be deceived in regard to his interests
Toole is the man to represent Montana in
Congress.-Dillon Examiner.
Col. Sanders calls Cleveland a thick

Hon. J. X. Toole has represented the
people of this Territory during the past
two years in a faithful and conscientious
manner. That he did as much for the Ter

It is officially announced that Sanders
and Toole are walking the ties toward the
national capital. Bets are pretty even at

whom I believe nothing can be said to his
