Chicago, Nov. 6.-Chairman Jones
formally conceded the defeat of Will
liam j. Bryan last night and made his
last presidential campaign statement
to the public as follows:
The result of the presidential election
IS apparently no longer in doubt. 1t has
been one of the closest contests that the
people have been called on to determine
in recent years. We have claimed the cleo
ton on our advices from states that were
admittedly In doubt. In which we knew
there had been many frauds and from
which there were evidences Of tamperinR
with the returns. 1t seems now to be ap-
parent that. while Mr.. Bryan. after making
the most brilliant campaign in the his
tory or our country, has carried most OF
the states claimed to be doubtful, but
has not carried enough TO assure his sue
cess in the electoral college. Bryan electors
have been chosen IN all the states south
OF the Potomac and Ohio. except West
Virginia. and all those west of the Mis-
souri, except California and Oregon. He
has 1870 electoral votes. and this number
may be increased by hnal returns from
states yet In question.

Cause OF the Defent.

Thus this remarkable campaign closes
with the election OF William Mckinley.
The result was brought about by every kind
OF coercion and intimidation on the part
OF the money power. including threats OF
lockouts and dismissais and impending
starvation; by the employment of by far
the largest campaign fund ever used in this
country and by the subornation of a large
portion OF the American press. The presi-
dent-elect and his party are under pledge
20 the American people to continue the
gold standard and by Its operation to re-
store prosperity to this country. As chief
executive Mr.. Mckinley will have the cor
dial support OF the millions OF patriotic

CLOUD BURST.
Startling Flood of Water on the Noun.
tains 12 Miles From Deer LODGE

Startling Flood of Water on the Noun
tains IL Miles From Deer Lodge.
The storm Of Sunday, which brought
the heaviest downpour of rain ever seen
in this city, was notable for some re-
markable accompanying phenomena at
other points. While Of the nature of an
exceedingly copious rain fall here which
turned the streets into small lakes it
seems to have partaken Of the nature of
cloud burst elsewhere Robert
Harris, who is mining in Boomerang
gulch, gives us an account of his expert
ences which is quite thrilling.
While doing some work at his reser-
voir MIR. Harris was first startled by the
sudden appearance Of an appalling black
cloud which settled down close upon the
mountains and was Immediately follow
ed by deep and sullen roar which he first
mistook for wind. AS it rapidly ap-
preached he started in the direction Of
his cabin for the purpose of seeking
shelter when he was awestricken at the
apparition of vast wall of water which
came tearing into sight in the gulch and
rapidly bore down towards his reservoir
re describes it asa most terrifying spec
tacle, as it swept madly down the course
OF the gulch, column of water 20 feet
vide and two or three feet high, bearing
before 1T an accumulation Of timber,
brush and other debris. Without in the
least being arrested by the reservoir, it
passed onward, gathering force as it
went and disappeared.
In few moments large rain drops
began to fail and these rapidly increased
until all at once without warning q flood
seemed to fall from the skies, and Mr..
Harris states that had he not had the
gold pan in his hand by which he was
enabled to shield his face he would have
been suffocatcd. AS it was the water fair
~ entered his mouth and nose making it
extremely difficult for him to breathe
This continued for some fifteen min
utes and then gradually subsided. After
the storm had entirely passed the noun
tain side upon which he stood became
everywhere a sheet of water 3 or inches
in depth which lashed its way down into
the gulch. Mr. Harris says that in
quarter of a century's experience in the
mountains he never witnessed so strange
and remarkable storm. "

thoroughfares; its buildings are not up to
the standard Of those Of some Of the most
inconsiderable agricultural villages of the
state. Deer Lodge has incomparably
more elaborate and beautiful homes,
though the comparison may be limited to
the one point of architecture alone, with
out considering the infinite charms of
their environment, while Bozeman, Bill
lings and Missoula greatly surpass it in
ornate business structures, with few if
any exceptions.
However there is money in Butte, more
money per capita in circulation than can
be found in any city Of equal size in the
world, undoubtedly, and that is what the
world is struggling for, after all, in this,
most ofall, utilharian age. In these SOM
bre and unornamental blocks hundreds
of thousands of dollars pass from hand
to hand daily, and the banks are ex-
changes which in the bulk Of their bust
ness show up in the local clearing house
with majesty of aggregates like the big
institutions of the East.
The arid and repellent surroundings of
Butte make it easy to understand why its
people are occasionally glad to escape
from its tawny, smoke-wrapped hills and
oppressive streets, to the sweet sunny
fields and pleasant groves Of Deer Lodge.
If more inducements were made they
would come oftener.
Butte's liveliest aspect is after G at
night when its streets become literally
packed with surging multitude largely
made up of the underground working
force who are then out for business or
pleasure. The big saloons become dense
ly packed with a crowd who gather and
drink beer and listen to the music of
first class orchestras, while the second
floor gambling houses, but thinly masked
by the flight Of steps, While the transac-
tions within are clearly seen from the
streets through open easements, are the
picturesque scene Of a phase Of life only
to be found in the mining communities
Of the mountain states, and finds a pecu-
liar reflection here. #... s.-
Butte has no other prototype on earth
nor can the man who has not viewed it
lay claim to having seen the world

THE CAUSE OFT,
How Our People View the Services of Mon

How Our People View the Services of Mon
tana's Governor For Silver.
DEER LODGE, July 16Few people
fully realize the credit due Governor
Richards for the great tidal wave that is
sweeping over the country in favor of
the free coinage Of silver. Outside of
the silver states a few months ago the
silver sentiment was so unlmportant as
to give little if any concern to the gold
men. 1t was customary to speak Of the
"Handful' of silver men in the west as
"Cranks" and very little consideration
was accorded them. But Governor Rick
ards hit upon a new plan to proselyte for
the cause of the white metal; one vastly
superior to the ordinary one of sending
out speakers to advocate its claims upon
the rostrum. He called a silver conven-
tion to meet in Salt Lake to devise ways
and means to project an educational
campaign that would place the best sill
yer literature obtainable in the hands of
the rural voters in all sections of the
country. The convention was the begin
ming of the work of distributing literature,
until to the utter surprise OF the gold
men Of the East the rural voters who had
been denied information through the
subsidized press betrayed a knowledge
Of the question that placed them in tie
ranks Of the silver men. 1t is now CON
ceded that there is a wonderful uprising
among the farmers and laborers of the
East and that the silver cause will have
great following in the principal gold
bug states. The conference called by
Governor Richards has proved to be the
stone cut out Of the mountain, gathering
momentum as it rolls until it promises
to crush the hosts of error and give to
redeemed country an honest and sound
financial policy Of bimetallism.
