partisan discussion affecting the election,
and already committed to support of the
present Territorial administration and the
bill referred to. we appeal to Mr.. Cavanaugl
as an old political fOc-the strongest of the
bonds of sympatly-to make these charges
specific, and let US into the fight. We re.

We here challenge discussion of the qucs-

basis the situation in regard to the Terri

of Governor Potts in Montana.
But We digress. Mr.. Cavanaugh in his

would take pleasure as Delegate in showing

exceptions, from any severe personal dc.

1t is said he is gaining ground in Helena

which his opponent lacks; but he has host
of able, earnest and energetic friends of
Warren Toole to contend against, and they
are supporting tho strongest nan in the
party against him. If they fail this time,
VIC concede that Cavanaugh is impregnable
in Democratic convention, for bc started q

claim Deer Lodge county, and both sides
arc warming up to the work in earnest in
this most interesting and uncxamplcd con.
