Hat Shot Poured Into il
BY sour Tom" and Judge Carey
at the Republican Meeting
Last Night.
The Largest Audience Ever
Seen in Miles City Welcomes
Our Next Congressman.

While 1t il admitted to he the privi-
lege ard the u.age IF the political
press Of the country in writing up
political gatherings, tn magnify the
efforts of their own party and belittle
those Of the opposition, the record Of
the meeting held lat night in honor
of Tkos. X. Garter requires no such
treatment. To say that In poin, Of
numbers IL was success conveys no
idea If the magnitude Of the occasion.
II was al ovation. Never In the his
tory Of Miles City has sp audience Of
such numbers gathered together for
any purpose. The usual seating cspa-
city of the Rink was augme nt-d by the
addition If he one hnDdr-d and
twey ty chairs belonging 10 Gymhs-
stun hail. aud then proving INSULT
cien., u numb Of old benches that
have not seen service for five year,
were brought in and It'll here were
those who could 10, find seats. A low
estimate of the number present would
fix 1t at 500, though some parties claim
10 have made an actual c0uut of c"n-
siderable more. The stage was hand
-onely drave ed with American flags
and richly fUrDished with suite 81
plush furniture and nu'hbsr Of
handsome chairs. At gu early honr
10 the evening the crowded condition
of the streets gave evidence that some.
thing OF more than ordinary import
ance Was OF the taps. Soon the music
of The Forl keogh band wss heard
approaching from the Macq cen
House, and Ms 1t wended its way down
Main street the crowd followed, in
crossing IN number at every step until
the street WAS fairly alive with people.
Arriving at the Rink, the spacious
edifice was filled 10 short order, every
tocy displaying the greatest anxity to

ssa,.d Messrs. Carer, Carey, Strevell.
Deu,.ch, Harmon. Collins Bstchelor,
Campbell, Tower,. Wiley, Blakeley,
Watson, Wyman, Savage, Avery and
Por'ef-nearly as many on the stage
as there was at the last democratic
meeting. AZ Mr.. Carter made his
NJ pearanc. before the sudience he
was received with a hearty round Of
applause that showed he bulk OF the
large audience were his aahereDts.

happy allusion to the new stars on the
flag, one of which would represet Wy.

late territorial delegate aud prospective
United States senstor from that new
state.
Judge Carey. though laboring under
a throat affection that necessarily
made talking q painful fssk, cheer
fully addressed himself to the pleasing
duty of furtheiipg the cause of bis
friend Mr.. Carter. of whom he said:
"Dunng bis recent term iu congress

sentatives, and I have this - say,
that no state In all this broad Union

or more wstchtul of the interests OF

most exscting and onerous but he has

the history Of the republican party In
the light of Its pledges made TO the
people, showing that whenever the
people had elevated the perry Il
power Il had redeemed every pledge 4
had made. Citing the fact that every
state admitted TO the Union since 1854
wss now represented In congress by
full republican delegation, except ou'
