BEFORE ann ArTER

Before the election the Republican
party claimed that the Australian sys-
tenn would secure a free vote and a fair
count. Their organs and speakers as
serted with great vehemence that the
ironclad provisions Of the system were
such that the practice Of election frauds
Of any character would bs utterly inn
possible. They fathered it, and talked
and wrote about 1t by the week, hoping
thereby to ride into power on the back
of their affected honesty. The Aus
tralian system is a good one. but the
present attitude Of the defeated and dis
appointed Republican leaders is such
that all honest men must believe that
the Republican support which it received
before the election vas not genuine, but
that 1t was given with a hurrah only to
catch the labor vote. The Australian
system was the great Republican panacea
before the election, but since a
free vote and a fair count
have practically defeated that party
the system Is not SO close to the Repub-
lican heart as some system which will
even yet defeat the people and elevate
these disappointed bosses, bOodlers and
corruptionists to places which will en-
able them to become dishonesty rich for
what they have done, and for what they
are willing to do in the future, If they
cen bulldoze a free vote and a fair count.
A system that will accomplish this is
what certain Republican leaders are now
looking for, and there is a fortune in 1t
for the man who can devise it. The
meeting of the leaders Friday night at
the McDermOtt house in this city was
not for nothing; but, although the
astute old War Horse was present no
plan was suggested that the majority
believed to be smooth enough to make
the people of Montana believe that black
is white. The Hon. George W.. Sheri-
dan, of Louisiana, is known to be
a stem-winder in manipulating cleo
lions regardless Of how the ballots
read and it is probable that he will be
summoned to return to Montana, that
his experience may be utilized. The
Australian system certainly secured a
free vote and as all of the machinery of
the election was in the hands of the Re-
publican party it is altogether likely
that in the count, that party received
every vote to which it. was entitled. If
there is any Republican judge OF clerk
of the last election in Montana, who
would Intentionally or otherwise give
any Democrat credit for a single vote 10
which he was not entitled his place
should be to guard the surplus in the
treasury vaults at Washington, or as the
successor of Tanner. The Democratic
party has nothing to lose but much
to gain by an honest investigation, but
it has something to lose and nothing to
gain by such an investigation as a set
of disappointed and desperate Republi-
can Office seekers would endeavor to
bring about. No Louisiana steal goes in
Montana and an open attempt to do it
will transfer the scene from the Nc
Dermott house to the penitentiary at Deer
Lodge, where class distinctions are un-
known and soup monopolizes the menue.

THE C GLOBE.

The Tacoma Globe is engaged in the
very amusing farce of fighting the war
over again. If there were any actual
fighting to do, the Globe would take the
next steamer to Victoria. The men who
did the fighting fraternize on the battle
fields of history, while such newspapers
as the Globe dip their type in fatricidal
blood to undo the good work of the re-
unions Of the blue and the gray. If the
Globe hasn't the intelligence and man
hood to accomplish any good whatever,
it should be muzzled and restrained from
making a fool Of itself.

IN noe sIGNo vINCEs.

IL the Republican party ever had con-
troll Of the machinery of an election, it
had that control throughout Montana on
last Tuesday. It registered every voter
in Montana, and had charge of every
registration Office and every registration
book in Montana. On election dayit had
a majority of the judges and clerks at
every polling place in Montana. On
that day its Emitted States marshals
swarmed about the polls as thick as bees
in a clover field. Its boosted
fraud and intimidation antidote,
the secret ballot, was admin
istered to every elector who expressed a
desire to record his political convictions,
and when that was thought to be too
weak, he was given a dose OF Re
publican federal jurisdiction. Every
method, legal and illegal that a
desperate, treacherous, irresponsible
and dishonest Republican ingenuity
could suggest was employed on Tuesday
last in the great commonwealth of Mon
tana to count in the Republican bosses
and defeat the will of the people. But
the people won, the strength of De-
mocracy triumphed, and the rule of the
bosses and corruptionists was over
thrown in spite of its methods. What
next? These desperate men of desper-
ate methods do not propose to accept the
will of the people so unmistak-
ably expressed in the face
Of every illegitlmate opposition that
was i%nterposed to stife it. There was a
secret meeting last evening at the Nc
Dermott house, in this city, Of the Re-
publican bosses from all parts of the ter
rltOry and desperate measures have been
decided upon. They admit nothing and
claim everything, and the principles in
vOlyed in the presidential steal of 1876,
and worse if they can be devised, are to
be used in Montana, and the rights Of
freemen are to be trampled under foot.
But conditions have changed since 1876,
and the people of Montana are not the
people to be tri1ed with especially when
their inalienable rights of citizenship
are assaulted. If the Republican mana
gers doubt this admonition let them fire
the first shot. Millions for defense but
not one cent for tribute.
