POLITICAL GOSSIP

Il POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The TR1suxs being In Independent inc

keep the people posted on current po!itica
points, and hence little OF the poiitica
gossip circulating, ~ well a. that which !
not In circulation, will be found to be read
able at the present time.
The Glendale politicians have manifesses
m extraordinary interest IN their effbrts 4

lions called at that town, where the smoke
from the Hecla stacks, 1t is thought, woult
darken and totally eclipse the dark trick
usually performed ut "noininating enter
tainment" J..
i It ID expected that the Central Commit
tees Of the Democrats and Republican
| will be called together soon to open the bat
tie in Beaverhead by providing for holding
the primaries and BY fixing the time anc
selecting the place for holding both county
conventions. The ,precinct or prisnar.
meetings will be the preliminary struggle
between the candidates who are anxtOus q
serve the people solely for the peoples
good.
The candidates are numerous and II moi
strictly honest 1t IL because they graduated
At Sunday Schools too early In life-or, be.
| cause they have since become contanina-
ted by mixing too promiscuously with the
wicked Of the world. Anyhow, pious or
wicked, honest q dishonest, there will be
no lack Of candidates this year.
The men Of Horse Prairie arc, modest

virtue they make no bones about announc-
ing that timber for making County Com
missioners grows on that grassy creek. 1t
10 either Of the BROWN Bachelor or Of the
Graster- Barrett quality, and IL suited to the
Republican or Democratic ticket, Is the
case may be. The Horse Prairie article Of.

Bannack and 'Hecla City are presenting
the most conspicuous candidates for Shet-
cratic tone which the Republicans will en-
deavor to neutralize BY trotting out their
strongest man when the atspici0us time ar.
rives. II has ever been thus with the Re.
publicans Of Beaverhead County.
,T- Glendale, Il seems, hae put forward, thus
hs, the only candidate fnr the nomination
for Probate Judge. It Il one Of those
Thomas cat-like moves that b liable to be
. Republican success unless the Democrats
counter act It By putting an unterrified
nominee Of popularity before the people,
"A Dillon Democrat, 90 far - the returns
have been received, il running At s:3o
gait for Clerk and Recorder, with Glen.
dale man pulling up on the home.stretch
with doubtful chances. Several Republi.
cauA "who can WRITE" are mentioned, but
we hear Of no Republican making an &C.
tive canvass for the nomination.
Men like to handle money. The candi-
dates for Treasurer will come from differ;
ent sections Of, the county. Glendale Is In the
lead for the nomination, BY both parties,
With candidates for Treasurer. The probable.
tiles are that nominees will come from that
Quaster.
A lively skirmish has been inaugurated
for the Office Of Assessor. Two Democrats
are out, and to Judge by appearances, the
longest pole will knock the persimmons
down. A Lion City man and Dillon in.
nocent are talked Of on the Republican
side. The fight, both before and after the
conventions, promises to be pretty hot.
! For Legislative Thonors the Dillon and
Glendale doctors, and also the Glendale
and Dillon lawyers, are frequently alluded
TO az l,eing possible and probable candi.
dates. Added to these number Of edisca.
ted ranchmen are spoken Of In 4 compli.
mentary and cosby way IN connection
with seats In the Congress Of Montana.
The Office Of School Superintendent,
several years ago, waa considered If no ac-
count, and In those days common plugs
were put on both Tickets, more to fiil up
the space on the ballots than for any useful
purpose. Times change and a few years
works wonders In q new country like Mon.
tana, Of which Beaverhead County Is a
prosperous part. The large and constantly
increasing number Of handsome and cultur.
ed schoolmarms In the county will neces-
state the selection Of genteel and educated
men to run for School Superintendent.
Some ciphering 10 now going on In both
Of the political parties to find men Of this
character, and before the conventions a..
semble It is confidently expected that nice
candidates for School Superintendent will
be found somewhere In the county.
The present indications are that the Of
ice Of Coroner will no begging. "Gassy
Toms" numerous friends cannot prevail Of,
that gentleman to stand for Coroner any
more, for, although he never flinched be.
fore the rebel fire at Gettysburg, he posi-.
lively declines another contest with the
BaDnack butcher. Our information In re.

before the campaign closes.
| Taking non. partixan view of the poll.
teal situation IN Beaverhead County In the
tncipient stages Of the campaign, Il Is evil
dent that tickets will be 90 shaped that the
full party strength will be brought out at
the fall election for each ticket. The Dem.
oerats, At present, have no large majority
over the Republicans in the county, and
hence the approaching political fight will
be lively and close.
