Governor David B. Hill's speech ut Elinirn
last night struck Washington ( is n Hhuro
challenge tn ex-President Cleveland. It was
interpreted tomean , that the governor would
ns ! < und tight for the presidential nomination
next year in bpito of thu standing candidacy
of the ex-president. The spcccn was the
subject of almost as much comment in demo
cratic circles us Was the suoukorship contest.
It was porno time ago generally believed
Hill's election to the sennit ) would pacify bis
longing for the presidential nomination , aud
that ho would wheel into line for his rival.
There is not , however , any uncertain ring in
his speech. At every unpopular point of Mr.
Cleveland the governor delivered a thrust.
His plea for tbo free silver vote is considered
a very smart.trick. In a word , the governor
proposes the univerbiil coinage of u silver
dollar , coining bullion with an Intrinsic vuluo
of $1 in gold.
It ts boiiovod that this ; was proposed by
Senalor Voerheos dilrlng his recent trip
with Governor Hill to Jilcjimond and Atlanta.
Thu Indiana senator , Ls , l)1uirly ) opposed to
Mr. Cleveland for many reasons. Amom ?
other thlngH Voorhcos is for free coinage , yet
he knows that would Ioso1iinv man the state
of New York. The character of free coinage
proposed by Hill , it wfievidently thought by
Voorhccs , would receive the respect of Now
York and at the 5:1010. : time be a blinder upon
and null the wool ovoi' ' the eyes of the west
und south , or rather the democratic ulonunls
of these sections. , ,
Hill In tlio rrcHfdoittlal Knee.
Hill Is now fairly In the race for the presi
dential nomination. Thin speech delivered
Just before his departure for Washington ,
whom ho entered the upper branch of congress -
gross und just beforetlid'convenlng ' of the
democratic caucus forltho.olcctlon ; ( of ofllcers
of the national hoiug of representa
tives , Is regarded as significant by democrats
from every section of tbo country.
It was a masterstroke of politics nnd had the
desired effect upon the sucakcrshlp canvass.
It helped Crisp of Georgia , thu Hill-Gorman
candidate , and Injured Mills of Texas , tbo
Cleveland candidate.
Some of Mills' friends almost threw up
their hands In horror when they read the
speech. They acknowledged that It would ,
as It did , huvo u forceful effect upon the
contest , which at this writing is waging In
the democratic caucus. It had tbo oftect ,
too , of spurring the Mills men on to a point
of offensive aggressiveness and in. two ways
injured their cause. In the estimation of the
tlrst democratic heads tonight und many of
the best friends of Mr. Cleveland , iho Block

BUFFALO PATROLLED BY ARMED COWBOYS

Hiiltof the Intense Incitement
In Tlint Immed
iate Vicinity.
CIICYENSI : , Wyo. , Dec. o. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun Bun. ] The excitement in Buf
falo over the two recent assassinations of
ranchmen has somewhat subsided , but
trouble is still coutldcntly looked tor. Last
nlcht the town was patrolled by u party of
fifty armed cowboys , who had como in from
Powder river In the belief that the work
of extermination had been commenced
against men who were alleged to bo
rustlers. Trouble was looltcd for at
any moment nnd it was with
general relief that the law-abiding pcoplo
awoke this morning to discover that no acts
of violence bad been committed during tbo
night. There was recently .started In Buffalo
an organization known as the Johnson County
farmers and S toe Union's Protocllvo asso
ciation. To this organisation a number of
mon alleged to bo cattle rustlers belong. The
two men who wnro absausl.mtcd were com
monly reputed to bo mailers , although this
has been denied in the C4 ! > a of Jones , but
both mon belonged to iho now association.
When the news of their murder was curried
abroad It was generally bulievcd by their
fiends that the worU or rotullallon on thu
art of Ilia big stockmen had been com
menced and It was necobuury for the self pro
tection ol all of them to gather together and
display their Htrongtb.
A man named Bash hoard thu shots vthlcti
killed the two horses owned by Tlsdalo and
the supposed murderer rlilo away , although
at this time ho did not suspect that any foul
work bud been done. This man afterward
In attempting to describe the murderer ,
said ho rode a borne which ciojoly re
sembled onu owned by I-Yam ; M. Canton ,
who is well known ranchman and doputv
United Slates marshal for that district. The
nous rapidly went from mouth to mouth ,
and soon U was stalnd positively that Canton
himself was the murderer.
In the oxcltcd condition of thlnrn the only
wonder Is that moro bloody work did not
follow. Cooler counsel fortunately provallod.
An Interview took place today between Can
ton and Fred Hesse , a big cuttle man , nnd
the rancors from Powder i Ivor. The latter
were completely satisfied that neither of the
two gentlemen could have boon concerned In
the bloody deeds. Two men , ono
of whom is thu president of
the association , were reported mlssini ;
and were consequently hulleved to have
been murdorcd , but both have turned uu nil
right. There arc only OPO or two very largo
cntllo owners living In Johnson county now.
Several of the largo herds still found thora
ura owned bv men living outside of the state.
Cattle rustlers have bccomo strongly In
