TIE MILLIONAIRES.

The organs of the Republican party
must be in the last ditch. They are de-
voting column after column in a reck-
less and idiotic attempt to show that be-
cause a Democrat has money, which ne
acquired honestly. he ought to be in hell,
or in the penitentiary at least. We hap
pen TO know some Republican bosses who
wouldn't object to being millionaires
and they will be too should the people
ever put them in a position which will
afford them the opportunity to pick
Uncle Sans pocket. These men would
like to be millionaires but they are not,
and hence the kick. But Of this again.

A GIFT WELL
The Silver Bow Tammany Club Presented
With the National ColOrs.

h Silver Bow Tammany Club Presented
With the National Colors.
A we'll attended and enthusiastic meet
ing OF the Silver Bow Tammany club was
held at the clubs headquarters over the
Arcade saloon last night. A pleasant fea-
ture Of the meeting was the present which
J. W. Murphy, Democratic candidate for
public administrator, made to the club. It
consisted OF a beautiful American flag, six
teen feet long, made OF silk and containing
forty-two stars. Mr.. Doyle, chairman. &C.
cepted the banner in behalf of the club and
in a fitting manner thanked Mr.. Murphy
for the gift. A vote OF thanks to Mr.. Muir.
ply was then passed by the club, after
which Messrs. Connolly and Glaffki made
brief speeches, eulogistic of the principle
exemplifed by the flag and Of the donor OF
the starry emblem.
c. F. Booth also made a short speech
of the new registration and
laws, and was followed by Messrs.
Murphy, McQneeney and Scheuer, who
spoke briefly but most emphatically to
the point.
The club already has a membership of
125, every member q qualified voter and
every one registered.

MISS CARRIE COX.

Miss Sadie Medin, the Democratic
nominee for Superintendent of Schools
for this county, has resigned from the
ticket. She could not serve if elected, as
she has not been in the Territory
long enough to establish her residence.
The county central committee has ap-
pointed Miss Carrie Cox to fill the va
cancy, and the wisdom of the selection
will be universally recognized. Miss Cox
is a graduate from the Iowa State Nor
NAL school. She taught in that state for
three years, and during the last five years
has been n of the most efficient teach
ers of the public schools of this city.
She is capable and she is on the right
ticket.

Scandinavian Democrats.

From the Independent: In an article
published in the Helena journal of Sunday,
the Sth inst, headed Democratic Genius"
tho Jurnal states that the Democrats have
"stolen some Republican ideas' and were
trying to "steal some Republican votes" I
am confident that tho Journal knows by
this time that one vote referred to in their
article will not need to be ''stolen" by the
Democratic party. In referring to the meet
ing held by the Scandinavian Democratic
club last Friday night, the Journal asks,
who ever heard of a Scandinavian being
a Democrat?" Hundreds of our Scandi-
navian citizens are Democrats, as the Jour
nal well knows. and many more who are
Republicans, I am confident, will vote the
Democratic ticket this coming election. I
for one am a Swsde Tor Scandinavian and
have voted the Democratic ticket since 7
attained my majority eleven years ago, and
80 have many OF my fellow countrymen. I
also wish to inform the Journal that the
Scandinavian Democratic club does not
boast that it's president carries five hun.
dred votes" in his pocket, the same as the
scandinavian Republican club OF the last
campaign led certain of the Republican
to believe, but that all of it's
members are legal voters and will 80 assert
on election day. 1 am not a
"hireling' OF the Democratic nor any other
party. Nor do I think any of my country
men are. lido not think the inducement OF |
bit drinks and square meals" would
change the Scandinavian vote of this or
any other city. the j Journal to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Nor can 1 see why the
ournal thinks the Republican party has
Any claim on the Scandinavians any more
than on any other nationality. If they
not why do they ask. WHO ever
heard OF Scandinavian being a Demo-.
'rat2' The United States OF America is a.
rec country, and any foreign born resi-
lent OF whatever nationality, who has de-
dared his intention OF becoming a. citizen
" taking out his first papers, can vote as
le pleases, for whatever party he p~lsases,
the coming election will surely show
there are many "Scandinavians who

THE REAL FACTS.

The Inter Mountain Of yesterday, with
its accustomed zeal to mislead, accuses
the clerk Of the district court of this ju-
dicial district Of appointing deputy
clerks at places other than the county
seats within said. district for the purpose
of taking the declarations Of aliens OF
their intention to don the garb OF Ameri-
can citizenship and vote the Democratic
ticket straight from the shoulder. A
reading Of the article without any knowl-
edge Of what the real facts are would i'm
press the reader with the conviction that
the clerk of the district eonrt referred to
should be impeached by a higher tribu-
nal than the Inter Mountain, and he
would be further impressed with the con-
viction that Democracy in Montana is
even blacker and more debased than the
Inter Mountain artist paints it. And
although that journal quotes at great
length from a California decision,
(merely a dictum we Think the facts
judicially considered and passed upon in
that cause are as far remote from being
parallel to these as the accuser in this
case is remote from the truth. The
clerk of the district court for this dis
trict has appointed deputies for the pur-
pose of taking such declarations respect
ing citizenship, regardless of what
ticket the applicant intends to vote. He
has done SO as a matter of convenience
and economy to such applicants, ire
.spective of party, who live remote from
county seats, and who cannot well af-
ford to do as the Inter Mountain would
compel them to do. Every Republican
clerk that preceded the present incum-
bent did just what the Inter Mountain
now stigmatizes as an objectionable
sin. Besides the Republican precedent
mentioned, the best legal talent in this
territory sustains the position of the
present clerk. But why was this howl Of
indignation on the part of the Inter
SO long delayed ? Is it another
free trade ruse ? a Pinkerton canard ? or
did the Inter Mountain have to skirmish
for a subject that would permit of a
excerpt? Moreover, that jour-
nal is such q "~josher." Give us some
thing easy.

THE TIMBERLINE ORATOR.

The much advertised Republican rally
took place last night at Turner Hall in
the blaze of torches, amid the din Of
brass bands and the Odor Of cheap whis-
key. The meeting was largely at
tended, but a count Of noses showed
the Democrats to be in the majority.
They were present to see the Timberline
Orator and Northern Pacific attorney,
Col. W. F. Sanders, walk the Republican
tight rope. He was the hero of the
hour with Judge Knowles and the Hon.
Lee Mantle as body-guards. The Judge
and Lee blew their horns and pranced
around in dramatic style, but neither of
the distinguished gentlemen seemed to
60 at with both feet. It was when the
gallant colonel peeled his long linen
buster and SHE'D his castor that the
crisis was reached. He has been a Re-
publican so long and is 10 thoroughly
dyed-in-the-wool that he could not make
a fair presentation Of facts if his life de-
pended upon it. He spoke of the final vote
upon Montana's admission, but he entirely
forgot to tell his hearers that it was
Maginnis, ToOle, and other repre-
Montana Democrats, aided
by men like Cox, Springer and Vest that
introduced and pressed the subject in
Congress. He forgot to tell them that the
party defeated the admission
for years because the territory was known
to be Democratic, and for no other rea-
son. He forgot to tell them that on the
final passage Of the bill it wouldn't have
secured a single Republican vote but for
the fact that the bill also provided for
the admission of three territories known
to be Republican. But what can people
from a partisan.

Thirty-One Miles of Track Already Com
pleted-Rapid Work.
Work on the Butte & Gallatin branch Of
the Northern Pacific is being rushed with
all possible speed. On the Gallatin end
twenty.seven miles OF track have been fin
ished, and on the Butte end five miles.
This leaves 8 gap OF t~hirty-nine miles yet
to be built. eighteen OF which will be COM
pleted by the 22d OF this month. This
will leave a distance OF only twenty'one
miles to be closed up after the 22d, and the
work of finishing up will move right along
without cessation until the last rail is laid.
As the road nears completion consider
able talk is being INDUCED in by parties
who are interested concerning the erection
OF a union depot at South Butte. 1t isnot
at all improbable that such a conclusion
will be reached by the three roads now en-
tering here, and that early in the spring the
work Of constructing the depot will be
begun.

THE TARIFF.

The Democratic party Of the United
States is not a free trade party, nor has
it ever been. The same is true of the
Democratic party of Montana, and of its
West Side exponent, THE MINER. The
%attributing Of free trade to the Demo.
cratic party as an article of its faith is a
Republican lie out of the whole cloth,
suggested by the universal agitation OF
tariff reform. It was concocted in des.
peration amid the ruins Of the fall Of the
Republican citadel against the pillars of
which the Hon. James G. Blaine braced
himself just before the Hon. Grover
Cleveland performed the tonsorial act
upon the White Plumed Knights silvered

falsehood and feathered with the beauti-
full plumage of truth and then with the

ception and detraction to alarm and un-
settle every branch Of business; and for
what That the "Outs' might become
the "ins;" to steady the rank and file of
the wavering columns of Republicanism
and halt the triumphant march of De-
mocracy. Henry Watterson believes in
free trade, but Mr.. Watterson is not the
Democratic party by a large majority.
Mr.. Garfield, a Republican president, and
the head and front Of his party. was a
of the most pronounced type,
and a conspicuous member Of the great
free trade club of London. The Hon
Samuel Randall of Pennsylvania is one
of the ablest and most earnest advocates
that protection has ever had, and he is at
the same time one Of the staunchest
that the country has ever pro-
duced. While speaker of the House of
Representatives his ability and unquali-
fed honesty were universally recognized
and respected by all decent men ire
spective of party.
The records show that the free trade
shoe fitted MI. Garfeld's foot, and that his
party applauded the fit when it elevated
him to the presidency. 1t was cobbled
a Republican workshop and it has the
trademark stamped on the
,ole. That the Democratic party is a
rec trade party is one of the lies that

BAR THE WINDOWS.

The Harrison reign Is yet IN It's In
fancy, but in the expenditure and spirit
ing away Of the public moneys a blind
man can trace the lineage to the Bel
KNAPP dynasty whose successive rulers pill
laged the national treasury until the
American people, goaded to desperation,
arose in their majesty and elected Grover
Cleveland to the presidency and restored
the government Of the people. The prof
legacy, jobbery and wholesale dishonesty
which characterized the Republican ad-
ministration Of national affairs during
the Belknap epoch left in its wake that
memorable "Black Friday" which
brought financial ruin, devastation and
misery throughout the entire length and
breadth Of the entire union. As a monu-
ment to all that is frail, ~disgraceful.
wanton and unredeemable in party su-
premacy, it is without a parallel in all
history. The nearest approach to it is
perhaps found in the story Of Nero as he
watched the burning Of Rome and her
splendor, and exulted over the ruin and
suffering which his hand had wrought.
The leaders of the Republican party are
to-day just what they were when long
accustomed access to the great heaps ID
the national treasury imbued them with
a sense of ownership and led them to
peculation, riot and dissipation that
startled the world with its extent and
boldness. The Republican journals OF
the country have very one-sided and con-
venient memories; the two most con-
~spicuous examples Of which in Montana
are the Prince Imperialis paper published
at Helena, and the Inter Mountain of this
city. In reviewing party records they
find it convenient to forget the multi
tude of sins their party has committed in
the name of liberty. They publish that
which suits their purposes of deception,
and suppress that which would conflict
with them. Give either of the journals
a copy of the Congressional
Record, OF of the deliberations of any
legislative body that ever sat in Mon
tana, and if they don't carve out and
suppress. alter and amend. until they
evolve what the exigencies Of the case
demand and then swear to it, we will
feel like agreeing with them, that like
the sovereign Of England, as contem-
plated by English law, the Republican
party is incapable Of doing a wrong. But
