bushel, on the other. h audience
laughed heartily at this bit of satire.
The speaker affirmed that the silver re-
p~ublicans, as intelligent, rejecting men,
had taken note of the wonderful econ
omic changes that had taken place dur
ing the past three and one-half years.
The whole situation had undergone a
complete transformation as relates to
silver. He spoke of the enormous in
crease in the production of gold in the
world and predicted that under the new
administration in South Africa the whole
of that great gold reef would soon be ex-
plotted; saying that in the judgment of
experts best qualified to know, to three
or four years from now the Rand would
be producing anywhere from $50 to 400
millions dollar worth Of gold per annum.
ut is this enormous increase in the
production of gold which has resulted in
the subordination of the silver question
as the paramount ISSUE" he stated, "and
every intelligent and rejecting citizen
must understand the change, which has
been wrought. In my opinion it is this
enormous increase in the production of
gold and the consequent increase of it's
use as a circulating medium which has
brought about much of the prosperity we
now enjoy and has resulted in the en-
HANGED prices of all property and all pro-
ducts. To this extent the bimetallic
principle has been vindicated; but While
such is true, existing conditions furnish
the most powerful argument against the
reservation of silver at this time"
In conclusion 1t was prophesied that
the silver question would never again
! divide the political parties of his ma
! tion.
Senator Mantle was Justify cheered at
the conclusion of his able address,, and
then three cheers were given with a will
for the party and its candidates. Be-
You'd peradventure of a doubt the two
addresses will have a most beneficial er-
feet upon the ballots cast in November
by the electors of Dillon.
Hon. S. G. Murray, who was also to
speak, was unable to be present on &C.
count of a severe illness.
In imitation of the beatiic state of
affairs existing during the reign of
Grover Cleveland, the stuffed prophet
of the democracy, the Dillon bourbons

region is being tenderly cared for, in re-
turn for which he Is expected to assist

noticeable fact is that not a single repu-

Special to Inter Mountain.

Special to Inter Mountain.
Billings, Oct. 29.-it is q pretty sure
thing that many voters for the cause of
prosperity were gained here last Sat-
urday evening as the result of the adj
dresses delivered by Hon. J. F. Forbis
and Hon. w. b. Rodgers. The meeting
was marked by enthusiasm of the kind
indicative that the audience was thor
oughly in sympathy with everything that
was said.
Mr.. Forbis descanted at length on local
issues and called upon his hearers to
send to political perdition the men who
are responsible for the low moral plane
to which the state of Montana has been
consigned by the other states of the ma
ton as the result of the recent senatorial
scandal. He said things might be worse
than they are now. but he didn't see
how in the name Of all that's good and
holy they could be.
Mr.. Rodgers paid more attention to ma
tiona questions, demolishing the mud
houses of imperialism, m%ilitarism and
trusts set up by the democracy as cara
paign bugaboos.
Both speakers were Frequently inter-
rnpted by applause, and at the conclu-
sion of the melting thee, cheers were
given for Mckinley ana Roosevelt and
the principles OF the &C. >. T."

John Dummy Struck by a Piece OF
Tagging While at Work.

John Dummy, a foreman in the Rose
mine, was seriously, if not fatally injur-
ed today by a falling timber. He was
removed to Murray & Freund's hospital
where he was attended by physicians.
Drummy sustained a fracture of the
left ankle, a fracture of the left thigh Inc
a compound comminuted fracture of the
upper arm. AS nearly as could be ascer-
tanned the man was injured by the falling
of a piece of tagging which he had been
to support him in the shaft. The Rose
mine is owned by James A. Graham.
Drummy, who is a bachelor about 40
years of age, has lived in Butte many
years. He was for several years a rail
road engineer. He is we'll known among
railroad men. His home is at the Airing
ton hotel in South Butte.

A. L. Stones Confession.

Just before the Inter Mountain went to
press today A.. L.. Stone, under arrest for
illegal registration made a long state
ment which leaves no doubt that the
fusion bosses have been engaged in q
scheme to pad the registry
lists and that fraud of IN appalling
magnitude is contemplated. Stone says
he came here as a prize fighter and later
joined the drum corps. He alleges that a
man named Neagle went to him several
days 6 and asked him if he was regis
tered. His statement continues:
Il says, No H says, you can regis
ter as often as you want to- Il cannot
tell who that man was. l have not met
him from that day to this. 1 would know
him if I saw him. He was a tall man,
l should judge about five feet, ten inches;
smooth faced; dressed pretty nice, and
Wore a SLOUGH hat-that is, a Fedora hat,
cut in the middle. This man told me that
he knew I wouldn't be in the drum corps
If l was not all right. He told me to reg
lister as often as I liked; that there was
money in it. I went to Maggie and told
him about hat the fellow told me about
registering and Maggie says, That's all
right; you can register He says, If
you get that many votes, I can take YOU
where you can get money for doing it,
I found out afterwards he meant to take
me to fusion headquarters, and was aG-
vlsed by others, these parties telling me
there would be two or three hundred

LIVINGSTON.

Livingston, Oct. 27.-A large crowd
greeted the Hon. David E. Folsom, re-
publican candidate for governor, and the
Hon. 4. J. Porter and w. G. Blair, at
the Hefferlin opera house tonight. Mr..
Folsom was the first speaker Of the eve
ming. He spoke for ten minutes only.
He aid if elected he would be the gov
ernor of the whole people and not for
any clique or faction of the people.
Hon. A. N. Yoder, candidate for secra-
tary OF state, was present ON the platform
and spoke for fifteen minutes, reviewing
the past record of the republican party.
Mr.. Yoder's remarks called forth hearty
applause.
Mr.. w. G. Bair, of Teton county, was
next introduced and spoke on the past
record of the democratic party. He de-
fled any democrat present to show him
when the democratic party had ever been
right on any of the great issues that had
come before the people. Mr.. Bair is
what you might call a hot number AS a
speaker he was easily the star of the
evening.
Mr.. Z. ]. Porter, candidate for attorney
general, was the last speaker of the eve
ming. He won the hearty applause of the
audience by his manly and straightfor-
ward way of talking. He handled the
Doodle question of the democratic party
in Montana in a very humorous way. He
was heartily applauded all through his
speech. The meeting as a whole was
very successful. The audience went home
We'll pleased with the evenings speakers.

TOTAL REGISTRATION.
About 10, 500 Names Are Enrolled on
the Books.

Registration closed last Saturday night
and the books show that ABOUT IS, 500 vo-
tiers are registered in Silver Bow county.
The exact number cannot be learned until
four of the outside districts make their
returns. For the purpose of arriving at a
total small estimates of the registration
have been la for the missing districts.
Within the eight wards of the city the
registration figures up 12.549. while the
vote for aldermen last spring was GLIB,
leaving a difference. of 6.376. There was
of course. not the game interest in the
city election last spring as there is in the
present election. but the difference is SO
great that many are led to belives that
IN enormous number of people have been
guilty of false registration. According
to the last census which gave the city a
population of 80, 40, forty percent are
qualified voters of the city. 1t is clear
that the census was very far off or else
the registration Is for there is no city in
the United States that can show such a
proportion or anywhere near it. Outside
of the city the registration has been nor
NAL although the chances are tina tine
lists in some of the districts contain
names that have no business to be there.
