on Western farm property, and although
this is said TO have proved profitable. the

dermined. but that by iudicious manage
ment the property of the company can
be saved

Come Off-Depew Will Nominate

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for governor
and Timothy l.. Woodruff for lieutenant
governor.
Chauncey NJ Depew. who is to name
Mr.. Roosevelt. arrived here during the

didate has an almost clear field. 1t was
pretty well decided late tonight that
Governor Black will not go into the
convention. His friends are urging him
TO do so, but up TO this time he has
stoutly maintained that IL would not be
dignified.
one of the first callers on the gov

lowing a pleasant conversation with
him, the governor cordially received Mr.
Depew, Senator Ellsworth and several
others Of the Plat forces Later Mr.
Platt, Mr.. Payne and Governor Black

the finishing touches upon the plat
form and that document is ready to be
reported to the convention tomorrow

platforms ever adopted by a republican
state convention, comprising not more
than 1000 words. The document will not
be made public until II is reported to the

able to give a synopsis of it's principal
planks.
The platform will indorse the admin

review the proceedings Of the last two
sessions Of the republican legislature
Beyond that the platform will not deal
with state issues, but VIII only touch
on questions of "A national scope, in
cluding an unqualified and vigorous in

THEY WANT BRADFORD.
The Peace Commissioners Are Ready to
Begin Business.

Washington, Sept. 26-The first word
that has come to Washington from the
American members of the peace COM
mission since their departure was re-
ceived at the navy department to-day,
being cablegram requesting that Cap
tain Bradford, chief of the equipment
bureau, be sent to Paris at once to as
sist the commission. As the officer is
the leading expert of the navy depart
ment regarding colling stations. ocean
routes and strategic points. the infer
ence is that the commission expects to
begin promptly the consideration of
those subjects, so far as they relate TO
the Philippines and the Ladrones. Re-
specting the latter group, in which the
United States commissioners are TO
make a selection for a coaiing station,
1t has been found that the only good
harbor is on the island of Guam. the
capital of the group, which was cap-
tured by one of the warships bound for
Manila, yet If that is taken there will
be so little of the group thus left with
out an ocean harbor that IL is believed
that it would be best for both parties,
the United States and Spain. to allow
all of the islands to go with Guam into
the United States possession
Captain Bradford has taken passage
on the Lucania, sailing from New York
next Saturday.

Butte, Sept. 26.-The members Of the
executive committee of the democratic
state central committee held a session

included the preparation of their answer
to the letter which was addressed to A.
j. Campbell, democratic candidate for

the silver republican candidate. In his
letter Mr.. Hartman. professedly in the
best interests of silver. proposed that,
under certain conditions, he and Camp
bell submit their rival candidates. to
Jones, Towne and Butler, the national
chairmen. Mr. Campbell passed the let
ter over to the members of the demo-
cratic executive committee. Their an
swer. addressed to Mr.. Hartman, is as
follows:
Butte. Mont, Sept. &c, 1898. The
Honorable Charles S. Hartman, Boze-
man, Mont. Sir: Your open letter to
Mr.. A. j. Campbell, suggesting a refer
ence of candidates. to Chairmen Jones,
Butler and Towne, has been referred
by him to us. Last week when the
three state conventions were in session
at Anaconda, the democrats, In full
compliance with the suggestion of the
national chairmen, proposed to the sill
NNl a pan IOI luSlOn. MS
plan very properly took account, not of
the office of congressman alone, but of
the questions and candidates. involved
in the pending election. The silver re-
publicans rejected this proposed fusion.
Directly after, without protest or reser-
walton on your part, you accepted the
nomination of these silver republicans.
That arrangement appeared to be en-
tirely satisfactory to the convention
that nominated you, and to yourself
"On the other hand, we are assured
that among Montana democrats. the
feeling of satisfaction over the selection
of Mr.. Campbell, as silvers standard
bearer, is universal. Our judgment is
that il would be trifiing to open up a
question, which, after deliberation,
three state conventions disposed Of,
and we decline to entertain the propo-
sitions offered in your open letter to Mr..
Campbell. Very respectfully yours,
Democratic Executive Committee,
JOHN r. TOOLE, Chairman"
