trated within its lovely limits. Never be-
fore in this city. IL in fact, ever before in
Montana, was there such q display of ora.
tory heard as held tho delegates and citi.
zens alike from early this afternoon until
late this evening.
There were orators from all sections of
tho state. Silver Dow sent o legion of in
spring takers, including such brilliant
orators as Calderhead, Colman, Meaney,
shifeibin, Cunningham and McGrath,
donovan OF Cascade, Knapp and Grant
or Ravalli Mitchell of Deer Dodge, Ken
nedy OF Jefferson, Edwards Of Gallatin,
and many other takers who could talk
were heard from. while Lewis and Clarke
county sent delegation of II orators,
VINO fought from the beginning of the
convention to its close for tho nomination
OF Davies OF Helena for associate Judge
and Oker Of Marysville for congress.
The sentiment of tho convention was
overwhelmingly for Reeves of Missoula
for associate judge, and he was nominated
with ease.
The contest between Smith and OKer
for the congressional nomination was a
battle royal. At the start the sentiment
OF tho convention was undoubtedly al
most solid for Smith. Carleton of Helena,
however, made SO brilliant talk In adyo-
cacy of O'Ker that he created a strong
Oker sentiment, which was greatly in
creased when Caldwell Edwards, in a
strong speech, came out for him. Tho
talking was not finished until 0 o'clock.
and from the applause given the respect.
I've candidates 1t was difficult TO tell
which was in tho majority.
II was finally concluded to trot out both
candidates AID hear them talk. Joe
Cher' the workingman, first took the
noor' a.id certainly made most favor
aoie impression. He spoke 30 minutes
an.d then Bob Smith summed up his case
N % minutes and was warmly applauded
as he declared himself now and forever
with the principles OF tho populist party.
j. II. Calderhcad Of Butte was placed in
nomination and. while he had not at any
time declared himself q candidate, and
was not after tho nomination, he made
stirring speech of 10 minutes.

| in the town upon its arrival with full
