LOOK AT THIS AND q A


We invite the attention of the voters oil
Montana to the following records Of the
two candidates for Delegate in Congress.
Sanders record: BE was the tool and
stool pigeon of railroad corporations in
the Legislative Assemblies OF this Terri
tory from 1873 to 1879. He first
endeavored to persuade the peo-
pie of the Territory to give $4,000
900 to the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany to build a road from Ogden to Hell
era. He then favored q subsidy Of So, 000,-
900 to the Northern Pacific. Afterwards
he favored q subsidy Of 81, 75O,0 900 to the
Utah & Northern. Failing in this he pro-
posed to exempt that road from the pay
ment of taxes in this Territory for a term
of fifteen years. He then entered in the
employ of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company at a salary Of $4,000 a year.
He favored Chinese immigration in 1871.
He favored Chinese immigration in 1879,
and upon the floor OF the Assembly Hall
denounced as "barbarous, undemocratic.
unrepublican, uncivilised and az against
the progressive idea Of the age" a me-
mortal praying Congress to restrict Chinese
immigration. He has been and is now in
the employ of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company at a salary OF $4,000 a
year. As the agent and attor-
ney Of that Company he boasts that
it was bis finger that touched the
electric button which set the directors of
his road to work to prevent the entrance
of the Manitoba Railroad into Montana,
claiming that Montana was the territory
OF the Northern Pacific, that it. belonged to
that corporation, and that it had made
concessions enough. He is a stakeholder
and director in every branch Of the North
ern Pacific in Montana. He is the apollo
gist and defender OF the Northern Pacific
Coal Company in his expressions OF the
miners; he opposed the con-
st, uction Of the Helena street railway; he
denounces Democrats as 'tgrovelling mag.
and regards a Chinaman as good as
any other foreigner.
Toole's record: He is a gentleman, whose
record and private character are
unassailable; he is e staunch and sturdy
of the agricultural, grazing and
mining interests of the Territory; he is OPP
posed to Chinese immigration: he has
worked faithfully, intelligently and efici-
for the interests Of Montana as it's
Delegate in Congress; he introduced and
the passage through Congress of
most of the following bills, and will see
that the rest become laws: A bill to tax
the land grant of the Northern Pacific Rail.
road in Montana, whereby the entire grant
OF more than 20, O00,O 900 acres oil it's land
in this Territory will become taxable as
fast as it is surveyed.

A bill providing for the reduction OF the
Indian reservations in the Territory.

commission to treat with the Northern
Indians, with the view of purchasing their
lands and causing their removal from the
Territory.
He is q consistent Democrat, an enter
prising citizen, a faithful, earnest represen-
tative, and too much of a gentleman to
apply low, vulgar epithets to members of
the opposing party. Look at this and
then look at. that. Fair.minded, honor
able men will not hesitate long in making
their choice OF candidates. On
the one hand is the agent and subservient
tool of a giant corporation, an advocate
of Chinese immigration. Chinese a per Ia
Dor and Chinese nastiness; an apologist
and defender of the oppressors OF Timber
line miners, and a dealer il low. offensive
epithets. On the other is his autipodes in
every respect. An intelligent and efficient
representative Of the great interests of the
Territory, the defender of the people
against the Vaccinations OF a powerful
company, and q gentleman on the
platform and in private life.
