Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1889-04-06
THE TICKET.

1t Is generally conceded that the ticket
nominated at the Democratic convention,
Tuesday, Is an unusually strong one.
It is not a result of star-chamber pro-
ceedings nor Of slate manipulation. It is
a ticket composed Of men who were nom
mated for their well-known ability, per-
sonal integrity. and general fitness for
the offices.
W. R. Kenyon has been q resident Of
Butte several years. He is a well-knewn
business man, with large property inter-
ests here, and a gentleman Of unim-
peachable integrity. He served one term
as Mayor, and made an excellent record
as such officer. His administration was
the first that ever forced the water COM
pany to pay taxes to the city, and his
record In this matter is such that he can
not be accused Of being in any way in
terested in forwarding the private ends
of the water or any other company. And
yet he would deal fairly by all business
interests in the city, whether corporate
or private. Recognizing the need of the
enlargement Of the water and light sys-
tenn, he would urge the extension of the
ana to those localities which are now
deprived Of those benefits, privileges for
which those sections have been taxed,
and this he would endeavor to bring
about at simply q fair cost, in justice to
both sides in the contract. In the matter
of handling the large sum Of money to
come into the hands Of the officials, this
year, Mr.. Kenyon is ju t the man who
may be relied upon to d. that safely and
economically.
George Newkirk would make an excel
lent Police Magistrate. He has been IL
or IA years in Montana, knows the laws,
is known by all, has hosts of friends,
and has business interests here, and he
is just the man for the position.
Frank E. Corbett for City Attorney is
a lawyer OF ability, a gentleman who
has come to Montana to make his home,
and Republicans as well as Democrats
speak highly of him. He read law for
three and a half years in Virginia, and
was admitted to the bar in that state.
and later, after a rigid examination at
Helena, passed most satisfactorily and
was admitted for practice in this terri
tory. |,
The nominee for City Treasurer, Mr..
Simon Jacobs, has lived in Montana
since his youth. His father was the first
