By order of the Republican Central Committee of Park county. Allan R. Joy, Chairman. Geo. II. Weight, Secretary. Livingston, M . T., Aug. 30, 1888. A few interesting notes from our Gardner correspondent in this week's issue show that camp to be still not only in existence, but steadily coming to the front. The last few' days has been the first weather that has had any likeness to the so-called dog days. The mountains have had a hazy blue appearance and the days have been very warm,the nights cool. There does not seem to be much de crease in the travel west. Long trains of sleepers pass through every day, laden with tourists for the Park and other points west, and the hundreds of carloads of emigrants come to the northwest to stay. The editor of the Butte Mining Jour nal and the business manager of the Miner seem to be having a pretty lively time, judging from the remarks made editorially by the Mining Journal. This is hardly carrying out the policy so em phatically laid down at the last meeting of the brethren in Great Falls—that of non-personal journalism. Dispatches from Wyoming say that the train robbers are being pursued by a posse and that they are headed toward the mountains in a northerly direction. This is the same stretch of country which swallowed up the Xorthern Pa cific train robbers a few weeks ago, and it is very easy to suppose that they may be one and the same gang. If so, the accumulated rewards which are now offered for them, dead or alive, would make a handsome sum for their cap tors. It is a hard country to hunt any thing in, however, and it is almost im possible after the game reaches the mountains. That the supreme court of Washing« ton territory had the strength and judg ment to declare against woman suffrage Isa cause for congratulation for all level headed citizens. The history of female suffrage where it has been in augurated is one of failure and disgrace to At ive to go T. be of in the 5 ^ ** e ^ h * to to be at of no to those of the fair sex who so far un sexed themselves as to make exhibitions of ignorance and coarseness on the plat form and at the polls. The history of this measure, its triumph at first, the poor way in which it worked and its total failure towards the last, are worthy the careful study of the would be Solons who are supporting like measures in other states and territories. Another frightful collision at sea is reported from the east. Over one hun dred people—men, women and children —found a watery grave in the ocean far from land, and yet this is called the age of progression and science. It seems as though it would be well for our en gineers and inventors to bend all their energies towards devices that would absolutely prevent such wholesale mur der of human beings. But as long as human hands hold the responsibility of the preservation of life, just so long will its loss occur, for carelessness will show itself even in those whose every nerve should be strained to prevent such occurrences. 1 2 1 4 1 1 1 1 . The New York World is authority for the statement that the Xew York Free Trade club has challenged the Xew York Protection league to a de bate on free trade and protection. Henry George is to represent the free trade issue and Col. Robert Ingersoll the protection side of the question. The debate will probably take place in Xew York some time in September. This will be a case of "When Greek meets Greek," but with the right on his side and his matchless flow of eloquence and command of language Colonel Ingersoll will make it a one sided debate. It will be well worth hearing, however, as Henry George is a notable exponent of the free trade doctrine. An esteemed contemporary takes the case of cotton as an argument that the wool industry should be conducted un der free trade principles. Whereas, these is the greatest possible dissimilar ity in the two staples. Cotton really needs no protection. That is to say, the industry is not nearly as dependent on protection for its prosperity as the wool industry. We export large quantities of cotton. The outside world comes to us for its cotton and we can make our own price on it, tariff or no tariff. But with wool it is an entirely different thing. A large and cheap production in other countries stares the American wool grower in the face, and the Hood of wool which would pour into this country if the tariff were removed would have a direct and disastrous ef fect upon our wool industry, as can be readily seen. Such arguments and ex amples as are used by the democratic papers in support of the free trade doc trine (all this time trying to convince the public that they are not the free trade party) are too far fetched to hold good. Let them find parallel cases and they will find that they all tend to wards the republican motto of "protec tion to home industry." In a speech made to an audience of thousands of working nien In Indianap olis General Harrison thus outlines the platform upon which the republican party will elect their president and vice president this coming fall. He says: "The purpose not to prevent American wages to be brought below the level of comfortable living and competence and hope, by competition with the pauper labor of Europe, has taken a very strong hold upon our people. And of kin to this suggestion and purpose is this other: That we will not permit this country to be made the dumping ground of foreign pauperism and crime. There are some who profess to be eager to ex clude paupers and Chinese laborers and at the same time advocate a policy that brings the American workingmen into competition with the products of cheap foreign labor. The disastrous effects upon our workingmen and working women of competition with cheap, un derpaid labor are not obviated by keep ing the cheap worker over the sea, if the product of his labor >s allowed free competition in our market. We should protect our people against the products of underpaid labor abroad as well as against the coming to our shores of paupers, laborers under contract and the Chinese. These two thoughts are twin thoughts; the same logic supports both, and the republican party holds them as the dual conclusion of one great argument." THE COUNTY CONVENTION. \s will be seen, this issue contains the call for the Park county republican convention, to be held at Livingston on Thursday, September 13,1882, at 10 a. m. The primaries for the election of delegates to this convention will be held on Monday, September 3d, in the various precincts. Forty-five delegates are entitled to at tend the county convention, and owing to the fact that it is a critical time in the history of Park county, it is hoped and expected that a full representation will be present from all the precincts. At this county convention a full ticket will he nominated to enter the field for the fall elections. This will be the first election since Park county came into ex istence and every office which is elect ive will now' have to be filled. On the basis of the last vote taken in this county, when it w as a part of Gallatin, Park county is strongly republican and will remain so. The delegates elected to attend this county convention should make up their minds to lay all preju dices and private feelings aside and nominate for these offices strong and able men, men w ho can command the support and respect of not only every republican voter in the county, but also men in whose characters the democratic party can pick no flaw s. Let our county go on record from its first vote as a place where the people are alive to the is of of of all best interests of the country as laid down in the platform of the republican party. Let the attendance at the pri maries be full and harmonious, and let good men be sent from each precinct. Every one of the merchants, cattle men, sheep men or miners in this vicinity is directly interested in the success of the republican party this fall, and as the foundation of our national politics is in the local primaries, let them take a hand and see that their influence is used to put the right men in office. They can do this if, instead of remaining passive, they will take an active interest for a few hours in the^lection of delegates to the county convention, and after they are elected see that they attend the con vention and continue the good work. THE TERRITORIAL TIVE. REl'RESENTA The time approaches w'hen it will be come necessary for the republican dele gates sent from the various counties to nominate a man for the office of repre sentative to go to Washington and ex pound the needs of this great territory to the representatives from other states and territories. That it requires a man of great force of character, of strong personality and of varied and thorough information as to the needs and re sources of Montana is a self-evident proposition. That this representative will be a republican is probable, not withstanding the democratic majority at the last election. The issues have changed and the one on which this cam paign will be fought is one on which there are no two sides for those person ally interested in the leading industries of our territory. Every one of our great enterprises in which thousands of dol lars are invested and on which the em ployment of hundreds of men at good wages depend, is deeply interested in being protected against foreign compe tition. And although having no vote unfortunately in the nation's councils, our industries, whose life almost is identified with the success of the repub lican party, can send a man to them who will place the needs of this terri tory in such a light before congress that they will compel attention. He must be a man who will not make any one section of the territory paramount in legislation. He must represent eastern as well as western Montana; the Yel lowstone as well as the Missouri valley; the mining interests as well as the stock interests, and vice versa. Who is this man on whom so important a mission will devolve? Amongst the large amount of timber that presents itself for this office we find the names of T. C. Power, the well known old timer, whose energetic busi ness qualifications have led him to be come interested in enterprises from the eastern to the western boundaries of the territory and who is a representative citizen, fully alive to all Montana's needs and capabilities. I. D. McCutch eon, long a tried and faithful worker in the republican party,handling the party reins with skillful hands and guiding it safely over many a pitfall. Andrew Burleigh, a capable and intelligent law yer, whose ringing speeches strike con viction into the hearts of his hearers, besides being the protege of eastern Montana, although now living in Ilel ena. Tom Carter, a successful lawyer and business man. who has made an especial study of the tariff and in his quiet, convincing speeches confirms his audience in the belief that he is laying down great truths. Many others there are who are not perhaps so prominently before the public for this office, but are equally as able to fully represent Montana's inter ests in a nation's councils, Chief among these is that noble war horse of the re publican party, Col. W. F. Sanders, who arouses enthusiasm for himself and the principles he represents wherever he appear« a remarkable man in any country and one who would be a worthy representative of the greatest territory in the United States. Whichever of these men is selected, they will do their country and their party honor, and it behooves the vari ous counties to send men to the terri torial convention who will select the strongest name from among the many strong names that present themselves for consideration. ^juwEie*?
