Editor Daily Ainer:
In last evenings Inter Noun ain
an article appears under the head
lines IA Little Singular" If the
writer Of tn article had told the
whole truth aud nothing bnt the
truth the matter he speaks about
would be q "little singular"
The facts in the case are just
tese. The ground was
swarming with original Blaine
men. Some of them went there to
speak and intended to do 30. But 1t
seems it was purposely designed to
leavethe out in the cold. Sheriff
Irwin, who loves Blaine as the devil
does holy water, called the meeting
to order and nominated Judge
Knowles as presiding officer. Judge
Knowles took the platform and made
q good speech for Blaine, considering
he was an ardent supporter of Ed.
munds. After he had finished his
speech it was, of course, supposed he
would introduce the speakers called
on. But he didn't do it, His Office
was usurped by MI. Irwin, who
seemed DESTROYS of appropriating the
honor of the meeting to himself.
DR.. Holmes, Mr.. Madden and DIR.
Bishop, original, simon-pure Blaine
men were present and were called
upon by the crowd to speak. They
would have spoken, but the eleventh
hour convert to Blaine, Mr.. Sheriff
Irwin, kept his deaf ear to the crowd,
and usurping Judge Knowles func.
tions, introduced others in their
stead. There is where the 'little
singular" part of the business
came in. That Is the reason
the original Blaine men did not
speak. They were choked off by the
usurper of the prerogatives of the
chair, and were compelled to stand in /
the rain and listen to the hollow ut
terances of men who would rather
see Blame in perdition than to see
him nominated for the Presidency by |
the late convention at Chicago.
We have been called "kickers" by
these sanle me who ran that meet
ing and by their organ the Inter
Mountain for attempting to elect q
delegation to Bozsman that would
reflect the sentiments of the
true Republicans of Silver Bow
county. These true Republicans
were Blaine men then and they are
Blaine men now. Those who OPP
posed them were Crosby-Arthur sat-
then and would be Crosby-Ar-
thur satellites now if they were not
dead ducks since the Chicago con-
vention.
The Inter fountain says "they are
Republicans loyal and true" Loyal
and true to what? To their own po-
litical interests, to their Unsuitable
greed for Office; to themselves. One
of them was putting himself in
training to handle the baton of the
United States Marshal of Montana.
Another was congratulating himself
that the secretaryship of the Terri
tory would be at his disposal after
the 4th of next March, and the third
was chuckling over the prospect OF
receiving his commission az post
of Butte. But Blaine's NOM
upset all their calculations
and knocked the pins from under
them. With Arthur's defeat their
hopes were scattered to the winds.
Now they want to save the pieces,
and so they are shouting for Blaine
and choking off every original Blaine
man in Butte. MI. Editor
It wont win. Wolves in sleeps

DAYS. The men who are borrowing
the plumes OF the Maine. statesman
to pose before the people of Silver
Bow in are as easily detected.
These would-be leaders of the Re-
publican party in Silver Bow have set
out to igncre the 'kickers." They
do it. The ''kickers" are on
top. They are the party of the
