THE CITY ELECTION.
Much Interest Manifested. But no Ex-
citement.

citement.
Tuesday, March, 5th, is the day
set aside by charter for holding the
election of municipal officers. On
that day it is customary for, the
friends of the opposing candidates
to vie with each other in securing
votes for their respective candid
ates. In the past much interest
has been manifested, and on sever
al occasions, when two full tickets
were in the field some excitement
came to the surface. Then it was
that the ring" was pitted against
the 'scabs" and vice versa. This
year, however, while much interest
was taken in the outcome of the
election, there was little, if any, ex-
citement, from the fact that no
votes were cast for marshal, in
which heretofore has been the foun-
dation of the contest. Consequent-
ly there was nothing this year of
any interest except that which was
extracted from the race of the two
candidates for councilmen-E. r.
Cox and CA. Barrett In this case
the contest was on the old grounds,
and the friends of the two gentle
man went to the polls in full force.
When the votes were counted it
was proven q very close race-Mr. s
Cox receiving rs votes and Mr..
Barrett 80.
The rae for Recorder was tame,
w. I. Gilman, the present incum-
bent, received 1872 votes and DR.. I.
N. Richardson receiving 3S. DR..
Richardson informs the reporter
that he never consented to the useof
his name as a candidate for the Of
flee of Recorder, and further stated
that he had no desire for the office
whatever.
The gentleman who will control
the destinies of the city the coming
year are as follows, together with
the number Of votes received:
Mayor
G. w. Hollis-t35.

e. r. Cox-70.

Illegal issue Of these warrants. 1 am
a young man with some ambition for
the future. and for my own protection
and that of other innocent parties l
believe IT best that the public should
be made acquainted with the facts. 1
have made a close examinations OF
every warrant that was issued during
the Dugan administration and / think
that all of the warrants except the
ones which I have reported. with posi-
bly, one or two exceptions, were all
right. In regard to the one or two
exceptions. / don't consider that
have sufficient evidence TO justify me
In declaring them illegal at this time.
/ am positive that there were no ille-
gal warrants issued after Jan. 3, 1895.
for after that date. / kept a close and
careful watch on all warrants that
were issued"
In reply to a question as to whether
or not he placed any confidence in the
reports that Simon Jacobs had $4,000
worth of warrants stolen from him,
Mr. Miller said: 1T is my honest be-
lief that Mr.. Jacobs never had $4,000
worth of warrants stolen from him, as
he alleged. If he had / am almost GER
tain that would have discovered some
trace of the robbery in going through
the books and warrants. The only way
in which such a thing could have hap
pened Is that Mr.. Jacobs might have
cashed 5000 worth of warrants and
then held them as cash instead OF can
ceiling them. In order to avoid detec-
ton the parties stealing these war
rants would have ITO return them to the
parties who originally cashed them.
There are about $4,000 worth of war
rants outstanding which have not been
reported TO the city clerk, and Ii Is pos
sible that the $4,000 OF alleged stolen
warrants may be among them. out IL Is
not at all probable. If they are among
them they will surely be detected"
The conditions under which Mr.. Mil
Ter and Mr.. Murphy have made the in
vestigation are unknown except to
Captain Waters, Mayor Thompson and
some of the aldermen. Captain Waters
displayed good deal of tact and
shrewdness in connection with the in
vestigation, however, and he is natur-
ally well pleased at the results that
have so far been attained.
A little. more than a year ago the
assistant city clerk in Helena fabrica-
ted warrants in precisely the same
manner in which Perrin Irvine is ac-
cused of fabricating them. The total
shortage of the Helena clerk amounted
to $S,400. The warrants of which the
Helena clerk received the benefits. were
all signed by Mayor Weed, just as the
Dutte Warrants were signed Dy Mayor
Dugan. Nothing has appeared so far TO
show that Mr.. Dugan is concerned in
the Butte forgerles any more than Mr..
Weed was concerned in the Helena for
geries.
The city evidently intends to make a
test case and will have N decided in
the courts whether the city is obligated
to pay forged warrants. This matter
has never been decided. 1t was not de-
cided in the case of the Helena forger-
les last year. The warrants alleged to
be forged bear the signatures of the
mayor and the city clerk, and 1t is a
question to be determined by the
courts whether or not they must be
paid. The holders of the warrants can
bring suit against the city if they
choose

Progress toward better business con

stacles. In speculative aspects and in
wholesale demand for goods, tho week
shows improvement. Money markets are
undisturbed and a little more active
But among the chief obstacles Is the
anxiety of operatives TO secure better wages,
even while many manufacturing works
are running without profit, and others at
the risk OF loss. In number OF estab-
lishments better wages have been con
ceded, thus increasing the purchasing
power of the people, but strikes have
