The republicans of this county, in
convention assembled last Tuesday,
selected eight gentlemen for the leg
Wslative assembly and selected several
other patriots for the various county
oSces. The voters of Lewis and
Clarke county wear no political yoke,
nor do they go blindly to the polls and
vote straight for party nominees. On
the other hand, they are independ
ent, cosoervative and discriminating,
picking here and there this name,
and that as best suit their notion
and wants. Hence It Is that when
the returas are tabulated the result
reveals the elimination of this or that
ebjectiomable candidate. This is a
It sould be, and as It is hoped may
ever be. Just such independence of
action and eercise of Judgment make
political parties wary that none buat
the best material be olered for the
slrage of the people. As a people
it beheoves as to be discriminating
and carful for whom we vote. It is

rw the past few days, and especially
durinrl the killing frost that fell on

friends took the precaution to lower

THEY IRISTLE WITH STRONG POIISl.
Imemparable sad I'uwerabl.
The republicans in the recent
county convention adt pied an unusu
ally strong and vigorous set of reso
lutions. They unanimously resolved:
That they favor a system of protect
ive duty so adjusted that every Amer
ican resource can be developed by
American labor receiving American
wages, and demand a tariff that will
accomplish these ends. That they
condemn the recent tariff legislation
enacted by the present democratic
congress as unpatriotic, sectional in
its provisions and subversive of the
prosperity and happiness of the peo
ple of the United States. That they
denounce the action of congress in
striking down the principles of reci
procity. That they favor such a re
vision of our laws concerning emigra
tion and natnralization as will pre
vent the admission of aliens belong
ing to the pauper and criminal classes
of the old world. That they demand
the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at a ratio of six
teen to one, and that both be clothed
with full functions of legal tender.
That they favor the granting of lib
eral pensions to the soldiers and sail
ors of the Union. That they testify
with grateful appreciation to the
ability, industry and loyalty with
which the interests of Montana have
been guarded and promoted in the
congress of the Umted States by Hon.
Charles S. Hartman. That they call
attention to the fact that the people's
party affords no promise of rendering
elfcient aid to the interests of Mon
tana. That this nation attained and
enjoyed its highest prosperity under
republican legislation and republican
administration. That they demand
e4 ciency of administration and econ
omy in the conduct of public affairs.
That they demand that our repre
sentatives provide by law for such ex
penditures by the country as are es
msetiaL That they demand that our
legislative assembly, which has here
tofore neglected this essential duty,
reduce to form and order our chaotic
stautory law. That they favor such
amendment to the tax laws as that
the taxpayers shall be permitted to
pay their taxes semi-annually. The
laws appertaining to non-contractual
interest should be so amended as to
reduce the same to not exceeding 8
per cent. per annum, and the laws re
lating to exemptions of property from
execution should be adapted to exist
lng conditions and made more per
spicuous. That tehy earnestly pro
test against all forms of party Inf
delity.
Resolved, That we highly com
mend the action of Gov. Rickards in
refusin agaist the appeals and im
portunites of the democratic press to
convene the legislative assembly in
extraordinary session, to be again as
sailed by the corrupt and venal in the
hope that their candidates could buy
a seat nla the senate of the United
States. And in efcient care of all
the interests of Montana we heartily
endorse the state administration.

The republican county convention
thus paid a neat compliment to our
worthy representatives in the last leg
islative assembly, vis:
Resolved, That we express our ad
miration and gratitude for the noble
firmness and fidelity of the republi
can members of the Third Legislative
assembly from Lewis and Clarke
county, Hon. Alex Burrill, Hon. Rich
ard Lockey, Hon. C. H. Bray and
Hon. Stephen Carpenter, in resisting
the eforts at bribery and corruption
and giving their unswerving support
to the candidates of their party, and
returning to their constituents with
their honor above suspicion or r.

A CIZAIUE W TI iWl
We venture to airm that no county
convention in this Union has had or
will have on the floor at oa and the
same time as many live and aspiring
candidates for the United States sen
ate as had our recent county conven
tion. They were there and appar
ently as unconcerned as though there
was nothing at stake. Judging from
the self-satisied smile worn by each
of the quartette the number should
have been four times eight instead of
simply eight nominees for the legis.
lature.
A DW.oINGUmraD Southern educa

Washington Post, paid a sincere tri

Our heart was moved as we o'er
looked the field of battle. Where
stood brave men with eyes dilated
with expectant hope of honors politi
cal, lay limp forms with aspirations
blighted. Hope carefully nursed and
fed! with cheering words from near
and dear friends lay withered in the
frobt of an early September night.
Men brave and full of fire and zeal
who but a few short hours before had
repeatedly led the van of the charge
on the pick of the county lay just out
side the breastworks. Radiant faces
full of hopeful smiles wearing an un
folded tale of good things in store
that had been so pleasant to look
upon ere the sun had bid them a joy
ous au revoir were now rigid and grim
in hopeless despair. Men strong and
brave who had walked with a Grm and
confident tred into the capacious area
at high noon now lay pitiably await
ing renewed vitality. Men with bright
visions of the future, joyous with anti
cipation, who had fanned their hopes
into a flame but recently, now looked
dazed, blear-eyed and collapsed. The
pompous, sanguine, dictatorial auto
crat of early dawn lay now a stiff.
In contrast with and around this field
of blasted hopes and aspirations stand
the chosen few not in tears and sor
row becoming the occasion; :not with
faces sympathtetic and kind but with
visages joyous and wreathed in smiles
of realized hope. These were the
conquering heroes. They stand with
eyes fixed hitherwards, however, scan
ning the curtain of time with mixed
hope, joy, uncertainty and doubt, and
wel! may they for the future is clouded
in doubt though the sunshine of hope
leads them to believe that the horl

the ides of November, be gently drawn
aside by the benign hand of dame for

We wish to ay a few words of fath
erly advice to those gentlemen who
were honored with nominations by the
recent republican county convention.
We presume they earnestly desire to
secure as many of the three hundred
and fifty colored voters of this county
as possible. They can't be had for
whisky, cigars and a pat on the shoul
der. Money spent that way is wasted.
True, those who drink and smoke will
take whisky and cigars wh3n odered
by generous candidates, but what re
sults are thereb: obtained? It must
be borne in mind that only a fe* of
our colored voters can be reached
this way, and even those who do con
descend to consume the vile articles
peddled out by anxious oMce seekers
do so in a perfunctory manner. The
average colored voter of to-day wants
to know facts and figures concerning
candidates Give us your record
tell us in black and white what you
will do to promote and advance our
welfare as a people-gi- e us a cam
paign of education and not of whisky,
cigars and blarney. The sooner this
course is pursued the better. The
average candidate thinks all he has
to do to keep the colored boys solid is
to "set 'em up" every now and then
(laughing all the time in his sleeve
how easy it is to coddle 'em). Such
campaigning means the loss of a large
number of thinking colored voters
who will resent such tactics to the
extent of voting for the "other fel
ler." The candidate who Agures on
getting by on whisky, cigars and
blarney will have his name called out
"il mreetin'."

We venture to say that not since
the nomlnation of James G. Blaine
by the 'national republican conven
tion at Chicago in 1884 for president,
has there been such another wild
scene of frenzied enthusiasm as
greeted the presentation by Senator
Sanders of the name of Hon. Charles
Ei -man for congressman. Hardly
I .ae name of our distinguished
representative fallen from the sena
tor's lips than the whole convention,
to a man, rose and such an outburst
of demonstrative enthusiasm burst
forth as rarely falls to the lot of man
to see or hear. Even after he had
been thus nominated so exhuberant
was the admiration of the convention
for the distinguished nominee that
the whole convention instantly again
were to their feet and gave three
lusty, rousing cheers with a vigorous
and savage tiger. There exhilerat
inu scenes, enlivened by popular
strains from the band, made a scene
sublimely grand and picturesque.

An exchange commetiag apes
Daly's manner of conducting things
political in Montna and the class of
voters used by him to promote his -in
terests, gives the following illustra
tion to its readers of a sample dagr
voter plucked from the Daly nurmery
and how he has evolved from a grossly
illiterate dago in 1802 and to an act
ive worker for the location of the
permanent capital of this state in
1894. We quote for the benefit of
thoughtful voters.
"In November 1880 Marcus Daly the
Montana boss voted 400 dagos em
ployed by him in his copper works at
Anaconda-now aspiring to become
the capital city of that state-by
pinning to each one of them a print
ed tag and driving them as a band of
sheep to the polls. Printed on these
tags was the following: '1 can neith
er speak, read nor write the English
language, but I wish to vote the
straight Democratic ticket.' And
they voted it 400 strong."
In November 1802 this genus dago,
a la Daly, had so far evolved as to
make his wants known by word of
mouth as follows:
"Mea non canna reada non writa,
but mea wanta to vota da strata dem
ocrata ticket." And they did to a
man just as bors Daly directed.
In November 1884 ever abreast with
the procession this same genus dago
will be herded to the poll and a la
parrot will say in broken tones, "Mea
non canna reads, noa writa, but mena
wanta toa vota fora da Anaconda for
da capitalla. Hellena nox gooda.

The rumor afloat that the recent
bold and successful holdups in this
city were engineered by a hired corps
of expert crooks and criminals em
ployed by 'ntereeted parties to smirch
this city ,..th a view to working up
sentiment against Helena In the
pending capital contest, is not en
tirely discredited by a number of
close observers. That these robber
lee were most skilfully planned and
successfully executed goes without
saying. The fact that our city olM
clals have thus far been unable to ap
prehend the robbers gives color to the
opinion that they have done their
work, got their swag, pocketed their
fee and skipped the state.
LACK N A113T JAG INAIERI
To an unbiased observer it Is ap
parent that there is a lack of har
mony among the leaders of the Repub
lican party of this county. Whether
it is the result of the clash arising
from a multiplicity of brainy men
with adverse interests or conflicting
political ambition, or a desire to rule
or ruin, is a matter demanding speedy
and satisfactory solution. While this
community should feel proud of its
bright galaxy of leaders of national
reputation yet it should insist upon
harmony among them. Oftimes poll
tical constituencies imbibe or absorb
the characteristics of their leaders,
just as an army does of its omcers.
Bold, determined and aggressive com
manders are rebected ina the rank and
file. Harmony of actlei so essential
among military leaders t quite as
much so among political leaders. It
is requisite that the lepublican party
of this county should present a solid
front to assure victory and secure a
solid legislative delegation. Thea let
the leaders set the example by getting
together and worklag for the success
of the party regarudless of censequea
cs to self. What matter it to the
party-the rank and file-who gets
the rake-off. The object to be at
taimed is party supremacy. Who
shall be the beneficiary cuts no figure
with voters. Our array of talent ex
pectant of honors is of such high
order without exception that no mis
take can be made no matter whom of
them the political lightning may
strike. The internal bickering though
on the surface apMparently trivial is
gradnally wortking the diintedgratien
of what shold be a cemented, solid
sad harmonious band of political
brethren. Then let the leaders bury
their individuanl uaspirations, sheave
their knives, shake hands and work
for the election of a solid Republlcan
legislative delegation. After which
let the besrt man nb, and be it said to
the credit of our ceuam folk that
seldom do they make a mistake ain e
lectnlg a chobdice worthy and creditable
to the state and nation.
Il, FIt '8 eW.
The people are jut Itching to get a
whack at the national democratic
party. Electilo day -can coe none
too soon. The following from a recent
speech of Senator Lodge is chuck full
of good common sense :
"The first step toward prosperty will
beto stop these ralds of the Demo
cratic party upon the industrial and
bsulnees systems of the country. This
can be done by th. people themselves,
al byn o e else. If they retnr the
Democrats to power In the Heue nest
November we may look forward to
renewed changes and to a centla
ace of al the trenbles we have had

A lUITM PAMIEL
As Umuul 1e Victim are IIraks.
"Whboo 8heddeth Maun' Blood by Mall Shall
his Blood be Also bed."
We note with feelings of shame and
horror another slaughter of Southern
colored citizens. This time the scene
of butchery is near Memphis, Ten
nessee-the victims number six-the
shotgun process was the means em
ployed and barn-burning the offense
alleged. We strongly favor punish
ment of offenses against the law. We
do not ask sentimental sympathy in
this or other cases of massacre in the
South in which the victims have been
colored citizens. We advocate the
strict enforcement of justice in all
cases where guilt is judicially estab
lished.' But we do strenuously protest
against lynch law. Of the many non
judicial execution of black men in the
South for alleged offenses, in no Single
case dare the perpetrators claim that
resort thereto was rendr.red necessary
through fear of a miscarriage of jus
tice. In every case the machinery of
the courts lay in the hands of the men
or their friends, who committed these
butcheries, hence the fear of justice
being thwarted cannot be pleaded in
excuse.
The idea seems to prevail and is
apparently quite popular in the South
that the black man has no judicial
or other rights that should be .re
spected. This idea is undoubtedly the
outgrowth of certain existing condi
tions which parasitic like are gradu
ally but surely destroying the vitality
of what should ordinarily be the moost
prosperous section of the Union-the
section that offers the greatest in
ducements to capital and immigra
tion, but which, alas, turns away in
disgust and horror because of these
oft repeated atrocities. These wrongs
can only be corrected by a change of
public sentiment in the South. Let
the North take up the cudgel and
cease not until such a sentiment shall
be worked up against these barbari
ties that they will cease to be longer
popular.

We have none but words of the
highest commendation for the gentle
man who was made the nominee for
coroner by the late republican county
convention. We believe that if elec
ted-and the impression seems to pre
vail that he will be by a very hand
some majority-he will perform the
duties of the oice to the best of his
ability and perhaps more zealously
than his advanced age would justify,
yet we are constrained to enter a pro
test against the long line of prece
dents broken when the convention
sought and selected a nominee for
coroner outside of the medical pro
fession. True the law does not make
it mandatory that the coroner shall
be a regular physician, but it must be
remembered that the existing statute
is a relic of territorial days and that
all up-todate commonwealths de
mand that their coroners shall be
regular physicians. This is at it
should be. The profession should be
respected and encouraged and when
places are to be filled requiring more
or less medical training let the fra
ternity become the beneficiary. So
we sny i this case. The Colored Citi
sea is for the right all the time. It
shall know no party when it comes to
a question of right. It shall recognise
no party lines so taut that it will
not cut them asunder when right aqd
justice demand it. It shall reserfe
the right to criticise nominations and
work for the defeat of nominees where
cause exists. Believing that such a
coarse is the province of an indepen
dent journal it feels satisfed In its
own convlctions.

JUNM FRAIl p. SErIUM.
The many friends of Judge Frank P.
Sterling are elated over the graceful
manner he acquitted himself in the
recent county convention. His sold
ierly form, with a tongue eloquent
and convincing, will be a conspicuous
fgure on the stump this fall. As usual
he will be foremost in advocacy of
the election of the ticket presented
by his party. It is rumored, and pro.
bably without the Judge's knowledge
or consent, that his name will be pre
sented for the judgeship of depart
ment No. I of the district court of the
is county soon to become vacant by the
election of Judge W. H. Hunt to the
supreme bench, which political friends
and foes concede is a foregone certrin
ty. The Judge is eminently fitted
and should he allow his name to be
uned there is no doubt he will com
mand such a strong following as to
assure his elevation to the position so
worthily and acceptably filled by
Judge Hunt.

A hearty handshake and a mischiev
ous twinkle of the eye greeted us as
we met our genial and whole-souled
friend Capt. 8wiggett a day or two
after the convention. We were much
pleased to see him looking so jovial
and happy and were about to ask him
if all the senatorial candidates had
withdrawn in his favor as a reason for
his unusually happy mood, when he
bluntly said, "I feel awful good as
I'm in the harness again and will be
just as busy as a bee from now until
after election, canvassing and work
ing for the boys. Do you know I feel
just as though we are going to roll up
a great big majority for our ticket !
I've already been doing some prelim
inary work and when we get things all
in shape it will only be a question of
how big our majority will be." Being.
in somewhat of a quandry we pulled
out our memoradum to see if we really
were mistaken and that after all
Capt. Swiggett had been nominated
for sheriff. It was a fact, the Captain
was so earnest and enthusiastic about
the matter that we were almost ready
to discredit ourselves and believe that
it was he instead of another who had
becn nominated for sheri. Right
generous and royal is the man who
has a heart so large and magnanlmous
that in his zealous de ire to pull In the
party traces he forgets self and can
only see the welfare and promotion of
his successful competitor and fellow
c anddates. All hail to such a mas-
