minded Republicans has passed
away.
From the ranks, designations of Off
Gers, dependency of would-be lead
erS, and the overwhelming array OF
loyal Democrats at the fore and in
their front have left the depleted
tateriemalions and political followers
of Blaine in q wretched and pitiful
condition. In every camp, at every
hreside. at every gathering of the
whilOm braves, naught but wrang-
ling, disappointment. growing,
sycOphatic, disconnected remnants
Of the once splendidly appearing ad-
berents of Republicanism can be
found.
SELIGMAN,
The monoplist candidate for Le2isla-
tive honors, thought to engineer a
brilliant ~ stragetic movement and
has lost the battle. A most william
Gus scheme OF coercion Wds TesOrted
to-. The slate was made with SelIg-
man first, second, third and always.
Every man employed at Gregory was
to vote for one of the owners named
Seligman or else we'll, we all know
the COZ sequences of q failure to vote
for Seligman.
It was q base piece Of work, basely
done, bv q base political schemer who
debase0 the name of manhood In
this attempt at compulsiOn, the at
tempt to deprive a free people of their
rights at the polls; to take away their
freedom of thought and kill the ex-
preston of mind before it was uttered.
If l Judge them Alright these natural>
ly hOnest-minded men will not thus
be driven to the polls owned by MI.
Seligman. True, it is bread aud but
ter for them, and cold, merclless
winter is at hand.
WILL THE MINERS SUBMIT
To this outrage? or will they march
boldly to the place of election AMI
cast their votes according to their
own choice? Time alone-0nly thrs e
short days-will tell. If the Il ajor
portion is left to select the candidates
OF its own choosing, the Democracy
will be gamer by a hundred votes
But coercion or no coercion, the en-
tire Democratic ticket for Jefferson
county will, without the shadow of a
doubt. be elected. The Republican
candidates have already
ATTEMPTED TO BUY VOTES
At the rate of two dollars each. A
deputy district clerk was sent out
from Helena with his seal and bIief
authority, and so far has n~aturalized
81 men and delivered to them in
structions to vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket.
The question ARISES, will these
men who have dweIled all their lives
under q monarchial government and
| who have sought our r and en-
liehtened land wherein to make q
| home, now cast their votes with q
| party which would bride or buy
them for a paltry two dollars per
| head? Are they so illiterate and
| narrow-minded, ~ subservient to
masters and so little enlightened as
| to he led estray? / think not; and
can almost hear these brave, hardy
rioht-mirded but newly-lnade citi.
zens. answer NO in laundering tones
which will parylize the ears of their
w0uld-be leaders and masters.
