A disguised Republican
.-s" whether the compact he,
tween the Republican bosses sns % Se-
. +saaers Of the Peoples party provide sss
u"' the Inter Mountain shall not
oppose the Independent ticket,
we are unable to answer, but iudp-
.ng from the silence of the ..oroann
ia regard to the God and Morali,vn
ticket we are inclined to the belief
tnat the compact includes such nro.
visions. p"o-
iu"or was current upon tho
streets few days ago that the Re-.
puollcan Central committee proposed
70 request MI. F~reyschlag and the
other Republican candidates whose
names are upon the Peoples partv
ticket, to step down and off from me
OF the other ticket. As the names Of
these gentlemen still appear upon
Doth tickets it is supposed the G, NJ
mlttee didn't have the backbone to
make the request, OF that it has en-
tered into an agreement to divide IN
with the Peoples party on all Offices
from Sheriff down to constable.
Enquirer" No. We do not think
Toole's majority over Knowles will
quite reach ten thousand.
The Democratic legislative ticket
commends itself to every voter in the
county. Col. DeWolfe, candidate for
the council, has had large experience
as q legislator, and having a deep IN
terest in the prosperity of Silver Bow
county and the Territory at large, he
may be safely relied upon to use all
honorable means to advance the in
terests of both. He will be ably sup
ported by Messrs. Baldwin, F'orbis
and Duffy in the House.
MI. HI. G. Kessler is a candidate
for sheriff upon the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Kessler is also holdiHg
the Office of county commissioner.
It was thought by a few that the gen.
tleman would resign and permit the
people to elect his successor. But 1t
seems Mr.. Kessler doesn't propose to
do any such thing. If he is elected
sheriff he will then resign and allow
a Republican Probate judge to select
q Republican successor. Behold
how all things worketh for the good
of those vino love the Republican
party.
"A bird IN the hand is worth two
in the bush," says Mr.. Harry G..
Kessler, as he holds one office and
reaches out for another.
In commenting upon Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter to Mrs. Beecher, the
Inter Mountain sagely remarks that
"a man who aspires to the highest
position in the republic, is placed at a
serious disadvantage when he his to
defend himself against assaults on
his private morals" And it may be
added that q party is placed "at a
disadvantage" when it resorts to as
sauts on a candidates ''private NOR
ais" to defeat BIN. As fer Mr.. Cleve-
land he will size up in "private NOR
ais" with James G.. Blaine any day
in the year, not saying anything
about that Kentucky marriage.
Every respectable Republican news
paper in the United States has, since
Blaine's letter to William Walter
Phelps, RETAINED from abiding to
the Cleveland scandal. They see 1t
will not do to throw stones while
their candidate lives in a glass house.
Can't our obtuse evening cotempo-
rary stumble'' to the situation?
The people Of Silver Bow county
will let Mr.. Kessler serve out his
time as county commissi 1ner before
they give HIM another office One
office at a time, Mr.. Kessler.
. It is suggested that as the indie
pendents endorsed about half of the
Republican ticket the latter should
endorse the lonesome candidates upon
/ tho former ticket. For behold, how
nIessant it is for brethren to dwell II
unity.
One of Knowles East Side zen
tbusiastic" meetings was composed
Of eight men, three boys and an LII
dian.
Toole is "whooping the boys up
wherever he gees.
One of the most, if not the most Inn
nortant Office in the county is that o
county commissioner. The gentle
men composing the Board are en-
trusted with the financial interest
of the county and any overs'gn
mon their part in adjusting its bus
ness may lead to loss to taxpayer
II then behooves the people to see {
It. that a man shall be elected TO In
office whose interests and ouslnes
training are such as to qualify hir
for the responsible position. M
