Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Rickards and Botkin Talk Against Time at Missoula
MISSOULA, Oct. 20. - [Special to the Miner.] - Early in the evening the Republican club to the number of 50, and with the Twenty-fifth infantry band, paraded through the streets. Bonfires were built and as much noise as possible was made with the anvils. This had the effect of drawing something of a crowd to the opera house. The train bearing Colonel Botkin was late, and Governor Rickards addressed the meeting. He attacked the democratic party from all sides, and claimed the credit of Montana's statehood for the republican party.
The favorite wool and lead items were worked upon and the extradition treaty with England was mentioned as a good thing to catch Irish voters with. He spoke of Precinct 34, his action as chairman of the state senate and made an effort to explain the 7-16 majority business.
Colonel Botkin arrived at 9:30 and Rickards acknowledged he had been talking against time and gave way to the colonel, who commenced by referring to the great extent and varied resources of Missoula county and then attacked the democratic national platform and Congressman Dixon's action in congress. It was nearly 11 p. m. when he closed and the audience had thinned out considerably.
