TOCHALLENGED VOTERS^Your right to vote has been as^^sailed by the republican party^without warns! or reason. The^flimsy grounds for these chal^^lenges cannot be sustained in any^court. The best lawyers in the^territory say that you have a per^^fect right to vote. Do not listen^to any one who tries to frighten^you from casting your ballot on^election day. All that is neces^^sary for you to do is to go to the^polling place, make out your bal^^lot and swear it in. No man has^any right to stop you. no judge^of election has any power to do^you injury hereafter; and every^good citizen will be at your back^to sustain you.

ChairmanScli^iuan hits hail an ail^dress to republicans written anil put in^print. It is the imbecile wind up to a^pusillanimous campaign. Mr. St'lijr-^man wants to insult some democrat,^just for a parting shot, but he hasn't^the manliness to say who he is aiming^at. The insinuations with which the^address is bespattered are typical of^the bush-whacking methods followed^by the republicans since the canvass^started. Here is a sentence, for in^^stance, worth pasting on the wall:^^In mine* controlled by corrupt demo^^crats, republican miners will, if possi^ble, be kept under ground on election^^ day.** ^Mines controlled by corrupt^democrats,^ is simply great. The^Tribune almanac does not give the list^of these men, neither are they found in^the city directories. Fixed up in the^form in which it appears in the ad^is little declaration is a bit of
TOMORROW SETTLES IT.^This day ends a canvass which, in its^outcome, means more to Montana than^even the moat thoughtful citizen can^easily estimate. To-morrow's election^will put on record the popular will re^^garding the new constitution, and the^people will say to which of the two^great political parties they prefer to^intrust authority in the new state.
Forthirty days the claims of^the rival candidates have been be^^fore the voters. At the head of^the democratic ticket stand the names^of two men who have served the terri^^tory unselfishly in the past, whose rec^^ord has not been successfully assailed,^who enjoy the complete confidence of^the people, and who are are best fitted to^render useful and dignified service to^the new state. Out of the bitterness^and personality of an exciting canvass^they come with names on which there^is no stain. A virulent and slanderous^opposition has not been able to hurt^them. They have lieen faithful ser^^vants in the past; they merit popular^reciiguition now.
Coto the polls to-morrow and elect^Joseph K. Toole governor. Let the^decree come from the ballot box that^will make Martin Maginnis the first^mem tier of congress for the new state.^Put the legislative power into the^hands of the party that has adminis^^tered the affairs of this territory for an^unbroken quarter of a century with^honesty, with patriotism and always^with reference to the good of all the^people. Stand by the political tradi^^tions that have resulted in building up^this commonwealth, and put into the^ballot box to-morrow your protest^against the party that sought to retard^Montana's entrance into the ITuion for^partisan ends. Let every democrat do^his duty!
Withall their columns of vitupera^^tion, the Hutte Hoirler, the Hutte^Inter Mountain. and the Helena^Journal and the republican managers^have not been able to blacken^the character of Marcus lialy, to^awaken suspicion regarding his per-^sonal or political integrity or to lessen^the measure of esteem in which he is^held by his fellow citizens. Conscious^at the outset that the democratic can^^didates themselves could not be suc^^cessfully assailed, the republican press^undertook early in the contest to fix^public attention on the chairman of^the democratic .entral committee and^by a course of indecent insinuations^to weaken whatever influence he might^seek to exert in the canvass. The gen^^tleman has needed no defense in news^patters. We believe that the vindica^^tion awaiting Mr. l^aly, to-morrow, at^the hands of his townsmen will be so^emphatic as to silence those who have^sought to slander him, from this time^forth.
Bemire ynit rote, ami make it a point^to nee that yourfriend* wtte.
Notless than 150 men are engaged in^this city earning weekly wages from^Thomas C. l'ower. -Helena Journal.^We trust the Journal will urgently^warn these men not to let their repub^^lican millionaire employer coerce them.^Of course it will insist that Mr. Power^intends to discharge them the instant^this campaign is over. Isn't it alto^^gether probable that Mr. l'ower will^sort out the democrats, put them in the^cellar and that ^if possible they will be^kept under ground on election day.
Totell Mr. Seligman, signer of the^republican address, that he is a liar^would simply be telling that individual^what he himself is perfectly well^aware of.
GETOUT EARLY.^Chairman Seligman tackled the^wrong camp when he tried to scare^Anaconda voters by the operation of a^two-leggetl allidavit machine. Voters^in this city are not so easily bulldozed.^It appears that the affidavits do not all^read alike, some of them being artfully^worded in a manner that will not pass^muster in any court. The ground for^challenge is the same in all of them,^but in instances, where the allegation^against the voter is notoriously false,^the wording is so arranged as to strip^the declaration itself of all title to legal^form.
Nobodyunderstands this feature of^the business lietter than the men who^devised these affidavits. Their pur^^pose was to get up some sort of pro^^ceeding which would frighten voters.^Whether the thing was done through^accepted legal forms, was a matter of^minor account with them. The event^proves that the challenges will not^operate us a scare, but, as we have re^^peatedly pointed out, they will prove to^be a source of provoking delay, as was^intended by those who got them up.
Votersin this city must exert them^^selves to the utmost, to-morrow, to^match the schemers by getting every^^body to the polls early in the day.
Thedemocratic ship of state will ride^into the port of victory on the first^Tuesday in Octolier. crowned with gar-^lauds from her jib-boom to her stern^post.

NOTCLEVER ENOUGH.
Thefading hopes of Montana repub^^licans are pretty accurately measured^by the relative sise of the falsehoods^with which they have sought to divert^the voting public from real issues. The^lie factory maintained at the republi^^can headquarters this year has not^been running along successful lines.^Kvery last yam has been prompt^^ly disposed of by the democratic press,^and the people will go to the polls to^^morrow with all the rubbish of false^hood brushed out of their way.
Probablythe most stupid fake which^republican newspapers ever attempted^to fois on voters was that concerning^the l'ower pamphlet. That it was a^bit of treachery invented by republi^^cans to injure Mr. l'ower himself, is^now a well-grounded conviction^in the minds of voters. When^the tlodge turned out to be^a deformed and decrepit creation,^the republican managers started their^newspajM-rs at work grinding out^s|iecial editions devoted to all sorts of^nonsense about coercion, fraudulent^registry, and the like. It was boodle in^Beaverhead, intimidation in Silver liow,^impressment in Anaconda and rot of^that sort, none of it ingenious enough^in the line of campaign lies to attract^attention and all of it too manifestly^untrue to command a hearing with the^public.
Thereis no reason why any intelli^^gent community or any decent news-^pajier should pay heed to these floating^falsehoods. Indeed, none of them lived^long enough to get fairly before the^people. The republican committee^ought to have taken part of the cam^^paign fund furnished through Chair^^man Quay to equip its Helena head^^quarters with some imported genius^who has a knack at getting up fresher^and more impressive lies than those^which have been fired at us within ten^days.
Thereis no branch of industry in^Montana that has not found in Mr.^Power a champion and a friend.--^Helena Journal.
