a matter Of polite this fall as 1t is princi
able and our own interest. Vile I be
leive that Harrison u Morton will be
elected & that we will cary boath Houses
of congress will it not be better fur the
people of Montana to fall into line & give
there voates to Carter so that we can come
into state Hood with the rest of the Re
publican Territories then from business

tits not necessary to say the author 0
this anonymous epistolary freak is G. {
Ray, the man whois put forward as th'
leading republican orator O. in Cascade
county. The evidence to that effect il
complete. 49,.
No one but a coward and blatherskitt
ana fraud would indite an anonymou.
letter like this with the full intention ant
design of injuring a man as well known
and widely respected as Mr.. Wegner. II
we have man III Great Falls who is dill
gent III mis- business and faithful to tnt
persons whom he represents that man il
clearly Charles Wegner No one who
has known him at this place for the pas
four years, or heretofore, will deny tina
he is Il Woodworking and trustaco7th,4
man. How the author Of this letter stoot
with his employers, let the following notice
widely published in the press of Montan,
furnish the reply: -.- ---..-
NOTICE: -=~-zJ
G. G. Ray is no longer in our employ
and is not authorized to sell any goods ol
collect any moneys due rs. We have NJ
travelling agent, all bills or notes due III
must be remitted directly to our Helen;
office. S. G. AsHBY Il Go.
Is is not strange that this "litelone
democrat could be 50 anxious to "pro
tect our country and friends" when he il
ready to stab one Of our best men il
the back and while tile ink is hardly dry
that notifies the public to beware lest Ii,
represent himself as the agent of a house
with which he has no business con
nection. ~-- -
We could and probably would hav
overlooked the vagaries Of this politic;s
mountebank if he had not resorted to TIL
anonymous letter dodge, seeking in tha
disreputable manner to do serious injur.
| to one of our best citizens, in manner Il
once cowardly and contemplate. w
draw the line on this kind of politica
work, and feel that it is our duty to lie
the people of Cascade county know some
thing of this ranting renegade whom on
republican friends have placed so con
spicuously before the public.
