A mOmenr- reflection upon tie po-
litical situation iu Montana at present
will mske It appear doubly apparent
why It absolutely pecesssry for every
republican voter OF this county IN stick
close TO his ticket upon the dag of the
election, which is the day after to-mor-
row. We are about TO enter contest
which we have reason to believe will
be more vigorously waged by the en-.
envy in this territory than any hereto
fore. The governorship. legislature.
representation 10 the national house
and senate, all hang upon the result.
Indeed il ia not improbable but that
the way the cat jumps in Montana
this year will largely determine re.
suits In the next election to the presi.
dency. Montana Il the keystone state
of the new galaxy. The Influence she
will exercise upon the adjoining new
states will be the one which IL TO de-
termine whether or not the big four
are to be solid republican or solid dem
ocraiic. The managers Of the demo-
cratic party recognize this. and they
are preparing IN meet IL. They pro.
pose during the legislative campail n
sending into this territory one OF their
most aggressive and effective orators
upon the stump and their prince
among campaign managers, who IL to
run the campaign in this territory for
the democrats. The deceased Barnum
was not surerior to Arthur p. German
es a manager OF q campaign and Sun.
set Cox il conceded to be one of their
abl st men on the stump. They may
not even stop here but will perhaps
send more gentlemen of this charac-
ter into the territory to beIp them out.
The fact that none Of this force is be-
ing thrown into Washington or the
two Dakolss, Is significant Of much,
for II means that the national demo-
cratic party regard Montana ss the
battle ground where the contest OF the
northwest states must be fought.
The most effective organization will
therefore be sought and secured In
party lines, and democratic cam.
paign will be conducted of such kind
as this territory has never seen before;
for these men don't ride 5000 miles for
nothing. Such. therefore, being the
condition Of affairs, It becomes neces-
ssry that every republican should now
wheel in line and keep there. Every
citizen should be member of one
party or the other In order that he
might properly exercise the right of
franchise, which Is one of the most
important incidents Of citizenship.
The republican party has demon-
strated not alone to Montana but to
the whole nation that the principles
which control IL are Of the most bene-
fit to the nations welfare and IL con-
seluently has the largest number of
followers. Every man, therefore. who
republican should be clearly one
at present. This election is just the
sharp shooting along the skirmish
line; the mschlne guns will be put in
action later on. but IL Is part of the
battle just the same; ana everyone
should don his uniform and have his
colors up.
While II Ia not the intention Of the
people at large to make the constitu-
tion party Institution, yet there will
be divers questions which will arise In
the course of the making of 1t, where
strict party lines will be drawn, just
as il frequently happens in Legislative
bodies where IL is no more designed by
the people at large that the laws shall
bear the impress OF party than the
constitution, but when these occasion,
do arise II will be seen that II the dem
ocrats are In majority they will dc
all they can to operate iu such q way
a. to strengthen their cause In Oh,
fall contest. We want congregation
