THF CAMPAIGN OPENED.
The announcement that General Geo.
11. Sheridan would address the citizens
of Livingston upon the issues between
the republican and democratic parties
brought out a large crowd Wednesday
evening to hear that gifted orator and
champion of republican principles. All
the available seating room of the opera
house was occupied and even standing
room was at a premium. The meeting
was called to order by Chairman Deutsch
of the county central committee. Hon.
A. R. Joy in introducing the speaker i
briefly addressed the audience, calling
attentiou to the noticeable spirit of dis- '
loyalty manifested at the south by the
public display of rebel Hugs, of which he !
was an eye-witness during a trip to
Richmond in June last, on the occasion
of the dedicatory ceremonies at the un- I
veiling of the monument ereeteil toGen- |
eral Hill. He said that rebel flags in
the streets of Richmond so far outnum-|
bered those of the stars and stripes that I
the latter were only conspicuous by !
their absence from nearly all decorative
displays on that occasion. He conclud
ed his remarks by introducing the ora
tor of the evening, when General Sheri
dan advanced to the stage and for over
two hours held the large audience al
most spell bound by bis logical, forceful
and pleasing review of the tariff and
other questions involved in the present
; campaign. He began by calling atten- j
I tion to the utterance of the democratic
!
j
national P ,atforra ' which declares the I
McKinle > L" 1 unconstitutional, stating j
that he was shocked with this revelation 1
,
' until he oonsidered that in this matte,
ttS upon all others of vital importance,
the democrats were mistaken. In sup
; P ort of this conclusion he recalled the
! f,,et that ever >' of the republican
party, from the declaration in its plat
form in 1856 embodying the principle of
federal control of the territories until
! the I ,reB » nt llme ha,t declared un .
j uonstitutiomd-not excepting the elec
3' on of Abraham Lincoln to the presi
' '' < nc - v ' n anc ^ (l |e following success
r 11 ^ effort to crush out the rebellion,
; ^ ur ^ er °it©d the fact that among
■ * aws passeil and signed by
President Washington after the adopt
tion of the constitution wus one for the
----
l'Hu^ution c-f lalxir and industries, and
'(hat l»ter legislation known as the McKin-!
ley bill had l>een declared constitutional
by the United States supreme court a
decision that would be accepted as far
more authoritative than the declaration
of a democratic convention. He claimed
that much of the credit for the passage
of this act was due to the stand tnken
by Speaker Reed. The speaker was not
only able to see a democrat in the house
but wus able to go him one better and
elevate him to the dignity of a law
maker by counting him present and vot
ing and this action was sustained by
the supreme court.
Having established ihc constitution
ality of the protective tariff luw he en
tered into a logical discussion of the
■ selx-es eomfortaLlc homes. The average
j ««ages of the American engineer is 8110
laborers in this country under a protect-1
ive tariff with labor in England under a
tariff for revenue only as advocated by
the democratic party. In making com
parisons he took the wages of mechun
ics engaged in like avocations in New
York and London, the principal cities of
the two countries. In New York
the average wages of brickmasons
is 84 per day for eight hours' work, while
in London men similarly engnged are
paid but 81.62 per day for nine hours'
work. Continuing through the list the
speaker showed a similar disparity in
wages between the countries in all
trades in which men are employed, and
closed by effectually exploding the false
claim made by free traders—or advo
cates of a tariff for revenue only—that
the difference in the cost of living was
materially lessened by the prices of ne
cessities of life in the two countries.
England not being to any great extent a
producer of breadstuffs and meats, these
staple articles that contribute largely to
the sustenance of the laboring classes
must of necessity he imported, entailing
a cost for transportation in addition to
the first cost in this country. Making a
local application the speaker took the
case of a locomotive engineer on the
Northern Pacific, comparing it with
that of the beet paid engineers upon
leading English roads. In both in
stances the comparison was made upon
the supposition that such employes are
thrifty men, animated by a desire to ac
cumulates competence and provide them
month, while those of England
t»« «i«.«. «h*, i
than 8600 per annum, conceding that
they work every «lay in the year. He
then estimateil the cost of living of the
American engineer at 87 per week for
board. 8150 per annum for clothing, and
allowing him 884 for incidental expenses,
establish«*! the fact that the wages of an
American engineer would permit him to
less
save each year a sum of money in excess
of the total paid to the locomotive engi
neers of England.
In discussing the wool, lead and silver
questions, in which the west is more di
rectly interested than any other, he
clearly convinced his hearers that the
policy and attitude of the republican
party was far more beneficial than that
of the democratic party. While upon
the silver question it is conceded that
neither party fully meets the require
ments of silver producing states, the lit
terances of the republican party and the
position of its leading men and candi
<latcs is more nearly in harmony with
western demands than those of the dem
ocratie party and its goldbug standard
bearer, Grover Cleveland. He also cited
(ho opposition of the democratic party
to the present silver luw and the defeat
<lf the Bland and Stewart free coinage
hills by a democratic house at the session
of congress just closed,
He showed the utter inconsistency of
the democrats ujton the wool question
and their claim that free wool means a
better price to the Hockmaster and at
j
the same tune cheaper raw matenal for |
the manufacturer and consequently j
lower prices to the consumer of woolen !
goods, there must either he a mistake
in assuming that free wool means higher
prices for that product, or there is a de
liberate attempt to deceive the manu
facturers by asserting that under a dem
ocratie free trade policy he will be en
abled to purchase cheujter wool for his
looms.
In closing attention was called to the
attempt of a democratic house to re
move the tariff from lead and permit
this commodity to come from Mexico in
direct competition with American mine
owners and miners of the west. He i
called attention to the able and earnest j
! tariff effort of Mr. Carte, ,while represen
, t»tive f mm Montana,to retain the 1L cent
j «lause in the McKinley bill, and paid |
that gentleman a glowing tribute by as
serting that to his labor, more than to ,
that of any other representative in con-1
gress, was due the fact that the lead
tariff clause was permitted to become a
law.
The speaker was listened to with a rapt
attention throughout that evidenced an
earnest interest in ihe questions under
discussion. His arguments were logical
, , . .
I Hnd convincing, and it is safe to assert
that his vi8it to Livingston will result
i ' n materially increasing the usually I
large republican majority.

Word «vas received in this city Sunday
of a shooting which occurred Saturday
evening in the Boulder mining camp,
about seventy-five miles southeast of
Livingston. The principals in the af
fair were John R. Ramsey and Albert
Smith. The trouble which led to the
encounter was the outgrowth of a con
test over the Hidden Treasure mining
property which was decided adversely
to Ramsey and other contestants at the
last term of district court. Ramsey
claimed that Smith was indebted to him
in the sum of 821 HI, and when the two
men met in the saloon of Ë. J. Keeney
about 7 o'clock Saturday evening Ram
sey made a demand for the money.
Smith did not deny owing the money
but pleuded his inability to pay. Ram
sey insisted upon an immediate settle
ment of his claim, and demanded a pri
vate interview with Smith. The two
men then went out of a side door to the
rear of the saloon, and shortly afterward
those in the building were startled by
the report of a revolver, followed by the
appearance of Smith who ran through
the building, out of the front door and
down the gulch. He was closely pur
sued by Ramsey, who, with revolver in
hand, was detained by the crowd in the
saloon and disarmed. Search was then
made for the wounded man, who was

It was at first supitosed that Smith was
ft'tally injured, but an examination,
showed that the bullet which he claims
was directed at his body had missed its
mark by his sudden turning to escape
and had only pierce«! two holes through
his pants in the vicinity of the abdomen
and afterwards struck his right wrist,
breaking one of the bones near the out
side joint. He was placed in a wagon
