cept for the. absence Of Col. ". F. Sanders,
without whom no Convention Of Montana

port. Whatever others may have done for
other States or Territories, Mr.. Blaine is
known and recognized as having always
been pre- emiHently friendly to Montana; he
is recognized, too, as the pre-eminent Re-
publican leader, as thoroughly American,
and Is the master mind in the advocacy Of
protection to the American interests. he
has the support of the most virile element
of the Republican party-the men who will
follow . leader with capability, ardor and
fighting qualities right over the works and
into the camp of the ~enemy-the men who
take interest in. affairs and will work day
and night for his election-the men who are
active in politics and tirelessly follow pur.
poses up from the primary meeting to the
electoral count. They are not content with
the results of four years ago, when trivial
accident wrested from their chief the prize
he should have won, aud if Blaine's name
can be used for the nomination they propose
to have him for leader again. They may
not be in the majority, but they will be as
solid as Grants 307, and they will never
overlook q move in the game.
