selves,

4 number of representative democrats
who attended the state convention at
Butte originated movement to have
Montana represented by large delega-
tion at Chicago during the convention.
The proposition is to have about $50
citizens attend in q body and act as an
escort t) the delegates. A special train
of Pullman cars will be chartered, to go
through direct, and they will be side
tracked al Chicago so they can be used
during the convention a band will be
secured TO accompany the party, and
other arrangements necessary to
make the trip pleasant and at
tractive will be made. The propo-
sition is one that should meet
with favor. \ representation of that
character from Montana would help to
swell the silver enthusiasm in the con
ventiOn and demonstrate that our people
are in earnest for the cause. In order
that arrangements cau be made, it is
suggested that those Of this section who
are desirous of being Of the party make
up their minds al once, and send in their
names to TIE TRIBUNE. This will
surely be more acceptable way of al.
tending the convention than going it
alone and we hope that Cascade county
will be well represented.

HOW M,KINLEY WON.
And How Senator Cullom Accepted
the Situation.

And How Senator Cullom Accepted
the Situation
Springfield. May William MeKin-
ley. Jr., Of Ohio. is the choice Of the Re
pubucans of Illinois for president OF the
United States. He was so declared at
the Republican state convention. He
was not only declared the choice, but
the overwhelming choice of the people
Of the state who believe in the princi-
pies Of the Republican party. Every
EFFORT and scheme known to veteran
politicians was brought to bear upon
the delegates to induce them to name
another man, but all the schemes
failed That the people Of this state
were pleased with the choice was made
evident by the applause Of the 1900
spectators and visitors who gathered
from all parts Of the state to attend the
convention. Nearly every man, woman
and child in the vast throng arose at
the mention OF the name Of the Buck
eye statesman and for nearly five min
utes shouted and yelled and cheered.
Hats were thrown in the air by the
more enthusiastic and for a time it
seemed as if the vast crowd had gone
raving mad.
with becoming grace. OF course, he was
disappointed. but he is in no sense what
might be termed sore over the action
Of the convention He gave out the fol-
lowing statement regarding the result
of the convention. The Republicans
of Illinois have shown that they want
the delegates at large to support Ma
jor Mckinley for president That act
ion is binding and conclusive 1t is not
to be construed as unfriendly to any Of
the candidates, but an expression of
their preference. Every Republican in
Illinois viii accept it. Personally, I
have no fault to find. I came out of
the convention as I have been in the
habit of doing for years past, particu-
larly when held in my own home That
some OF my friends gave their prefer
ence to Major Mckinley was perhaps
natural, as ne has been in the minds
of the people as a candidate for the last
two or three years. Some months ago
when the conditions seemed such that
my friends believed it would be advan-
tageous to Illinois to have my name as
a candidate at St Louis, I left the mat
ter In their hands Ny public duties
have kept me in Washington and I
have had no canvass. The preference
which the Republicans Of the state
have shown viii be faithfully carried
out in the national convention. If
Major Mckinley should be nominated,
it viii be because Of the popular belief
that he most thoroughly typihes those
cardinal principles of the Republican
party which are embodied in our plat
form

thought OF the statement he made more
than two years ago on this floor. when
he told as what a great sacrifice he
was making ia coming to congress
when he had an income from his law
practice of $4,000 a year. And 4 thought
what a big heart that man must have
who would begrudge the granting of a
pension OF s. month TO a poor widow
when he received more in one day from
his income than she would receive in
one long year.
But I want to say to you. BIr. Chair-
man and gentlemen Of the house, that
the man who can listen without feeling
to the appeal of the widows and the
old soldiers OF this countryside man
who can listen without feeling to their
appeals must have q heart that an =
ray could not penetrate. he stated
to the house this afternoon that the
people were against the enlargement
Of the pension laws that congress had
gone Iar enough. I want to call his
attention to this fact. On the % day
Of May, 1855. the old soldiers marched
down Pennsylvania avenue, and az
they came TO the treasury building they
saw on that building canvas contain
ing these words There 1s one debt
the government owes which it can
never pay, and that is the debt it owes
TO the soldiers and sailors who served
THAT was the sentiment OF the coun-
try then, and, Mr. Chairman, THAI is
the sentiment Of the country today,
and it win always be the sentiment OF
the country.
Mr. Chairman. 40 not like the way
this bin is limited. I think the trouble
with the bin is that it does not go fan
enough; and that is the sentiment IN
the section Of the country that I have
the honor to renTesent on this door.
The old soldiers of this country, those
who took part in that war which saved
the Union, have waited a long and
weary time, and have waited long
enough They are entitled to more
than this bin gives them. and want
to call the attention OF the gentleman
from Alabama TO the fact that every
general pension law ever written upon
the statute books was written there by
Republican votes in the house and SEN
ate, so that party, when restored to
power again. as it will be on the 4th
of March, 1897 it viii do full justice
to every old soldier, and to the widow
OF every old soldier. and to the orphan
of every old soldier in this country
And one Of its first acts VIII be to right
the wrongs this administration has
done to the brave defenders Of this
country.

TELEPHONE SUFFERING.
It Cost 50, and Now Two Old Partners
Are Sadly Estranged.

Hobson shutters. Hobson is a first class
business man, and his vocal indrmity has
never intorfered until recently with the
profits Of tho we'll known firm Of Hobson
& Dobson.
Hobson is q progressive man, ever on
the alert to adopt modern methods. He
was one of the first local subscribers to the
telephone and has kept right up with the
march Of inventions in all its ramidca-
tions. As a wide awake man Hobson was
not slow to grasp the posi- Utilities Of the
long distance telephone. And that is how
Hobson and Dobson came to have the first
dispute which marred years Of profitable
partnership.
Dobson went TO New York last week
he made his headquarters at a we'll known
Gotham hotel and photographed Hobson Of
his arrival in the eastern town Tt seems
that an eastern customer had failed to
keep a certain agreement, the details Of
which were familiar to HobsOn, but not to
Dobson. 1t would take a long telegram to
explain the details fully, and Hobson de-
cided to call Dobson up on the long dis
lance telephone The rate for conversation
between Chicago and New York is So for
five minutes after the proper connections
are made and communication established
