Great Falls tribune., 1889-08-31
THE STATE TICKET.

All honor to the Anaconda convention
which has given us as leaders Toole, Con
rad and Maginnis! All honor to the vet
Grams, as we'll as the rank and file, who
all acted in harmony for the greatness
and glory Of the noble state of Montana.
Joseph X. Toole will make creditable
governor and will administer the affairs
of his high office for the common benefit
of all Montana, regardless of party lines.
He is Montanlan to the core. He is in
the prime of life and has served with dis
tinction two terms as delegate to the
United States congress. He is of good
presence and an able speaker. He is in
full sympathy with Young Montana and
has the energy and capacity to render the
governorship powerful lever in advanc-
| ing the welfare of Montana. .......
Hon. ]. II. Conrad, from the great
county of Custer, which is almost state
in extent, is allied with the solid inter-
ests of Montana. He is well qualified to
preside over the state senate and will re-
ceive the hearty support Of Cascade and
Choteau counties, with which his family
are honorably connected as merchants
and property owners. ". +" '#..
Martin Maginnis of Montana is dear to
us all-soldiers Of the union, old-timers
and new settlers. His name on tile tick
ct evokes unbounded enthusiasm and
recalls the successive victories which he
won as the standard-bearer Of the Mon
tana democracy in the hard-fought CON
tests from 1872 to 1882. His reputation
for eloquence is national. His love for
Montana is ardent. His friendship for
his comrades in the civil war is as un-
wavering as the polar star. His knowl-
edge of Montana's resources and capabil-
tiles is as broad as the Missouri at
Great Falls. He comes from the constitr-
tional convention with more honors on
his already overladen brow and will now
be elected by an immense majority to
promote the interests of Montana in the
United States Congress.

The judiciary and legal nominations
are admirable. Judge DeWolfe Of Silver
Bow, who has an honorable record as jur-
ist and citizen, will haye worthy associ
ates in w. A. Bckford Of Missoula and
f. K. Armstrong Of Gallatin. They will
poll the full party vote and receive many
independent and republican votes as we'll.
The choice of the silver-tongued orator
and sound lawyer, w. Y. Pemberton, for
attorney general is excellent and will meet
the approval OF the bench and bar, as we'll
as the people at large. 4. F. Cope of
Madison will make competent, efficient
clerk Of the supreme court. @G. "9

The executive departments will be well
filed. Hon. yoseph A. Browne is an old
timer of the best type. He has served in
the legislature and is well known and
esteemed throughout the state. The
nomination of Hon. Jerry Collins for
state treasurer is compliment which
Cascade and the other north Montana
counties will appreciate. He served the
people faithfully as councilman and will
do so as state treasurer. As working
journalist he has done much for all Mon
tana and especially for Cascade and Cho-
:eau' counties. North Montana whose
claims were so flagrantly disregarded on
the republican ticket will roll up big
majority for Jerry Collins who is popu=
lar throughout the state. The state audi
torship is very appropriately confided to
7. B. Fitzgerald who will be an able, eff
cient officer, while the duties of super
intendent of instruction will be discharg-
ed creditably by J. r. Russell. The
ticket is good from the top to the bottom
and will carry the state. --L-z=-5
