STILL ANOTHER WAR CRY
What the Republicans Of this
County Want.
To the Editor of the MINER.

10 the Editor OF the MINER.
have been somewhat amused at
the course taken by the Inter Noun
tai,. over couple of articles that ap-
peared in your paper coming, I sup
pose. from Republican pens. That
journal is apparently quite excited
and proposes to read "anti-dog col
la's' and all "kickers" and "trai
tars" out of the party, while their
whoops about disloyalty is perfectly
furious. One might be led to ask a
question->-in fact several questions.
And first 1T might enlighten a few
Republicans hereabouts to know who
that journal terms the Republican
party? Is it the quill driver of that
Journal whose labored editorials ap.
pear daily upon political subjects, or
is it any one Of the triumvirate seek
ing political honors Of the party
whose political sagacity is required in
the selection of a Presidential can-
didate at Chicago by the National
Republican convention? What
would become of the Republican
party of this county provided the
people should do just as they pleased
about it and say that they neither re-
quired the suggestions of the Inter
Mountain scribe, or that if any
clique or boss in this matter and could
get along quite as well without
either?
Suppose the Republicans of Silver
Bow county will not wear dog collars
or support any man who has or ever
had dog collar symptoms? Then
what will the dog collar sheet do
about it. and what are the boss dog.
collar men going to do about it? Sup
pose the Republicans of Silver Bow
should allow such gentlemen seeking
a seat in the Chicago Convention. to
stay at home to attend to their own
private business what terrible
breach would be made in the party;
and in such a contingency who would
be Tread out of the party?" Would
anybody leave the party under any
such contingencies? II they should
we would be in favor of letting them
go, with their lot-that of the id!
The Republicans of Silver Bow
county want no suggestions as to
their duty from Posh0 Crosby, or
any of his satellites. They don't
propose to be choked by the collar.
There are several things that they do
want, and one is a decent newspaper
of the Republican faith edited re-
specially, in such manner that the
Republicans of the county will have
some faith in it. The Republicans of
silver Bow county want no dictators,
either in the person of Pasha Crosby
or any self constituted local boss.
The Republican party wants leaders,
not bosses. Leaders that will uot
swap off three fourths of the Repub-
lican ticket as often as an election
comes up, as has heretofore been the
general mode of proceeding.
The Republicans of Silver Bow
county want a man sent by the Ter
rltorial Republican Convention from
this county to the National Republic
can Convention that is opposed to
Pasha Crosby, the Dog Collar and
Arthur.
The Republicans of Silver Bow
county want Pasha Crosby to attend
to gubernatorial duties, and leave off
gadding about the Territory and
officiously meddling in political
matters. They want a Governor OF
Montana Territory that Is opposed to
lynch law, and when he takes an oath
to support the Constitution, laws,
etc., that he will Keep that oath
and when two men have
been hung by mob, one of which
was taken from the midst Of his
wife and children, as in the
McCombs case, at the Mullen Tunnel;
that in such q case, or any other case,
where life is taken without the
authority of law, our Governor will
have enough respect for his position,
his oath. and for the people of the
Territory, to not send a joshing dis
patch to the Associated Press, lack
ing everything of wit and all else
that would commend it even to the
