Republican Dirty Work IN Ohio.

"'i''"9' ~ oGLootr /--DuC-
ley the republican corruptIonist, is
following the same plan here as in
Indiana. He IS buying votes direct
and insists on knowing what he is
buying. His headquarters are in
Columbus but he keeps 50 much in
the dark that he is seldom seen. The
state committee has two Offices, one
fronting on Third street and the 9TH
er on Fourth street. The Third
street office is a public one where
the committee does its legitimate
business. The Fourth street office
IS where Dudley and his men do
their deviltry. They aim first to get
man IN each precinct IN the state
in their service, with who they con-
tract for delivering to the republi-
cans OF three or four democratic
votes. They do not take any chance
but insist in knowing the names and
addresses of every vote thus bought
II they get three, or even two votes
IN each district IN which wanted,
and would otherwise be democratic,
it makes a big total in the state. for
every vote SO changed counts as two.
In case they cannot get democrats to
vote the republican ticket they buv
them to stay at home on election day
and not vote at ali. Their fund ap-
pears to be simply unlimited, and
they are paying all sorts OF prices tor
votes. Republicans concede that il
the democrats carry Ohio Blaine is
beaten beyond all hope, and hence
the managers in this state have carte
blanche
TO DRAW FOR FUNDS.
The prices of votes SO far as heard
from range all the way from $40 to
$50. 1t is very difficult to get this
sort OF evidence since the time a
couple of weeks ago, when the DEM
ocrats produced a letter from the
republican central committee roosns
to man offering him $50 for three
votes, still we keep pretty we'll post
ed on what they are doing. Said a
prominent democrat to-day, 1.-The
vote of the state at Garfield's cleo
ton was 724, 900. If we have in
creased IN anything near the same
proportion as we did prior to that
llme it will be at least $4,000. l
think the vote last year at the state
election was about 10000. The
increase has been much greater in
democratic districts than in the
western reserve, on which the repub
licans rely for their main support.
Taking these facts into consideration
you will see that on square party
pull we could win in canter. The
result, therefore, depends rather
upon the buying power OF the re-
publican committee than on any
other consideration, and don't think
they can possibly buy enough to
win.
In the Hooking valley the miners
hitherto voted with the republic ans
usually, but the strike and the incl
dent desolation have disgusted all OF
them and driven most of them out.
| don't think those who remain will
pern1it new corners who haye been
colonized fair INNING wages to vote,
as they know them and have no love
for them. The valley will give us
an increased democratic majority.

Accident to the Asslnaboine Coach.

Special to the River Press.
COAL BANKS, March N.-The coach
coming from Fort Assinaboine broke
through the ice in the Sandy, eleven
miles from here. The driver got the
harness unhitched, and managed to get
the horses out of the stream, but the
coach tipped over and could not be
pulled out; it is still in the stream.
Neither the driver nor the one passenger
was injured, except in getting good
ducking. They reached this place at
$50 this evening. Every effort will be
made to get the coach out of the creek
to-day by cutting away the ice that is
around it.
The water in the creeks from the post
ito the Coal Banks is subsiding, but the
Marias and the Teton are booming.
These two streams are so full of running
ice that VOLTS ferry boat was disabled
after a few trips, and the mails now go
across in skiff.
\ Nose Solomon s house is in danger, as
the bank of the Marias has caved in
hearty up to the dwelling. The water
lis running at the rate of eleven miles an
hour, and is full of ice. The Missouri
at the Coal Banks has risen eighteen
inches since the morning, and is run
ming full of ice.

Fort Benton, Montana. Wednesday, Marcel IS, 1884

Hank Ga'ely. an employe and sort of
sub-boss on the ranch, who proposed to
feed the sheep, to which Haley objected,
and while they were disputing about
the matter they saw Mr.. McHilburn
coming toward them, and Haley said !:
"Here comes the boss and he shall say
whether we shall feed the sheep or not. y
At that Gately ran to q wood pile close
by, picked up a club, and returning
struck Haley u terrible blow on the
head with it. Haley had Winchester
rifle with him which he always carried
to shoot or scare coyotes away from his
flock, and as soon as he recovered from
the blow dealt him, he pulled the gun
on his assailant and shot him. the ball
taking effect in or near the region of the
heart, causing death in about ali hour.
Haley gave himself UP to the authori
ties next day. A coroner's inquest was
held over the remains, and a verdict of
manslaughter in self-defense returned,
which we think rather an original YER
dict for 9 coroner's jury to return. It
appears that the justice is at loss how
to act in the matter, as he has written
to Helena for instructions, keeping the
prisoner in custodyin the meantime. 1t
seems to be the prevailing opinion that
the killing was justifiable under the
circumstances. River Sun.

Price of Farm Labor.
Editors of the River Press:

Editors of the River Press
Allow me a short space in your valu-
able paper to say word regarding the
wages paid to hired men. It is coming
the time Of year when every ranchman
needs more or less help, and what they
shall pay for it this season is the ques-
ton. One thing is very certain, and
that is, that they can't pay the same
wages that they have been paying and
make enough to keep their families in
food and clothing. In Choteau county
wages are double what they are in the
"States," and from a quarter to a third
more than in every other part Of the
west that have heard of for agricul-
tural work. Now that the railroads are
bringing us into competition with the
productions of the east, even the super
ior quality of our crops will not save us,
unless We can produce it more cheaply
than heretofore | don't want to cry
down the price of labor, but, like farm
products, it must stand share of the
reduction that is brought about by the
equalizing process of outside competi-
ton.
[ know that a good many ranchmen
are in debt because they were disap-
pointed in the outcome of last year
Now if they will all stand pat on not
paying more than $25 to $50 this year it
have been used to getting $40 a month
will kick, but $50 is big enough to at
tract plenty of others from other parts
of the country that have not been getting
so much. RANCHER.

.,, The New~School House.

Just as soon as Mr.. Wilton returns
from Barker, which will be early next
week, arrangements will be made to
commence work on the new school
house. When completed, this Will be
the finest school building in Montana.
Tt will be q larger structure than the
new court house, and will make quite
as good an appearance, although the fin
ishing and work in the interior is not so
expensive. The contraeb PRICE is -$32, ,818.
or this amount the board of trustees
have cash and material on hand to the
amount of $4,000, and will probably
issue bonds, with the consent of the
voters of the district, for the bal
ance- only $7,818. This would be but
small burden for the district, and to pay.
the interest regularly and meet all othe1S
demands would not require any in
crease whatever in the rate of taxation
It is only fair that those who will get
the benefit of this temple of learning I'M
after years should in small part help
pay for it. We have no doubt but that
the people of the district will heartily
sustain the trustees in making the
award, and in raising, in whatever way
they deem best, the small Balance that
lis needed.
