torium this morning in convention d.
pared to obey the orders of the man VIII
is making strenuous efforts to control the
courts aud the legislature ot Montana.
]. NJ. Denny. one Of IIein1e's attorneys,
was suggested rs temporary chairman and
before Chairman lcwey could pat the
suggestion in the shape Of a motion, Mr.,
Denny had taken his place on the platform
and commenced a speech that dealt largely
with the abuse OF the newspaper, aad an
attack on vested rights.
From the very first 1t vas apparent
that the whole meeting had ,c"n carefully
planned AZ the close Of MIR. Dcnny's
harangnc lay delegate, evidently not ~
the push undertook to make a proper
motion. bui he was shut off by s. 6, Her
ron aud j. IT, Trerse, both % whom dp-
pcarcd anxious TO shine rs politicians.
Their action had the appearance oi being
ordered and they acted like men a9der

mediaicy buy a life tuition for these two
retaincrs.
They Bear the Name OF Democrats.
II iranspircd Al the convention that the
llcinzc delegates to the Bo1cman conNen.
ton propose to hold convention OF their
own and claim the name Of the democratic
party. This will prove another oppor-
tunity for Mr.. Heinzc's attorneys II earn
their salaries. 1t is understood thar in
junction proceedings will be brought aud
the county clerk will be cnjoinei from
filing the nominations made at the demo-
cratic convention yesterday.
An attempt will be made to patch ~ a
fusion h the populiss, the so-called
democrats, the labor and the antitrust

| undertaking.
There was nothing new in the platform.
| AS one Of the delegates put it. =. was
an Amalgamated affair" 1t contained a
| little Of everything from all other party
platforms. 1t declared in favor OF the
financial welfare of i. August Ileinze IN
covert language, and denounced all other
capitalists. II says we, the party, is in
favor of the initiative and referendum AMI

was a declaration in favor Of home for
INDECENT smetermcn to be provided by thc
| state.
Tewey Set the Ball Rolling.
Dan Tewey called the convention to or
der at rs and Hugh |. Wilson acting
as secretary, read the call. S. X. Heron
moved that J. M. Denny, one OF Mr..
Heinzc's attorneys, be made temporary
chairman, and before Chairman Tewey
who expected the doubtful honor himself
could put the question Mr.. Denny had
taken the platform and was bowling his
thanks. "The ayes have it," said Mr.
Tewey, and Mr. Denny began his carefully
prepared speech.
The talk consumed more than one hour
OF more or less valuable time, and when il
was done j. II. Trerise nominated Ben
Sampson for secretary. Mr.. 1rerise
named John McCauley and made several
other motions, in fact he exercised a
fatherly care over the well-beng OF the
convention and demonstrated his ignor-
ancc Of The usual methods Of conducting
public meetings.
Both secretaries were declared elected
and took their places on the platform and
