a duel between Thomas j. Geary and Gen.
Cutting, congressman Of California, was
prevented by the offices of Hon. Henri Wat

the story runs, Geary was seated at Cham
congressman and Col. Watterson. Gen.
Cutting. in q state Of agitation. came into
the room and addressed Geary and friends.
Cutting was not acquainted with anyone in
the party except Geary, and he did not in
troduee him. This seemed to annoy Cutting
and he is said to have displayed 2 purpose
to lningle with the party anyhow, Geary re-
fusing TO enter into conversation with his
colleague. Cutting, it is said. first sneered
at Geary's Chinese exclusion bill, then
called Geary a liar, aud finally applied to
him a foul opithet. Then. white with anger,
Geary is said to have risen and grasping a
patent match safe gave Gen: Cutting a

The journal yesterday morning made
a very ludicrous error in its effort to
show that the nomination Of President
Harrison was already clinched. According
to its Washington dispatch 225 delegates
have already been instructed for the
president, or one more than enough to
nominate him on the first ballot. Our
contemporary should not allow its en-
thusiasm to reach the point Of deludlng
its readers. There will be 852 delegates
in the republican national convention
besides the delegates admitted from ter
r~itories. The successful candidate for
the nomination must secure a majority
of these votes. saa

AT BozEMAN, U N 9.

Thesstate committee at Great Falls
yesterday very wisely decided to hold
two state conventions. The convention
to choose delegates to Chicago will be
held at Bozeman June 8, while the state
ticket will be nominated at Great Falls
later on. ".2a#@. # z-~
Democrats Of the state will be en-
| tirely satisfied with this action. Boze-
man has all necessary accommodations
for delegates, while no fault can be
found with the date. The representa-,
ton Of delegates will be large, 313 in all
or one delegate to every fifty voters
on the basis OF the vote fol
Congressman Dixon. 1t will be
a body too large to be handled by any
party clique though any attempt Of thit
sort is not anticipated. That it will be
an enthusiastic and harmonious gather
ing of democrats from all sections o
the state admits Of no doubt.
The year 1892 promises to be a season
of democratic victories and it is we'll tina
Montana democrates should begin tn,
fight under the best conditions. TIL
state committee made a good start; it i
now the party's duty to choose goo
delegates who will be on hand when tn
roll is called at Bozeman.

A BRILLIANT DISCOVERY.

The Butte Inter Mountain processes
to discover in the movement to organize
silver clubs a deep-laid democratic plot
to throw the next presidential election
into the house of representatives. But,
after q parrot-like repetition Of this
wonderful scheme in a column editorial,
it fails to tell how it can be worked. 1t
is easy enough to make any sort of pro-
phesy, but moro difficult to give intelli-
gent reasons for believing in it. When
the Inter Mountain carries it's discovery
a little further, and points out a way for
throwing the presidential election into
the house of representatives, we shall be
delighted to continue the discussion.
The only possible condition for such a
result would be the organization of a
free silver party, wholly independent of
the present political organizations and
with a platform, and candidates Of its
own. No sane man believes that any
thing of the sort will be done, nor has it
been seriously considered by aver the
strongest friends of free coinage. The
silver clubs of Colorado and Montana
are composed of men of both p%olltica.
parties. The object is to use all efforts
to bring about the free coinage Of silver
by employing all legitimate methods
but without organizing nev
party on this issue. We are not aware
that this has been even suggested !,
Montana. The only purpose is for dem
ocrats and republicans to unite il
forcing the proper recognition of silve
on the two political parties. /
the Inter Mountain heartily favors non
partisan silver clubs, as it processes, VII
, does it not come out with a good, squar
], endorsement of the half-dozen or MOI
silver clubs already organized in TIL
state?

an atmosphere OF speculation. Every

oped mines for his nast-eQg. II Ia natural
that this should be. The stories Of quick

mind arc supported by the pres

high as seven dollars n day, and the very

find wealth. polish and refinement, noble
dwellings. palatial hotels and numerous

error is to repair it. #s@

NoRTn DAKOTA has had no method pre-

That lie has travelled far enough. The
