Monday was the busiest day Of the Re

of ono hundred, and the over-sunday

which its delegate In Congress achieved
by a speech which he made at the
Fiftieth Congress, wherein he satirizod
the Democratic administration for its
shortcomings with reference to tho
material interests Of tho west.
ellis speech, which sounded like a
Republican one, was greeted by Mon
tana Democrats with great enthusiasm.
This was shown at the Chicago conven.
ton by Montana casting her votes for
Horace Boise for President, who was
utterly unknown in Montana, and with
out standing there, other than that he
was the club with which it was sup.
posed Grover Cleveland might be killed.
When Mr.. Cleveland was nominated, to
show their further hostility to him, the
vote of Montana was cast for Bourke
Cochran for vice president, who was
ineligible for two reasons. This was,
nevertheless, the best method Of show
ing their hostility to Grover Cleveland,
and they voted for him.
"of course, every Democrat who is o

tility Of Mr.. Cleveland to tho west,
which in 1889 was supplemented by the
friendliness OF Mr.. Harrison and his
administration, which has been shown
inathousand ways, and, therefore, l
am confident that Montana will vote for
Harrison"
John W. Conner, who represented
the Knoxville, Tennessee, district at
the Minneapolis convention, called
upon General Clarkson yesterday. Mr..
Corners district gave Harrison in 1888
maiorities in 1856 out Of 1856 election pre-.
cincts. Mr.. Conner brought lots OF
good news. The Democrats Of Tennes-
see are permanently and hopeiessiy d.
yided, he thinks. The action Of the
convention in refusing denomination
to Governor Buchanan has Disguised
his many friends in the state. The in
dorsement OF the Third party makes the
governor formidable opponent to the
regular Democratic nominee, Peter
Turney. The Alliance vote will serious

headquarters yesterday and had inter
views with Chairman Carter, Secretary
MeSenaas and General Clarkson. The
governor intends to take very active
part in the campaign, speaking for the
committee wherever they desire. The
calls for his services are almost as nu.
merous us the cities in tho United
states. There is no state aud scarcely o
considerable community which is not
asking for at least one speech from
Governor Mckinley. He left early in
the afternoon for Seabright, N. j.,
where he Intends to spend day or two
resting. He will then 60 to Vermont
and Maine. On August so he will make
aspeech in Vermont, and on Septem-
her and 6 he will make two speeches

second at point to be hereafter de-
cided by Chairman Manley, OF tho state
committee.
Governor Mckinley, before no left
the city, said with regard to Ohio, that
Its majority for Harrison would be
much greater, in his opinion, than that
given for the Republican national
ticket in 1883.
.'The situation in Ohio" he said. "is
as fayorable as we have any right to ex-
pect. THE question with Us, OF all
Other questions, Is the tariff. Our peo-
pic accept tho Democratic national
platform as demand for free trade
oitre and simple. Tho Democrats wore
presented by their committee on reso-
buttons with prepared resolution do
claring practically for protection. This
they rejected, and, instead, they adopt
ed q plank saying that protection was
Unconstitutional, and that tho national
Congress could have regard for nothing
yhatayer Ia formulating tariff except
the necessity for governmental reve-
nues. This Is the most outspoken FREQ
trade declaration that has been made
since the adoption Of tho famous free
e eslSt SS In Ohio we Sro not pre-
pared for free trade. Our people do not
want II and won't have it, and - long
astho Democrats conduct their cam-
paigns on tho free trade issue they
must expect an overwhelming verdict
against them in Ohio"
Senator Pottigrew, OF South Dakota,
received adyices from that state Of tho
most encouraging nature yesterday.
