The Helena Journal Of November 1 gocs
On to say that james Shields, brotiscr-tn-
law In Marcus DAILY. told Mr.. DAILY that
with $500 more he could turn the Swedc
vote Of Elliston, and that Marcus DAILY
sent his sum To him. This In lie No. 1. The
Sws-1ts never received % single cent
neither did Marcus DAILY send H., nor
WINS il asked for. The journal further
says that I deliberately set about corrupt
ing and de~bauching all voters within my
reach, and when J. lid not corrupt them 1
cocrced aud Threatened them with loss of
I never offered ~ bribe To n Iiv-
snye 'e o %iered dollar to
discharge. / haze always enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of my workincn
because ! understand them, having. for
man myself, and know how to treat this
class, aud deal Will them better than any
wealth. The Journal further states that l
was aware that Marcus DAILY had become
one of the of IA syndicate of the
Northern Pacific railroad tai aid their
scheme tn elect two democratic United
States senators aud for other purposes.
This is lie No. 3. Marcus DAILY never be-
came allied either with the Northern
Pacific railroad ar any other corporation
Tor any such PURPOSE, and the writer is
fully aware OF this fact. Marcus
live and bring up his children in
Montana. He has seen Montana
iO.OOO. under the democratic laws. His
desire was To sse this same government
p~ropctuated. He knew the republican
party inside and outside and was fully
aware of its tonne Marcus DAILY is
not n politician, he liz u man OF action he
party meant carpetbasis,n, and strife for
Office; that il meant men at the front who
had no interest i'm the advancement of our
high taxation aud -extravagant govern
ment. Believing all this he accepted the
management of the campaign with no
Of our people. How faithfully he per-
formed his part is well known tn the en-

Now will ask the Journal man "A iev
pointed questions:
First, what has their principle owne

the Chemical bank of New York or tn,
Montana National of Helena. or some q
the dupes that hold shares i'm his great cat
tie ranches on paper. What have the grca

Sanders and Lee Mantle been about il
this last decade of progress. These are
