is AFTER THE NOMINATION.
Governor Richards Publicly Announces
His Candidacy.

Independent: All doubt as to the in
tentions of the present governor of the
state. with reference to a denomination
and re-election. if there ever were any
doubts, will be set at rest by the fol-
lowing interview he had Saturday
with a reporter for the Inter- Mountain.
in which it is said:
Gov. John +. Richards is spending
the day in Butte, partly on official and
partly on private business.
His excellency lacked his usual cheer
fulness this morning, having just learn
ed that since he left the capital Mrs.
Richards was seized with an attact of
quincy. He is greatly concerned about
her, and will return at once possibly
taking her to California, should the
family physician so advise.
IF you have a moment to talk poll
tics" said the reporter. would you
mind stating whether you will be a
candidate for denomination before the
state republican convention?"
My intentions in that direction
seem to have been suspected in some
quarters ., said the governor with a
smile. Frankly. will say that my
name will be presented. The ambition
to be the governor of so fine a state as
Montana is honorable and my friends
will present my claims to recognition"
Upon what will they be based, gov
ernor?:"
Upon the record l have made in the
executive Office. If it is satisfactory l
would like it to be endorsed and l
should feel greatly honored by a re-
nomination. If it has not been salts
factory, l shall retire. satisfied that at
least have done my duty as I under
stood it,"
Are you hopeful of the RESULT"
II am. l have been governor during
the formative period Of the young state.
Under my administration the state
buildings have been begun and l think
my familiarity with the work fits me to
continue it, should the convention be
pleased to investigate the facts"
Then you do not believe in an inter-
change of horses during that perilous
crisis which is incident to the progress
OF the Wayfarer from one side of the
river to the other::"
That sounds all right said the
governor. "and [ hope such a senti-
ment Will find expression in the Repub-
llcan platform. I regard horse-trading

Vaughn Case.

Some Results Of Its Deliberation-The
Vaughn Case.
The United States court convened
this afternoon at two o'clock with
Judge Knowles upon the bench, says
the Helena Herald. Lee Perrin,
against whom was found an indictment
last Friday by the grand jury, was fin
ed $1,000. He was charged in the in
dictment with unlawfully returning to
the Grow reservation after having been
warned off. He was tried and convict
ed.
After ~disposing of the Perrin case,
an indictment was read by Clerk
Sproule. This is the second indict-
ment handed IN at this sitting of the
grand jury. The true bill was against
Frank Vaughn, a young fellow resid-
ing in Livingston. He is not more
than Is years Of age. The indictment
charges him with sending an immoral
letter and picture through the mails to
Miss Grace McQuirk, a young lady of
Livingston, aged about Is. The letter
was mailed on February ID, 1896.
After the reading of the Indictment,
Judge Knowles asked Vaughn who had
been arrested, and brought up from
Livingston, if he had an attorney. He
replied that he had not, and would not
be able to employ one unless his mother
put up the necessary funds, He had
previously written his mother asking
for the money, and expects to hear
from her tomorrow Attorney Nc
Donald was appointed to defend him
in cas- his mother did not comply with
his request.
After a few minutes consultation
with his attorney, Vaughn pleaded not
guilty to the Indictment as read. The
judge forthwith placed his bond at
$1,000.
The court then took a recess until
2 o'clock tomorrow.

house, and march through the prin-
cipal streets to Twenty-fourth street,

to carry the column to Moline, where
the march will be taken up again,
and after proceeding through the

given an excursion down the stream
and up the Hennepin canal and back
to this city.
The Mayor Call.

| tees Of the Western Hospital for the
Insane having informed us that the
corner stone for said institution will
be laid the latter part OF the month.
aud as the board expects the twin

of the day., we do hereby request

Says the Prohibition Party's Success Is
the Only Salvation of Temperance.
Last evening Mrs. Mary c. Leavitt
gave an address in favor of national
prohibition, as solution of the drink
problem in this country, at the First
Baptist church.
Under no other form of govern
ment is this so imperative" said the
speaker. The clear brain, good
heart and steady hand necessary to
good government must, in repub-
lie, be possessed by the masses, not
by ruler or rulers alone. For 40
years temperance people have been
working for prohibition by state
legislation and have succeeded in
obtaining and maintaining it in six
states only. The Legislation must be
national.
"A prohibition party is a neces-
sity for the success of prohibition.
To the success of this party the bal
lot for woman is q necessity. This
fact has been asserted by both the
liquor interest and the temperance
people,"
Mrs. Leavitt will speak tonight on
