Mr.. LlNDsAY's BOOM HOLDING
ITS OWN.

Helena Independent: About 10 days
ago the Independent asked what had
become of the Honorable William
Lindsay's boom for governor, it's in
CURRY being prompted by noticing an
absence Of comment upon it in the
columns of it's republican contempt
raries.
This week this newspapers query
appears to be answered, for it is no.
ticed that The Billings Gazette, Red
Lodge Picket, Western News of Lib
by, in their last issues, all have able
editorials booming the chairman of the
republican state committee for the
| gubernatorial nomination of his party.
1t appears that the republican week
ly press, whatever may be said ofSthe
daily organs of that political organiza-
tion, take Mr.. Lindsay's nomination as
a foregone conclusion.
So far the influential republican
evening organs have not come out for
the Glendive gentleman, and his can
didacy in consequence seems to be a
question, to a great extent, of whether
the weekly republican press is more
powerful than the daily papers of that
party.
Doubtless the dailies will swing
into line in the lear future, for there
is apparently nothing else left for
them to do.
Taking the weekly press for it, Mr..
Lindsay has the nomination in his
pocket, and it is not believed that the
daily republican papers could take it
out of that receptacle, eve though
they might desire to do so.
Report has it that during the last
few days former Senator Carter has
concluded that ex-senator Mantle is
not strong enough to wrest the nomi-
nation away from the chairman of the
republican state committee, so the
Helena gentleman has taken a seat
in the Lindsay bandwagon.
Under these conditions the absence
of any mention of Mr.. Lindsay's name
in the press during the latter part Of
last month was not occasioned by amy
GOODNESS in the ranks of his party, but
owing to the certainty felt by his news
paper supporters that The had the nomi-
nation ~"cinched."
Mr.. Lindsay's friends Shout remem.
Der, however, that a nomination is
not won until it is made, and from
this out, until the Billings convention
assemblies, they should keep their
leaders, name we'll to the front, and
not allow it to be thought that there
is any lack of interest as far as the
gentleman's candidacy is concerned.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET.
Friday, August ~, 1904.
LET THE CONVENTION DECIDE.

LET THE CONVENTION DECIDE.
According to a report which comes
from Helena there has been a
conference held for several days
ito decide upon, the question as to
whether former Senator Mantle or
Chairman Lindsay of the state central
COMMITTEES shall be nominated for
governor at the Billings convention.
This conference has been attended
by former Senator Carter, Congress
mani Dixon, Mr.. Lindsay and several
lesser lights of the party.
Mr.. Carter is said to favor the Butte
gentleman for governor and the con-
gresham contends for the nomina-
tion of the eastern Montana gentle
man. The statement lis also given out
that Mr.. Mantle will not enter the
gubernatorial ace if there is to be
any opposition to his candidacy.
The Gazette speaks by the card
when it says that when Mr.. Lindsay
entered his name for the republican
nomination for governor he did so af-
ter mature deliberation and with the
understanding that Mr.. Mantle was in
no sense be a candidate for the honor.
Having entered his name in the race,
and after receiving the endorsement
OF many leading republicans through
out the state, as we'll as a majority
OF his party newspapers, Mr.. Lindsay
cannot h%onorably withdraw from the
contest before the republicans meet in
convention. Withdrawal would mean
TO some extent ~disloyalty to his
friends, and Mr.. Lindsay is not that
stripe of a man.
The Gazette is in favor of letting
the convention decide as to who is
the most acceptable man to head the
republican state ticket this year. That
which applies ITO the head of the ticket
should also apply to every other man
nominated. An expression from all
the leading representatives of the
party from the several counties Of
the state is the better way to decide
important questions of this character,
and we venture the prediction that
the convention will make no mistake
in any of the nominations to be made.
The republicans of Montana want
to see the strongest men nominated
from the ranks this year for the state
Offices. Should the convention select
either MI. Lindsay or Mr.. Mantle for
the Office of governor there is no ques-
tion but what the choice of the onv
tlon will receive the full party support
during the campaign in all sections of
the state.

Negro Not an Issue.

1t is the purpose of the republican
national committee to make no replies
to the southerners who are raising the
race issue this year. The negro isn't
an issue, and the republican party
isn't trying to make him one. If the
southern democrats can derive any
satisfaction from imagining there is
a race issue, the republicans will not
disturb them. 1 am reliably informed
that the so-called negro plank in the
Chicago platform has as much refer
ence to conditions that prevail in Cali
fornia and Massachusetts, and in one
or two other northern states, as to
the colored situation in the south.
If it is a crime fer the republican par
ty to ask if the federal constitution is
being violated with IMMUNITY, then the
party must be a criminal.

MUST KEEF ITS PROMISES
TURKEY RECEIVES ANOTHER
NOTE FROM LEISHMAN.
Pledge Made by the Sultan of Equal
Treatment Must Be
Made Good.

Constantinople, Aug. IA note from
American Minister Leishman, dated Au-
gust 16, was handed to the Turkish au-
thorities within IL hours after the re-
ceipt by the minister of the Turkish note
of Monday. In this note Mr.. Leishman
holds the government to it's solemn I'M
dertaking, coming direct from the sui
tan, respecting equal treatment with
other nations for the United States con-
corning the question of educational in
situations. This allusion to the i'm
perial pledge apparently embarrassed
the porte, which had previously an
nounced that it would ignore the formal
verbal assurances which Minister Leish-
man declared he had received 1t con-
sidered improbable that the porte will
reply to the minister's note, and, there
fore, the question is looked upon as
shelved pending the execution of the
process of recognition, when, it is con-
sidered not improbable, fresh difficult
ties will arise. Notwithstanding the
assertion by Isset Pasha, the secretary
of the palace, that $4,000 had been de-
posted as compensation due to an
American citizen at Smyrna, for land
illegally taken, no such deposit has yet
been made.

with difficulty quelled the disturbance.

The City Suffers Greatly from the
Storm.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 22.-The
worst wind and rain storm in the his
tory of this place broke here Saturday
night about $3.50, when three storms,
from north, west and east, gathered and
broke over the city. Hundreds of build
ings were badly damaged, all the great
wire systems were paralyzed and thou
sands of beautiful shade trees uprooted.
For three minutes the wind blew st the
rate of 80 miles an hour and the rain fell
in torrents. So far as know two people

Several persons were injured but none
seriously.
Stores Lose Heavily.
The center of the storm seemed to hit
the business district at the corner of
Nicollet avenue and Sixth street. Here
the immense front of the Glass block
was blown out and huge skylight
blown off, the rain doing damage to
stock that cannot be estimated. All of
the stores in this district had windows
bolwn in and all suffered more or less
damage to stock. The mammoth sky
light of the Guaranty Loan building fell
IL stories through the interior court and
great damage was done by water to the
offices.
The street car service was tied up un-
til noon Sunday, trolley wires being
down in all parts of the city, as the
result of falling trees. Many of the
fine residence districts of the city suf-
fered terribly, but the greatest and
irreparable damage was done to Mime
apolis' beautiful shade trees. Thou
sands of them were broken off or twist
ed up by the ROOFS, and several streets,
celebrated for their beautiful trees, are
left bare of foliage and shade The

MORE MINERS ARE
DEPORTED BY MOB
FRESH OUTBREAK OCCURS AT
CRIPPLE CREEK.
LIST OF THE BANISHED MEN
The Action Is Justified by Those
Participating on the Ground
That It Is Demded by
Public Policy.

Cripple Creek, Col, Aug. 22.-Bloody
.,oting is in prospect here, as the result
of the deportation of men not in SYM
pathy with the citizens movement A
mob is in control of the town and the
seizures OF men have been followed by
property depredations Though the
town already is reused to high pitch
of excitement, armed men on horseback
are making roundup to gather more
men to drive from the district.
The outbreak, which was entirely I'M
expected was justified by the depOrters
by the statement that a conspiracy to
commit violence had been discovered,
and the move was necessary in order
to prevent bloodshed. Nearly all the
men against whom the present cam
paign is directed are prominent. Among
those already sent out are the follow
ing:
Former Attorney General Eugene N.
Engley, now attorney for the miners.
Frank ]. Hangs, attorney for the
Western Federation of Miners.
J. w. Higgins, former president of
the Cripple Creek Carpenters union
and republican candidate for alderman
at the last city election.
H M. NJ Heimerdinger, one of the
principal owners of the Interstate Mer-
camille company, of Butte, Mont.
J. w. Hall, heavy stakeholder in
the Interstate Mercantile company, of
Butte
j. c. Cole, former district attorney
for Teller county.
M. J. O'Neill, deputy county clerk.
T. H. Parfet, former manager of the
union store in this city.
Albert Pierce, for ten years a promi-
nent resident of this city.
Frank Altman, employed by the In
terstate Mercantile company.
These men were corralled at various
points, beginning at five o'clock Satur-
day, and at $50, when all had been
herded together, they were started over
the hills west of town and marched to-
guard. The crowd then marched
through the streets, gathering known
union men and sympathizers, who were
marched away. There was little dis
order on the part of the deporters. APP
parently arrangements for the action
of the crowd had been planned careful
ly, and everything was carried out
without excitement. The movement
seems to be on the part of the miners
and practically Independent OF the Citi-
zens' alliance.
