PRESS OPINION.
In sections Of the Union outside Of
Montana, republican newspapers are
waiting for information in order to
learn how they make excuses for
the steal which four or five republicans
are trying to negotiate in this territory.
The robbery has not yet been seriously
defended by any republican newspaper
published i'm Montana. The local press
has merely recited the minor technical
tiles incident to the count at the tunnel
district i'm Silver Bow county, and the
press in distant states, knowing how
unwarrantable these grounds are, ran
not be induced to support h raud.
The run of sentiment outside of Mon
tana and within it's borders may be
gathered from extracts given below
and taken from the STANDARDS ex-
changes:
The people of Montana held their
election some days ago n chose a
legislature. but the republican officials
were not satisfied with the result. and
are now engaged in revising the elec-
ito with "a view tn bringing it out on
LtISII SItISs = thS Db u
verse an election for governor in West
Virginia. there is no reason why the re-
publicans may not reverse IN election
for the Legislature i'm Montana. 1t is
not u question of right, but of power.
but the party that begins this game is
usually made to pay for 1t ut the first
opportunity, and il would be good
politics for either party i'm Montana to
start honestly. IIhiadeiphia Times,
Independently
Dispatches from Helena. Montana,
indicate hat the democratic legisla-
rapidly disappearing under the manip-
ulations of the republican ca%nvassing
boards. The chairman of the republic
"a state committee has come forward
with the claim of u republican MAORI
~ of one or three Oh joint ballot, which
means that the are to reach
hat conclusion in order that two re-
publican United States senators may
he secured. The proceedings have an
ugly look, and reputable republicans
should discourage this effort tn thwart
the popular verdict. 1t may he u bad
thing for the republicans tO lose the
Senators from Montana. but it would
be u worse one for them to send men to

Four times Col. Wilbur +. Sanders
begged the people of Montana To send
him To and fou times they
refused. The first time he was beaten
by 1,233 majority and the last time he
was showed under to the tune of 3,7lS
majority. This destroyed his appetite
for political preferment, but not his
craving for office. lie wants to go to
the United States senate. The people
say no. Jack and Hall, of Butte, say
yes. Who shall decide? The people

Press.
Your correspondent was i'm receipt
to-day of another dispatch from Mon
tana, which asserts positively that that
state is sure for the democracy. 1t goes
without saying that the republican
party, rs run by Quay, Clarkson
and Dudley, will not only claim, but
will steal anything and everything
they get their hands IN. I don't think
that there can he "a doubt about the way
Montana has rome. 1t may as well be
made known tn the country now as at
any other time hat Russell Harrison,
the son of the President, has had his
"'sa lehh> lA
Montana politics. Two or three days
before the election the Russell Harrison
ring of Montana, which is composed OF
the most corrupt gang of political
desperadoes i'm the new state, were wir-
ing the White House that they would
succeed in the election. The attempt
of the republicans t. steal Montana
and n W United States senators is
deliberate and devilish. When ID was
discovered there was a chance for
fraud to he committed, "a well-known
dirty n INSCRIPTIONS politician from
Washington was dispatched to Helena.
All of his work there Is known t. your
correspondent and will he known to the
correspondence
