POLITICAL HONESTY.

Under the above caption the Living
ston Enterprise makes some serious
charges against the Republican and Mr..
Chisholm of the land Office claiming that
the Enterprise was offered bride IN
the way of Federal patronage (Which the
Enterprise claimed as of right belonged
to them in case they support the entire
Republican ticket. The article in ques-
ton does not say that Mr.. Chisholm
made any such proposition, but that he
was a tool and lent his influence to sup
port it. We have no means of knowing
anything about this except as it comes
from the Enterprise and if true shows
the most dispicable methods to bride q
free press which has come to our know
ledge. 1t is said that everything is fair
IN love, war and politics, but such an as
sertion is not broad enough to cover
everything. We very naturally suppose
that where everything is equal, that the
patronage Of a party would be given to a
party organ, but the law governs in some
cases SO that the patronage must 60 to

WAYS THAT ARE DARK, &c

We understand that the editor Of the
Courier went over to Livingston last
week, armed with copies of the Avant
Courier which he was busy showing to
citizens of Livingston and calling their
attention to an article headed, ''The Cues
ton of County Division" and cndeavor-
ing to make them believe that the Cour-
Ter was not opposed to county division.
We do not however. imagine that they
will bite at any such pin hook. So tar
as the CHRONICLE is concerned we do
not propose to give them any taffy on
that point, because we would be lying
and more than that we believe they
would think e.. Nor do we believe the
editor of the Courier is in favor of it
either and the article in question has
many reservations, hut in view of the
above circumstances we may aptly quote
an expression so often applied by the
Courier to Major Maginnis. Democrat
to Democrat. Republican to Republican
and bow legged to Broadwater." "Coun-
ty division to Livingston, no division to
those opposed and on the fence to the
balance"

LOOKOUT.

An effort will he made in the county
to make the people believe
that there has been a great amount Of
useless expenditure, and upon tl.is that
there should lie new deal in county
affairs, but voters must not overlook the
fact that every dollar which has been
paid out, every account which has been
allowed, has had to undergo the super
vision of the Board Of County Commits
sioners, and that a majority of that Board
are Republicans, 80 that the Democrats
are not responsible for it. Nor will many
of the cld-settlers forget, that such plea
was made before the people number of
yearsago, and upon that a peoples ticket
was elected. The County Treasurer, a
Republican, defaulted for 5000. The
County Commissioner Republican, left
the county in disgrace, and instead Of re-
forming abuses, they were heaped higher.
The next year the Democrats gained tie
ascendancy, ard the debt under Demo-
cratic Board of Commissioners was
steadily reduced. Taxation was put low
or every year, and the first time the
board was represented by Republican
majority, the tax levy was increased
three mills and only reduced this year

people forget these things.

+" THEY SAY"

We notice an item in the Courier,
which we cannot overlook. 1t lays that
they are Uniformed that two or three Of
Democratic nominees for county Offices
are making strenuous efforts to pack the
popular election on the of Nov. next in
their favor" It does not vouch for the
report. The "they say" of society, who
are nothing but social scavengers, have
always something to say which cannot
be traced, but are nevertheless intended
for harm. We take occasion to say that
such a report is false in every particular.
Not one man on the Democratic County
ticket, but who will work as hard for
the success of the whole ticket as for
himself. Not one, who will make trade
to secure votes. There are several men,
no doubt, on the county ticket, who will
poll more than party strength. Not ono
them will contribute dollar for an
other purpose than legitimate election
expenses. The simple truth is not pen
ny has beer called for or contributed.
The chairman of the committee will no
doubt see that there will be money
enough to pay legitimate expenses 1t
says the Republican nominees have no
money to spend, preferring to stand on
their merits, etc. 1t takes money to
travel, and we see they have been ont
among the voters and perhaps they have
discovered that it would he money
thrown away to spend any more, and
are endeavoring to make virtue neces-
sity. But it occurs to us to ask what the
Courier means to pack" the popular
election? Does it mean that they will
see that the ballot boxes are tempered
with, or does it simply mean that they
are buying votes. In either event, it
would be violation of law, and we do
no think they desire to charge this upon
any candidate. But no matter what
may be the hidden meaning or what
is intended by this covert insinuation,
we say here and now, in behalf of any
and all candidates upon the Democratic
ticket, that it is not only false, but ma

Inent and the election and the whole
ground could not be covered. Bozeman

Our Republican friends have been
counting on = great detection from the
Democratic county ticket at Livingston.
We commend to their perusal the fol-
lowing extract from an editorial in the
Livingston Enterprise, which we believe
reflects the sentiments of that communj-
tv. "The Republicans have made their
nominations and comparisons are posi-

belief we feel able to demonstrate.

COUNTY DIVISION.

This question is one which we had
hoped would not enter into the politics
Of Gallatia county and one which we
think should not properly belong there,
as upon that point there is difference
Of opinion among Democrats and Repnb-
licans alike, but it has assumed such a
shape that we cannot ignore it. The
Courier of last week conts ins an article
on county division which, though eva
siye is calculated to he misleading. A
correspondent of the Helena 1ndepen-
dent from Livingston of date Oct. 18th.
says: "The people Of this place asked
both conventions to nominate candidates
favorable to q division of the county,
with view to make Livingston coun-
ty seat. To this demand the Democratic
convention turned a deaf ear. The Re-
publicans conceded the point hence there
will be more than the party strength CIV
en- to the opposition candidates"
It is also common and frequent asser-
ton that the nominees for the Legisla-
live Assembly on the Republican ticket
are pledged if elected, to division ofthe
county. Is this 30? 1t would seem to Ike
from the indications, but let not the reo-
pie of Livingston believe the honeyed
words of those who whisper in their ear,
that they favor county division. when
talking to them, because they can rely
upon it, that they will change their tune
over here. As many Democrats as there
are Republicans would favor such
scheme, but they have not been decep-
tive on that point nor let them imagine
that the Republicans of this county have
conceded them Legislative ticket pledg-
ed to county division for any other pur-
pose than to secure their votes on the
county ticket. 1t is but natural that the
people of Livingston should desire coun-
ty division. 1t is but natural that they
would vote for those members of the leg
islature who would favor them, but on
the balance Of the ticket there can be
no reason for Democrats particularly to
20 back on. the nominees for COUNTY Of
ficers.
1fthey know anything upon this point
they know that the candidates on the
Democratic ticket have been their friends,
at least did all in their power to see that
justice was done them: So far we have
RETAINED from saying anything on this
question, because we did not want it ,
enter into the politics of the county. We
did not want to see one side of the noun
tains arrayed against the other on this
question, but so long as it has become an
open question; SO long as it has been
charged that the Republican Legislative
ticket was pledged to county division, We
could not ignore it. If we are wrong it
will he in order for AIessrs. Potter,
Wright, Nichols and GoIghnor to rise
and explain themselves. The people
have right to know how you stand.

The position which the Hon. Joseph
X. Toole took in the Constitutional Con-
vention in opposition to the insertion in
the constitution of the clause in regard
to the taxation of mines, is one that will
meet the appreciation of nine-tenths Of
the people of Montana Territory. We
do not know what Mr. Toole's views are
upon the propriety of taxing or not tax
ing mines; but we know that his opposi-
ton was based upon the fact that it was
legislation and should be left to the law
making power 90 that they could legislate
upon that question as the wants of the
people indicated. He was very valu-
able member of the convention and his
wise counsel aided in the deliberations
of that body. As We have said before,
that if his views had been adopted it
would have placed the constitution prac-
tically without an opponent and the
mining industry could not have been eff.
fected thereby. One legislature has now
the same law, in regard to the taxation
of mines and there would not likely be
any change until it was demonstrated
that it was necessity. No candid man
in the mining region, could object to his
position and the effort to make capital
out Of it will fall still born, on the other
hand, his manly championship Of his
views will only encourage the mass Of
voters to believe in his honesty and in
teerity.
