THE CANDIDATES.

For the Council the Democrats place
in the field the name Of F. X. Armstrong.
Mr.. Armstrong is one Of the leading
members of the Bozeman bar, wise, con
sentative and honest, and one that the
people Of Gallatin county should delight
to honor.
For the Legislative Assembly they pre-
sent such names as Alfred Myers Of
Shields River; W. H. Martin of Boze-
man; and John M. Robinson Of Middle
Creek. No one can doubt for a moment
of their fitness and ability. 1t is an
open remark that it is the best Iegisla-
tive ticket ever presented to the people
of the county, and one that should and
will command support.
For County Commissioner they pre-
sent that sterling and tried old Roman
Il. L. Duke of Willow Creek. So well
has his name been linked with economy
and watchful guardianship of the coun-
tys interest that it was popular demand
for just such man. The people can
RELY with confidence that no scheme Of
jobbery and corruption can begot through
with his consent.
For Sheriff, c. P. Blakely fills the bill
So acceptably has he filled the office that
the demand for him to again lead the
ticket for county officers to success that
his nomination was unanimous and in
sisted on after he had declined. Mr..
Blakely has made careful, industrious
officer and the people will without doubt
again call for his services.
For Probate Judge, A. D. Mcpherson,
who has filled the office before Judge
Martin, received the endorsement Of the
convention. No one who knows him
doubts but that he will discharge the
duties of the office conscientiously and
prudently.
For County Clerk and Recorder, NJ. NJ.
Black, who has filed the office so accep-
tably the past four years was again re.
warded with the nomination. Matt"
as he is Familiarity called has grown up
and married in our midst, every tie
therefore of family and business links
him with the interests of Gallatin Coun-
ty, and of his fitness and qualifications
no one will intimate a doubt; he has
proved capable and will in the future as
in the past discharge the duties of his
Office acceptably.
For County Treasurer, William Fly Of
Central Park, had the honor Of defeating
one of Natures noblemen, w. F. Sloan,
and that of itself speaks volumes for the
confidence reposed in him. He is as
honest as the day is long and no defalca-
ton would be feared, even if he gave no
bond. Give him benefit.
For County Assessor, T. p. Mcdonald
of Livingston, carried away the honors
against seven as good men as Gallatin
County holds He is identified with the
county, has large business interests and
will discharge his duties ably and no
doubt satisfactorily.
For Public Administrator, J. M. Lind
ley is the right man; careful, prudent and
cautious in his own business, he will see
to it that the estates which may fall into
his hands will be carefully and prudent
ly managed.
For Superintendent of Public Schools,
Mr.. Frank Hill received the flattering
endorsement, although his foremost COM
petitor was a popular and accomplished
lady. We have no doubt that he would
make capable and honest officer.
/ For Surveyor NJ. Robertson who has
filed the Office ever since he has been
here and cannot get nd Of it now, has a
record in all his transactions for honesty
and probity of which he may well be
proud.
For Coroner, DR.. Foster received the
nomination. 1t was worthy bestowed.
A doctor is fit man for such place
and we believe it is the first time that
the Office has been rendered to and &C.
cepted by physician.
This completes the array Of names
and for none of them have we any
cause to blush. Democrats do your duty
by them.
