They WILL MEET TO-DAY
Deer Lodge County Republicans
Will Name State Delegates.
SOMETHING MAY TURN UP
A Caucus Was Held on Tuesday Even
ing at Which 1t Is Said a. Slate
Was Fixed Up-The
Delegates.

The republican county convention will
meet at 1890 o'clock to-day. The con-
vention will meet in the council cham
is a trifie later than the usual hour for
conventions, but this hour was named
so hat the delegates from the northern
part of the county, Deer Lodge, Garri-
son. Avo and the other places, might
come in on the train which arrives here
at IL O'Clock and be in ample time for a
lunch before the convention begins.
The business of the convention is to
name Is delegates and Is alternates TO
the state convention of the silver re-
p~ublicans, which occurs on the 21st.
After converting at II: 80 the convention
Will appoint its temporary chairman
n secretary, its credentials, resolu-
tions and other like committees and
then will take a recess, probably till 2
O'Clock, at which time these committees
will report. After the reports of the
committees have been received, the as
semblage will proceed to the selection
of the delegates to the state convention.
After concluding the selection of the
delegates to the state convention, the
republican county convention Will adj
tourn until Thursday, Sept. 90, when
the nominations for county officers will
be made.
1t is said that there will be quite a
time in to-day's convention. Mayor
Lesser and eight other republicans had
a aucus on. Tuesday night, and while
nobody seems to koew just exactly
what was done at the caucus, 1t is the
generally accepted statement that a
slate was fixed up for the state con-
vention. 1t is a curious fact that nearly
all of the men who have been allied
with the republican party for years and
who have heretofore been very promi-
nent in republican affairs did not at
tend the caucus. 1t is said that only a
select few were invited to the meeting
and that these few fixed things to suit
themselves.
The people who attended the caucus
meeting. it is said, are the same persons
who took such an interest in the repub-
lican primaries in the Third ward. What
the caucus slate will result in remains
to be seen, but the republicans who did
not attend the caucus freely say 1T Will
have no material bearing on the selec-
ton of representative republicans as
delegates to the state convention.
