The figures of merit for February, with
the word merit italicized by the Adju-
tant-General. show that three companies in
the n. G. C. with the largest membership
are c of the First Infantry 400, A of the
Ninth $50, and q of the First (S2), the latter
being, by the way, the only one in the Sec
ond Brigade which sent in the returns for
five assemblies during the month.
The n. G. c. as now organized is const-
tuted OF eight regiments, one of eight COM
panies, two of seven each mot including
cadets, aud five of six companies; two
battalions, one OF five and the other Of two
companies, an unattached company and
three brigade signal corps.
The only foundation for the report that
the veterans desire, or would like to be at
the division encampment is in the eommu-
nication of such desire by one member to
one of the Generals. The matter will,
however, be brought up at the meeting OF

says: The silver bills now before Con-
gress are becoming mystery to the West,
and the result is an uneasy feeling every
where that the Sherman juggery trick may
be repeated. What the West wants is alb
salute free coinage and the Appeal believes
that the West is strong enough to demand
it ana enforce it. The Republican party is
in power now, and if the West does not get
free coinage this session, the Republican
party will be held responsible for the re-
pudiation of its pledges, and in 1892 the
West will be prepared to link its fortunes
with the party that means business on the
silver question. If the Republican party is
not prepared to give us free coinage, West

LABOR MEETINGS.
One Union Declines to Boycott
Heat Peddlers.

The efforts of the Butchers Union to
have all the labor organizations of the city
boycott meat peddlers have not been sue
cessful in every case. The matter was
brought before the meeting of the Harness.
makers last night, and after long discus
sion they decided to have nothing to do
with the boycott.
They give as their grounds for refusing
to boycott the peddlers that the organiza-
ton requesting them to take such action is
not bona-fde labor union, and that it is
an association formed for the purpose of
crushing men of small capital.
The Boycott Committee reported that
during the week it has induced nine coun-
try and eleven city firms to withdraw their
patronage. from w. Davis & Son, the firm
which, 1t is alleged, is abusing the appren-
tice system.
Among the local firms reported as having

HELENA.
Election Of the Democratic Candidate for
MaYor-shooting Scrape

HELENA, April THE election to-day
was quiet and the weather miserable. A
blizzard struck the city at noon and again
at o'clock, interfering seriously with cleo
ton work. Bradford d. is elected Mayor
by $50 and Folk 3D. City Treasurer by 100
majority. The Republicans elect the
Police Magistrate and two Aldermen out of
eight. Importance is attached to the result,
for the reason that it is taken as vindica-
tion of the course of the Democratic party
IA the legislative controversy which caused
the deadlock. While this claim is denied,
il may be so construed. Discussions in the
Republican party is the real trouble, from
the fact that the city was from 800 to 400
Republican on the State election.
This evening shooting scrape occurred
between two gamblers, named Mccoy and
Turner. The former fired three shots, one
inficting a slight flesh wound. The row
was over Turner stealing faro chips.

A Peanut Peddler Resents a Painters
Interference.
There was prospect of war at Fourth
and K streets shortly before noon to-day.
Men are engaged in painting the awning
about Hammers drugstore, and it seems
that one George McManus has the contract
for doing the work.
A peanut vendor named La Shells pays
for the privilege of doing business on the
the corner, and McManus desired that the
rooster, etc, should be removed that he
might put up q scaffolding.
La Shells insisted, it is said, that his arti-
Giles were not in the way and McManus
threatened to throw them into the street.
There was a war of words, attracting q
large crowd, and La Shells finally drew
knife. He was induced to put the weapon
away and removed the articles as desired,
but still McManus was not happy. He re-
turned to the attack, Shaping La Shells,
who is an invalid, several times. The pea
nut peddler drew his knife again and would
doubtless have used it had not Coroner

ness. stepped between the men and stopped
