THERE is plain attempt on the
part of the republicans of Montana
to steal the results Of the very first
election ever held there for State
officers. Will the attempt succeed?
is the natural enquiry of every law
abiding citizen. Most likely it will.
When the republican managers go
In for anything of that sort they go
in to win. 1t matters not how big
the steal, they are always equal to
the occasion. They care not how
palpable the crime because they
know that all who side with them
will swear that it was moral and
right. To the rank and file of that
party it's managers, the Quays, the
Dudleys, ct al, can do no wrong even
with their blocks of FIVE, their fat,
their larceny and their fraud. When
ever it is necessary to steal votes they
steal them, and to get grace they
howl about bulldozing in the south.
After they have defrauded the poor
white man OF the north out of his
vote, they howl about the terrible
wrong of robbing the poor negro in
the south. Then it is that an honest
ballot and fair count is the great
est of political virtues. The election
In Montana turned or was made to
turn on the vote Of precinct 81 OF
Silver Bow county. By the returns
1t sent ten democrats to the legis-
lature making that body democratic
and insuring the choice of two dem
ocratic United States Senators. The
republican member of the convassipg
board refused to certify tothe returns
because the judges and clerks of the
election failed to sign their names
on the proper line. The case
came up before United States judge
who held that the vote of precinct 81
should be counted, and the same
was done. not however by the state
canvassing board, which adjourned
after issuing certificates to the
republican candidates. The result is
two sets of certificates have been is
sued and two sets of candidates will
seek recognition at the hands of the
legislature. The outcome will be
watched with interest, although there
is but little doubt of the result.
The Russellville Democrat., 1889-11-14

The Boston Globe speaks very
wisely thus "The democratic party
continues its existence in all its ma
tive vigor; it furnishes no recruiting
ground for republicanism, while the
steady abandonment of the latter by
those who have been among its trust
ed and influen tial leaders, and their
welcome accession to the democratic
ranks, make it plain that it is the
republican party which is at length
to go to pieces from lack of true CO.
heslve principle, though it is for the
time being in constitutional posses
sion of the administration that may
prove to be but the more fatal pre-
lude to It's fall. Popular wants can
not always be neglected with i'm
punity by any party. Some policy
that strikes higher key than that
of persistent self -aggrandizement
must be presented for continued
popular support. When thoughtful
students of the tendencies of the
times discern growing popular de.
mands to which the party in power
is obliyious, it Is no presumption to
say It's doom is all the time drawing
nearer"

here and there, may be attributed
the republican defeat.
