a law that will hold all employers liable

acts of fellow employees acting under Or
ders of a superior.

laws, and to the election of two anti
Amalgamated United States senators, re-
CARELESS of past party affiliations. we,
without reservation or evasion, pledge
our members of the legislature.
'In regard to national affairs, while
locally extending our heartfelt sympathy
to the struggling republics of South AZ
RIGA in, their unequal contest for liberty,
to the struggling miners of Pennnsyl-
vania, and declare that the people o"
Silver Bow county as represented by this
convention, denounce the methods en-
ployed by Governor Steunenberg and
President William Mckinley in dealing
with the labor difficulties Of the Occur
d'Alenes, and charge that the u%surpation
of civil functions by deSpotic military
authority was, and is, an outrage upon
the privileges of American citizensh
and the enforcement of the permit sys-
tenn now existing in said locality, a forr-
of espionage that would not be tolerated
in Russia or China.
w pledge the support Of our NOM
inee for congress-, and the United States
senators hereafter to be elected to the
correction of the abuses we have men,
toned and the reforms demanded in our
natiOna platform.
In support of the principles herein
expressed, we solicit the support of the.
intelligent and honest voters of Silver
Bow county, regardless of party.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER BREEN."
1T CARRIED.
The adoption of the report was put to,
a rising vote and carried unanimously.
Next came the report of the commit
tee or order of business, and it would
not be an exaggeration to say that one Of
it's clauses furnished Peter Breen n
Jack" Byrne a chance to do some Of
the greatest grand standing ever seen
in "a political hall. To have witnessed 1t
the uninitiated would rave been horri-
fled, looking every moment to see the
red blood of fusion scattered all over the
floor. The scene was so pretty hat
Jack and Tom must have required
at least 80 minutes time in which to fix
IT up.
One clause provided that in voting on
candidates each precinct should vote by
itself and the result be announced by
the chairman.
Kinds vigorously objected. declaring
that this thing had been tried. in the
past by the democrats and found a COR
rupt method.
do you want TO go back to demo-
cratic methods, to the methods Of the
party we broke away from?"
Byrne vigorously defended the recon-.
mendation Of the committee. and the
debate seemingly grew SO heated that he
finally demanded that the chair appoint
Kinds a committee of himself and let
him draw up a report Of his own. If he
had meant business he might have asked
Kinds why he objected so vigorously to
returning to democratic methods and yet
was willing to return far enough to sit
in the democratic lap and eat fusion pie
from the democratic hand. However,
this would lave knocked" the histl.ionio
work all to smash and might have pre-
vented the elimination of the clause
aforesaid.
1t was decided to cut out the clause.
Byrne and Kinds quit their peaceful
Kicking at each other, and nominations
We're declared in order.

lowing offices by reclamation, a standing
vote being taken in each case:
For Judge of the District Court-Wfl.
liam Clancy Gncumbent).
