pacific
to the Atlantic.
New YORK, Nov. 1S.-John H. In
man, of the Richmond Terminal rail
way system, in al Interview to-day with
a United Press reporter regarding the
story that Jay Gould had acquired q
controlling interest in the system, said
There are 700 900 shares Of stock, and
of this amount Mr. Gould has bought up
| one-seventh, or 100 000 shares. The board
| Of directors consists of eighteen members
and the amount of stock held by Mr.
Gould will entitle him to three or four
members in that b >ard at the next elec
ton. | regard Mr.. Gould and his sor
George as first-class railroad men, anG
they will be welcomed in the presen
management. My present relations
with MIR Gould are OF the most friendl,
character. Our system has two connec
ttons with the Missouri Pacific; one a
Memphis, Tenn, and the other a
GreenviIle, Miss, so it vii be seen tha
the combining of the two interests will
be beneficial"
