Croker and other huge monopo-
Iists in San Francisco who had offered TO
extend the Central Pacific Railroad into
Montana for the modest sum OF $4,OtO.-
600 in Territorial bonds. A nice plum
nuddine that would have been. Sanders
was opposed to bolt teams and wagons
aud wanted a railroad to do away with
them. They had their say; but the Dees
Lodge gentlemen didn't see it in the same
light, and the subsidy schemers went home
to Helena dissatisfied. Then, when the
Northern Pacific came forward and wanted
81, 200, 600. Sanders was their solicitor.
He didn't get his plans to mature. Then,
when the Utah & Northern exemption came
10, he failed again. The railroads are now
here and they are heartily welcomed. We
want also to see Hill and BrOadwater come,
and they will. AS to sagacity, Mr.. Tooie
has not been sagacious enough to secure
the best client 10 Montana. Sanders has,
and he now wants NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.;
Then he will have two Of the best clients IN
the country. Mr.. Toole has, as all dele
gates do, failed in getting all he asked, but
he has not been modest in asking, and he
has secured much good legislation. Mr.
Clark then detailed many of the new laws
and made O. first ci..ss showing iol
our delegate. Then he proceeded
Do you think that Sanders, it elected
to Congress, would labor hard to secure an
appropriation for the survey Of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, and thus make them
subject to taxation. Mr.. Toolc certainly
has labored faithfully and a~ssiduously fol
Montana, and the people should and will
elect him as his reward. Under Democratic
rule this country has returned to an era
of unprecedented prosperity in spite o
the monometalists. Last week over 100,
900 silver dollars were issued by the Gov
eminent as against los, 900 last year, the
amount OF gold coming into the country
exceeds the exports, the public debt is being
reduced, and within the past few months
$50, 600, 900 has been drawn out of the
New York banks and invested in all man
ner of business, affording employment to
thousands of wage workers. After giving
a general and able review OF the condition
of the eastern trades, MIR. Clark predicted
hat Montana would soon be a State, and
closed his maiden political speech, which
was universally declared to be a most
creditable effort, and it was more thor
oughly proven by the rounds of hearty
applause which greeted him throughout it,

II now being 5 O'Clock the meeting wa.
brought to ii close, and both special trains
were backed down to the grounds amid the
music of the bards and the shouting o
everybody they were loaded up and one .

A saddle horse ran away just before moor
and after charging across the grounds wal
stopped without doing any damage,
Some II dropped a cigar in the dry
grass back OF the speakers stand, and IN t
few minutes there vas quite a laze. Thu

ture OF any character happened to mar the

Five brass bands in one small field is do
