THE SITUATION.

The political situation in this county
as well as in the territory is decidedly
favorable for the Democrats and 1t is
conceded hat the Democratic conven
ton nominated a ticket that is composed
OF the best material IN the party, taken
fsom different sections Of the county,
with an especial regard for the fitness of
the men for the various positions. The
convention was n ofthe most harmoni.

Democrats here having apparently gain

which placed in nomination Hon. W. A.
Clark. There is no Disgusting the fact

anxious to come here, preferring to give

of the territory, which he considers to

not purchasable in this county, largely
made up of intelligent farmers nor are

Elk Postmaster Whitney of Billings,
whom We admit to have been an efficient
postmaster, was a few months ago super.
coded, at the expiration of his term, by a
Democrat. The ex postmaster then went
to Spokane Falls and there become as
slstant postmaster under a Democrat,
and to cap the climax has returned to
Billings to run for Treasurer on the Re.
publican ticket. One wonld naturally
suppose that a man of such pronounced
Republican principals, would refuse to
receive an Office under a Democratic adj
ministration, but Mr.. Whitney is not of
that kind, he held on to the office as long
as he could and lost no time in getting
another under an administration which
he condemns. This is a specimen of the
consistency of some Republicans in this
territory.

The DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

80 -F
The Democratic County Convention of
Gallatin County has performed Its labors
and presents to the voters of this county,
that is admittedly one Of the strongest,
ifnot the strongest the Democratic party
has ever produced in this county. Every
section of the county has been recognized
and the ticket has been selected main
ly of able men outside of Bozeman.
The ticket presents an array of strength
that is well nigh invincible, a ticket that
merits the support Of every citizen and a
ticket that would be hard to down in
any community. The convention was
one of the most harmonious ever held
The Delegates met together and deliDer-
ately discussed the merits of different
men spoken of for the various positions
and selected those that lhey considered
to be the strongest and best entitled to
the Offices. Without drawing invidious
comparisons at this time, we cannot re.
sist saying that the Republicans can
find no flaw in the proceedings Of this
convention, out of which they can create
the slightest capital. The proceedings
were admirably conducted, ~forcastipg
with no uncertainty the success Of the
entire ticket next month.

THE O0WAN CASE.

IL is a matter of fact which has been
pretty thoroughly discussed during the
past week that Mr.. S. NJ. Cowan, who
was the successful candidate for Treas
urer at the recent Democratic convention
is a member of the Prohibition en,ral
committee of this county. Tie nomina-
tion of Mr. Cowan WAS very Aatteriny to
that gentleman, who has a wide circle of
friends and Is known las an upright and
honest man, inasmuch as he was selected
from q list of equally well. kpawn and
popular citizens who were brought for.
ward by their friends for the office of
treasurer. But on the day following the
convention, the members of the Fro.
hibiiion party boasted OF the fact that
Cowan was a member of the central
of their party. and for the
first time the delegates to the Democratic
party became aware of the true state of
affairs. Mr.. Cowan's friends came to his
rescue by stating that his name does ap-
pear among the list of central committee.

RANK TRAP.

Someone has stated that Thomas Car
ter, the Republican nominee for Dele.
gate to Congress, is a elap.trap orator. IN
view of the fact that he has endeayoled
to create sympathy and support by pub
licly stating that he was the son of an,
Irish exile, that he had been distressing
ly poor, &c. 1t seems that Mr.. Carter
has been very properly dubbed, and the
proof ofthts assertion is to be found in the
last issue of the courieY in a letter ev-
identity constructed for publication, as it is
nearly a column long, and in answer
to tie simple question "For Heavens
sake when are YOU coming over?" In
reply to this sole question, Mr.. Car.
ter responds in a very indefinite and
brief manner, but on other matters en-
tirelv foreign to the question, Las q great
deal to say. In fact, he is as verbose,
and we must say, as inconsistent as n
young lawyer with his first case. For
instance, he strews a little taffy around
promisciously on the eloquent and ca
pable members of the parlv in Gallatin.

that the only difference between him and
Clark is the Mills bill, which he says is
Il very bad bill for the miners and sheep
men, someone has told him that we
have both here) but fails to say wherein
it is bad. He evidently believes that
his simple statement that the Mills bIlli
bad makes it so nthe minds of the lowlv
sheepman and the simple. minded miner.
In this he will be mistaken. The people
whom he hopes to turn by glittering
~generalities are at the present moment
looking for facts, and they are not willing

and comes from Helena.
We hav'nt the space to devote to co.

but there Is n paragraph that we de
sire the people to read and carefully
over. Here it is:

men, but that it was placed there with.
out his knowledge. The matter has
assumed a phaze wherein it would be
extremely dangerous for Mr.. Cowan to
persist in running for the Office not only
to himself, but the whole Democratic
ticket, as the outward show of rejoicing
on the part of the Prohibitionists, would
be a constant sou ce of annoyance and
the Democratic party would be
accused of conniving with the Prohibi.
~tionists. Under these circumstances
then, there seems to be only one horn of
the Dilemma to grasp and that is for Mr..
Cowan to resign. This we are informed
he has concluded to do and allow the
central committee to fill the vacancy.
The %occurance is n that we deeply de-
plore, as Mr.. Cowan is one of the best
citizens and would make a most excel
lent treasurer, but his evident connec
ton with the Prohibition party makes it
decidedly dangerous for him and the
Democratic party for his name to con.
tinue thereon. The fact that he is a
Good Templar has nothing to do with
the matter, but a man cannot re-
main even under the suspicion of being
a Prohibitionist and a Democratic can
didate at the same time and succeed.
The Prohibition rarity Is now separate
and distinct from any other party, and
the Democratic party of this county can
not afford to carry a candidate who bears
the slightest suspicion of belonging to a
party, managed by a few Republicans
with sinister designs. True, the friends
of Mr.. Cowan disavow any intentions on
his Part of coupling himself to the third
party, but inasmuoh as he has thought
lessly neglected to correct the error
which the Prohibitionists made in their
zeal to force every Democrat possible
into their ranks, he will without doubt
bow to the inevitable and resign the
proflered Office at the earliest opportunity.

that it would be unlawful to do SO, until
the reservation is thrown open to settle
ment. We, or some less distinguished
person might possibly make sich a,
suggestion bat its II very g%rievous error
for Mr.. Carter to do SO. He IS a candi-
date for n high legislative Office, and is
supposed to be especially careful that
the laws shall be upheld. And again,
look at the injustice of a recommendation,
that supports a few persons who will vi
olate the law, rush TO the reserva-
ton and take up the best lands, while
those who are more worthy are kept out
because they are more law-abiling. We
submit the language of Mr.. Carter to
prove that he says he would uphold this
unlawful, action, but we believe thatheis
enough of a lawyer to know that the
results would be dangerous and we must
therefore conclude that he is using some
of his clap trappery on u people.
He devotes considerably more space to
the next paragraph wherein he takes up
the Fl. Ellis garrison matter and saws
that the post ought to be re.established.
He takes no notice Of the fact that it is
the policy of the War Department to
concentrate the troops and to do away
with the smaller posts. He also fails to
state that which all of us know, i. e.-that
ifthere is a large post to he established
in Montana and a Helena man is in
Congress, that post isn't going 10 be a
hundred miles from the capital.
This talk of giving earnest support to
the opening of the reservation Is all very
pretty, but it is not satisfying. Mr.
Toole worked US la ri as any man could
to have this reservation thrown open tc
settlement, as the Congressional Records
in the possession oftlis office will chow

Mr.. Tooie was handicapped by the Of
fort on the part of some of our good

points Mr.. Carter has advised our looa
