PREPARE FOR ACTION.

Now that the nominations are nearly
all made, and only three weeks remain
before the election, it is imperatively
necessary to success that immediate
and thorough organization of the Union
party should be had in every county and
precinct. Organize at once, discuss the
question of the campaign among your.
selves, and solicit speakers from abroad.
Count the opposition, count your own
strength, and make out the list in writ
ling. Ascertain every voter in the pre-
cinct, and what are his sentiments. If
he is right, set him to work, if wrong,
convert him. Make domestic mission
airy out of every Union man, and give
him for his task the salvation of one mis-
guided, erring Democrat. Persistent
personal effort accomplishes more than
public speeches, in changing votes.
Avoid abusive epithets; many of our
opponents are sincere and believe they are
right. Convince by reason; man is not
necessarily fool or a william because he
differs from you on political questions.
If you know you are right, you can show
cause for the faith that is in you. Be
industrious and persistent. labor un-
remitingly. 1t is the continued dropping
that wears away the rock. Let the drop
ings of truth fall on the crust of preiu-
dice around the hearts of our opponents,
and hundreds of them will come over
and be with US. Only three weeks TO
prepare, day to fight, and an eternity
of rejoicing if you do your duty. Address
solicitations for speakers to G. M Pinney
Helena, or Col. F. c, Deimling, Virginia.

CONTEMPORARY NOTICES.

Our neighbors occasionally favor us
with notices of the Posi-. They vary
delightfully."- from good healthy abuse to
gracious charity for shortcomings and
full credit for all merits. We have been
asked why we do not republish compli-
ments. First, because we believe a de-
mandatory article is more benefit to a
paper than complimentary one, and
these are too frequent and voluminous
to reprint. Second, notices in a coten1-
porary reach those who do not read this
paper, and have effect Third, if reap
pearing in this paper they would only
reach those who have ample opportunity
to form their own opinions If they are
not able to form them they are not worth
angling for. Fourth, ifit is true that ''he
who bloweth not his own horn the horn of
the same shall not be blown" we are in
favor of marching through life without
music. Fifth, people do not generally
admire those individuals who button
hole them on every possible occasion to
retail their own virtues, either first or
second handed, and in this respect there
is little difference between newspapers
and individuals. So, extending our inky
hand to all the fraternity, we thank you,
andpropose, "vive la honest opinion. -

"THE WINDING wAY.~

Did you ever notice a paper called the
Montana Democrat 1t is a model of
consistent assertions. Read how badly
the Democratic press treated it.
The Gazette seems determined to place US
IN n false position, on every question, by mis-
sentation.-Democrat, February 2S, 1867.
And then the Radical" paper throws
dirt" We quote from memory, but will
publish Uer6Gtim if desirable.
The Herald's article of the lIth is the
meanest instance of editorial perversion we
have met with In forty years the
editor has shown himself a veritable ass, and
exhibited none of the attributes of gentle
man or fair-minded adversary. He has
used a contemplate mode of misrepresenta-
tion.-Democrat. April 25. 1867.
And then we put our foot in it.
In all our experience in the newspaper
business we have never known a contemporary
take so mean an advantage (as the PosT).-
Democrat, April 3, 1861.
About this time the editor feels bad.
Although the Republican party has always
been in the minority in Montana, yet we ven-
ture the assertion that the Montana PosT and
Helena Herald have four times as many sub
scribers as the Gazette and Democrat. So far
as the Democrat is concerned, we can say if ii
had not been for the public printing, the
patronage to our paper would never have paid
the expenses of running The De
mocracy has in all elections shown double the
numbers of the Republicans, and it is a cry
ing shame they do not support their party
papers.-Democrat, March IA, 1867.
And now he tries to make us feel bad
We venture the assertion that the pro-
prietors (of the PosT) have not made dollar
of clear money since the day the Montana
Democrat first appeared.-Democrat, August
3, 1867.
Here he humiliates.
We have never had in this county five Re
| publican subscribers, and at no time did W,
| have on our books subscribers, ten Radicals
Democrat, July 27, 1867
And again bloviates.
| The Democrat circulates all over Montana
and is more generally read than any othe
paper.-Democrat, August 3, 1867.
He evidently believes in remission o
sin, goes it blind. and trusts to Provi
dence. Good luck

liability it will ever be adopted, simply
because an army of cormorants have too
much money to permit their feast of fat
things to be swept away. That is the
key to the mysteriously ingenious mis-
management of Indian affairs. We move
for an Investigating Committee, and
nominate Col. Chivington and Gen. Pat.
e. Connor. Turn about is fair play.
