Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-10-31


Thomas Jefferson without the consent
have known how to apply the declara-
ton of independence because he wrote
it. We cannot afford to let Mr.. Bryan's
principles and the present Organized
democracy to continue a formidable
danger to Americapism.
l appeal to you not merely to beat it,
but to stamp it under foot SO that no
similar appeal will ever be made in our
time. While we can afford to defer on
questions of policy we cannot afford as
good Americans to defer on the question
under principle, the lack of which, makes
any party, whichever 1t is, a standing
danger to the country
At Holly it was raining. Nevertheless
the governor spoke to a great crowd. He
said:
I'VE do not want to cut into the ma
tional honor by cutting in two the na-
tional debt. If Mr.. Bryans policies ever
should be enacted into law, they would
bear with an especial weight of woe
upon the very people concerning whom
he affects to be most interested.
''Mr. Bryan speaks Of polygamy in the
Sulu islands and says it ought to be
stopped. Why, his proposal is to estab-
lish protectorate over those islands,
and therefore guarantee both slavery
and polgamy in Sulu."
The crowds We're large and enthusi-
astic all along the line, though at some
of the places rain fell heavily.

COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION IS A DEADLY 0NE-D0 NOT KNOW

New York, Oct. SIC. B. Hart, Unit
ed States minister to Colombia, South
America, who has arrived here and is
on his way to his home in Wheeling, w.
Va, said in an interview:
MATTERS in Colombia are sadly mixed.
The liberals started second revolution
a few days ago and it has developed
great strength. The fighting has been
fierce and UP to date the killed and
wounded have numbered 10000. While
the liberals have met with much sus-
cess, it is my belief that the govern
ment will eventually be successful. But
the revolution Is seriously disturbing
business. Gen. Prospero Pinzon IS in
command of the government forces and
the revotutionists are commanded by
Gen. Rafael Uribe. The cause Of the
trouble is indefinite. In the recent elec-

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 3O.-Ex-President
Cleveland, being shown a publication in

said:
1.-The whole thing from beginning to
end is an absolute lie; without the least
foundation or show of truth. I never

that affects the least pretext for such
mendacious statement. I have already
telegraphed the Philadelphia Times to
this effect
The utterances ascribed to ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland in the publication re-
ferred to, embodied an expression that
there would be a landslide for Mr.
Bryan the morning after election
Mr.. Cleveland was quoted as naming
certain elements working in favor of the
democratic candidate and discussing
Mr. Bryan as an orator and as an eff
cient campaigner.

following the most positive assurances
that he would be on the ticket Nov. 6;
supplemented by his resignation of the
vice presidency and his absolute refusal
to face them with a statement, con-
Vinced them against their wishes that
guilt only could convert such a valiant
fighter into such a coward. Self-con-
victed, he stands a pitiable object Of
deserved censure, his business practi-
cally boycotted and his standing as a
labor leader wholly ruined. A few
paltry dollars may have been sufficient
to compensate him for all he has lost,
but there are thousands who prefer
good will and esteem and confidence OF
neighbors to all he may have received,
be it much or little.
Ferguson is quoted as saying at the
time of reading his resignation, that his
withdrawal at Helena was against his
better judgment, but he had been forced
into it by the state committee and
threats that Mr.. Clark would require his
Butte employees to work ten hours day
if he remained in the field. In order
to protect those two thousand men he
withdrew. The explanation was re-
ceived with derision. When he left the
hall you could play cards on his coat

scribed it,
1t is authoritatively stated Ferguson's
resignation from the union was coun-
ter move on his part OF avoid being
ouSted. Expulsion was on the pro-
gramme, but the sly Ferguson got wind
of the move and forestalled it. A new
union has been formed here with a
membership of forty five for the purpose
of breaking away from old influences
and leaderships and act independently

democrats or republicans win, there will
be no change in the condition of the la
borer. In few years longer, the middle
class, what is left of it, will be in the
working class. The era of small produc-
ton has gone. If you have few dollars
left the best thing you can do is to in
vest it in social propaganda
In the concluding part of his speech
Mr. Debs said: II would scorn to hold

Upton Could Get 500 a Barrel on

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The elimination of
the October pork corner controlled by Sir
Thomas Upton, came today when pork
for delivery this month advanced IS, ris-
ing on less than dozen trades from $17,
yesterdays closing price, to $50 at the
close today. The buying was by shorts
who had held off until the last moment.
It was said that Sir Thomas could have
made the price 500 as well as $40 but he
declared he had no intention Of "squeez-
ing anybody. That the October deal
die not furnish create rexcitement today
was due, it is said, to the fact that many
shorts threatened with being swept off

INCREASES IN CONGRESS
NEW CONGRESS WILL HAVE TEN MORE MEMBERS -REAPPOR-
TI0NMENT ON BASIS OF CENSUS RETURNS.

New York, Oct. 31.-The announcement
OF the population of the United States,
says a Washington special to the Times,
has started speculation about the effect
on the apportionment for members of
congress. The increases or decreases in
state representation depend on the feel
ing Of a congress which is yet to be
elected. 1t is quite certain, however,
that several states will lose. One of them
is Nebraska, which has gained only 30,-
900. Nevada shows falling off in pop
ulation, but Nevada Is safe, for she has
only one congressman now, and cannot
have less. The greatest gamer under the
conservative estimate of an increase OF
100000 to each representative will be
Pennsylvania, which will gain three con-
gressmen, bringing her number up to 81.

Judson A. Ferguson, late labor nominee
for governor, been retained in the meet
ing long enough OF roast him as they
wished to do.
Mr.. Ferguson has added another Eek"
to his many titles and the last one is of
little less honor than previous one For
Mr.. Ferguson was vice-president of
Union No. 43. Last night there was a
meeting, which he attended. The regu-
lar order of business passed off smoothly,
unit the order of new business was called.
Mr.. Ferguson had become something of
an expert in springing new things on the
boys and did not want to lose his record,
so rendered his resignation as vice-presi-
dent, which he read Immediately after
the reading, he disappeared like a
shadow from the meeting. This was not
what the members wanted. They desired
to treat him fair; give him an impartial
hearing, and decide the case according to
the evidence. Before any action was
taken a committee of three was sent out
to bring him in for an eXplanat ton, but
returned after an unsuccessful mission.
with the report that he would not come.
They wanted to see Ferguson again and
to ear the full and true story of the Hell
ena transaction, where he so glibly and
basely betrayed the trust they had so
willingly imposed on him. Some were
unwilling to believe that the man who
had SO ably and so often stood for them
in high places should be guilty of basely
betraying them, and they wanted to hear
denial from his own lips, but he would
not return.
There was but one thing to do, and out
of the nearly 200 present, but three
votes We're cast against the acceptance
Of the resignation; and J. A. Ferguson,
than whom no man has stood higher
among labor unions, been closer to the
hearts of laboring men or held higher
offices in the state and northwest, is but
a humble member in the ranks and de-
spised by the majority Of his fellow
workmen.
1t may be true, as some have asserted,
that Ferguson did not receive any of the
Doodle paid at Helena for the destruc-
ton of the labor ticket, and slow in

lieve it, but his action in Helena, closely

Chicago Oct Ex-senator Hanna was

Americans of British birth. When the
toastmaster mentioned Senator Hannas 8

arose On masse and sang Hes a jolly

three cheers and a tiger. Senator Hanna
made a brief address during which he
said that he was confident that the work
of the association would extend beyond
