SHALL EASTERN MONTANA Re
REPRESENTED?

The Madisonian of the 14th inst. pub
fishes call. signed by all the leading mer
chants of Virginia City and Sheridan for a
meeting OF the merchants and shippers Of
Southern aid Eastern Montana. 10 be held
in Virginia City on Saturday next, 2lsi
inst. ITO consider the cheapest and most
practical route by which to ship goods
during the next freighting season." In
commenting on the proposed meeting, the
Madisonian very per,inently remarks:
''This is a very important matter. and
we hope 10 see full attendance of the
business meA of Southern and Eastern
Montana in the meeting. The unjust dis
elimination between this and other parts
OF the Territory by the railroad and trans
pOrtation companies has resulted in great
expense to the merchants and consumers
here. as well rs tedious delays in the de-
livery OF frpights. and we doubt not that
if shippers combine and conclude to pat
ronize the route Offering the best atlvan-
tages they will be able to secure much
more advantageous rates. and more
prompt attention to their interests. than
they have been favored with in the last
two years. 1t is notorious that although
the railroad terminus has been nearly one
hundred miles nealertO Virginia the great
er part of The season than in past years.
the cost of transportation has been ut least
twenty per cent. greater. while goods have
been much longer in arriving at their des-
tination. These are evils that work great
hardshps. not only upon the merchants.
but indirectly upon the consumers also.
and we. therefore. hope that the meeting |
next Saturday will be productive of effect
i've measures for their abatement"
This is.a matter of vital importance to
Eastern. as well as Southern. Montana. and
tie merchants ana shippers of Bozeman
shonld see to it that they are represented
n the meeting. We regret that the call
lOes not give sufficient time for merchants
% attend from important business points
IN the Yellowstone. unless. as is quite
some of them shall be here with
n the next day or two. But now. it
would seem. is the golden opportunity to
lllly represent the superior advantages of
he Yellowstone route over all Others for
Eastern and Southern Montana. and we
re confident that some Of orr lea ling bus
ness men are fully prepared. and will take
interest enough in the matter to see that ii
done. I;

The attempt on the part of the Eureka
SeHtiad to make it appear to the Demo-
crnts of the State that by tho renomi-
nation Of Governor Bradley they would
stultify themselves. having by its very
absurdity fallen still born. the Virginia
ChroRieie comes to the rescue with the
dreadful charge that the Governor has
appointed in Virginia. n Republican
Notary Public. This, like the Sentiaei's
objection, somehow creates the impress
sion that these Journals are straiuing
dreadfully at a gnat, after having gniped
down equal to u whole drove of camels.
At u time when a most important Demo-
cratic measure was saved from defeat
by the frmness and integrity Of the
Governor. these very strict construc-
t~ionists were found laboring earnestly
upon the other side. The plea that in
their course upon the Bullion Tax ques-
ton they violated no Democratic prin-
ciple, will not answer; it was a question
OF wealth against the people; Of wrong
against right, and while the Governor,
aided by gentlemen of both political
parties, was actively engaged in tho
work OF preventing a few m~illionaires
from absorbing a few hundred thousand
dollars belonging to the State Treasury,
these sticklers for principle" were as
actively employed in the endeavor to
further that object. Real Democracy
stands by the people, defending their
rights md protecting their interests
against INVASION from every quarter and
at all hazards, while the sham article
finds fault, sells out. and like the Phar
asec of old, thanks God that he is not
Us other men," The genuine Democrats
of the State care not should a dozen or
more Republicans DO appointed to
Notaryships; it's 3 matter of no conse-
quence; has no weight in the political
scale, and like The other objections
urged against the Governor, have been
trumpet up in the absence of any real
Of complaint.

The Sah's Boston correspondent, in
describing tho workingmen's meeting
at Faneuil Hall. says that Kearney
spoke with . freedom and a ready use
of language, emphasizing his words
with force, and sending shots home
with effect. His voice is clear aud dis
tinct, and could have been heard in n
part OF n much larger hall. He spoke
deliberately and slowly; he walked the
stage from end to end Gs though pacing
the deck OF a vessel. and when he de-
sired TO give unusual force 10 n word or
sentence, he stopped about midway, aud
elevatipg his night hand. would hurl it
with force towards the audience as
though he was throwing a stone; his
denunciation aud vehement utterauces
seemed to take the Boston laborers by
surprise. and the oaths with which he
occasionally emphasized his sentences
rarely received approval.
After Kearney had spoken 20 or 80
minutes lie failed TO sustain the enthus.
iasm that characterized his first appear
ance and it was evident the orator re-
allied that he was not on the sand lots
of San Francisco. and did not feel the
liberty of thought and action to which
he was accustomed, when hurting
epithets at the land-holders, moon. eyed,
leperous Chinese. 1t is doubtful from
the manner in which Kcarney's address,
es were received, whether lie will be

They laughed at his sharp sayings, and
his occasional dHshes of wit were mp
plGuded. His hints mt the Associated
Press, and capitalists whom ho termed

no signs of being convinced by, cspec,
inliy the intelligent portion, who would
have appreciated more an address from
their ~fayorite and accepted leader, Gen,
