Greeted by Immense Throngs
in Cincinnati.
A CORDIAL RECEPTION.
Spoke in General Terms ms-Judge Harmon
and Senator Jones Also

Cincinnati, Oct. 31.-William }.
Bryan today made the first speech that
he has made in this city during the
campaign. He arrived on special
train at o'clock tonight. The day
was srent entirely in this state and
it covered the country between
this city and Toledo. Beginning
with an hours speech at Toledo at
10 o'clock this morning he spoke in
succession at Wauwason, Napoleon,
Ottawa, Lima, Waupokeneta, Sid
ney, Piqua, Troy, Dayton, Hamilton
and College Corners. With the ex-
cepton of the Toledo speech none of
them exceeded twenty-five minutes in
length, and six of them were only
of five minutes duration. In the ma
jority of places where stops were
made, no speeches were made. These
were small towns and as rule
crowds were not large. There were,
however, fine audiences at Toledo,
Wauzcon, Piqua, Dayton and Col
,ege Corners.
Mr.. Bryan received a very cordial
reception. He was met at the sta
ton by an immense crowd, and upon
being driven to the muse hall, he
was there welcomed by thousands
outside of the building and by as many
inside of the great building as could
be packed into it. The crowd in
the interior had been awaiting Mr..
Bryan for three hours, and on his ar
rival and owing to the packed con-
dition of the hall there was great i'm
patience until he entered. 1t had not
been intended that the crowd should
be admitted until he came, but they
broke the doors down early and
helped themselves to all available
space.
Mr.. Bryan made his first speech of
the evening to the crowd on the out
side of the music hall. He talked
dress was in the most general terms,
but it was received with loud ap
plause. 1t took fifteen minutes to
get the audience quiet after Mr. Bry
an made his speech. The applause
was generous and prolonged, but af-
terwards degenerated into demands
for Bryan, which did not prevent
Judge Harmon and Jones speaking
They preceded Mr.. Bryan, but they
spoke with but little comfort on ac-
count of the clamOr.

Is Heavy.

New York, Oct. 31.-The number of
people unaccounted for in the explo-

tonight placed at twenty. Eight of

this fact they have violated the law

ROBBED THE POST OFFICE.
Butte Postal Clerk Stole Money from
Letters.

Butte, Oct. 31.-HOrace Barton,
mailing clerk in the Butte postoffice,
was arrested yesterday by federal au-
thorities for robbing the mails. In
relating his troubles this morning
Barton said that his downfall was
caused by whiskey. He was married
two years ago and up to that time
had be n following the theatrical pro
fession. He gave it up at the sug-
gestion of his wife and took civil
service examination for entry into
the postofiice last year ana was en-
ployed on June /, 1899. About three
months ago he had trouble with his
wife and she left him, and he took
to drinking and he says that he has
not been sober since. The trouble
with his wife he says, is that he was
not able to dress her In such style
that she desired. At first he played
roulette and according to his state
ment is between 5000 and $500 ahead
of the game. For the last six weeks
he has done no gambling whatever
and he spent his money in general
dissipation. He says that twice
during the last two months he has
had attacks of delerium tremens and
this morning was the first time he
had been sober during that tine. AS
he could not get liquor last night he

Il never stole anything before in
my life," said Barton. 81 was crazed
with drink and there were days that

They say that the amount is about
so much. | do not think it is $3.50.

He does not look like a man who
would be guilty of petty theft, and has
a number of friends in the city who
are astonished to learn that he has
confessed.

CANNOT VOTE.
Opinion Handed Down BY Attorney
General Loeb.

Helena, Oct. 31.-Persons living
in Yellowstone National Park and reg
istered at Gardner or some other ad-
jacent point in the state of Mon
tana cannot vote unless they have
previously lived in the state and at
present are living in that portion of
the park known as Fort Yellowstone
military reservation. Assistant At
torney General Loeb reached this con-
clusion today in response to an in
quiry from Frank A. Pratt of Gard
ner He wrote that several persons
who had registered at Gardner re-
side within the confines of the park,
boundaries having been extended to
take them in. AS the law made no
provision for voters who lived inside
the national park exercising the right
of suffrage, Mr.. Pratt, who is one of
the election judges at Gardner, want
ed to know if he should permit such
persons to vote. "In my judgment
residence in Yellowstone National
Park for any period of time would
not entitle one to vote in the state
Of Montana" said the assistant at
torney general in his reply. Persons
going to Yellowstone Park and who
have never resided in Montana so as
to ac iuire residence in the state,
would, under no circumstances be
entitled to exercise the right of an
elector in this state. In case, how
ever, of an elector residing upon
Fort Yellowstone Military Reserva-
tion, who is in the employ of the
government of the United States, and
who previously to going to the mill
tary reservation had acquired res.
idence in some county in Montana.
orior to taking up his residence upon
such military reservation, would be
entitled to vote.'

''CH|PPY" HILL
ANSWERED.
Attended Last Nights Meeting
and Clipped In.

He Says-Got the Vindication at Kansas
City-Speaker Stiff's View
OF It.

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather there was good audience
out last night to hear Hon. H. c..
Stiff. of Missoula, discuss the issues
Of the campaign. Mr.. Stiff was in
troduced by Mayor Griffin and after
reviewing the national issues he
paid his respects to the campaign in
the interest of bribery. Mr.. Stiff
is forcible speaker and his arraign-
ment of the Clark outfit was good to
hear and was warmly applauded. A
fellow who is known here as "Chippy
Hill,' and who is said to be over here
from Butte in the interests of bribery,
had the nerve to interrupt Mr..
Stiff with the assertion that Clark
was in no need of vindication, that he
had been vindicated at Kansas City.
Before Mr.. Stiff got through with
"Chippy" that individual looked as
though he was sorry he had spoken,
and the audience seemed to be per-
fectly satisfied that Clark's Kansas
City "vindication" was on par with
his Helena election to the senate.
"Chippy" is known as Charles j. Hill,
in Butte.
Mr.. Stiff spoke for an hour and a
half and his address was one of the
best heard here this campaign. He

sion-The Briber's Desperate
Tactics.

Glendive, Oct. 31.-Clark workers
are making most desperate efforts
to carry their ticket through in Daw-
son county. The plan of these des-
mined boodlers is to elect Cullen, a
Clark man, over Lindsay, who once
spurned Clark, and therefore Clark
hates him like poison. One honest
mau in the Clark's colonization
scheme has become disgusted at the
methods of the Clark gang and uas
made affidavit giving the whole snap

For making this affidavit he Is
now threatened with death by the

The name of me man who has
given the snap away is John F. Per
rault. He said he, with several
others, was engaged at $3.50 per day
to go from Anaconda to Glendive,
register and vote there, and was then
to have transportation and expenses
back to Butte. The arrangement was
made with Bickford in Butte. The
party were taken in charge of by

Butte, Oct. 31.-W. Nj. Nagle, who

abetting and advising illegal regis
tration in the county of Silver Bow,
now stands convicted of the offense.
This morning Justice Nichols passed
sentence upon Neagle, fining him $3.50
and accompanying it with an order
that he remain in the custody of the
sheriff until the amount is paid. At
torney Merritt, one of the legal rep
resentatives of defendant, appeared
in court with Neagle. Justice first
said he would find the defendant gull

unless defendant uesired to waive

All Sorts Of Fool Wagers, But
There's a Limit.
TOOLEHASNOBACKERS
The Clark Ticket Will Come in For a
Chance on the Consolation
Purse.

AS the campaign draws to a close
the number of fool bets on election
are expected to increase, says the
Standard. Butte seems to be a poor
place for such senseless perform
ances, but in the outside counties it
appears that the political greene
sprouts and springs up like mush-
room. All the reckless election bets
that have been made this year by
men who have confidence in the
election of the w. A. Clark ticket
have been arranged in places remote
from Butte by men who little know
how the big democratic vote of this
county will fall on the briber like a
thousand of brick on election day.
There is story that comes from
Glendive that a man in that town
agreed to wear, his wife's hat for
three days if Mckinley does not
carry Nebraska, and it is said that
a resident of Bozeman has taken a
risk more hazardous than this. He
will wheel democrat through the
streets of the town in a wheelbar-
row every evening for week if the
state of Montana is not carried by
Mckinley the coming election. There
seems to be an epidemic of betting
all over the state, but no one has
ToOle or risk d cent on
the chances of any of the
candidates for congress defeating c.
F. Kelley of Silver bow. There are
some things too certain to be the
subject of wager, and one of the
sure things in this campaign seems
to be the defeat of the men who are
decoyed into the fusion platform and
then set adrift to be swallowed in
the political whirlpool.
A resident of Butte who has a
wide experience in the sporting side
of life, expressed his views on the
fusion candidates chances the other
day and he seems to have the matter
sized up as correctly as anyone.
Here is what he said:
II used to follow the races, and the
fusion ticket reminds me of GUS
tom that is followed on all the tracks
in the country where they have big
meetings and number of horses
racing for several days. On the last
day of the races they have what is
called consolation purse, hung up
for horses that have not won any
thing during the meeting, and all
the old skates that have come in be-
hind race after race get out and take
a chance at the consolation purse.
They are generally a hard looking
lot, and most of them can't run fast
enough to keep warm.
well, this fusion ticket reminds
me of this kind of a race Here we
have lot of fellows running for
Office who never won an Office in all
the campaigns they were ever in.
It's a fact. They're all has beens'
and also rams and they have nc
show of winning. They might as
we'll keep their blankets on and go
back to the barn.
