The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1873-07-12

oid votc Tor the outrage, voted u upon
counties whose members were opposed
thereto: voted II against the known wishes
OF nearly every taxpayer in Deer Lodge
county, and against the expressed wishes
and earnest entseaay of many of the best
men of Deer Lodge, eAoss espsessioS Mev
fret so!icited, and whom they now seek to
place in the attitude of clique We can
prove and publish numerous kilograms, If
necessary, from four At least, and We believe
from oil five of the members, 70 different gen.
tlcmcn of Deer Lodge. asking how they
should vote. We can prove and publish, If
necessary, the responses to these telegrams,
In every instance entres.ing or urging them
by every consideration Of principle, intcg.
rity ard regard for the welfare of Montana,
to vote against subsidy in any form, under
oil circumstances, and every time. We
merely do not wish to publish them out Of
consideration for those members, who We
believed then and belicyc now voted - they
did more from error of judgment and lack
Of comprehension of the situation and what
was involved In their action, than from any
intent to identify themselves with the Sub.
sidy Ring or misreprcsent their constituents.
We submit here, however On

We arc therefore, forced to the conclusion that tho
clique Of Republican politicians Of Deer Lodge -.
Stunning to dictate mot only to the Republicans Of the
county, but to the Territory, prcsuming upon their
superior Intelligence (D propose to hold the Denoza-
accountable for every act rot in accordance with
their pet views whether the came be done for the
best interest Of the people or not and crush every
Republican who shows disposition to act ipdepcnd-
entity OF clique dictaton, write the card referred
70, and signed the names of Jefferson members by
| proxy.
ExTRAcf From AIXRH, DEAN AND KBRLBYS CARD.
There 10 little reason to doubt that the card WAS
gotten up by little clique Of Republican politi.
clans in Deer Lodge who arc trying 70 run not only
the politics Of this county but Of the whole Territory.
and then sent to Jefferson county for signaturs-if
signed at all by the Jefferson member.
These ore all the points urged against
Deer Lodgers, the other portions referring
to members from other counties, who ore
sbundantly able to take caro- of themselves.
In 80 far % relates to that jefferson county
card having been unsigned, or signed BY
proxy here, ~ they. apparently seek to con-
vey, We pronounce It IN pnmitigatsd lie.
We have the original letter In our possess
sion, signed - it came 10 this Office under
seal from Rsdersburg, and no Republican
or Democrat In Deer Lodge county, save
the employees and publisher OF this paper
ever saw It until after it had been published
In the New NORTH WEST. II any man
knows sught to the contrary of this, let him
stand forth and ny 1t. And now, for Tho
satisfaction Of those who may have been
mIsled by the statement above, 40 to who
denounced the action Of those members and
asked statement from them in explanation
of their course, We submit the following
letter, which was handed to them on their
return here:
