"There was feeling Of disappointment,

pointment and addressed magnificent
audience in this city. Voters and ladies
came from miles around and it was the
largest audience ever gathered in Kaiis-
pell that greeted Mr.. Donovan. The
speech was an eloquent one, dealing fully
with the monetary question, and the
speaker was cheered repeatedly. The
enthusiasm was astonishing and the
speech converted many, who have here.

Special correspondence from Glasgow "
says: ATTORNEY James Donovan of
Great Falls addressed an audience here
that crowded the hall to the utmost and
delivered the ablest, most comprehensive
and most eloquent exposition OF the

gov. 1t was effective, too, and made
many votes for the silver candidates,
placing Valley in the list of certain
Bryan counties. Every hearer wae
pleased and an invitation to Mr.. Dono
van to again address the voters prior to
the election will be extended"
From Havre comes the following:

evening was decided success. The

Donovan was fluent, logical and forceful

James Dwight, in advancing an opin-
Ion on the advantages and disadvan.

pionship, says: II believe in having
the champion stand out. If he did not,
he would have almost no chance Of win.
ming three times, especially in success
sion, unless he is a very much better
player than his fellows. think he de-
serves this chance for having won be.
FORE" Clarence Hobart, in The Tennis
Bulletin, says: "In my opinion common
Justice demands that success in q pre-
oeding year should not be allowed to
give one competitor marked advan-
tage over all the others. The best play
er Of the year-to be determined by the
championship tournament, in which
each entry should have an absolutely
equal chance, with every Fictitious ad-
vantage eliminated - should be the
champion of the year." ]. 8. Clark
says, II believe that the policy which
the national association has followed in
these matters during the past cannot be
improved upon." Richard Stevens adds:
NJ think the champion should stand out
q he does at present. It adds greatly to
the interest taken in the tournament by
the public at large to have, as it were,
two big matches. First, the finals in
the all comers, and then the winner Of
the all comers meeting the champion.
It may give the champion little ad-
vantage not having had to play through
the tournament, but such advantage is
not so great as is imagined. The pres
ent system makes it more difficult for
second rate players to hold the cham
pionship, for even if such player had
very good luck and drawings and won
the all comers, he would have the cham.
pion to play before he could earn the IT,
tie. If the champion did not stand out.
then a lucky drawing might give the
championship to one who did not de-
servo it. New York Sun.

Peoples Party Candidate in Missouri
Resigns in Favor of the

THOMPSON, Ga, Oct. 19.-George F.
Washburn and H. w. Reed, members OF
the populist national committee, left
here today after conference of "a hours
with Il. E. Watson. Reliable informa-
ton is at hand which shows that one OBJ
ject Of the conference was to submit to
Watson some proposition from Chair
man Jones, the nature Of which both
gentlemen refuse to reveal 1t develops
that Chairman Jones had agreed to go
to Atlanta and meet Watson if the two
committeeman upon their arrival here
should think it necessary; otherwise he
would send personal representative
who stands high in the councils of the
party. Another object OF the meeting
was to induce Watson to modify in some
points his letter of acceptance, which
the two committeeman had in their
possession. The contents of the letter
were known to the populist COM
mittee at Chicago before the recent ad-
dress was issued. Committeeman Reed
te!egraphed Watson under no circum-
stances to give it to the public until
after conference with him. Watson
thereupon consented to hold it. Reed
appeared very much pleased with the re-
suit of his visit, and stated to political
friend that the Georgia populists were
very indignant that be should have
signed the address issued recently by
the populist committee at Chicago, but
their judgment and criticism were pre-
mature because they did not have the
information he had when the address
was issued, and intimated that bis
action had met the full appreciation of
Watson. Watson leaves here tomorrow
for Atlanta, where he will meet the
representative of Chairman Jones.

THAT FRAUDULENT CONVENTION


A Correspondent Wants to Know Some
thing More About It's Nominations,
A subscriber writes to THE TRIBUNE
to inquire if it is not against the law to
print on the ballot under the heading
"Silver Republican Ticket the names of
candidates known to represent goldbug
principles. Our correspondent has prob
ably in mind section 1854 of the politi-
cal code, which says "every ballot must
contain the name of the party or princi-
pies which the candidates represent"
etc. AS long as legal convention certi-
fies mans name for an Office, his name
must be printed under that heading, no
matter what the individuals sentiments
are or how much they may be in antag-
onlsm with those OF the party nominal.
ing him. The point, in relation to the
recent republican meeting, which called
lteef silver republican convention and
put IN nomination the entire list Of
goldbug republican candidates, is
that it was not legal convention in any
sense OF the word. In the first place, no
notice was given Of the purpose for
which the meeting was called and those
present at the meeting had previously
participated in the primaries which put
up the Mckinley county ticket. There
is little question but that the nomina.
tions made at the alleged silver republic
an convention would be set aside by the
supreme court if any person took sufIi-
cient interest in the matter to take it
into court, but the fraud has now been
pretty well exposed and the straddle- bug
ticket is defeated already.
