tory. b it is evident that the main
battle not yet fought. There was
only attic skirmishing, sparring for |
place. and the battle will wage all |
alongl lie line on Wednesday night at |
the pnaries, and neither of the tick |
cts with won last night is safe.
Thdd-line republicans claim to have |
solid elegations by last nights eau |
cusesrom all the Walkerville, Center |
Vile nd Meaderville precincts from |
SoutIButte, the majority from East |
Buttend the Parrot corner, and solid
deleeions from Divide and Melrose.
Theylaim that the delegates outside
of Rlte, with what they can win in
Butt will insure them the majority in
the nvention. The strength of the A.

the ghting was in the city. The A. p.

cit of Butte and count on Butte to
coirol the convention.
