The sentinel's Salutatory.

In making our first appearance TO a
Park county public, a few remarks as to
our venture may not be inappropriate.
The necessity of another paper in the
county has been frequently discussed,
not only from a desire for competition,
with its consequent improvement in the
character of the service performed for
the public, but also from the univer sal
dissatisfaction with a paper which was
insufficient in any effort for the general
welfare, and was by many suspected of
venality.
1t has been said hat the time was
passed when this community would be
satisfied with a paper which seemed to
exist only as a vehicle for collecting sub.
scriptions and advertising bills.
1t will be our endeavor to assist the
community IN every possible way, call
attention to the advantages and wants of
Park county. and always reserve space in
our columns for the expression ofpriva:e
judgment in affairs of public.
We shall give hearty assistance to our
friends and courteous attention to u
opponents.
While We claim no especial virtues,
our motto will always be fair play.
In conclusion we express u profound
qualification and thanks for the generous
and spontaneous assistance extended by
friends of every degr and of both par
ties, as evidenced by a long list of sub
scribers, and it is hoped the Sentinel
will not only keep its old friends but
add fresh recruits to their ranks Liv-

Our Candidate For Congress.


1t must be a source Of qualification to
an aspirant fcrhigh political honors to be
accused Of nothing more serious than
great wealth honestly acquired. Why
wealth should be a crime in a candidate
and not in a private citizen we cannot
understand.
Mr.. Clark made his money in mines
and mining ventures. He has employed
hundreds of men at liberal wages and has
always had the good will and respect of
his employees, who have never had cause
for strikes from his treatment or wages
paid. He has never ground the faces Of
the poor, but has acquired wealth in the
only legitimate name IN which the &C
QUESTION of millions is possible, to wit:
mining. Of his ability it is unnecessary
to speak. His great speech at Missoula
stamps him as a master of the political
issues of the day as well as a forciful
speaker. A man of high character, I'M.
stained integrity and superior executive
qualities, is surely a fit representative in
Congress for the Queen Territory.
Mr.. Clark possesses all these and in ad.
di.ion would carry the prestige and in.
fluence of his wealth and standing to
Washington, where they would by no
means be dispisel.

ooWAs RESIGNS.
Mr. 0owan the Nominee for Treasurer on
The Democratic Ticket Sends in
His Resignation.

The circumstances surrounding the
nomination OF Mr.. s. M. Cowan of this
valley for the Office of Treasurer on the
Democratic ticket OF this county has been
made public and needs no long detailed
explanation. Mr.. Cowan was nominated
by his friends during his absence, when,
after the convention had adjourned it
was learned that Mr.. Cowan was named as
a member of the Prohibition Cen. Com.
MIR. Cowan 1t seems was aware Of this
fact, but had neve been consulted re-
gsrding the matter and had never acted
IN the capacity of committeeman. To
the contrary, while being a pronounced
temperance man he had absolutely re-
fused 10 take part in the third party

The following letter received on the 9Th
Of this month, explains his position and
his determination to resign. The DEM
ocratic committee met on Thursday last
and formerly accepted the same.
MIDDLE CREEK, NJ. T., Oct. sth, 1888.
Walter Cooper, Esq,
Chairman ofthe Democratic Cen. Com:
Dear sir:-I desire through the Central
Committee to thank the late Democratic
Convention, and the Democratic party of
Gallatin County, whom they represen.
ted, for the splendid endorsement given
me on the 3rd Of October, by my unani-
nous nomination for the responsible
Office of County Treasurer. l have al
ways been n Democrat, have always stood
unfiinchingly by the party and voted the
straight Democratic ticket. Since my
nomination however, my nam has been
used in connection with another politi.
cal party, the report having been widely
circulated that | have joined the PROM
bition party. While 1 am satisfied that
l could explain my position to the salts
faction of the Democrats of Gallatin
County that 1 am still a Democrat and
still propose to stand by the old party. if
time would permit me to take a canvass
Of the county. i am of the opinion that
owing to the short time left to make the
canvass, it wouldbe for the best interests
of the party that l should withdraw from
the race.
/ assure you that l have no desire to
remain on the ticket, believing that in
30 doing the cause of the party might be
endangered. 1 therefore withdraw from
the race and pledge you that whoever
may be selected in my place as the an.

support. Again thanking the party for

abuse of Col. Whitney. The CHRONICLE
has not abused Col. Whitney and does
not propose to do 80. We recognize the
fact that he is a gentleman and made an

WHO Is GARTER 2

This question has been asked up and
down this broad territory for the past
fortnight and the only way he is to be
located is by the reply, Tommy Cruse's
brotherin.law." Carter is a Helena
lawyer, with too much shrewdness to
run for the Office of delegate in this ter
r,tory, if there wasn't something in it.
He hung back when the nomination was
offered him and had to be coaxed to take
it. Coaxing by words are futile with
Mr.. Carter, he Is too much ofa lawyer
for that. Money has to accompany
every coax, and as the CHRONICLE has
before stated, Tom Power, Hershtield
and other capitalists furnished that
money, while Mr.. Carriers keg remains
%untapped. Here is what a writer on the
River Press says of Tom Carter's history
in Montana:
Mr.. Carter came to Montana in the
rush hat Immediately followed the com.
pletion of the Northern Pacific through
the territory, and like the majority Of
the ambitious young men who rode into
Montana on a Pullman car, he stopped at
Helena, where he has since resided, and
where he has since employed his time to
advance his own interests. He has done
nothing for Montana, and Montana owes
him nothing. He has no claim upon the
territory or the people, lie has done
nothing towards making Montana habit
able or to excite the gratitude of the peo'
pie. Montana has simply been a goose
for Tom Carter TO pluck aud he has
plucked it well. No one blames him fol
having feathered his nest and filled hit
bari. He did 3oth, it is presumed, in
legitimate way without attracting the at
tention oil the people. Hence, the inquiry

CARSON AND0NEoF 1sBoNDsMEN

The last Issue of the Courier devoted
nearly one whole column to the Carson
matter. The article is evidently the
work Of great study and brought
forth after two weeks of laborious work.
1t is an article long on words but ex-
tremely short on facts. The sympathy
racket" is worked for all it is worth,
and why shouldn't it be? The editor of
the Courier is one of Carson's boudsmen
and it is mete that he should try to get
even by having Carson elected again.
In fact We have a distinct recollection of
hearing the Aforesaid editor so express
him self publicly and he was in the Re.
publican Convention when he let out the
remark. We have no objections to Mr..
Carson running for office on the Repub.
liran ticket; but we want him to come
offthe sympathetic" perch. He worked
the squirrel scheme for all there was in
it-for Carson, and we doubt if lnere is
n sensible person in this county who
will swallow the Courier's assertion to
the effect that Mr.. Carson wa actuated
solely by an philanthropic motive to rid
the county of squirrels. Mr.. Carson is
not built that way. We are willing to
confess however, that Mr.. Carson has
succeeded in making a great many
people believe that he is an injured limo.
cent, when the facts in the case prove
that he received all that he was entitled
to and more. Mr.. Carson, for various
reasons has never been troubled to any
great extent with cases before him and
in fact has been very rarely in his office
at all. During the time the squirrel
skins were being brought in, two men
performed the work of counting and
burning, while the nominal Probate
Judge read Peter Henderson's Guide to
Farming. We again assert that Mr..
Carson's bondsmen requested him to
place the money he had received for
skins in the bank, until the matter was
decided by law, inasmuch as he was the
emily oficerin the territory who wa ap.
%prorrating the money so received for
his own use. He refused to do this.
He preferred to take the money and use
it for his WI purposes, with the results
very painfully known to the aforesaid
bendsmen- We cannot oensure Mr.. Al
derson for insisting that Carson should
be renominated and then shielding him.
1t is a necessity for him to do so, grow

QUERIES FOR MR.. GARTER.

Mr.. Carter, the Republican nominee
for Congress, will speak in Bozcman to.
night. This Isl farming community and
Mr.. Carter will be expected to answer
fully the following questions:
Is the farmer protected by the tariff
tax?
Is it Carnegie, Alger and the other
manufacturing magnates or the men
who work for Carnegie, Alsers and
others largely engaged in business that
are highly protected?
Who have gotten rich, the manufac.
turers or the farmers2
Are the men who work for the pro.
tected infant" sheep industry any bet
ter pail than hands on a farm, which is
not protected?
Does the tlothing manufacturer. for
instance, put the tariff tax in his pocket
or distribute it proe rata among his en-
~ployees?
Does the farmer who puts a frame
house on his land get the benefit Of pro-
tection2
And is it not a fact that higher wages
are paid to labor in the unprotected in
dustries than IN those which are the
beneiciaries of a high tariff?
Ia il not a fact that there is n surplus
o fsl4o,O00. 900 in the treasury, and the
Republicans have brought in a bill to
cut down taxation to the extent of S74,-
O00,OOOe 4.
Is it not true that the Republicans
propose a measure that would in no wise
relieve the burden of incidental taxa
ton?
Is it not a fact that the Senate bill
puts a heavier lax on the farmer and
the poor man, while relieving from taxa.
ton the goods the rich require?
These are but a few of the many ques-
tons we would like to have Mr.. Carter
