the REPUBLIC.fN NOMINEES.


The action of the Republican Gen.
trail Committee, in the selection of
Messrs. Charles W. Savage aud A. I.
Campbell, cannot he too highly COM
mended. As the ticket now stands ii
is Incompatible, and in its entirety
comprises the highest and most salts
factory exponcuis of republican princi-
piles in Custer county. Mr.. Andrew
=. Burleigh, who heads the ticket, is "a
;oung man of more than ordinary
ability, who has already made his
mark in his profession. He Is free
and able debater, with all the anibi-
lion of u young man mark the con-
atitution OF the future state of Montana
With some wise and expedient meas
IRE that will in the future Of the COM
rnonwealtb be worthy Of reference by
nimself and his friends. Col. &. II.
Gould, next on the ticket, Is q life
long republican, who scaled his allie
glance to the party on the red fields OF
The war of the rebellion. Ever consist
mt in his allegiance to the old party,
ue stands to-day the most pronounced
republican in the party, in recognition
If which he was recently, on the res
,gnation of Judge Strevell, elected
chairman of the republican central
committee OF Custer county. Charles
". Savage, the next on the ticket,
needs no introduction to the citizens
NJ our county. Like Col. Gould, he
did yeoman service for his country in
the hour of its direst need, battling for
the honor of the old flag under the
blue standard of the gallant old First
Minnesota, one of the historical regi-
inents Of the army. He has been
among US ever since Custer county had
= name, and Is so well and favorably
known to all, irrespective Of party,
that 1t il only necessary to make
known his candidacy to secure
him the largest individual vote that
will be polled. Mr.. A. T. Campbell,
the remaining nominee on the ticket,
Is as well known throughout the
length aud breadth of the county as is
Nr. Savage. During the palmy days
pf buffalo hunting he was known ~
the leading hids-buyer, and the hunt
ers and traders Of those days cannot
fail TO remember how absolutely and
To the letter his contracts were fulfill
III. For the past year he has bean ell
aged in business in Miles City, aud
his house to-day ranks as the leading
one In its line. As a whole and in de-
all no better selection could have
been made to represent Custer county
Il Helena, and lis citizens can do them
selves andihe county no greater honor
han to send them there. It was only
~ the most urgent solicitation that
they consented 10 the use of their
names, aud the republicans must see to
{ that they are honored, not only with
m election, but with n large compli-
nentary majority. There IL nothing
~ the office, not even per diem; and
u was the wish Of many that party
lines might have been subordinated to
The main question Of sending able men
10 the convention, but, as this desire
has failed and there are two and per
laps three tickets In the field, IL has
become the positive duty Of every re-
publican to stand by the ticket which
Int party has put in the field, not
mly because Of this election, but for
he future. We must show by our
vote po'led Mt this election that we IRE
" h,,tor in the affairs OF Custer county,
md no inconsiierRtlc one ut that.
