THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.

With the meeting of the Democratic Cen
tral Committee to assemble to-day the fal
campaign may be said to open. The element
of personal interest, to come into play as seor
as the nominations are made, is as vet lack
ing; but with the call for the primaries it il
not too soon to begin the actiys work OF the
campaign. This year, when We have the as
surance amounting almost TO certainty thai
the democracy is to achieve national victor!
| it is of vital i'm, ,Iortance to the welfare o.
Montana that the party maintain its ascend
aacy here. With our party coming into pow
er flushed with victory and while the hap
PLY delivered sta es and territories should be
| plumng themselves on the triumph achieved
| and yying with one another in d c0mpariso
Of their respective merits in the way of hav
ing contributed towards that triumph,it oulo
never do TO have Montana, the candidate t'l
| statehood, branded with the stigma of treason
| to its democracy, aud that in the very hour OF
| democratic success. If we wish to see Mon
tana admittei to the Union within few
| wears; If We wish t. see her enrslled in the
sisterhood of states, there to receive the con-
SideratiOn that her imperial domain and
ntatchless resources deserve, we must see IT,
It that politically the territory will be
in accord with the federal administration to
he elected next November Unless the pre-
dictions of the snrewd dest sbservers-unless
all signs pass for nothing, that adminisira
ton will bs formed under Hancock, the dem
ocratic president. a due regard for our owl,
interests, then. as well as the suggestions OF
party preferences or the guidance of princ-
pie, prompts the democrats Of Montana to
united and earnest effort, to extra endeavor
and untirins zeal in the opening campaign.
The best method of rendering the required
service will be the selection of an unobjec-
tionablt county ticket; a vigorous canvass by
all the nominees III Its support, and the ut
most fairness in caucuses and primaries to
The end that the wishes Of The majority may
really be expressed. Each candidate, in n,ali-
ing a tour OF the county, should work not
only in his own Interest but for the ticket
entire, and thus, by strengthening the party
while plrd-iA. his flienus, make 4 tWo-fo d
gain Of strength. Primaries tairlv eonductd d
during hours previously announced will be
accepted as truly representative bodies,
whe her they call out full vote or not. IT,
proceedings of their del e-;ales in county con-
senliUn will be accepted as all expression of
he party's Wishes and the further choice of
delegate TO congress will comma 1T all un-
broken party vote. All that We need is cood
work and fair play. that nothing resemble c
d ssat sfacilon may be occasioned, to Ie d
secure the election of every nominee from
tie head to the foot of the ticket.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Cincinnati Is a drtier city than Chicago,
but it gave the country the cleanest ticket.
Even ths Washington Republican admits
that there is talk among the government de-
partments of forming Hancock clubs.
Each one of the four presidential candi-
dates is over six feet high and weighs over
$50 pounds, and each man is in the best OF
health.
During the war Hancock's march forth
meant hard fighting, but his coming March
4th will mean peace and quietnesS TO the en-
tire country.
Grier who voted first, last and all the time
for Garfield at Chicago, was sersnaded by
brass band at Easton, Pa. If Garfield can
help him Grier is sure to be gauger.
When an Ohio man gets into the woods for
| a couple oi days, on a fishing excursion, the
first question he asks Oh his return is this :
"Have bsen nominated for any office while
l was gone"'

| last two years in congress in trying TO starve
the army, and now they nominate major
general on the active list as their candidate

Outside OF Ohio that state is generally con-
ceded to the republicans, but the Buckeye

hundred thousand it pours into the coun-

and fertile lands to be had in the South.
these new corners do not seek them. The
census statistics of Alabama. lately pub

en- as fairly illustrative of the insig-

Batler county, tor example, has but so

county but % out Of 1881; Coffee but 2

for thought in such figures rs these. I'm

of the country and those only in which
freedom is something more than name.
