"THE OLD WAR HOSS." !"

Colonel Wilbur F. Sanders, ''the old
Republican war hoss," expects to be q
United States Senator from the state Of
Montana should such q calamity as the
election Of a Republican legislature be
the result Of our first state election. But
the Colonel has grave doubts and fears
about such calamity, as he burned no
bridges behind him when he gave public
notice that he had resigned his position
as attorney for the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company for the purpose of trying
to secure a seat in the United States SEN
ate, where, In an enlarged capacity, he
could serve that company better, and,
therefore, draw bigger salary on the
side. In his speech delivered in Turner
Hall in this city on Wednesday evening,
the Colonel didn't as much as intimate
that the senatorial bee was buzzing in
his bonnet, but, on the contrary, he tried
to impress upon his hearers, that no
where from "the low plains Of Dawson
county to the towering Ceur d'Alenes"
did pride and unselfish patriotism rankle
with such vehemence as within his
own sacred and unselfish breast. And
when the Colonel let himself down the
dizzy ladder Of oratory he was seized |
with a violent ct of humor which
found expression in his declaration that
should there be any cause to turn his
back on the Republican party he would
not only gladly do 90 himself but also
that he would assist his hearers In the
turning act, IL alone they should be un-
able to perform the evolution. That the
solonel is gifted man no one that knows
him win deny, but he has not been po-
itinIlspccsss. Four times, at least, he
las been q candidate for Office, and four |
ilnes at least. he has been defeated. Too

From the New North West, which journal
we must have hit rather hard, judging
from the way it bellows: Our esteemed
though hysterical contemporary, the Butte
MINER, is not satisfied with the quality OF
mental pabulum afforded through the edi-
torial columns OF the New North. West.
This is unfortunate. This paper is especi-
ally designed to maet the commendation of
journalistic thugs OF the bourbon pursua-
sion, and if The MINER is displeased an
immediate change will be inaugurated in
our editorial conduct. A failure to recog-
nize the alleged transcendent genius Of that
paper, however, will not constitute valid
reason for revolutionizing our editorial
fierce. The new editor OF The MINER is ad.
monishej to keep on his shirt, il he wears
a shirt. He may not last very long him.
self. Once for all. the New Northwest re-
fuses to enter into personal quarrel with
TIE MINER. Our space is too limited and
our time too valuable to waste on the
senile rawlings OF a paper whose editorial
columns are compilation OF borrowed
drivel and prehistoric platitudes. We are
after bigger game. We are done.

NO. USE FOR THE WELSH.

The st. Dayid's club of this city Is a
Republican organization of Welshmen
with membership of 480. As the Re
publican convention failed to recognize
the Welsh citizens in the selection of
candidates, and as there are five vacan-
cies on the Republican ticket to be sup
piled, st. David's very properly presented
the name Of MIR. Thomas Richards to the
county central committe to fill ore OF the
vacancies on the Legislative ticket, and
the said committee very improperly de-
cided that it would not even consider the
matter. How do the Welshmen of Butte
like that sort Of recognition Will st.
David's deposit its 4SO votes to the credit
of a party that SO peremptorily tells its
delegation to shut up?

MP eoEs THE SPONGE.

Thomas G. Power, the Republican can
didate for governor, I'm his speech de-
liyered at Turner hall, in this city, last
Wednesday evening, had the candor 70
admit that the Republican outlook In
Montana is far from encouraging. Mr.
Power knows in his own heart that his
party does not deserve to succeed and ne
knows that Republicanism was never 80
weak and Democracy 80 strong as 1t is to-
day In Montana. Mr.. Power has been
canyassing the territory, and his long and
intimate acquaintance with its political
conditions, entitle him to Q hearing, and
clothe his words with the force OF GER
tainty. And, moreover, he Is at the head
of the Republican ticket and he is also q
millionaire. Hear him at Turner hall.
After expressing the pleasure he feltI
upon being greeted by such a large and
enthusiastic audience, he added: TO
insure success I wish I could say the
same of all localities" But he could not,
80 there upon the platform in Turner hall
he virtually threw up the sponge. Mr.
Power was also honest lin disclaiming
any and all pretensions to being public
speaker. If he hadn't made the last ad-
mission the Inter Mountain Of this city.
would be In danger Of libel suit as
that journal published his speech in full
without revision. Mr.. Power, as gen.
tleman, may be all that his most ardent
admirers claim for him but every voter in
Montana, who has sufficient intelligence
to vote intelligently, knows that the first
governor Of Montana should be little
higher in the scale Of culture, speech and
craftsmanship than Mr.. Power, and every
such voter has pride enough to demand
1t. That man Is the Hon. ]. K. Toole. a
man who is, at least, Mr.. Powers equal
in every particular-bank accounts ex-
cepted-and his superior in every ele-
ment Of craftsmanship that the guberna-
torial Office demands. J. K. Toole is a
scholar, q man of profound erudition, ex-
psrience. skilled and comprehensive in
craftsmanship, and man whose worth |
and qualifications alone appeal to the |
suffrage Of his fellow-citizens Of Mon
tana. The Office sought MIR. Toole, and he |
will be the next governor Of Montana by |
an overwhelming majority. We have
naught to say against Mr.. Powers busi-
ness or private character. That he is |
shrewd business man is best evidenced
by the fact that he has amassed prince |
ly fortune. Indeed he is the Republican |
candidate only because Of the size Of his |
bar'l and Of his known willingness to

miles; from Monida, forty miles. The upper
part of the Centennial valley is sometimes
called Red Rock lake, as there are two
quite large lakes there. This valley has
been settled abopt dVe years, there being,
however, only two or three settlers at that
time. Within the last two years, upwards
OF forty different families have located here
and taken up ranches. I think the Oldest
settler is Mr.. John Marble. Among the
others who now reside in the valley are

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

We have carefully studied the Repub
lican state platform adopted at Anacon
da, and have endeavored to relieve it, al
far as possible, of Pathological rhetoric
antiquities, and other nonsense, SO as tt
present it to our readers. The salien1
features of the platform:
|. A man is not a man unless he is {
Republican.
III. Twist the lions tail just for th'
fun Of it.
ILL., We condemn Cleveland because
on his accession, he found no merchant
marine to encourage. 1t was lost during
Robeson's reign of the seas.
~. We indorse Corporal Tanner, com
missioner of pensions, and will assist
him in discovering bounty jumpers and
other people to receive the government
bounty who are not entitled to it.
Y. If the Workingman doesn't like oul
position we will fOrtify it with Gatling
guns and Pinkerton rifles. President
Harrison recommended it during labol
strikes in the East and it was effective
in the coal regions of Pennsylvania.
vi. Secretary Window is not an ar.
dent friend to silver and we therefore
postpone its consideration indefinitely.
VII. We recommend that the Indians
be compelled to give up their reserva.
tions. that the public domain be thus ex-
tended to further jobbery with some
great land syndicate, hereafter to be
formed.
WILL We point with the index finger
of pride to the fact that President Har-
rison appointed Montana men to fill
Montana Offices, when he knew that they
would only have few days to serve. We
will make it tell in this campaign, for
the people are fools.
TX, We condemn the Cleveland ad-
ministration for ousting Republican
postmasters.
X. We condemn that administration
because it found no money in the ma
tional treasury to survey the public do
main.
XI., By fostering the growth Of trusts,
diminishing the number of sheep, and
increasing the population, mutton is a
luxury and wool is wool. The Republi-
can wool manufacturers of the East have
called convention to urge "free WOOL"
but don't give that away.
XII. Wages have not advanced, but be
OF good cheer.
XIII. There has been no new law re-
specting the admission of Mexican lead,
but owing to the efforts of a Democratic
press and for campaign purposes, the law
has been enforced.
XIV. We don't give a continental for
craftsmanship for we own the country.
XE. We indorse Harrison because he
is Republican and bis son is a member
If our household.
XVI. We will welcome all immigrants
f they will vote the Republican ticket
Chinese preferred for they work cheap,
Ind we will vote them in body
ater on.
XVII. We denounce the Democrats in |
he late constitutional convention be-
ause there were too many Of them.
XVIII. We believe in a plethoric treas
Try as convenience to Republican Of
and therefore recommend |
he taxation of everything in sight.
XIX. We commend ourselves to the

you say he is not, it might be well to ex
plain why President Harrison and the
other members OF his cabinet, all Of
whom are bubbling over with love fol
silver, don't happen to have any infu.
ence with Secretary Window. There is
no necessity to wait for additional con.
gressional legislation on the silver ques'
tion, for there is evidently too much now
to suit the Republican administration,
What we want now is for the executive
branch of the government to do that
which it has the legal right to do, i. e.,
to coin 100000 silver dollars month,
Mr.. Harrison may have said II believe in
the doctrine of bi-metalism," but he eyi-
IDENTIFY doesn't believe in its adoption.
He could cause 100000 silver dollars to
be coined every month. and the fact that
he doesn't leads us to question the sin
eerity of his belief.
Summary: According to the Inter
Mountain Secretary Window is not an
ardent admirer Of silver.
President Harrison could very easily
find man to succeed Secretary Windem
who is an ardent admirer of silver, and
who would coin 100000 silver dollars a
month, if he would look for him. If such
3 man couldn't be found In the Rspnbli-
can party of the east, he might wire THE
MINER for a Montana Democrat.
At any time within the last fifteen
years the Republican party could have
advanced the cause of silver, but at no
lime has it done it.
The road to hell is paved with good in
enti0ns. ....-
