WESTERN MENTION.


T. J. Mahoney, formerly of Rochester,
Mimi, but for some time past resident
of Tacoma, Wash, has recently opened
an undertaking establishment in the lat
ter city. He is prospecting and has hosts
of friends there. When the writer was
in Tacoma few weeks since move
ment was on foot to place him in nomin-
alton for Coroner If it comes his way
there can be but little doubt of his cleo
ton to the position.
Seattle has a thriving branch of the A..
O. H. "Con'' Carney is the presiding
officer and the prospects for large mem
bership are very hattsring. Among
those we noticed in attendance were the
following familiar faces, you will admit,
at Minneapolis or St. Paul meetings of
Hiberniana in other days: VIM. Nc
Ardle, Neil O'Hara, Jas. O'Donnell, Fl.
j. Conroy, the latter from the SANITY
| City. All seem to be thorough believers
in Seattle now.
There is division of the A. 0. Fl. in
Helena, Mont. The membership is not
very large, because it has not been long
since it was organized. Con. Kelly is
county delegate; Patrick Calvin, presi-
dent; j. B. Hogan, vice-president; David
Hanley, recording secretary; Thos. Cas-
! sidy, financial secretary; John Mitchell,
| treasurer; J. j. Bullman, sergeant-at-
arms; John Walsh, doorkeeper. There
! is good field in Helena for an excellent
division and no doubt advantage will be
taken OF it.
One of the stalwart Irishmen OF Mis-
soula, Mont. is 7. J. Mcnamara. It is
a pleasure to meet him for he has q mine
Of information regarding Montana's
early history. Thos. Francis Meagher,
was one of his near and dear friends and
his "reminiscences of Meagher's career in
MISUNDERSTANDING his death by drown
ing near Fort Benton--are interesting in
the extreme. Mr.. Mcnamara halls from
| County Glare, where he still has
brother. TIE IRISH STANDARD desires
| to return it's thanks to this Montanian
! for q picture Of Mrs. Thos. Francis
Meagher, the patriots wife.
One of the pretty cities along the liue
Of the N. r. is Missoula, Mont. JAS. "A.
Walsh, formerly resident of East Min
neapolin, has branched out in business
at that point and the firm Of Daily &
Walsh, successfully conduct as neat Il
butcher shop as Missoula affords. r.
Coebett, of Faribault, is another ex-Alin-
nesotian who is here and who believes
implicitly in the future of this Montana
city. P. Gogarty, the wel[known rail
road man, T. McCaferty, Williams and
Flynn, T. Hogan, John Hayes and JAS.
Osborne are also men who, in their yari-
Gus occupations, are doing we'll and de-
servedly popular.
John Collins, of Seattle was on the
committee from Washington to notify
Cleveland and Stephenson of their nom
nations. Mr.. Collins is counted among
| the wealthiest men in Seattle, and at the
same time a more common, everyday
man than John Collins perhaps does not
exist in this thriving Puget Sound city.
Bluff, open hearted and kind, wealth or
position has in no-wise turned his head
and he is a man who will naturally wear
! we'll and succeed amongst his felloNmen.
He is as consistent in politics as he is il
everything else and will leave nc stone
unturned. so far as lies in his power, to
place Washington in the Democratic
column this fall.
Dickinson, N. D., isn't as large as Min
neapolis, but it has just as many enter
prising citizens to the square yard as the
sawdust city, and that is certainly speak
ing volumes for the Dakota city. VIII
liam Ray is pretty good sample of
Dickinson enterprise. He is dealer in
fresh and salt meats, fruits and vege-
tables, is always busy, has large trade,
| is Democrat in politics and most en-
thusiastic one at that. IT each individual
Democrat in North Dakota does lis duty
as faithfully as Mr. Ray in the present
canvass, North Dakota's electoral vote
will be counted for Cleveland and Steph-
|enson.
| Sixty-fve miles southwest of Billings,
Mont, on branch line of the Northern
Pacific, is the village of Red lodge,
where mining is an industry that bids
fair to make this place of more than
ordinary Importance in the no distant
future. T. G. Ross, formerly of St. Croix
county, Wis, is practicing law at Red
Lodge, and is interested in general way
in mines and mining-so much so that
he has almost forgotten that he was once
a resident of the Badger State" We
