1" MONTANA POLITICS.


Last week we devoted a column to
this question. Its Importance demands
a fuller discussion. We are satisfied
that tlree-foulths of the citizens OF
Montana entertain the opinions ex-
pressed in the article. They are tired
of the scheming Of party leaders and
tricksters. The theatre in which these
tricks have been played most success
fully has been in party conventions.
The convention system has proven
rotten to the core, and has become the
nest of all manner of corruptions. All
good men avoid them, and" are not
found there as Delegates. Conventions
are generally filled up with office-seek-
crs and men who barter away for filthy
lucre their votes. This is fact. so
notorious, as having occurred in all the
conventions held for Delegate in Con.
gress since this has been Territory
that requires no production of proof.
Selling out has been the order Of the
day. Do the good people of Montana
desire the continuance of such sys-
tenn : We know that they condemn it.
Then it is their duty to oppose every
candidate presented by party con-
vention. For our part we do not in
tend to participate in either Demo
cratic or Republican convention. nor
do we feel willing to cast our suffrage
for the candidates of either party thus
nominated. In this feeling we are
satisfied large and overwhelming
majority of the voters OF Montana
concur. The people, if they desire to
be free from party cliques and cheat
ing. must come out in every district
and give expression to their views, and
by concert of action they can put good
men into Office on the first Monday in
August next. We know Of large
number of gentlemen of commanding
talents and whose interests arc identi-
fed with the business of the Territory
who have expressed themselves in ia
vor Of reform and opposed to party
conventions. These men have invested
their means largely in efforts to de-
vclop our resources, and they are de-
tcrlnined to be 10 longer controlled by
men that do rot understand legislative
business. They desire to put compc-
tent and honest men in Office, who will
truly represent thair CONSTITUENTS anu
a day as possible. INC c6IanH1,v T-.
COURIER will very chcerislly be at the
disposal Of the friends of reform. ana
we shall be pleased to publish commu-
nications from those who may be will |
l'g to write on this subject, and to
publish proceedings of meetings.

YELLOWSTONE EXPEDITION.
FINAL REPORT.
To Hon. John p. Bruce

To Hon. John p. Bruce:
SIR-In January last it was deter
mined to send an expedition into thu
lower country, to explore and prospect
it, to locate a stockade and settlement
if possible, and to survey aid estab
lish q wagon road from Bozeman t.
the head of navigation of the Yellow
stone river.
With these ends in view meeting
was held and an organization effected
as follows:
Presidemt-HoN. JOHN p. BRUCE.
ISec'y and Tseas.-J. v. BOGERT.
Executive Committee.
John p. Bruce, L. S. Wilson, J. v.
Bogert, T. C. Burns, N. Story, Fl. n.
Mcguire, d. II. Carpenter, G. L. Clark,
s. W. Lmghorne, w. L. Perkins, w.
Cooper, Charles Rich, S. B. Bowen.
This Committee was instructed to
prepare Articles of Agreement binding
upon all who should join both the As
ISOLATION and the Expedition-to select
an Expedition corps of officers, Coun-
ell ami Secretary-and generally to
manage the affairs of the Association.
It Immediately began its labors-
held public meetings over the county
issued and distributed circulars stating
the objects in view-called for men and
supplies appointed local committees,
and in all possible ways devoted itself
to the success of the undertaking.
The long-standing desire of many to
penetrate the country aimed at, on
account of the general belief in its
mineral and agricultural advantages,
the depressed condition Of all our To-
cal business interests, and the hope
that the opening of the lower country,
the establishment of the wagon road,
and probable gold discoveries, would
encourage emigration and railroad and
steamer advances, brought success to
the effort; and on the 10Th Of Febru-
airy 80 men, well outlitted for the ven
ture, reported at Quinn's, in readiness
to begin the march into the Sioux
country.

TIE VERNON COMMAND.

ously decamped and was at last &C
counts on his way down the Missouri
His conduct can be explained but up
Oh the basis Of his probable partial
lunacy.
1t should be added that only part
of the Committee or Association ever
placed any confidence in his claim to
gold discoveries, and that the Wagon
Road Expedition idea was not sue-
gested by him 6r the excitement he
raised; while, had not a part of it been
urged into the movement by his prom
ises, and been consequently dlscour-
aged by his desertion, different re-
suit might have attended the venture
than must be recorded, as many of the
Command were actuated solely by the
desire to explore the Vernon country.
Without the Vernon idea, it must be
admitted, the departure Of the Expe-
dltion would have been delayed; but
it is as certain that most, if not all.
the men who did go would have gone
eventually anyway and relieved of the
Vernon incubus.
