magogues, and. although it is. endorsed b,
two of as amiablc, honest and clever gen
tlemen as Montana afIrds, to wit: Granyill,
stuart and Filis B. Miller, we still repeat i
isenly worthy o! demagogues, and we re
gret that two such excellent men should Sc
fall from grace as to be dupsd into an act
eospnworthy OF their previous high record
This is no idle praise of Granville Stuart anl
Finfs Ii MILLER. We have known them lone
and wcfi, and have had for them sincere re-
spect and friendship, and know they have al
ways been good and true men. but the an

have become blinded to the true interests o
Montana and their own, We. like them. al.

made in this circular IS to prcjudice the peo-
