Glendive, Mont, Dec. 10-The treas
urership of Dawson county is some
what muddled. The election returns of
November. 1894, showed Henry Dieon
elected by three majority, and a GER
tificate of election was issued to him
by the board of county commissioners,
but A. s. Gillespie. the former treas
urer and Dieon's opponent, gave up the
office under protest. Gillespie entered
suit, claiming irregularities in several
precincts and demanded a recount.
of the ballots in the precincts named
and after the count, declared the vote
a tie and that no election had been
held. The order of tine court was read
to the board of commissioners Monday.
Dec. 2, and they appointed Henry
Dieon to temporarily fill the office. on
the 9Th they requested Mr.. Dieon to
file a new bond in five days. To-day
the board of commissioners appointed
A. s. Gillespie as county treasurer.
Yesterday Strevelle q Porter, attorneys
for Gillespie, appealed from the de-
cision of the district court. Dieon has
possession of the Office and declares he

preme court renders its decision,

Governor Bradley, Republican, Formally
Takes the Oath.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 10.-William
OConnell Bradley at noon to-day was
sworn in as governor of Kentucky and
the first republican administration in
the history of the commonwealth was
ushered in. There were ten times as
many people here by noon as ever
before came to witness an Inaugural
tion. The procession was a lengthy
one and at noon IL reached the state
house. Fully 10000 people were gather
ed here to witness the ceremonies.
Mayor Julian presided. DR.. w. c. Tay-
Tor offered prayer. Judge w. H. Holt
delivered the address of parting and
welcome. Then came the valedictory
of the retiring governor. John Young
Brown.
Then Governor-elect Bradley followed
with an address. He said in part:
THE credit and honor of the state and
nation are Of the first importance. The
recent popular verdict which has de-
clared in favor of the use of both gold
and silver as money, but at the same
time the maintenance of the best and
highest standard so that every dollar
shah be of equal value should be ac-
cepted and adhered to, and while the
public credit should be protected, we
should none the less favor a well regu-
lated system of protection to every
branch OF American industry; such
a system as will encourage genius;
nourish and increase diversified indus
tries, maintain and enlarge the home
market and protect every honest son
OF toll from degradation and competi-
ton with the pauper labor of the old
world. Together with this, should be
fostered that reciprocity which VIM in
sure a free exchange OF our products
with other nations for commodities
which cannot be successfully grown or
manufactured in this country. The &C
and maintenance of these
economic measures will develop our
resources, advance our material pros
perity and give Kentucky a position
she Is entitled to occupy in the sister,
hood of states. Above all things, the
constitution and laws within its spirit
must be enforced. Mob violence which
has its home IN the breast of towards
should be prevented at all hazards,
and IL committed, should be properly
and severely punished"
The oath was administered by Chief
Justice Pryor. This evening Governor
and family will be entertained
at dinner by Ex-Governor Brown, in the
executive mansion. Tonight the in
augural ball will be given.
