PUBLICAN RULE AND DEM.
lOCRATIC RUFFTANIsm COM
a. PARED.

ous1na was q Ioul spot upon the ma
OF the Union. In the terrorism and say
aeery of border rufianism it was ~unriyall
cd. lniquity dcfed law with unblanche,
check. Decency and order had no ad
vocates and were put to an cpen shame.
Desperadocs and thieving, murderin,
clans, driven by vigilance committees ant
lynch law from Nevada and Nebraska
sought refuge and safety in the u~npeopleG
r1zces of Montana. During the war these
outlawed fugitives were strengthened b,
<ebcl sympathizcrs. skulking from con.
4 fcrIptIon in the Federal service. Under the
license of genial lawlessness and social dis
order, the faro bank, monte table, keno
den and ginshop fourished with fabulous
examinations. The knife and pistol adj
listed all disputes. Thought never scaled
The price of blood nor the value of life.
The receding waves of savage population
left intheir places a ruder, more barbar-
Gus ana degraded people. This turbu-
lence, recklessness, unrestrained liberty
and viciousness naturally harmonized and
solidifed into a Democratic party. The
Legislature was under the supremacy of
this party the United States authorities
were defied and harrassed, and a demo-
cratic Congressman was elected by those
white barbarians. Since then a most
amazing political revolution has taken
place. The majority of eighteen hundred
two years ago, has been cut down, and
now a Republican has been elected by an
excess of one thousand votes. The Terri |
tory of Montana, with the strength of a
young giant, is arising from political thrall-
dom and social debasement. Her develop
ing powers are bursting the shackles of
democratic control, and the signs of healthy
progress and solid prosperity encourage
the hope of an early emancipation. The
Pacific Railroad, one of the most active
and effective agents of modern c%iviliza-
tion-induces a decidedly different class Of
immigration. Farmers, mechanics, trades
men, and professional men are dotting the
vast plains, traversed by this International
highway, with permanent and thrifty set
Elements. The church, the school, college
and the invasion of literature are chang
ing the current of public feeling, impulse
and sentiment. A standard of citizenship !
is erected that recognizes law, order, NOR
ality and religion as the only guarantee and
surety of progress, wealth and respectable '
lily. The Northern Pacific is advancing a
its iron bands into this blooming and fer C
tile country, carrying with it the sturdy C
civilization and hardy industry of the g
States. Society is rapidly being built up a
IF intelligent and progressive communities, n
which are growing rich and powerful up i
IN honest and worthy toll. The champi- tt
ms of wickedness and lawless violence are IL
before the growing senti- il
rncn5of public homo integrity and purity, b.
they fed from Nevada and Nebraska ii
fear of lynch law and vigilance COM &C
mittees. As law, common decency, order,
and religion gained the as Of
endency, the accessions to the Republi- it,
an party became stronger and great is
in numbers, until the Democratic
arty lost the vantage ground pre-occu. j.
led by thieves, CONSUMPTION skulkers,
,arauders and murderers. These two q,
onditions, which the Territory has bitter
: and joyfully experienced, present a a,
road contrast, as damaging to the Demo
acy as it is honorable to the Republican
,rty.
1t is not strange that most of the Terri cei
ries, when they become States, enter the me
MON under Democratic auspices. This an,
rty is profoundly skillful in the art of 10,
nducting border elections, and for a time chr
esent sufficient attractions to entice float the
g votes. But a few years development ten
those fertile regions, brings in a live, tina
althy. Industrious and intelligent popu- It i
ion devoted to free principles, wise laws the
4 a good government, and a revolution nor
ceps away the loose and corrupt legis- rem
of Democratic lawmakers. Such the
s the case IN Missouri, in Iowa, Kansas, die.
Minnesota, and such will be GOO,
case with rapidly populating Montana. the
1t is a noticeable fact, that invites the matt
consideration of every intelligent plac
n, that in the strongholds of vice, law with
sness and crime, the country over, the won
party are in the ~ascendent. cam
" York City is the Gibralter of De- dea
and the Draft Riots of 1868 and SUPP
attack upon a peaceful procession of scop
h Protestants on the 18th of last July calit
ever stand a damnable and CHASTITY a su
station of the unscrupulousncss of Gam
n~ocratic power. Never, in a city un- fact
Republican control, never in a State male
er Republican administration has a of th
10 riot occurred, or a general disre- that
of law been threatened. These facts 81
full of interest and Importance, and be W
I'D be carefully studied, when called Tor II
to cast the snowy ballot. .nnn1
