ton, which occurred on the 9th OF Oc'
tober Of hat year there were 6,5G5 votes
cast, of which Col. Sanders received 1860,
and Mclean $500; McLean's majority,
1898.
The second time the Colonel presented
himself to the people Of the Territory for
the office was in 1867, his opponent being
James M. ~Cavanaugh. The election was
held on the second OF September OF that
year. at which there were 10000 votes
cast, Sanders receiving 1896 votes, and
C~avrnaugh 6,OO4; C~avanaugh's majority,
1,1Os.
The Colonel then took a rest until 1880
thirteen years-when he tried conclusions
with Major Maginnis. At the election,
which was held in November in that year,
Ii, 1872 votes were counted, Of which Col.
Sanders received 6,3S1 votes, and Major

o L GREAT CASE.

The following excerpt rom Delegate
Toole's telling speech at Miles City ough'
to be read by everybody:
THE railroad taxation bill has become {
law. The Northern Pacific attorney is so
ing about the country declaiming that the
bill doesn't tax, while the railroad com
pany is giving intits assessments without a
murmur. Perhaps, as attorney, Col. San.
ders will advise them to stop. He says ]
was retained in one case to assist him fol-
the railroad. l never was, and he knows
it. I here and now declare with all the
solemnity that is presumed to attend what
is done under oath, that l have never been
. member OF the firm OF E. w. & J.. K.
Toole and VIM. Wallace Jr., since Decem.
Der, 1884, and have not since that time
been directly or indirectly interested in or
received any fee or emolument OF said firm.
MI. E.W. Toole, the senior member OF that
firm, has 30 published it to the world, and
the Republican campaign orators and press
are not honorable enough to tell the truth
about it. But sink or swim, live or die,
survive or PERISH there is one case now
pending in Montana in which l shall be
found in the future as in the past an attor-
ney for the defendant, and that is the great
case OF
The Northern Pacific Railroad Co.,
VS..
The People of Montana Territory"

rallied to elect u man who would
best promote that development; and
defeat one whose every effort will be to
cramp the progress of the general country
in the interest of a single corporation. Mr..
Burleigh had said that Mr.. w. A. Clark
was a rich mantle richest who had ever
stood on the platform. This was perhaps
true, but the speaker had known Mr..
Clark when with his own hands he delved
in the dark and gloomy mines. He finally
'struck it rich" and we should all rejoice
at the good luck OF a laboring man rather
than envy him. Since Mr.. Clark became
rich he has worked thousands of men and
paid them the highest wages, and there is
not one OF his men but what almost swears
by him. No man should envy him his good
luck, Tor while the doctor lives off
the deformities of man, the statesmen
off their necessities, and the lawyers OH
their contentious, when the stockman,
farmer and miner make money, it is new
wealth created, and no ma is made poorer
by the process. While Clsrk ia a rich man,
he is still one Of the boys, and he does not,
like the Northern Pacific Coal Company,
by which Col. Sanders is sent, provide
stores and saloons at which his. men must
trade or be discharged; and he does not,
like that company, keep a salaried faro
dealer to win back the earnings of his men.
Would such a man as Clark or Tommy
Cruise fine IL man. and his wife who were
working for them SIS when a baby cameto
bless the family, as is the custom of the
Northern Pacific Coal Company, OF which
Col. Sanders is agent? Not much-either
OF them would make the parents a present
OF $25, and a silver cup with the baby's
name on it,

WHY HE Is WANTED.

Among some of the reasons why the Nor
them Pacific wants Sanders in Congress
are thus given by the Independent:
To prevent any appropriation for the
survey Of public lands until it and ite
branch saw mill companies cut all the tim,
Der of OF the government portions of land
along it's grant.
To prevent a survey ofits lands until the
timber is taken off, that it's taxable value
may be decreased.
To prevent or delay the survey OF IT,.
100000 acres of land, so that it will saw
annually and the governmentlose annually
about $3.50, 900 in taxes.
To resist any bill that may be offered
a1ording facilities for the collection oil the
immense sums Of money assessed for lands
OF tho settlers since 1872, when it was not
entitled to lands since 1882.
To resist any bill that tends to facilitate
tho collection OF moneys for lands up the
Madison. Ruby, Big Hole and elsewhere,
outside the limits of it's definite route.
To resist any action OF Congressi in which
q decent respect will be paid to the Knights
OF Labor by the appointment of Commits
sioners to adjust labor troubles in an ami
cable way.
To resist the measures now pending for
the regulation Of fares and freight on rail
road lines.
To oppose the advent Of any competing
lines into our borders and touch the cleo
trio button il necessary to shut off their
supply OF iron.
These are but a few reasons that occur
to US why the railroad is so solicitous of
e~lscting it's attorney, and areso anxious to

WORD PICTURE OF SANDERS.

In Major Maginnis' great speech at Miles
City, as it appears in the Montana Demo-
GRAFT, we find the following word picture of
the "War Horse" Every one car recog-
nize him:
For twelve years the speaker had, to the
best of his ability, represented the people
in the halls OF Congress, and in six cam:
paigns he had helped to down the Republic
cans who aspired to rule this Territory,
and after his last term expired he had re-
turned to his home in Helena and set him
self busily to the task Of boring into the
mountains for the wealth which ma
ture had hidden in the earth. But
while pursuing his peaceful ~avccations
news came to him that the great Re-
publican war horse was champing his bits
and snorting around, suffering for some
one to ride him. This horse had been
ridden so often and lost so many races,
that it was a wonder that he was placed
on the track again but he was entered once
more for defeat. This horse was not
caparisoned like the wal horse that was
ridden by knights of olden time. He had
for u head piece a railroad spike; his knees
were protected by fish plates; his tail was
q double back-action patent switch; fora
saddle he had a velvet cushion OF a palace
arr; his hoofs were car wheels; his bride
was an air-brake, and he was ridden into
the lists by a railroad corporation, with
every breath shouting, Sparks! SPARKS!
SPARKS!"

DAMNiNG EVIDENCE.

Republican newspapers have denied tina
Col. Sanders is in any way responsible TO
the Timberline difficulties which led to tn,
discharge OF the Knights of Labor EN-
ployed there, and finally to the arrest O
many OF them and the eviction of thei
families by the coal company, from tn
homes they occupied. The followin,
shows that Col. Sanders was thu
agent Of the company, and as fal
as an agent can be held responsible for thu
acts OF a company governed by the counse
and advice OF such agent, he is responsible
for the shameful and disgraceful treatment
the laborers received at the hands OF the
Northern Pacific Coal Company:
