Bozeman, Sept. II.

Bohemian, Sept. II.
The chief point of interest in the city
today, was the Northern Pacific depot.
soon after 1 O'Clock people began wend-
ing their way toward that part of the
CITY, although the train was not schedul-
ed to arrive before 2:10. Shortly before 2
o'clock the Mckinley & Roosevelt club,
headed by the Montana State band,
marched from their headquarters to the
depot, about seventy members Of the club
being in line. When the train steamed
into the depot grounds an immense crowd
had and greeted the incoming
train with cheers that were long and loud.
To the east of the depot a temporary plat
form had been erected, which was to be
occupied by the speakers. AS soon as the
train came to a stand still the vice-prfes1-
Dental candidate. escorted by Senator
Carter and others of the committee OF re-
ception that had met him at Billings, took
his place On the improvised platform.
Senator Carter in a few well chosen
words introduced Governor Roosevelt,
who h addressed the crowd for about
fifteen minutes. his speech being often l.
terrupted by applause. The usual smart
"a,ec' was in evidence and made a break.
that was called down so quick, that the
fellow who made it, has not yet found out
where he was at when he quit.
After Col. Roosevelt, Col. Curtis F.
Guild OF Boston, made a brief address,
and the speech making came to a close
by Senator Carter proposing three cheers
for Mckinley, Roosevelt n Prosperity.
These cheers were given with a will, and
the train started on it's way to Helena.
The crowd rapidly dispersed and made
the best time possible for shelter. A rain
storm had been brewing for some time
and held off Just long enough to permit
of the carrying out of the programme
arranged. The meeting was one thai the
republicans may feel proud of. Nearly
every one was there. A large number OF
ladies made the trip to the depot to get a
glimpse of the hero of San Juan Hill. II
every town en- route turns out SO great a
| per cent of it's population as did Bozeman
today. it will create the impression of
those who are travelling with the govern
or thai the west has been ~slandered and
misrepresented to them in a most gar
ing manner.
This morning at II o'clock the demo-
cratic county convention was called TO
order in the opera house. Beyond the
naming of the various committees READ
from a carefully prepared typewriter
list, no work was attempted. Mr.. Cooper
wisely concluded that there was no sense
or reason in rushing things, and that II
he got too gay he might fail to get any
one into the hall, so he gave the WORD
| and the convention stood adjourned until
3 O'Clock, giving Gov. Roosevelt a chance
to make good republicans out of some OF
the men who had come to the convention.
When the band and the crowd came back
from the depot the boys stopped In front
of the Opera House and played one or
their loudest pieces, which had the effect
of diverting a few from their trip up Main
street, and they went in to see the snow.
1t began by accepting the committee re-
ports and then the adoption of a plat
form. the chief feature of which vas the
congratulatiQn of those mbe OF the
legislature who had voted for w. A. Clark
he being the favorite here. Then G.. w.
Hoffman was nominated by
for state senator; o Walsh, Jas. e.
Martin and H. H. Sappington for MEM
bers of the legislature. Sappington is the
only new man on the list; the others
have been there, before and they know
just what they are expected to Edo and
stand ready to do it. Then came the
county ticket, L. A. Luce was nominated
for county attorney by a vote of SO to 80
over the present incumbent of that office,
w. r. c.. Stewart, and who was a n
date for reelection.
Then came the treasurer, who was re-
nominated by reclamation, so w. H.
Davis, will go forth among his friends
and enemies to try his luck in the vote
| getting line once more. At the last cleo
ton he a just one vote more n his
republican opponent for the office. Clerk
OF the court WAS d poSitloA SoNCtCu ny
Paul Davies, A. Wessitch and John w.
lines. the latter of Chestnut, but Davies
and lines went down to defeat. James
Fly. gobbled the nomination for sheriff
easily, and was at no time in danger of
losing it, although it did tai three bal
lots to make the thing sure. County
assessor went to Dave Ii of Sales
vile. the "Old Roman" Sam Cowan,
knowing a little better h to let his
name get mixed up in any attempt to get
6, nomination for anything. For super
intendent of schools, Miss NJ. E. Chris
man, the present incumbent of that
office, will make the race again. E. V.
| B"lankenship was also renominated n
the party will do their best to get enough
republican votes to put him back in the
place. The candidates for county COM
missioner are: Ed. Sayer A. Truman
and Will Mcdonald. Coroner r, r.. Fin
ley was renom1nated. The present pub
lie administrator, James P. Martin, was
likewise renominated. The candidates
for justice of the peace and constable of
the respective townships We're left for
the central committee to fill. This lat
ter consists of one emb from each
precinct and they will meet and Organize
at a later date.
A resolution was introduced and car
ried which eulogized Judge Armstrong
and bound the delegates to use all hon
orable means for his nomination at Hell
ena on Wednesday next.
The convention then adjourned sine
die, and very rapidly vacated the opera
house, which in a short time assumed
the gloomy look that matched a like feel
ing carried away by the actors in the
proceedings.
