CLARK'S PROSPECTS.

In 1886 j. X. Toole carried 10 of the
13 counties Of Montana. The total vote
cast was 80 1862, of which he received H.,
900 and Colonel Sanders 14,272 Mr..
Toole had thus clear majority of 3,71S.
The counties which he failed to carry were
Madison, Silver Bow and Yellowstone
In Madison the adverse majority was
only 13; in Silver Bow, supposed to be a
republican stronghold, it was only a. in
Yellowstone it was 81. A change of 81
votes in all would have reversed these
majorities and have given j. K. Toole
every county in Montana!
Some county changes have taken place
since then, but we see no reason to doubt
that William A. Clark will hold the
ground won by delegate Toole and make
decided gains as well. He will undoubt-
cdly gain in Silver Bow, where he is so
widely known and so much esteemed by
men of all parties. His own worlsmen,
who number about 1000, will give him
voluntarily their solid vote. He will gain
also in Choteau and Cascade, which will
each poll c heavier democratic vote than
they did two years ago. making due al
lowance for the county partition. In
Helena Mr.. Clark will gain among the
old.tme republicans, whose sound, com
mon sense will cause them to support the
veteran miner and banker, who has done
so much to promote the welfare Of Mon
tana. He will gain also among the work
| ingmen, for the word has been passed
from Butte to support the friend Of labor,
who was once practical miner himself
and now works as hard as any of us.
Like causes will give Clark gains on
the 1886 vote in all the other counties.
We do not see how T. H. Carter can ex-
pect any corresponding growth. Col
Sanders had been three times-in 1865
1867 and 1880--the candidate of his party
when he took the field against Mr.. Toole
in 1886. He had apparently only to
overcome the small majority of 199 by
by which Toole won in 1884. He had
served his party faithfully and enjoyed
a wide acquaintance among the old set
tiers who had so often listened to his elo
quent addresses at the bar or on the
stump. He was supported actively by the
Northern Pacific railroad whose influen
be caused some discord among the demo
cratic leaders, Despite all these advan'
tages which Col. Sanders knew how to
turn to account, he was defeated by a
majority Of 3,718. How, then can Tom
Carter hope to turn back the tide? how
can he win in the face of the great pop
ular uprising which the nomination Of
William A. Clark has aroused because the
people believe him best qualified to rep
resent Montana in congressS @
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

One of the most popular candidates on
the democratic ticket is E. A. Ringwald
This popularity has been won in the
office of the clerk and recorder of which
Mr. Ringwald has had charge for the
past ten months. There is not more
competent officer in Montana territory
and his records fully evidence the fact
He is always obliging aud ready to res
pond to any call that may be made upon
him. A better man for this office could
not be found within the limits of Gas
cade county.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20
THE COUNTY TICKET.

The general excellence of the demo-
cratic county ticket in Cascade county
will aid in no small degree the success of
the democratic cause here. The party
is practically a unit in the support Of the
entire ticket, while the opposition is split
in twain on local candidates and local
sues. This situation of affairs will op-
"sate in decided way to swell the deme-
ATTIC majority and place Cascade where
lie is entitled to be, in the ranks of the
mocratic counties Of Montana. This
iew of the case is in consonance with
at Of one of the most prominent and in
.uential republicans Of the county, who
recently stated that every democrat on
the ticket would be elected by majorities
in the neighborhood Of three hundred.
At first thought this would appear like
an extreme view of the case, but it is not
without good grounds upon which to rest.
Democratic unity, harmony and earnest
ness aided by the reverse Of these essent-
ial elements on the republican side will
10 much to verify the prediction Of the
republican quoted. But added to all Of
this is the other important fact that the
democrats have named the strongest and
best men for office and from considera-
ton of public policy and interest they
should be elected To this end every
democrat should labor. We ought to
make the majority such a one as will
show beyond question that Cascade coun-
ty is democratic to the core. m.M
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

The democrats of Fort Benton gave
Major Maginnis and Judge Clements as
we'll as other guests Of the evening roy
al reception. 1t was the grandest demon
stration OF any kind that was ever wit
messed at the head of the Missouri river
navigation ana entirely eclipsed the
Hershfeld- Carter meeting held a few days
before. The Great Falls delegation, $50
strong, headed by the band, helped to
swell the crowd and increase the enthu-
siasm. There is no doubt but Fort Ben
ton and Choteau county will roll up the
usual majority for the democratic ticket.
Clark's majority is estimated at between
500 and 900 votes.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20
HOME INTERESTS.

There are some matters of home con-
cern on which it is desirable for voters to
ponder, with the view OF voting intelll-
gently in the interest of Montana at the
coming election. Ii the first place there
is the reservation question. The Grow,
the Flathead and Fart of the Blackfeet
reservations are still occupied by Indians.
Millions OF acres OF arabic or grazing
reserved Tor indians, who make no use
OF them. The old fiction that they need
ed immense tracts for game is exploded,
buffalo are wholly extinct and antelope
are scarce. The shiitless Indian prefers
to board at the expense OF Uncle Sam,
who thus far has been so liberal as to
provide immense tracts OF land AS well as
food for the national wards On his
question Air. Clark holds firmly to the
Mcntauian policy that the Indian must
60. He would treat them fairly and
even generously, but his influence would
we feel sure be exercised with success at
Washington to cut down Or abolish ell
tirely our Indian reservations.
In like manner we are confident Mr..
Clark would labor with success at Wash
ington to retrench the military reserva-
tions. At present these reservations are
too large. Officers and men would be
willing to see them reduced to limits
such as those at Fort Smelling, where d
few hundred acres amply suffice. Every
step in this direction would increase the
area OF settled land and promote the con-
struction OF railroads. AS true MOntan-
ian we are confident Mr.. Clark will advo-
cate persistently this reform until his et-
forts are crowned with success.
Another home interest is public sur
veys. The settlement OF Montana is re-
tarded because congress fails to ..ppropri-
ate enough money to carry on these sur
veys actively and efficiently. People are
induced 10 settle in Dakota or Washing
ton rather than incur the delays and risks
incidental to unsurveyed land. The lin
its of our school lands are badly defined,
and there is always possibility that, as
in Dakota, persons will have to apply to
congress to adjust blunders made in
building towns or homesteads on such
lands. In this matter Mr.. Clark will be
free to promote the public welfare.
While Mr.. Carter would be demanding
that 1.-THE Mills bill must die" Mr.. Clark
would be with the appropriation commit
tee, making his influence felt in favor of
more money for surveys and we feel sure
would carry his point.
On the silver question which also con-
Germs Montana closely Mr.. Clark is sound
to the core. He knows from long experien
ce as miner and banker all about it.
His voice will be heard in the house and
in committee l.. defense of that impor-
tant interest in which he is largely him
self concerned. On the greater question
OF statehood Mr.. Clark is likewise stead
fast. He will not consent that any party
exigences shall for day retard the set
tlement of that claim which he Justly
considers should take precedence of all
others.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

Republicans and democrats alike
treated Mr.. Clark with courtesy when he
came here. The followers of Tom Carter
did not agree with him in politics, but
for the credit of the city they acted as
gentlemen. 1t was reserved for some
scurrllous scribe to assail Mr.. Clark
through the columns Of the Helena Her
aid which continues as gullible as ever.
The statement of DR.. Gordon refutes con-
clusively the allegations of this fellow
who by his own showing is little better
than sneak thief. We cannot under
stand why the Herald which called for a
fair honorable contest descends to such
methods. 1t must know that William
A. Clarks reputation is proof against such
contemplate assaults. L..
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

The promises which Tom Carter and
his henchmen make recall an incident in
Kentucky life. 1t is customary there for
a man who has mules to sell at auction
to announce in advance to the colored
population that on a certain day he will
sell mule on twelve months credit,
which in the negro mind is very remote.
The negroes all flock into town and bid
wildly for the mule. At one sale Of this
kind the auctioneer withdrew the mule
after $4,000 had been bid. A colored bid
der went up to the auctioneer and said:
"Why did you withdraw that mule? Fore
God would have bid $4,000 rather than
miss O. him." Like the colored com
petitors, Carterites are willing to promise
anything-after the election. When it
comes to showing public service such as
Clark has done, they beg to be excused.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

The fact must not be overlooked that
Chas. 9. Turner, the democratic candi-
date for sheriff Of Cascade county, is a
sterling gentleman and would honor any
position to which he might be called, Mr..
Turner is an old-timer of northern Men
tana and needs no recommendation among
his neighbors. To those who do not
know him the Tribune takes pleasure In
endorsing him as man who would we'll
and carefully perform the duties of sher-
if Of this county. .-

There could be no better county COM
missioners than those on the democratic

on the Montana Central. Mr.. Rickard
comes from district that does large
business with Great Falls and will do
still more. He will make an active and
efficient commissioner
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

-Four of the candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket have been renominated-
Messrs. Gorham, Taylor and Wegner.
Ernest A. Ringwald might be included
for he has done the executive work of
his office. Thus for four of the princi-
pal offices the candidates are true and
tried men, who have done their work ac-
ceptably to both democrats and repub-
licans. Therefore, vote for them.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-20

Mr.. j. X. Clark, the democratic candi-
date for treasurer, possesses every quail
fication for the position and will make Il
strong race. His honesty and integrity
are unquestioned and if elected the
office will receive his personal and con
stant attention. Mr.. Clark has been a
resident Of this county for several years,
and he has a host Of friend who Will
rally earnestly to his support.
