Political POINTERS.

MT. JOIN Euuy WISHES DIS udlut
dropped from the Democratic ticket
as a candidate for Justice of the
Peace. 1t is dropped.
The Yellowstone country is almost
q unit for J. K. Toole for delegate tC
Congress.
We are informed it was Mr.. Bel
more, a lifelong Republican, who
made the remark in the Centerville
meeting that he had worked with
the Republican party for twenty
years and now left it on account OF
its corruption. Inter Mountain,
please copy. Don't burn this.
We would advise our evening CO.
temporary not to monkey with cpl
thets in this campaign. But if it
should conclude to perspire in them
we caution it to use great care in
selecting the words in that field of
literature. "Asinine" is a mild ad-
jective, but the AnterMountai's scribe
should crop his ears and pare his
hoofs before he don't the lions skin.
The bray of the ass is as easily de-
tected from the editorial chair as it is
under the pack-saddle.
1t is very generally conceded that
the Democrats of Silver Bow county
have placed in nomination one of the
strongest tickets ever presented for
the suffrages of the voters Of this
county. The candidates, singly and
collectively. were chosen with view
to their character and fitness for the
position for which they are named.
Not a word can be urged against a
single nominee upon the ticket.
Each eminently deserves the undi-
vided support of Democrats, and
with that support the whole ticket
will be triumphantly elected the 4th
of next month.
hir. Toole will be elected delegate
to Congress the 4tn of next month.
The constitution of the State of Mon
tana will be adopted by the people
the same day. The Democratic
House of Representatives will favor
the admission of Montana as State.
Mr.. Toole will not take his seat in
Congress until after the 4th of March
next. He will not oppose the ad-
mission of Montana. He voted in
favor of the adoption of the coDstitu-
ton in the Constitutional conven-
ton. These facts answer the Inter
Mountain's objections to Mr.. Toole.
The Independents Of the 7th inst.
exposes the dilemma in which the
Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee finds itself as follows: "The
Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee aud the various county CEN
trail committees are awaking to the
fact that they are in the predica-
ment of the man who drew the ele-
phant. They have drawn an ele-
phant and they are puzzled what to do
with him-I mean their candidate
for Congress with his marked Pc
culiarlties as a stump speaker. They
have suddenly rendered that he is
and dull. This is thing
which will not take with crowd
and his managers are just now Won
dering what in the name of sin they
are going to do about it. They are
understood to be hesitatlng between
two courses-to lock him up in
proof safe until after the
election, or to get up some patent
thing for choking him off at the
proper time"
A DECLINATION.
The following from Mr.. John Eddy
explains itself. The Democratic Gen.
tral committee accepts his declina-
ton:

DEAR SIR:-I have never looked
