Chairman Wf. hardly credit the story that Clark wan slaughtered to get rid of one of the most formidable candidates for the Senate. Conrad, Dem , for joint councilman in the Yellowstone-Dawson district, is elected over Waters, Rep., by a considerable ma j ority. _ We venture to say that the sixty mil lions loaned without interest to the fav ored banks will be called in before the first of next March. The defeat of so good a man as Warner Miller by so bad a man as David B. Hill, for Governor of New York, constitutes a "spot in onr feast of charity." Five thousand majority already for Carter, and the mercury is still rising. Tuesday was an awfully cold day—for the Democrats. It is a solid North with the exception of New Jersey and Connecticut. And to off set this West Virginia is probably Repub lican and Missouri doubtfal. It lies between Kansas and Pennsylva nia which is to be the banner Republican state, with the chances in favor of Kanaas. Kansas bleeds no more, and did not bleed in vain. The Democrats will soon be taking af fidavits of those who voted for Clark. Let them see to it that each affidavit is ac companied by the certificate of some repu table house holder. Mb. Clark's neighbors appear to have deeerted him with something of the un certainty of his political friends in most parts of the Territy. The majority against him in his home ward is reported at 432. The esteemed orgaa berates Blaine. This, as a matter of course. All such do the same. More than any other man Blaine helped to down Democracy. In doing that he most offended Cleveland Clark and all organs and oracles of their kin. __ Except in Northern Montana, where the Montana Central and Manitoba are omnipotent political factors, the stampede from Democracy was general throughout the Territory. Broad's precincts never flinched, and as usual rolled up for Clark and the straight party ticket some phe aomenal majorities. The Republican standard bearer made the most energetic campaign ever attempt ed by a Delegate in the history of Mon tana politics. M. Carter was bold, in» trepid, vigilant, perserving and confident from the opening to the close of the con test He won the victory gloriously. He was unconquerable. The new editor of the organ foolishly ventures the remark that "the country has had quite enough of Blaine.'' The recent political earthquake didn't show it. Fur thermore, the proprietor of the Independ ent , il he was on the ground, would him self probably be the first man to apprise the new editor of his mistake. The English press, more prndent than 8nckville, affects indifference at Harrison's election. They say Cleveland proved him self a demagogue at the last and forfeited the esteem he had before won. The pros pect that this country will protect its man ufacturing interests and repudiate^ free trade does not awaxen the rejoicing that Democrats predicted over their retention of the markets of the world. The presence of a large squad of special U. S. deputy marshals, at the polls in Helena for the first time in onr history, gives rise to many queries as to its legal ity, propriety and phrpose. They did no harm, for the good people of Helena of both parties have always shown themselves abls to insure quiet and honest elections. The main question is whether a Delegate without a vote in Congress comes within the provisions of the law authorizing the appointment of special deputy marshal. Every Democrat in the country has suddenly became a civil-service reformer. It forcibly brings to mind that familiar ditty: "When the devil was sick, the devil a monk would be. When the devil got well, a devil of a monk was he." AN EXTRA SESSION. It is pretty early to sngge3t an extra session of Congress to the President elect, but if the Democrats at the coming session refuse, as is probable, to admit -Dakota, we believe that tbe outrage upon ths dis franchised people of that long and mneh suffering Territory would justify the call ing of an extra session of Congress as soqp as it could be legally gotten together. South Dakota has a'ready adopted a constitution and elected State offi cers and could be admitted at once, and at the same time, enabling acts could be passed for North Dakota, Montant and Washington. The vote cast last Tne-day is as good as a census to show that all of these Territories, and perhaps others, have every requisite for the earliest possible ad mission as States. If Republicans generally ragprd this question of the importance that it intrin sically possesses, they will join ns in ask ing President Harrison to call Congress to gether as soon as it can be done to correct this long standing injustice. The increasing flood of business requires longer sessions of Congress. With the House organized and the Senate reinforced by the Senators from South Dakota and enabling acts passed for the other Terri tories, it would be a great acceleration of business when Congress came together in December following. If this is not done, we would further suggest that the Legislature of Montana, when it comes together this winter, should provide for another constitutional conven tion to meet daring the summer and pre pare a constitution to be voted on in No vember, and at the same time vote for Members of the Legislature and State officers in case the constitntion was adopted, as, no doubt it would be. Then we would be ready for admission as a state soon after Congress a-^mbled in regular session and we should accelerate Statehood by a year or more. We invite an expression of opin ion from our contemporaries generally on this subject and commend it to the consid eration of Républicain all over the country. THE HOUSE SURELY REPUBLI CAN. We almost feel like apologising for the doubt expressed yesterday of the Republi cans having a working majority in the House. Later retnrns remove all doubt of this kind. The importance of this branch of Congress, where all revenue measures must originate, and which was equally im portant in the matter of admitting new States, led us to scan the returns most care fully till we conld be assured of tha result. McPherson, Secretary of the Congressional Committee, is the best informed man in the country on this subject, and has made it his special business to be in corres pondence with the best posted men in every Congressional district in the country. The latest revised returns show a complete confirmation of his earliest estimate, that the Republican majority in the next House will be fully twenty, and we fur ther predict that Thos. B. Reed, of Maine, will be the next Speaker of the House. GOOD FOR LITTLE DELAWARE. The unexpected good news that tbe Re publicans have a majority in the Delaware legislature, which has the choice of a suc cessor to Senator Saulsbury, is too import ant to be passed without special notice. It has always been considered of late years a pocket borough of the Bayard family, and one familiar with tbe election laws of that state will realize the revolution necessary to have secured the result announced. There must have beep some family quarrel of which we have not yet been advised. The result must be worst for Bayard than Sackville's letter. He will perhapB heed now the New York Herald's advice, to confine his genius to terrapin soup, or something nearer its size than the state department of this great, proud, progressive nation. But the best thing above all odds in this Delaware re sult is the reinforcement of the Republican Senate. THE UNIVERSITY AGAIN. The preliminary work of onr Montana ^ University has .been rendered a little slow on account of the absorbing interest of the political campaign; bat a good beginning has been made, and the enterprise prom ises to be pushed to an early and success ful issue. Every citizen is deeply inter ested in its success, as a permanent and prominent advantage will result to the city and Territory, and should aid in swelling the local contributions to a credit able amount If you are not visited in this interest as soon as yon would like, the agent would be glad to have yon call upon him, or send your address to 738 Eighth avenue. A little united effort just now will se cure this institution for all time, seenre the beet educational advantages to our sons and daughters, and prepare our own youth for the beet positions our future growth may provide. WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN Any Republican rejoicing that omits to make special mention of the grand victory achieved by the Republicans of West Vir ginia would be altogether incomplete. The truth in all its fall proportions is leak ing oat and the victory is apparently as complete and overwhelming as that in Montana. Free trade Democracy did the business and seems to have done it so com pletely that there is no hereafter for the Democracy in that state which bears the first fruits of the »generated [South. Its relapse to Bour bonism was keenly monrned by the Re publicans, bat thanks to such heroes as Goff, who ia just elected Governor, the State ' has come back to the Republi can fold to stay, and it comes in fall force. Az the first permanent breach in the Solid South, it is a noteworthy event. It has the same electoral vote as Connecticut, and with Indiana would give the Republicans their president even without New York. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. "HONOR TO WHOM HONOR." We do not believe in kicking a man when down, bat those who are trying to represent President Cleveland as a victim of a great principle are playing a small farce in the style of high tragedy. Now that Cleveland is snowed ander for free trade we hear that he told Fairchild when writing his message last December, that it would hart him for reelec tion. There is no 'hing particularly in credible about this remark having been made, for any man of ordinary good sense must have seen that it would hart every Northern interest, and the chances of any one dependent upon Northern support. Mr. Cleveland's opinion that free trade "was right, will not elevate him in the. opinion if any one who thinks it wrong. Even greater men than he, have thought so, and doubt, honestly thought so. But the idea that he risked the chances of re-election in his devotion to principle is absurd on its face. Every one knows, through his own first message, that he did not contemplate a second term. Just when and how this ambition was born we are not told. But when it did take possession of him thtte was a complete surrender. It is clear to us that the Southern pleaders made the acceptance of free trade, alias revenue reform, a condition cf renomina tion. Without a renomiuation there could be no re-election. The country does not need be told what passsd between the President and the Southern leaders, it is all written and published in messages and well known acts. Naturally enough Cleveland might have thought free trade would hurt him at the North, but by keeping out Dakota, with a solid South, the whisky and other rings, and the free trade interest of New Y ork city and other sea-ports, there was a possi ble chance to pull through once more, and he took the only chance there was left to him. And never were the whole powers of government more completely prostituted to win an election than in this last cam paign. Civil service reform went ^to, the dogs. His Southern masters had every thing they asked for. The treasury was used for electioneering purposes. Money that should have been used to reduce the national debt was loaned to banks without interest and counted as surplus. Cleveland's ambition for a second term ma le him a ready instrument for Messrs. Carlisle, Mills and Co. of the ex confederacy. It was "now or Lever" to them. When one realized how near those Southern leaders came to succeeding, it almost makes one tremble for tbe future. But tbs danger is past. The South has met another Appomattox in the political field aad the result will be utter mid complete overthrow to the old political South. Within the next four years a new census will increase the relative strength of the North. New States will be admitted that will give that section permanent control of the Senate. Left without executive and official pressure, the peop'e of the North will be almost unanimously iu favor of protection. Before another four years pass away several of the Southern States will bave so increased their manufacturing interests that they will be as reliably Republican as any State at tbe North. Some Democrats remark that Cleveland made a mistake in forcing the issue ot free trade too soon. It was not his fault. It was the only condition on which he conld have had the nomination at all. The ease with which the Southern leaders bent the President and northern Democrats to their will, inspired them to the wild hope that the whole north oould be had to their wishes in the same »way and by the same means. Now that the free trade leaders of the Democratic party have suffered national disaster they will be everywhere re pudiated, and those Democrats who find themselves excluded from the party coun cils for being protectionists will natnrally affilate with the Republicans. There is really no other issue at preseat before the country. A MUDDLE. The la6t general act of the last extra session of the Legislature of Montana made the counties of Park and Fergus one Council district. The second section of the same act says it takes effect from and after the 1st of November, 1888. That was practically four days before election. The law was not in force when the nominations were made, bat it would have been reason able to suppose that nominations would have been made in reference to the law on election day. So far as we can jndge from the pub lished tickets in the newspapers of both Park and Fergus counties, both parties in each connty voted for separated candidates. Granville Stuart was the Democratic can didate in Fergus, and William Fields in Park. And in the same way Frank R. Stoddard was tbe Republican nominee in Fergus and George M. Hatch in Park. The only way that we can see to deter mine who is elected Councilman is to de termine which of these four candidates has the highest vote in the two counties. Re publicans may be elected in both counties, but the one who has the largest vote mast represent both coanties, though in one c oanty he did not receive • single vote We mast presame the voters of 'these two coanties know what they were doing and will be satisfied with the result. BEFORE AND AFTER ELECTION. BEFORE. Who is Tom Carter? —Biter Press. AFTER. Tom Carter is a gentleman who, by the grace of two Montana Democrats, will rep resent this Territory at Washington for two yean, commencing March 4, 1889.— Biter Press. The Biter Press holds two Democrats re sponsible for the party collapse. It den't name them, bat the insinuation plainly points to Word and Penrose.

The latest from * Fort Benton says that 13 out of 24 precincts give Clark 216 majority and that the re maining eleven will probably increase his majority to 30U. MUGWUMPS AN Ü PKOHIUb TIONIS rs. It is too soon to tell just what figure these two political contingents cut in the late election. In New York, the leading organs of the Mugwumps were for Cleve land for President and Miller for Governor, and as neither succeeded we may natural ly infer that they injure the cause to which they attach themselves. They were in favor of Cleveland as a civil service reformer and when that pretext failed they supported him as a free trader. They are the worst enemies of the Repub lican party. Pretending to be better than other men, they consort with the worst and always do their utmost at the worst time and for the worst cause. Judged by their acts rather than their professions, they rank well down among the Southern ku klnx. They seem to be a cross between a hypocrite and assassin and do no credit to either parentage. As fur the prohibitsonists, it would not be fair to speak of them all as influenced by the same motives. Some of them are Sincere and their motives are to be respected. They call themselves temperance people, but they are forever lending themselves to defeat the cause e they pretend to serve. In New York they aided to their utmost the election of the saloon candidate for Governor. They are the allies of the Democratic party everywhere. Their excuse is that they can make no impression on the Dem ocratic party, but they hope by breaking up the Republican party that a large pro portion of it may come to them and that they can thus assume the size and influence of a national party. They believe, judged by their acts, in doing evil that good may come. Thecanse of temperance in the world has no worse enemies than the pro fessional Prohibitionists. They shoeless sense and more malignity than any party in onr prolific history of parties in this country. As long as the cause of temper ance is in their hands nothing for its prac tical success can be expected. Anything that can be done to repress the evils of intemperance deserves the hearty support of good men of all parties, and they conld easily bo brought together by rational means. Bat Prohibitionists don't want temperance, nnlees in their prescribed way, and that they never will get so long as there is good sense left to a majority of mankind.

STILL RISING. After Numerous Fluctuations the Car ter Majorities are Figured up Correctly in Silver Bow and Missoula.

Carter's majority 1,573. The vote at Mel rose is about a stand off and will not afi'ect the result, as it is understood that 90 votes were cast and each candidate got about half Missoula county.

A lady friend of the Herald tells the following story of an incident that trans pired the night of election day: The Hel ena polls had closed a id the cheers of hun dreds of men for Carter conld be heard coming from the crowds in front of the newspaper offices. The lady stepped to her window to watch the snow Btorm, which was just at that timeraging furious ly. The Hakes were coming down thick and fast and already a white carpet cov ered the ground. Soon she heard tbe sound of a voice and, peering out in the dark, she descried the figure of a small boy, Dot mere than eight years old, ploddiDg along in the snow in the middle of the street. He had a backet of milk in one hand, bat it was evident his thoughts were else where than on his errand. He held his bead down and mattered to himself, sup posing no doabt that no one heard him* The lady, however, caught his words, which were: "What'o the matter wUh Carter ? He's all right. Ther're no be gs on Carter. You can bet yonr bottom dollar on him"—and the queer little figure, covered with snow, moved on down the block, still mattering to himself, "no bugs on Carter." A SEQUEL.
