JERRY WILLING IF JOE boobies
HIM.
Benton River Press, Sept. 8, 1886.-To
a "looker on" at Helena during the gath
ering of the democratic clans last week it
would be evident that Delegate Toole's
denomination, although it was by accla
nation, was more the result of party ne
cessig, following the line of precedent,
than CT any enthusiastic or spontaneous
display of esteem or confidence in the
nominee. The honor of denomination
for second term at least, has been &C
corded to every democratic delegate thus
far, and to refuse it to Mr.. Toole would |
not only be discourteous in the extreme,
but might make widening breach in the
party. Mr.. Toole's friends, and he has
many of them of course, insisted that he
was fully entitled to his honor; that he
has earned it, and refusal would only
be followed by disastrous results. What
ever may have been the stifted ambition
of other leading democrats they could
not afford to enter the lists under such
circumstances hence the apparent
unanimity, the nomination by acclama-
ton. There were many delegates in that
convention who would have preferred to
vote for another man but party necessity
stilled their voices and stayed the contra
ballots.
The River Press has been foremost in
opposing the denomination of Delegate
Toole, and simply on the ground that the
democrats of this county who merited re-
cognition received none from him and
| that he was not either vigilant or success
full in advancing the interests of northern
Montana at the capital. We must still
beg to look upon the matter from the
standpoint of sectional welfare rather
than politics. If the republicans nomi-
nate a man who would be more intluen-
tial and Jealous than Mr.. Toole in secur-
ing the opening of the indian reserva-
tions, in giving free right of way to all
railroads that want to come, in aiding in
the improvement Of the Missouri river,
otc.-it is the plain duty Of the people OF
northern Montana to support such can
didate. Being on the frontier We require
more at the hands of the delegate than
any other portion Of the territory and tits
important that he should not be In the
least inimical to our interests. But the
offspring candidate is yet tobe named ane
there will be the time to make the choice
in the premises, always remembering
that the welfare and best interests of nor
thern Montana are of greater importanc
to the people of this section than the sue
cess or defeat of party.
