ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.

Two or three weeks since we looked over
the political field Of Montana, mentioning
the names of those prominently named for
the Delegateship nomination in each party.
We then expressed belief that the majority
Of the Democratic party were opposed to
the denomination of Mr. Csvanaugh, but
that this opposition was unorganized. and
his chances were best. We were partly in
error. We believe now that the movement
was in progress which few days since de.

cited to becomc, and agreed to become, a
candidate before the Democratic Conven.
ton for Delegate to Congress. This action
has since been endorsed by large majority
of the leading Democrats Of Deer Lodge.
and the Independent has hoisted his name
as its candidate before the Convention. All
this came suddenly and startlingly upon the
masses, but it is not fair to infer that it was
the work of o day. The men who are doing
this make their brick before they build
houses
The opposition to Mr.. Cavanaugh is now
we'll organized, and, save perhaps in Madi.
son and Gallatin, is concentrated on Mr..
Lodge county, made by the Democratic
Committee yesterday, Mr.. Too!c will prop.
ably have y majority of six to ten delegates
in the County Convcntion-enough to carry
resolution of instruction for solid vote
in his favor in Territorial Convention.

dates, and will likely he close The Madi-
son delegation will como over with candi.
date of their own. or the Cavanaugh men
will rule it. If Gallatin has no candidate,
the delegation will be for Too!c. Missoula
is IN doubt, and hard work will be done for
both candidates. Beayerhead is counted for
CsvansIgh. Mr.: Toolc's friends are san
guine of his nomination: Cavanaugh's are
taken by surprise. They have not had time
to communicate with their Chief since his
return, and are somewhat taken aback by
this sudden combination against him. 1t
looks to US that Mr.. Cavanaugh is beat on
the start, but the general sentiment of this
community may impress US beyond the
facts. 1t is not Mr.. Cavanaugh's nature to
kncel to the blow, If it impended. There
is considerable Ajax in his composition, and
he now has more need for all the shrewd.
ness, defiant energy, and industry that has
been accredited to him, than ever he had
before. 1t will be the most stirring Con-
vcntion ever held in the Territory. We
would not be surprised if it should result in
the selection of compromise candidate,
whose name has either been unmcntioned
a. yet, or forgotten in the all absorbing
topic of Toole and Cavanaugh. Mr.. G. will
open the campaign in his response to
serenade at the Theatre in Helena tonight,
indicating probably the character of the
contest, and from then unit il the Convention
there will be q season of button .holing fear.
