ANOTHER FAKIR LOOSE.
He Would Hang All the Electors
of Wyoming.

BUTTE, Mont, March 3l.-In 1888, In
Northern Montana, between forty and
fifty cattle thieves were hanged by
ranchers as rapidly as they could be
captured, but Wyoming promises to
beat the record. For ten years band
of cattle rustlers have operated east and
south of the National park. Courts
have been powerless to convict, owing
to the perfect organization of trained
witnesses, whose testimony was over
whelmingly in favor of the defendants.
The thieves have for long time been
doing business as an incorporated COM
pany. A delegation of thirty cattle
men from Eastern Montana passed
through here a few days ago armed
to the teeth, and with horses
and grain. Near Lander they
were to meet by agreement at
least $50 men from different points IN
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Nebras-
ka, and all heavily armed. The expedl-
ton was to move nOrthward fully 200
strong, and is probably even now i'll the
heart of the cattle country hanging
rustlers. At keast seventy-five, and
perhaps 100 of these rustlers will go out
of the cattle business. No definite
news of this wholesale hanging will
reach atelegraph Office for a week or
ten days after the cleanup takes place.
The cattle companies, it is understood,
received S22, 900 to defray the eXpensea
Of the expedition.

TEMPEST IN a TEAPOT.
Lively Discussion Created Owe
the Selection of Committees.

Lively Discussion Created Over
the Selection of Committees.
E. G. Stringer (Ramsey) moved that
the chairman appoint committees ON
credentials, resolutions and permanent
organization. The committees were to
consist of one member at large and two
from each congressional district.
Z. ID. O'Brien ramsey was opposed
to this. He wanted the roll of counties
called, and each county to select mem
Der of each committee.
w. NJ. Campbell stoutly objected to
the amendment. 1t was usual for the
temporary chairman to select these com
mlttees, and prior to the convention he
had assisted Mr.. Haven to prepare
list of delegates who we're fitted to con-
Stitute the committees. Every district
would be properly represented. Mr..
Campbell questioned if the delegations
would be prepared, on the call of coun-
ties, to present representative names.
MIR. O'Brien explained the reason for
his motion was to have the committees
thoroughly representative. That was a
Democratic convention, and he sup
posed the delegates had the capacity of
thinking. [ApplauSe]. If there was a
delegation present unable to inStantan-
eOuslY select member for any commit
tee that delegation ought to withdraw.
Applause. Let them have free ex-
preston of the Democracy of Minnesota.
A Free Expression.
Mr.. Campbell disliked to disagree
with Mr.. O'Brien, but he maintained
that they would have just as free an eX
preston Of Democratic opinion If the
selection of committees was left to the
chairman. The delegations were liable
to take some man and pat him on the
back for benefits to be secured at some
election. Could not the convention
trust the chairman to give them fair
shake?
j. II. Ives (Ramsey) considered that
Mr.. Campbell was perfectly right in the
position he took in this matter.
E. Durant (WashngtOn) asked the
new historical question:: 'What are
we here for?' and gave the reply: ''To
serve the best interests of the Demo
cratic party" Mr.. O'Brien's motion
was the correct one.
A Delegate-IIow many members do you
propose 10 have on the committees Mr.
Nj. O'Brien = One member from each
county.
Mr.. Campbell-That is eighty-one mem
bers?
Mr.. O'Brien-Yes, and why not? Each
member who has spoken has congratulated
the convention because there are hundreds
of Democrats present.

Mr. Campbell-No, sir; it has nothing to

Senator Craven-My position is this: The
delegates here have travelled hundreds of
miles to participate in this convention. We
do not want the state central committee TO
do the work before us. We are capable of
doing all that there is to do. and for that rea-

looks as though Harrison would be nom-

stock in trade before Cleveland was
elected was that if a Democrat were
elected president rebels would be pen-
stoned and the country turned over to
the South, but Grover Cleveland made
a good president, the rebels were not
pensioned and no revolution occurred,
and that is why Cleveland will get
great many Republican votes it nom

Never saw such a large and harmo-

state, was the universal comment just
before the convention came to order.
And so it seemed. The hall was bright

But the row came early. Chairman
Campbell and Secretary Smalley per-
formed their ministerial functions and
got the temporary organization under

the name of Editor Haven for temporary
