riot, Of Cuba, N. Y, publishes the
names of over one hundred homest and
reliable Democrats who have recently
joined a Grant and Wilson club at
Wellsville, Allegheny county, N. Y.
The Democrats Of old Allegheny can't
swallow Horace. They are not so far
lost to a sense of justice as to accept
"auything to beat Grant," They be.
lieve Grants Administration has been
honest, aud hat the best interests Of
the nation require the defeat of the
Greeley movement. For this reason
they have come out openly in favor OF
the tried soldier and patriot. If the

be, New York will give n Of its old.

GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSON, ex-con-

" AS Mr.. Greeley has been nominated
by our party l sincerely hope every
Democrat will vote for him."
That's it! Ow party. How is it:
then, Mcssrs. Liberalization Republi-
cans, that you entrcat and urge that
Horace Greeley, having never been
anything but a Republican, all Repub-
licans should vote for him, and argue
that, Of course, Democrats will vote for
General Grant because he was always
u Democrat? 1t will not do.
The Democrats are welcome to Mr..
Greeley, if they can swallow one made
up Of 30 many contrary beliefs and
isms, but tho Republican party feel
safe in following the leader, who, bring
ing to a safe end the attempt to destroy
our Union, has enforced the laws, and
made the authority and flag Of the
United States respected. The friends
Of Mr.. Greeley are chiefly those who
attemted their overthrow, and see in
his election only another can to at

THE new YEAR.-The advent of 1872 was
made known to the denizens Of Bozeman BY
the firing Of guns and other boisterous de-
monstrations. The day daWned rather mild

year; but the weather changed into the four
seasons before night. Many Of orr citizens
were prepared to entertain their friends, and
from the number Of sleighs flying around we
Judge callers were numerously In attendance.
We acknowledge several friendly calls, and
CHEEKY greetings, the most substantial being
from our esteemed friend and worthy fellow
citizen, Mr.. Anderson. whose appreciative
mind and generous soul are among the many
good and possible things we come across i'll

remarkably scarce now. Our farmers raised
unusually large crops last season from thu

The motto Of the friends of education
should be excelsior and they should
never rest contented until their efforts have
achieved perfect school system. All their
energies should be exerted to accomplish
this end, and in public and private no stone
ought to be left untouched that will in the
least degree conduce to the elevation OF the
common school. Much has been done, but
It only shows the necessity for more, and to
the end that teachers OF the county may not
DC behind the times. think It would be well
for them to keep pace with the spirit OF the
age and be ready to seize upon every appor-
unity which is presented to them OF making
themselves acquainted with the IDEAS of the
professionally forming ali observation-disclosures
whose influences the good teacher may be-
come better, and the poor one have q chance
to improve. Many or orr teachers are anX-
ious to see an institution Of this kind started,
for they appreciate the fact that It will tend
to intereet the best educational talent in the
country in our common schools, and to de-
velop better class of teachers than we have

school directors, upon whom devoives the
task Of selecting Instructors tor the schools

know that many Of those WHO apply to them
for the situation Of teacher are in no way

are. compelled to hire them because they
know Of none other. The association Of the
teachers would be remedy for this state OF
affairs. All the teachers names and resi-

TO send word to the President Of the Society

friends Of education some time during the
present winter, that measures may bs taken
to form and perfect an association. Once get

not fail to prove successful. This is matter
OF paramount Importance. and appeals at
once to all parents, for, as is the teacher, SO
is the pupil. Then let us have some concert
of action IN this matter, and | am sure II it
