times Indicate the election Of a Democra-
tic President in 1894, and the whole
ma .hinery Of government tran sferred to
The control Of that party, it is important
t, MS as citizens, irrespective Of party,
that Montana be kept in the Democratic
column. We have no fear but such will
be the result if full cote is brought out
but apathy and indifference or fancied
security may turn the tables the other
way. We have naught to say against
the gentlemen who have been placed
forward by the Republican party, beleiy-
ing that should they be elected, they
will earnestly strive to do that which in
their judgment will be for the best inter-
ests Of the Territory, but the future OF
our Territory, its prospects for admission
as State should not at this time be
given over to the hands OF those who
will be opposed to the administration
which will certainly be in power when
we knock for admission as State Again
we fear the importance attached to this
election is not as great as it should de-
mand. Perhaps nothing has occurred in
Montana which should arouse the atten-
ton of the people any more than this.
An important step is about to be taken.
We are about to cast off the garments Of
childhood. We are about to come out
from under guardianship and take upon
ourselves the stature Of manhood. 1t is
important that we start right. 1t IS inn
portant that we select men to frame,
constitution who are free from the con-
troll Of rings and corporations, who will
endeavor to have drafted in that consti-
tuition some favored clause. Let us not
make it possible for them to own and
control us. We expect to meet great OPP
position when we ask for admission. Let
us see to it therefore that our constitu-
ton is such that it will offer no obstacle
in itself. The interests Of our Territory
are varied and men should be selected
who will be able by learning experience
and residence to become acquainted with
our resources and legislate intelligently
upon them. We should realize there
fore the importance of the election and
turn out at the polls on election day. 1t
requires but small sacrifice of time and
labor, and the occasion demands it. We
call upon the Democrats to do their duty
on that day. We owe it to ourselves, we
owe it to the party, we owe it to the flu
ture of Montana. We shall take occa-
sion to say more on this between now
and the election.

TIE commissioner of the General Land
Once has rendered decision which, if
sustained by the court Of last resort, is Of
importance to settlers upon what is now
known Is the receded part of the Crow
reservation. It has been matter Of
doubt whether the railroad right attach-
ed to the odd sections of this new do
main. So far as this decision goes it
would appear that it does not, and set
tiers can file upon odd sections as well.
Some time ago Mr.. Ben V. Clark made
application to the local land office to file
upon an odd section, which was rejected
by the local hand Office. Messrs. Vivion
4 Casterline appealed in behalf of the
applicant and the commissioner of the
land Office has reversed the decision Of
the local land Office, which, if sustained,
will throw this whole country open to
settlement under the laws of the United
States, and settlers will not be at the
mercy Of railroads.

Il can truly be said Of the gentlem,

1t can truly be said of the gentlemen
nominated by the Democratic Conven-
ton ~ candidates for the Constitutional
Convention, that they will not be con-
trolled by any ring, clique or corpora
tion. They are too thoroughly identi-
fed with Montana and its interests to
lend their aid or influence to any scheme
which is not for the public good. In say
ing this we do not mean to imply that
the nominees Of the Republican party
are, but when you know your own nom
inees are of the class who you can rely
upon, you should give them hearty
support. Come out to the polls on the
9Th of November and add your voices to
tina general uprising of the people in
favor of reform and change in the Ma
tiOnal administrations.
