Tliey KnterlHin nn Audience Willi the Knl
lacke* and .SopItlNt rlea of Free Trade.
Congressman W. W. Dixon, Hon. Rob
ert B. Smith of Helena, and Jess«* Hus
ton, democratic candidate for state
treasurer, arrived from the eastern part
of the state Wednesday morning and
spent the day in getting acquainted with
the voters of the city.
of
In the evening the grnnd democratic
rally, vhich had been extensively adve'
tised for several days past, was held in
the new opera house, there being a fair
sized audience present composed princi- l
pally of ladies, republicans and small
boys.
The meeting was opened by John T.
Smith who introduced as the first speak 8e
erofthe evening Hon. E. C. Day, can- j
didate for attorney general. Mr. Day
spoke for abouta half hour and returned
thanks for the loyal support received
from residents of the city during the
past, closing with a brief explanation of
the issues dividing the two great par- ^
ties.
Mr. Hasten was then introdu ced and K
made a brief address. He stated in the
beginning that lie was no orator, and
consumed about three minutes in prov ! "
ing this assertion. He had come west
when a boy with cuttle and had followed
the business ever since. He had not
sought the nomination and was greatly
surprised when he heard that he was
nominated. He was in the tight though
to stay and hoped that every democrat
would see that in the roundup this fall
every maverick bore the democratic
brand.
Congressman Dixon followed Mr. Has
ton and spoke for about thirty minutes.
In this brief time he fully demonstrated
that whatever else he may have failed
to learn in congress, he did not fail to
catch on to the democratic methods of
misrepresentation. Mr. Dixon stated
that he was pleased to tind a disposition
among all classes to discuss the issues
of the campaign in a calm and iinpurtinl
spirit, and then proceeded to discuss
j them in an entirely opposite manner.
I After devoting considerable time to a
! discussion of the tariff he passed to the
I silver question. He did not claim that
j all of the democratic party or Cleveland
! were friendly to silver, but did claim
! that a majority of the party were. He
knew further that a majority of the re
j publican party and Harrison were op
posed to it. The democrats, whenever
they had a majority in congress had,
with possibly one or two exceptions,
passed a free coinage bill. In the lust
session of congress a majority of the
democrats had voted for it, which
m.

democratic party was friendly I
white metal, notwithstanding th
that the last democratic congress failed
to pass a free coinage bill when they had
138 working majority. Mr. Dixon at
nority for the defeat of the bill.
gressman had the effrontery to tell his
hearers that all the opposition his bill
met with in the last congress came from
the republican side of the house. Prob
ably he forgot that the Anaconda Stand
ard, the official organ of the democratic
party in Montana and a paper that is
backed by Marcus Daly (who is also Mr.
Dixon's backer) has repeatedly declared
that Speaker Crisp would not recognize
Dixon on the mineral land bill owing to
the fact that the speaker had been a
member of the committee on railroads
and was in sympathy with them, but the
audience remembered this fact and no
applause greeted the attempt of the con
gressman to saddle his own ignominious
failure in this matter and the opposition
of Crisp onto the republican party. The
segregation bill was the next subject for
discussion. After thanking the Living
ston committee that went to Washing
ton for their assistance, Dixon explained
the bill, the different kinds of opposition
it met with, and predicted that inasmuch
as the democratic state convention had
seen tit to incorporate a segregation
plank in its platform, the next congress
would feel very favorably disposed to
wards the bill.
Hon. Robert B. Smith was the last
speaker of the evening and entertained
the audience for more than an hour with
an eloquent and interesting address. In
order to sustain his reputation as the
best tariff speaker in the stute he
plunged at once into that issue, devoting
most of his time to an appeal to the ig
norance and prejudice of those who were
not sufficiently posted to see thiough
his game of razzle dazzle. Mr. Smith
spent no time in trying to prove that
protection does not increase wages but
immediately caught up the democratic
war cry of "millionaires" and "the bil
lion dollar congress" and sang this bat
tle cry of democracy to his heart's con
tent. He deplored the fact that there
were now hundreds of millionaires in
this country when but thirty years ago
there were only a few, but during all his
tirade against the protected millionaires
he failed to mention the names of Mar
cus Daly, Sam Hauser, W. A. (.Mark,
Timothy E. Collins, or the other bloated
bondholders of Montana democracy.
Mr. Smith also reviewed the administra
tion of President Harrison and de
nounced the dependent pension bill and,
of course, took a shot at the force bill.
Then he passed to the eulogy of Grover
Cleveland. Two or three different times

l ,il °ked in ice a chillier reception could
not possibly have been accorded the
f(,r Andrew Jackson Sparks and the oon
8e 'l "ont annoyance and trouble to set

Smith closed his eulogy with a predic
tion that the

countiy would go demo

introduced by Mr. Smith and scored

labor. Nothing, however, was said re
K ar ding the thirty odd suits pending
"ff«'nst the railroad controlled by Tim
Collins ' democratic candidate for gov
! " rnor ' ^ or importing foreign laborers in
to the state. Mr. Smith then passed to
local matters, and implored the audience
to stay with the party that had con
trolled the state for thirty years.
. lit
a en r.r H W ° e 1 "* mee * ,ln B was
tame. Hie democrats had promised
that when Dixon and Smith came we
would have ar. able discussion of the is
sues. The wool and lead questions were
completely ignored by both speakers,
and no attempt was made by Congress
man Dixon to explain bis vote in favor
of free wool. No reference was made by
either orator to sustain the democratic
party, and never once, during all their
wander.ngs, did they refer to the nation-,
al platform of their party. The people,
ora sufficient number of them, were
present but all enthusiasm had been left
outside. The audience listened respect
fully, but Bob Smith's oratory, and this
alone, was all that saved the opening of
the democratic campuign from being a
complete failure.

THE BLUE BIRD.
An luveHtiKHtion Glut May Renuit in Ke
«t|>«i»ii)K the tirent Silver Mine.
Inter Mountain: Wm. G. Didrichsen,
secretary and treasurer of the Blue Bird
company, is in the city from New York.
The mission of the gentlemen is under
stood to be an investigation of the Blue
Bird company as to the legal compli
cations involved with a view of ascer
taining whether a resumption of opera
tions is possible.
It is stated that this move has been
made upon the suggestion of Mrs. Van
Zandt, who is anxious that the plans of
her lamented husband with regard to
the development of the property should
be carried out. The lady herself has
great confidence in the future of the
mine and is desirous of testing its mer
its by further exploration. The miners
of Burlington, whose friend and bene
factress is Mrs. Van Zandt, will be re
joiced to learn of her intentions concern
ing the Blue Bird and of her efforts to
clear up the legal complications which
resulted in closing it down under Buch
sad and distressing circumstances. Y'es
terday a party of gentlemen, including
Mr. Didrichsen and W. H. Kellar, visit
ed the property. That such a magnifi
cent plant should longer remain idle
seems a great pity, and no efforts will
be spared to start it up again.

the one that assembled at the opera house
Thursday evening to hear Hon. John E.
Rickards, republican candidate for gov
ernor, and Judge L. J. Hamilton of
Butte, discuss the issues of the cam
paign. Republican enthusiasm was on
tap and the reception accorded these
distinguished Montanans is one long to
be retIietnbered . Great
preparations
hud been made for the event and the
opera house presented a beautiful ap
pearance. In the rear of the stage a
handsome crayon portrait of President
Harrison looked down upon the now fa
moU8 uUeranee of Governor Rickards,

side of the stage were the following well
known emblems of the republican party:
"Protection for American Labor," "Free
Men, a Free Ballot, anti Free Silver,"
"Naturalized and Native Born," "Pro
tection nnd Reciprocity," "Wages for u
Sheep Herder in Montana 840 per Month;
in Canada and Australia, 88." Red,
white anti blue streamers were suspend
ed from every side anti corner of the
stage and from the galleries, while num

house plants decked the stage
every hand and added their fragrance to
the occasion. Much credit is due the !
ladies who arranged and decorated the
opera bouse for the tasty manner in
which they performed their labors.
As soon as night came on the mem
bers of the Flambeau club, under the
direction of A. VanBrocklin, assembled
at the store of Geo. T. Chambers where
a procession was soon formed and head
ed by the Liv.ngston drum corps, Ltv
inK8ton bund and Cokedale band, the
, ine of mHrch wag taken up to the Albe .

; |
! drawn by four
a curriage
audsome blacks, that
! headed the procession which then moved
again in the direction of Main stree .
I As the immense column of republican
voters moved along the principal thor
qughfure of the city with the ffumbeuus
vomiting streams of flame, with Roman
candles playing in every direction and
with the bands playing the wellknown
campaign air of "Marching Through
Georgia," the hundreds of people upon
the sidewalks cheered the republican
standard bearer to the echo. After
marching to the foot of Main street the
procession moved to the opera house,
which was already crowded with an im
mense audience of ladies and gentlemen.
In a few minutes Chairman Deutsch
appeared on the stage with the speakers
of the evening, and accompanied by
Judge Henry, S. L. Holliday, A. W.
Miles, W. E. Thompson, F. H. Foster, M.
R. Wilson. George Alderson, A. R. Joy,
J. E. Gustine, F. W. Wright, Charles R.
Glidden, John Harvey, H. J. Miller, A1
vin P. Vinnedge, W. H. Poortn an, Get).
T. Chambers. J. R. King and Hon. W. F.
Meyer and Hon. Paul VanCleve.
In calling the meeting to order Chair
mnn Deutsch said that the campaign in
to
Park county would be opened tonight by
the next governor of Montana; that he
had heard on the side that everything
said by the democratic speakers the
night before would be contradicted. He
then closed by predicting a republican
victory and introduced as the chairman
of the evening, Hon. W. E. Thompson.
In assuming the duties of chairman
Mr. Thompson seid that it afforded him
great pleasure to be present and partici
pate in the republican enthusiasm and
to assist in dedicating the opera house
not to any political party but to the pro
gressive and enlightened people of the
city of Livingston. Mr. Thompson then
devoted a few minutes to correcting
some of the erroneous impressions left
by Dixon and Smith. Two years ago,
speakers had assured the people that
the passage of the McKinley bill meant
a consequent rise in the prices of wool
en goods, canned goods, towels, crash,
clothing, pearl buttons, and other arti
cles. Traveling men had advised mer
chants of every kind to lay in a supply
of goods as the McKinley bill would
raise the price of woolen goods and other
articles 100 per cent. The facts are that
after two years trial of the McKinley
bill, woolen and plush goods, canned
goods, crockery, furniture, cutlery, tow
j els and crashes, and every other article
at | is just as cheap, if not cheaper than two
years ago, while in the United States
are numberless woolen and plush nulls,
button, and other factories that
| have been shipped over from the old
he said, Congressman Dixon and other
| country,and ]>eari buttons andmany other
articles that formerly came from Europe
II. : are now manufactured and purchased by
j the merchants in America. Thesestate
j ments, from one of Livingston's oldest
and most reliable merchants, was loudly
I cheered, and completely upset Dixon
a
and Smith's misrepresentations. Mr.
Thompson then closed with an eloquent
eulogy of Governor Rickards, who was
introduced as the first speaker of the
evening.
As the governor arose to speak he was
greeted with hearty applause and grate
fullv returned his thanks for the cordial
reception. It afforded him great pleas
lire to stand before a Livingston audi
ence as he had, together with Mr. Holli- !
day. had a hand in the creation of Park
county, while they were members of the i
territorial council, and consequent- i
u
ly he had always had a friendly
feeling and interest in the county.
He made no pretensions of
being an orator but simply a plain busi
ness man. Heretofore the residents of
Montana had been only onlookers in na
tional politics, but under a republican
to
! Cleveland but he weighs more. In clos
' n g his eulogy of Harrison Mr. Rickards
administration they had been lifted to a 1
higher plane and would now take a hand j
in the tight. The republican party
stood ready to compare its record with
that of the dt mocratic party, which
stands for free trade while the republi
can party stands for protection and reci
procity. It was also ready to compare
its standard bearer with that of the
democratic party. Harrison's adminis
tration bright, clean anil courageous
had not been surpassed in the memory
of man. Every man was proud of the
clean, upright and successful statesman
who was pure minded and incorrupt
able. Harrison was not as fat as Grover
in
.
E .
of
All over the state, he said, you ask the
wool growers and lead miners: "Do you
want free wool?" "Do you want free
lead?" And they unswer, no. Yet Dixon
voted for free wool. Robert Smith, the
speaker said, laid great stress on the
fact that Wayne McVeagh and one or
two others had liolted the republican
ticket. He did not know or care about
this but aid know that all over Mon
tana, and especially in the wool growing
counties, men had shaken his hand and
said: "Soldier, statesman, patriot, match
him if you can, defeat him you cannot."
! assured him that they had always voted
the democratic ticket but this year
. I would vote and work for the entire re
publican ticket.
I The democratic party laid raised the
cry that the tariff wus unconstitutional.
the
im
He remembered in 18tit) when they de
clared the emancipation of the slaves
unconstitutional; when the greenback
and specie payment were declared un
constitutional; and he believed that
when on judgment day the words were
spoken: "Hark! For ye have preferred
darkness to light", the democrat would
say: "Here, I move for a new hearing
in this case; this sentence is unconstitu
tional."
Two years ago Congressman Dixon
had said that the duty on tin plate
would so increase the price of tin that a
laboring man would have to pay so
much for a bucket that his dinner would
be but a ghost of its former self. Every
miner in the state now knows' that thiB
is false and that living is cheaper than
before. If the McKinley bill is such an
iniquitous measure why didn't the demo
crats introduce a bill to repeal it when
they had 139 majority in the house?
Because they knew the bill has been a
blessing. The governor then passed to
his record as presiding officer of the sen
ate, a subject he was better prepared to
speak on. He made this assertion in no
spirit of boastfulness and disliked to be
compelled to introduce the subject,
The democratic press claims that the
fact that he held that seven was a ma
jority of sixteen demonstrates his unlit
ness for office. In this matter he had
no appology to make nnd said, with all
emphasis, that he was proud of what he
did as presiding officer of the senate and
was also proud of the fact that, to the
best of his ability, he discharged the
duties of the office. He then detailed
the proceedings in the senate which
were in substance ns follows: The sen
ate had been called together by the gov
ernor but the democratic members re
fused to come in and take the oath of
office. After staying out several days
they finally came in on the 24th of Jan
uary and took the oath. On the 27th
Senator Fisher presented a resolution
that the senate now proceed with the
organization. Senator Becker moved
that the resolution be laid on the table.
Fourteen senators were present at the
time and it took but nine to constitute a
quorum. Some refused to vote but four
teen were present and when seven of
these voted aguinst Becker's motion
the others refusing to vote—Rickards
declared the motion defeated and the
senate proceeded with the election of
officers. This ruling had been held to
be good and some of the best constitu
tional lawyers from the Atlantic to the
. Paeifio had told him the ruling v as per
feetly right
The speaker then paid a glowing corn
pliaient to A. C. Botkin, candidate for
, ,, ,, c .
lieutenant governor, and Hon. C. S.
Hartman, candidate for congress, lie
urged upon all voters the necessity of
staying by their legislative tickets and
after returning thanks for the close at
tention accorded him he gave way to
Judge Hamilton.
As the hour was getting late Judge
Hamilton made but a brief address in
which he discussed wool, lead and silver
and I hen passed to the state ticket, pay
mg a beautiful tribute to the worth and
ability of Charlie Hartman, who was
! prevented by sickness from being pres
ent. Governor Rickards' career was
i also reviewed, after which the speaker
i urged the voters to see that a republican
of
of
legislative ticket was chosen in Park
county.
This closed the speaking, and while
the Cokedale band discoursed one of
their liveliest strains, the audience tiled
out highly pleased with the meeting and
loud in their praises of the excellent
a 1 showing made by the next governor of
j the state of Montana,
mil'LHLIt I.KITKIt
The Boulder mining district has been
in existence for nearly twenty years, but
for some reason, not easily explained, all
operations until quite recently have been
confined to a particular locality. All
development work and nearly all pros
pecting have, until within the past two
years, been confined to the locality of
the Hidden Treasure, Independent and
Pooruian claims as though those claims
and their immediate surroundings em
braced the entire mineral belt. Pros
pectors have lately pushed beyond these
limits and the result is that many new
locations, assaying high in gold and sil
ver, have been made. The mountains
the on the west side of the East Fork have
been the principal Held for operations
during the past summer. Among the
claims there located and which bid fair
the to be paying properties may lie man
the tioned the "Pioneer", located by Henry
or Kaiser, Edward Dysle and John Ander
so«- This claim runs high in gold and
has every indication of being one of the
best mines of the district. In proximity
4° Th is location is the Drum Lu m mon,
and , located by Edward Kugel and Edward
Newman
Then comes the Lady Elgin,
located by James Howell. By the side
re- of this claim is one of the largest leads
in the Boulder district, the Syndicate
the Lode, located by Thomas Petty, Thos.
de
un
that
were
Laforge and Mr. Dowty, and the Mam
moth lode, located by Edward Kogel and
Edward Newman. This lead is alxiut
twenty feet wide and is enclosed in solid
granite walls and is one of the most
promising leads in the district. Many
other new locations have been made and
some of them have very promising leads.
More development work has been
done this season than ever before anil
the results are more gratifying to the
a

property owners.
The Independent company are run
ning their mill and developing their
property with a full crew of men.
The Hidden Treasure company have
not yet started up and may not this
winter.
The Poorman has shut down to await
the completion of the electric plunt
which is now nearly done and when com
pleted will a much cheaper power than
steam. The company will then start
their mill for a winter's run. The run
recently made by this company by
which they took nine pounds of .gold
from fourteen tons of ore is sufficient
evidence that the talk of gold in the
Boulder district is based upon facts that
are worth the investigation of those who
j llla y desire to invest in that kind of
the : property.
