A PRETTY state OF affairs seems to ex-
list at Williams, AriZ. The business
men, representing the peaceable element
OF the town, posted up 8 notice ordering
all lawless characters to leave town by
3 O'Clock that day. Instead OF departing
the FOUNDERS posted up q similar notice
ordering the others, under penalty OF
death, to leave Immediately. At the
time Of the stages leaving the greatest
excitement prevailed, but nc ultinstum

Now that Mr.. Maginnis is going back
to congress for another term, and as his
influence is said to be all-powerful al
Washington, we desire to call his atten-
! ton once more to the urgent need Of a
mail route from Benton to Belt creek
and Sand Coulee. This county is getting
pretty we'll settled up, and the residents
thereof should have proper mail facili-
ties. Their mail, at present, has to come
to Benton and Chestnut, from twenty
five to forty-fve miles away, and they
have to depend IN some of their number
coming to town, and even then it is
sometimes many days after before they
can get their mail. Cannot Delegate
Maginnis DO something for these people,
many of whom cast their votes for him
at the recent election? They are as
much his constituents as any others, and
they are entitled to a respectful hearing
and consideration.

You thought that republican money
anne nearer to ruling it than anything
else. Ye thought that republican re-
peaters-arrested in the act-came nearer
ruling the ballot box than anything else.
Record.
1t is we'll known in Benton that there
was SO of democratic money spent
where there was 81 of republican money.
The simple fact is, the republicans did
not have it to spend. IF there were any
republicans OF demo rats-who were
guilty of repeating, and were arrested IN
the act, why were they released without
q trial? Taking the Record as authority
for their guilt. we charge the democratic
authorities of Chuteau county with q
gross neglect of duty in not taking steps
to punish these alleged repeaters.

whole section of country which Magi3-
mis- is expected to secure for us, not TO
mention the number OF families who
would be unable to secure the lnherl-
tances that will soon be open to them.
While we would like, as well AS any
others, to see the reservation thrown
open, or even curtailed, we cannot see
why there is any special occasion to give
thanks, on that account, because Magin-
mis- WAS elected. We believe that it is a
small piece of business to charge that
Mr.. Botkin would not have interested
himself in this matter as much as Major
Maginnis is expected to do. What spe-
cial interest Maginnis can have in Che
teau county that his opponent would
not have had we know not. We take
the assertion that the election of Botkin
would have caused a depreciation III
property as a direct insult on his honor
and willingness to serve the territory
which had made him its representative,
and so it will be considered by all right
minded men. It is passing sentence on
a gentlemen against whose honor no n
has a word to say, and even before he is
charged with any offence, or evidence
brought against him. AS regards the
belief that Providence ruled over the
ballot box in Montana. we never heard
Broadwater and Wilder called by that
name before. Here in Benton we
thought, or election day, that whisky
and democratic bull-dozers came nearer
ruling it than anything else. Can any
man ia Benton honestly believe that
the defeat of Messrs. Rowe, Hill; Cling
an, Browne, or Of Messrs. Sullivan and
McIntire, was a narrow escape ROM any
great misfortune? Two years from now
the republican party in this county will
eject some, if net all, of the county Of
fcers, and Mr.. Botkin will probably be
our representative to Congress. The
falsity of the Records argument will
then be proven, and Montana and Cho-
teau county, relieved from the weight
Of monopoly rule, will march onward to
wealth and prosperity such as they have
never yet known.

subject of Canadian independence
is becoming a lively topic of discussion
across the border. The Toronto World,
adverting to the fact that the population
of the Dominion is now drawing close
to 100000, and will, within the next
twenty years, be equal to the population
ofGreat Britain, declares that ''hence-
forth Canadian independence will be
one of our political questions. It will
have its party, and will have it's candi-
dates, and in the near future will have
its government. We need not say how

and throw the people Of Montana off the
tract, they are making charges as crimi-
nal as they are reckless. But it will not
work. The matter may not go into the

A few days after election the republi-
can organ in Benton said that the cleo
ton here was a fitting lesson o. 1ebuke
to the would-be republican bosses. In a
later issue, two days, we believe, that
same sheet said that the election Of Bot
kin would not be a victory 1or repubii-
canisln. Query: having iaiIed in the
''boss'' system Of attack upon the demo-
cratic candidates, does the PRESS think
il has an easy subject Of bl.ckmail in
the gentleman who assumed the leader
ship of the Republican party in this
,county?-Rec0rd.
You are entirely "of' in your first
assertion, as you generally are. If you
can reproduce an article from this paper
which said the election here was q re-
buFe % anyone, we ask you to do SO.
As for the second sentence, at the time
the article was written the returns were
not all in. and we thought Botkin's I'M
deniable legitimate majority was due
more to the work Of honorable demo-
Gratis than to the republican strength,
and did not believe the territory was
republican. But we do now, and be-
lieye that on a strict and fair party vote
it would SO be found. At the same time
we do not wish to detract enc iota from
the credit due those an democrats
who, in the interest Of their country,
voted for Mr.. Botkin, and helped to
swell his majority.
With regard to the i%nsinuation of at
tempted hlackmail, it is on a par with
the general conduct of the man who tries
to injure the business Of every n who
| does not advertise in his excus for q
newspaper. No gentleman that we
know OF has assumed, or eve attempted
to assume, the leadership Of the repub-
lican party in Choteau county.
Query: Can anyone see any connec-
ton between the three sentences in the
Record article, or any sense in the en-
tire,iumble Of words?

THE INDEPENDENT makes the claim
that q band Of 05 British half-breeds
voted for Botkin at Reedsfort. AS Mr..
Botkin received exactly 20 votes there,
this is equivalent to saying that there
are only five white republicans in that
precinct. If the Independent is correct,
e British half-breeds voted for Johnson,
49 for Stuart Sam Hauser's partner, and
the man who accused them of shooting
his ~cattle), AZ for Atchison, A for Cam
eron, d for McClintock, As for Howell,
43 for Murray, 81 for Berkins, 81 for Tip
ten, SO for Wight, and 81 for Lapalme-
all democrats, and most Of them entire
strangers-giving them a big majority
in every instance, and thus, in the lam
guage of the Independent, "overturning
the legitimate majorities.o The fact is,
the Independent man knows, probably,
less about the Judith country than any
other section OF Montana. Reedsfort
precinct is democratic, but the people IN
that section. who are near Fort Magin-
MS, do not like BroadWater, and his un-
derstood interest in the present delegate
caused many Of them to vote for Botkin.
On the other candidates they voted ac-
cording to their party sympathy. This
is the whole case, and it, attempt to
make T. &. Power q central figure in the
picture will not succeed.
