Political POINTERS.

AateSC aOViceS IiOm w esC virginia
place the Democratic majority in
that State at about 900. Our evening
contemporary will please not this fact
and credit the MINER with facilities
for arriving at correct estimates of
the vote cast in that State which
the Inter Mountain does not possess.
With 5000 Democratic majority in
West Virginia the hope of the Repub-
licans of breaking the solid South
vanishes into thin air. Does the
Inter Mouatuin think that "West
Virginia is still in doub+," and that
sit is safe te assume it will join the
Republican States at the approaching
general election?" ,s. -....
The gentlemen who are on both
the Republican and Peoples party
tickets for county offices are attempt
ing to ride two widely separated
horses at once. 1t is a terrible strain
upon their neither limbs and is Iisble
to cause a split which the parties
themselves will be very anxious to
conceal.
Ohio is much more likely to go
Democratic nexth month than West
Virginia is to go Republican.
Have you heard from West Viz
gina? When the returns are all in it
will be found that the Democratic
majority in that State will exceed
5000. It is still doubtful whether
Robinson has that majority over
Newman in Ohio.
The "fa'se- prophet" Of the Inter
Mountain should forevermore escheW
politics. It seems he is as easily
CHILLED ty carmine colored press dis
patches regarding State elections as a
child. He swallows everything con
tained in them ~ readily as novice
in politics would.

If each does why is he on the Sill
yer Bow county Republican ticket: :

ently stand on the Peoples Party
ticket?
Will the Inter Mountain please an
swer? ...s'. -.
The Silver Bow County Republic
cans, in convention assembled
emphatical'y proclaimed the h'g''
mission and purity of the Republican
narty. The Indep6nuent, or Peoples
| party Of Silver Bow county, in con-
| vention assembled, virtually pro-
| claimed that the Republican party OF
this ,county is corrupt and that II
usad corrupt means to nominate Its
p. candidates. and that for these reasons
the people sre determined t" cut
,oose f1om old party ties and run
politics upon high moral plane anu
strictly religious principles. Ana
still the Peoples party took SIX men
on the Republican ticket. VINO re-
oe;ved their nominations by the
most corrupt practices, and
nlaced them Oh its own ticket. Here
il consistency tor you.
! The opinion is exnressed by no. d
few that the Peoples party Is rnn oy
a ring rs close, compact and as SCI
fab "a the one that controls the he
nnblican rarty of this county. AND
furthermore that it was organized 1ol
the purpose of defeating Mr.. Henry
Walton for sheriff, Mr.. Daniel Welch
| for treasurer, and MrJ Ross Clark fo'
county commissioner, all on the
Democratic ticket. Will Democrats
he led by the nose into the so-caiieo
Peoples party for such q purpose'
