The Imperialists hold II
State Convention at Colum-
bus to-day to nominate can
didates for Governor and sew
eral other State officers. Last
Saturday week a very few
leaders of the Imperial par
ty is this county met at the
Coart House and selected
VIM. Hays, j. A. FELTON,,
John Miller, and Ben. John
son as delegates to represent
the county in the Imperial
Convention at Columbus
We don't think it is necessa-
ry to send respectable men
from Vinton county to such
a mongrel convention, be-
cause they will not even be
noticed in the convention. 1t
will be controlled by a num-
Der Of bondholding, negro
suffrage big heads, who will
introduce resolutions ia, oring
negroes voting and holding
Office, and do as much other
dirty work as possiblc-in
spite Of all our Vinton county
friends can do.

Aye, Gdzettey Doughty champion of

you will find your foe on the scratch,
or in your corner. You shied your cap
into the ring long since, in your over
weening anxiety TO finger the stakes,
but bluff is not victory, or cheek an
equivalent for muscle. Your heart had
beat high ss the hour approached and
our corner was vacant. had it? Did
you chuckle with delight when you felt
the fevered blood in your veins throb-
bing painfully up 10 your temples and
believed no dexter hand would be there
to sprinkle it on the turf that lie soon
to cover you? Had you cause for such
hope from retrospection? We trow not.
1t would be well for you, if, when intes-
tine disorders are troubling you, when
the light brigade has deserted, when re-
cruits come not and Donegal is averse
to Pike, as oil is to water, there was no
enemy in the field and no tri-color to
the stake. We will accommodate you
in another way, you country husky,

and Lynn brogans.

You believe in the popular will:
That popular will has declared the so
called, Democratic party, worships false
gods. is full OF wounds and sores, and
an intolerable nuisance on the earth.
Do you suppose you can longer stuff

mend it to the griddles of Montana
Democracy as savory sausage? Or do
yeu think the practical men of your
party, with intelligence superior to
smoking corn cob pipes, can longer be
led up by their noses to the polls, to
elect officers who can do nothing for

alton. and will do nothing tor them in
Montana but impose taxesG If SO, you
