WHAT HE THINKS OF HELENA.
Hon. A. nj. Cannon, of Spokane, Says 1t Is
a Great Town.

Hon. A. Nj. Cannon, of Spokane, Says 1T Is
a Great Town,
Mr.. Cannon, who has been on a business
trip throughout Montana, on his return
home was interviewed by a Review re-
porter. Helena" Mr.. Cannon said, "is a
great town-the richest town of its size in
the world, no doubt-and the business men
are a whole-souled, generous lot of fellows.
Helena has between 1000 and $1,000 inhab-
itants, and its banks have over $l0.0 900 900
on deposit-a showing %unequaled by any
other town of equal population on earth.
There are several mi%llionaires in the town
and they are not afraid to invest their
money, either. When a big mining scheme
is on foot half a dozen of them will chip in
without asking any questions if they have
confidence in the man who is at the head
of it.
'"Ehe source of Helena's wealth is that
greatest of all Wealth. producing resources
mines. The town is built on a gold
mine, and there is gold and silver all
around it. 1t is said that while excayating
for the basement of q new club house re-
Gently over $4,000 was realized from the
dirt removed. If the mines have lone so
much for Helena. Why shouldn't they do as
much for Spokane? During my visit there
| was more than ever impressed with the
fact that the people of Spokane should
bend all their energies toward developing
the mines and securing the erection of
smeltels. The people of Helena admire
the enterprise of Spokane, and think we
are great people,"

HUGH BOyLE'S MONEY.
The Coroner Succeeds In Finding the
Dead Mans Sister.

The Coroner Succeeds In Finding the
Dead Mans Sister.
A few weeks ago Hugh Boyle, an en-
ploye of the Montana Central railway, was
accidentally killed in the railroad yard at
Helena by a freight car. Among his effects
were found certificates of deposit amount
ing to 81, 100. From letters discovered in
his trunk it was learned that he had a sis
ter living somewhere in the east. Coroner
Rockman advertised in the Philadelphia
papers for her, and yesterday received q
reply from Miss Bridget Boyle, who fur
nishes proof that she is the sister adver-
tised for. The coroner will assist
her in securing the money and
personal effects left by her brother.
Boyle was a young man of good
habits who had many friends among his
fellow workmen. Before working for the
Montana Central he was employed on the
Main street electric car line. In remains
were buried in the Helena cemetery under
the direction of DR.. Rockman. Just before
Boyle was killed he wrote q letter to
an aunt in Ireland. enclosing Il $25 money
order. When the coroner examined Boyle's
effects this letter, with its enclosure, was
found. Instead Of holding 1t with the other
property the doctor decided to mail it to
Boyle's aunt in Ireland, as it WAS quite evil
dent that the dead man intended to send
the money to her.

The Montana Millionaire Sends for a
Great Animal Painter.
Marcus DAILY has made a contract with
II. Ii. Cross, of Chicago. u famous animal
painter, to put the m%illionaire's Mlssoula
county farm and several of his fast horses
on canvas. The engagement between Mr..
Daily and the artist is for work amounting
in value to $4,000, and it is likely that Mr..
Cross may be called upon to do additional
painting which will double tho amount.
After the celebrated animal artist completes
his contract with Mr.. DAILY he will move to
the southwest, taking in the celebrated fast
horse ranches in California, one of the lat
ter being Senator Leland Stanford'a Palo
Alto farm. Mr.. Cross's special object in
visiting this ranch is to deliver a life-gized
painting of the renowned stallion, Elec-
tioneer, to Senator Stanford, the owner of
the horse, who engaged Mr.. Cross to mint
his pride some three years ago. The artist
has just completed his work. The stallion
- standing on the grassy plain Of the Palo
Alto farm and the stables are to be seen in
the distance, making u handsome pictur.
handsomely placed on canvas. The work
will cost Senator Stanford $4,000.

Roswell p. FLowE r carries a pretty
level head since his election. In a note
of congratulation to Congressman-elect
Chaplin, of Brooklyn, he thus outlines a
sensible democratic programme for the
coming session:
Upon the action of the present congress
will depend the election of the next presi-
dent. If it succeeds in reducing the ex-
penditures of the government by one hun
dred millions of dollars or more. thus max
ing Il surplus by which the next admins
tration can revise the tariff, you will have
given us an issue which will win before the
people. You will find the revenues of the
government m%ortgaged TO the extent of ten
millions, in the shape of a sugar bounty,
and no man knows how much more for
shipping bounties, and five or six millions
for public buildings. 1t will be more credit
to you and you colleagues if you can show,
at the end of the first session, that economy
has been the watchword of the democracy,
and an easy victory will await us in 1892.
That letter is a whole platform.

now CAMPAIGNS ARE MADE.

The New York law to prevent cor
rupt practices at elections requires can
didates to file, after election, a sworn
statement of campaign expenditures
The New York newspapers are having
lots of fun oven some of the afidavits
and the public is getting some insight
into the methods by which campaigns
are won-and lost. Here are a few
specimen bricks:
The expenses of Frederick Bennett,
socialist candidate for secretary OF
state, were: Se%venty-five postal cards,
rs cents; expressage, 80 cents. Total,
Sl.O5.
This is the cheapest anvas reported
by any candidate. The most costly can
vass reported in the state was thai OF a
young New York city millionaire, Lis
penard Stewart, republican candidate
for state senator from a city district.
Mr.. Stewart acknowledges spending
Sc, 8 so in a strong republican district,
yet he was beaten.
Next to Mr.. Stewart in the amount of
his expenditures was j.. Cady HerriclS,
successful democratic candidate for SUI
preme Judge in the Albany district. Mr..
Herrick goes into some curious details
as follows:
To John P. Masterson for envelopes,
pastors, postage, service in directing en-
~velopes and messenger ~service in circulat-
ing pastors for d. Cady Herriok and state
and county tickets in Albany county, 1876.
10 Albert Hessberg, to reimburse him for
expense of entertaining judicial convention
held in Albany, $17s.
To John A. Delehanty, to reimburse him
for moneys expended for canvasslng, clerk
hire, etc., and for contribution to demo-
cratic campaign committee, $1,9O9.S7.
To John McKenna, for expenses of polit-
ical meetings, $479.S0.
Contributed for legitimate expenses of
these democratic county committees in
Third judicial districts: Columbia, $50;
Rensselaer,, $3.50; Greene, $3.50; Sullivan,
500; Ulster, $500.
To L. r. Fassett. treasurer Albany county
committee, for rent of rooms for demo-
cratic general committee of Albany county,
1876. d..
For envelopes and postage. 1926.
To A. Wager, of Cohoes Regulator, for
advertising and advocating support of state
and county ticket. $3.50.
For various entertainments given by So
cial clubs, $135.
Other expenses, S127.50.
Celora e. Martin, candidate for su-
preme court in the Sixth judicial dis
trict. expended, principally III contribu-
tions to democratic and republican
county committees III the district,
S1,500.2O, although he had no opposition.
In explanation MI. Martin says: 'These
contributions were not made in aid Of
my election, for, as no other person was
nominated for the Office, my election was
perfectly assured. The contributions
were simply to aid in paying the legiti-
mate expenses which had been incurred
by the two parties nominating me-"
The expenses of Myron H. Peck, dem
ocratic candidate for supreme court
judge in the Eighth judicial district,
were 1913, paid to the Buffalo Courier
for pastors and their distribution.
None Of the candidates quite reaches
the mark of the Massachusetts con-
gresham who declared after his election
that his office had cost him just two
cents-the amount of the postage on his
letter of acceptance.

SECRETARY RUsK wants President
Harrison to impose a duty on hides, as
he may do under the reciprocity feature
of the Mckinley law, to punish the shoe
manufacturers of Massachusetts for not
defeating Russell. The Helena Journal
will stoutly oppose any such action on
the part of the president. 1t believes
the duty on hides is a humbug just
Opaque enough to deceive republicans
with at campaign time but lot of any
other use.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-11-16

PRESIDENT HARRISON is now reported
to be in favor Of Cincinnati, a republican
city in a republican state, as the place
for holding the national convention of
his party. Doubtful. The last time a
republican national convention met in
Ohio it very unexpectedly nominated
the newly elected governor of that state
for president over all the favorites.
History might easily repeat herself by
giving Mckinley Hayes luck.
