rnEMoNrANA ELECTION CASE

The Judges OF the Supreme Court
OF Montana, have decided to hold u
special term Of court next Monday, to
hear the Tunnel Precinct case from
Silver Bow county. In this precinct
the Democrats had q majority Of Ill
votes. By throwing ont the precinct,
the Republicans would have n ma
jority OF tho members OF tho Lcgisla-
ture from Silver Bow county, md be
enabled to control the Legislature.
Accordingly the Board OF Canvassers'
which consisted OF two Republicans
and one Democrat, concluded TO play
the electoral commission game, which
guvo the Presidency to Hayes over a
popular majority OF 10000, and re-
fused to count tho votes OF Tunnel
Precinct, on the ground OF irrcgularity
ON tho part OF tho inspectors and
clerks Of election.
On the face OF the returns the
Democrats had n majority OF the
Legislature, but tho SUBSTITUTION Oh
five Republicans for five Democrats
in Silver Bow county, will change the
complexion Of tho Legislature aud
enable tho Republicans to elect two
United States Senators. The court
proceedings, il impartially conducted,
as they certainly should be, will de-
termine whether there was fraud in
the Tunnel Precinct, and whether
the Board OF Canvnssers was right in
refusing to count the votes cast there,
md upon the decision Of the court in
the caso will depend the political
. Jnplcxion OF the Montana Legisla-
turc and tho first United States Sena-
tors from tho State.-ISilver State.

Correction.

In reference to matters connected
with tho possession Of the Humboldt
House, 1 desire to set myself right
before tho public by making the fol-
lowing statement:
Some time since Mr.. and Mrs.
Dover told mo and my wife that thcy
could not mako enough to justify
them in kocping the Humboldt
House. They still owed n balance OF
si5 on tho rent. On Thursday last I
asked for this balance when they
agreed to give up tho house on the
first Of November, but subsequently
an agreement was made between my
self and wife aud Mr.. and Mrs. Dever
that we could take possession OF the
house on Sunday tho 9th instant.
On Friday evening Mrs. Devor came
over and paid my wits the balance,
$40, due on the rent, and also sold my
wife n number Of chickens. Satur-
day morning i went to work to clean
up tho premises which, especially tho
cellar, was very dirty. In the mean
time l went to work to kill chickens
for the Sunday dinner, when Mrs.
Dever came TO me and told me she
wanted tho house for another month.
l then ask ID her how sho could do
that, as I had made ull arrangements
to open tho house on Sunday morn
ing. She insisted that sho would
keep tho house and ! told her that /
thought it u very dirty trick; but us ]
did not sec how l could do otherwise
I rcsold her the chickens and quit my
work ut cleaning up. 1 then ordered
tho advertisements out; and as long
Us Mr.. Dover pays the rent in advance
and complies with all the terms Of
tho lease he has tho right to keep the
housc for one year from tho LIST Of
August, 1889.
