If the article in the last issue of the
Courier, "How About Free Whiskey?" is
an attempt to deny that the free whiskey
clause does not exist in the Republican
National Platform, the editor of our e. c..
must partake of an excellent brand of
nerve food. The Courier, up to date, is
the only newspaper, Republican or other
wise that has denied that the whiskey
plank is there, and il the Courier has
made reliable dis covery, a greater part
of the e. o. p. will feel relieved. But il
has not. The obnoxious free whiskey
plank is there and is plain to all who read

the trade of Montana merchants corraled,
but If we can believe the declaration Of
one of the most prominent business
men of Chicago, st. Paul is far behind.
He says that Chicago ships over IS ,OOO,-
600 worth of goods to Montana annually,
and the books of his house show that
that firm alone sold upward of $500 900
worth of goods in the territory. That
such an enormous business is carried on
with the citizens of that remote region
not only tends to show the wonderful
thrift and enterprise of the Chicago
merchants, but it reveals an extent Of
trade and a degree of prosperity in the
territory rarely found in SO new a

EDITORIAL MELANGE.

In these days, when the Democratic
party is in power and is likely to con-
tinue in power, it would be but natural
that Democrats would early signify their
intention of becoming candidates for
office; but in this county this is not so.
Up to the present time we have heard
but few names mentioned in connection
with the Offices which the Democrats
will surely fill this year. On the other
hand the Republican candidates are
thicker than the leaves which strewed
the vale of Vsllsmbrosia, they are seen
on every corner, in every drinking place,
they are every where. And what is more
they are not at all modest in saylngy that
they will run for Office. Perhaps the
success ofthe Republican party two years
ago has had something to do with this
state of affairs. But in all events the
Republican candidate 10 ON hand and he
is not at all modest since the Prohibi.
tionists have to all appearance made his
pathway easy, by pulling the wool over
the eyes of Democrats. Among the
latest we hear mentioned for office on the
Republican ticket ia John Carlin, of
Sslesyille, who wishes to be County Com
missioner.
Query will be appointed Coun-
ty Attorney to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation OF Frank Henry2 Some
say that Potter and Maxey will favor
Peter Koch.
R. P. Vivion will be candidate for
the Office of County Attorney before the
Democratic Convention.
We notice that L. Rotwitt comes up
smiling again and asks the people of
Meagher county to elect him clerk and
recorder. Rotwitt evidently thinks that
he holds a life-lease on that Office.

badly, The real reason, however, is not
the alleged labor vote. Messrs. Warren

become somewhat dictatorial. They

BITTERNESS IN INDIANA.
Each Party Accuses the Other of
Fostering Fraud.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-The chair
man of the Democratic central COM
mittee sent a letter to each Democrat
ic county chairman to-day, of which
the following is copy: Instruct all
inspectors to watch that Republicans
do not vote double tickets Tuesday
The Journal this morning contains full
instructions how such things can be
done The article processes to charge
Democrats with this, but we believe
the real object Is to instruct Republi-
cans how TO commit this fraud. y
The Republican committee early in
the day sent the following letter TO its
county chairmen: THE Democrats
in your county are planning to have
double votes cast. There is no mistake
about this. Warn our people quickly.
Let the ballot be challenged. Print
and put up pposters at the voting places,
offering reward OF 500 by this COM
mittee for apprehension and conviction
of each man who votes double tickets.
Print copy of our ticket and post at
the voting places. Face the fighting
now"
The Republican committee also this
evening mailed notices TO every town
and city in the state, addressed to the
public, announcing reward OF 500
for the apprehension and conviction
of every one who at the coming cleo
ton votes or attempts to vote more
than one ballot, circulates false and
spurious Republican tickets, forges or
mutilates tally sheets, delays election
returns or changes ballot-boxes, and
the committee calls upon every good
citizen to see that the laws are strictly
enforced, and a free ballot and fair
count secured.

CHICAGO PROFESSIONS.
Democrats Far Outdone by the Re.
publicans.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-This has been a
day of parades for Chicago. Both
parties took an inning. and as each
was desirous of excelling the other,
the result was very creditable to both.
The Republicans massed their forces
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon. A most
creditable showing followed. The
Inter Oceans estimate of those in line
is 5000 1t required nearly two
hours for the procession to pass a
given point. 1t was an unusual
thing that the organizations partici-
pating walked eight abreast. The
entire route through which the parade
passed was lined with people.
In the evening the Democratic clans
gathered. A brilliant parade followed.
which was enhanced by the presence
of numerous torches and fair dis
play of fireworks. As in the day
time, the streets were crowded with
people. The Times estimates the num-
Der in the procession at 5000.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-Early in the
evening the streets were blockaded
with thousands of people to witness
two great parades that had been an
nounced. Fears OF a conflict had
largely abated during the week, owing
to the extraordinary precautions EN-
ployed by the authorities and man.
ayers of both parties. The best of
good feeling prevailed everywhere, and
so far as can be learned at this late
hour no casualties of any kind oc-
Cured.
The Republican procession num-
bered about 4700 men and was reviewed
by Gen. Harrison from the balcony oi
the New-Denison hotel. The big Har-
rison and Morton Cumberland cam.
paign ball, which arrived here to-day,
was escorted by 500 torch-bearers and
was notieeably the feature of the
parade.
The finest display was made by the
Railroad Club, who had big model of
a locomotive drawn by six horses
The Republicans had but half dozen
bands, and these they were compelled
TO send to the country for, as the
hired every city band.
While Gen. Harrison was reviewing
the parade he received a telegram
from New York, signed by Mr.. Blaine,
saying: Greatest political procession
ever seen in New York has been pass
ing the Fifth Avenue hotel for foui
hours, and seems enakss." Another
message from Henry c. Bowen said
Never in 40 years have / seen such
an immense crowd ef business men
in procession as to-day. Congratula-
tons"
After the procession Gen. Harrison
was presented with a large glass globe
10 inches in diameter and Sc high BY
an employe of the glass works al
Muncie, the man stating he made i,
himself to-day.
The Democratic demonstration was
equally as creditable as the Republi-
cans, but lacked novelties such as the
locoiaotiye and the big ball.
Chairman Jewett and number o
other distinguished Democrats re
viewed the procession from the bal
coDy of the Grand hotel. About 45O(
men were in line. The Frances Cleve
land Club of ladies from indianapolis
the Old Mems Democratic Club ano

ures of the parade.

tions profess satisfaction, and the In
