CONCLUSIVE.

The Republican press Of the territory
has been waiting, watching, hoping and
praying that the official count of the
ballots cast on the LIST would change de-
feat into victory, but the nearer the
official determination is reached the
more apparent it becomes that Demo-
cratic claims have not been in excess Of
what the returns warranted at any time
since the polls closed. The same sources
of information have alike been open,to
both parties, but the handwriting which
appeared on the wall within t~wenty-four
hours after the last vote had been cast
SO staggered Republicanism that it has
hardly been responsible for its utter
ances since the blow wa administered.
1t has been sparring for wind and to re
gain consciousness, and at last it has
begun to realize that there was an cleo
ti0n held in Montana on or about the
LIST day of October, 1889, and that a
Democratic governor, attorney-general.
superintendent of public instruction
and legislature were elected; that the
Democrats will have a majority Of two
in the senate and seven in the house,
making a total majority of nine on joint
ballot. This much the returns show too
conclusively to be effected by any cleri-
cal errors which may be discovered by
official count.

A DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT

According to a Boulder special certain
Republican managers made a desperat,
and unprincipled effort yesterday in tina
city to have the board of canvasser!
throw out the vote Of certain election
precincts in Jefferson county which hat
given a Democratic majority. The rea
sons which were meant to support the
demand were of the fimsiest character
and were such that even Col. Wilbur F
Sanders refused to entertain them. Il
was a diabolical attempt to steal the vote
of Jefferson county and disfranchize its
citizens. 1t was engineered and per-
sistently and rascally pressed by ward
politicians Of Helena and this city, who
owe whatever Of local notoriety they
possess to the rascality of their methods
No allegation was made that would i'm
pugn the honesty of anybody, but merely
technical variations from an unreasona-
bly,. technical Interpretation of the Aus
tralian law, for which the Republican
election officers were to blame, if blame
could possibly attach to anyone.
The canvassing board very properly
refused to be a party to the steal, and
here the matter will probably end, as
should it come before a legal tribunal
perpetrators of the attempted out
rage might find some law that would
place them on the defensive.

ready been sold and resold a number of

excitement which has taken possession
of the town. For the want of better &C.

compelled to sleep under bonfire bed

cording to the statements of correspond

the celebration promises to be one long to

town now seems to depend upon the
coming Of a blizzard, and the sooner it
comes the fewer will be the victims.

protection that creates great trusts to ex-

A CASE OF MYSTERIES.

The statement of the Judges and
clerks Of the Meaderville precincts as to
the printed election slips referred to in
these columns on the 9Th, should be
sufficient to quiet the hysterical nerves
of our Main street contemporary. Such
a printed slip as that referred to was
brought to this Office and its genuine
ness and purpose vouched for, but we are
certainly willing to accept the statement
of the Meaderville election officers, and
the Inter Mountain would too, if it did
not measure their veracity by its own.
AS that journal will not accept their
without our co%rroboration,
we cheerfully extend it. While we
do that, the MeaderyilIe returns
tell a story that plenty Of men who can't
read and write English would be
ashamed of.

The Anaconda Standard of yesterday
called attention to several certain cleo.
ton precincts where the Republican
vote was SO unanimous that it had
the appearance Of having been cast by
one man. How is it that the Inter
Mountain of yesterday omitted these
precincts in its editorial classification of
political unanimity which it proposes
shall go laundering down into historyp
The Standard also gave some other polit-
zeal data which the Inter Mountain
to have overlooked. II our Main
street contemporary is going into the
history business it should be faithful to
But isn't the jump from fiction

to take SO soon after the cleo

A SENSIBLE VIEW OF 1T.

From the Helena Herald: 3
The Australian system of voting CAV
full scope to the independence and per
s0nal taste of the individual voter. 1
must be remembered as an ever present
fact that there is no way to get Republi
cans to vote a straight ticket but to make
it the best in all respects.
As in the case Of the governor, the leg.
islature has been jeopardized, not by the
purchased votes that Democrats bought
outright; not by those who took pay for
not voting at all, but by voting Republi-
cans who allowed personal considerations
to prevail wei the general welfare and
lost sight Of the far-reaching results.
For ourselves, we feel that we owe
even u partial defeat to ourselves and
that there is no justice in laying it to
what the Democrats have done. We
want no factious opposition to the vote
Of the people that will delay admis-
sion as a state at the earliest moment
possible as soon as any Of the other
states. Our whole political and indus
trial career will be shaped and colored
by u standing at this critical period.
HOnOTs and offices are divided, but the
future is surely Republican if we do
nothing to forfeit the confidence of the
people.

THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.
What the San francisco Chronicle Thinks
of 1t.

What the San + francisco Chronicle Think,
The Montana newspapers contain COMES
OF the ballots submitted to the voters
under the Australian system, and they are
rather formidable affairs. That for the
city OF Helene, contains over ninety names
and is twenty inches long and over five
inches wide. The names are printed in
small type, and the politics for the aspir.
ant for office are stated. A column ia left
Tor making a cross against the name of
the particular candidate selected. Full de.
tails OF the working Of the system haye NOT
been received, but the dispatches seem to
lndlcate that it is not entirely eatis-
factory. When it ia borne in mind
that the average unframed person finds
great difficulty in signing in the correct
place on an instrument, sven when the hi.
rectlons sign here" are plainly printed
some idea OF the vast number OF mistakes
which may be made by the voter under the
Australian system may be formed. In San
Francisco al, a general election the ticket
would be at least three times as large as
the Helena ticket. Fancy the difficulties
which would present themselves to the
mass OF voters unaccustomed to taking Der
or pencil in their hands, to the nervous
and excitable and to those of defective
sight, when confronted with the task NJ
marking OF their preferences or writing in
an entirely new name if those presented nv
he regular or independent parties proved
unsatisfactory. 1t would be a safe wager
hat not one in twenty voters would cor.
rectly express his wishes. The system NAV
work well enough in countries where there
ire only one or two Offices to fill, but in a
'ity where the candidates are ~lepions If
will prove absolutely impracticable.

The Helena Independent Comes to u
enlarged to an eight column quarto ani
otherwise improved. The Independent
has a larger circulation than all other
Helena papers combined, which, too, is
perhaps the best proof of its superiority.
1t is Democratic, but its political news
is never tainted with such partisanship
as that which has characterized its COM
petitors, the Journal and Herald, since
the election. If the Independent shall
continue to grow stronger and the Jour-
nal and Herald to grow weaker, there
will be some Republican newspapers for
sale in Helena before another election
shall roll around.

of representative citizens of Tacoma in

shot Enoch Crosby on one of the city'E

action at the right time. 1t is the spirit

BurTERED BREAD.

Even the Denver Republican adm;ts
that Mr.. Windows is wholly controlled b
Wall street influences and that he is de.
termined to keep the coinage of silver al
the lowest figure permitted by the law
Continuing the Republican adds:
President Harrison should give SONS
personal attention to this very important
matter. A financial stringency that would
bring s~tagnation and ~strangulation upon
the business interests of the country would
be ruinous 60 his. administration; II he
would turn aside from the trivial work OF
appointing postmasters and collectors for
a while, and give his undivided attention
to the great interests of the people, be
could hardly help seeing that the present
financial policy ofthe governments a most
dangerous one. Population and the vol.
ume OF business are increasing constantly,
while there is no increase, but, on the con
trary. a ~diminution, in the amount OF
money available for circulation. II this
condition of affairs continues for any great
length OF time it is sure to end in disaster.
Let President Harrison do his duty if the
secretaIy OF the treasury will not do his.
The Republican certainly knows that
if it were not for Wall street and the
wealthy manufacturers of the east there
would be no Republican party: and that
in the absence of such a party there
would be no President Harrison. The
grandfather's hat may be too large for
Benjamin, but he knows who buttered
his bread and where toreplenish his sup
ply when it runs out. Benjamin is a be-
lever in a second term, and when do
tage comes on he has a son out here in
Montana who he desires shall succeed to
the throne. The heir-apparent dined re-
Gently with the queen and tasted of the
dishes of royalty and smacked his lips
with delight. II the Republican were
true to its convictions it would admit
that silver has nothing to expect of the
Republican party; and that if free coin
age shall eyer be at aimed, it will be
through the intelligent and persistent
efforts of the Democratic party. The
gold basis and the present tariff are the
Siamese twins Of the Republican party.
They strengthen the rich and weaken
the poor, and they are utterly incapable
Of better things.
