en-" Another bottle Of wine was opened
and after spending a pleasant evening
the party seerrorated with apparently
mutual good feeling.
The next day the Journal came ont
with a still more abusive article on
Judge Rand, of st. Paul. That even
ing when Mr.. Rand arrived at the opera
house he found it packed to the doors
with an audience of ladies and gentle
men composed of the best people of
Helena. The editor of the Journal was
at the reporters table. and Mr.. Rand
took his seat unobserved in the crowd
on the stage. After the preliminary eX-
ercIses the chairman said he had the
pleasure of introducing Judge Rand.
of Minneapolis"
The expression that came over the
editors face at this juncture is said TO
have been highly comical. He looked
about for some avenue of escape, but
the audience was sc dense that he could
find none, SO he settled down with a
look of resignation to endure what was
to come.
Ii came all right. The speaker gave
a detailed account of the affair, which
the audience enjoyed immensely, and
finally the cowboys in the gallery. re-
ferring to the editor, commenced to yell
'Put him QUIT" The result was that
the editor was finally forced to beat a
retreat. The next day he met Rand,
and the two entered into a truce, which
wa faithfully observed OH both sides
during the remainder of the campaign.

Judge Rand says there is no doubt
that the Democrats carried the legisla-
ture and elected their candidate for
governor. Even the Republicans con-
cede this, and are making the present
fight in order to cur a promise from
the Democrats that they will not repeal
the registry law.
IL
This law is very unpopular in a large
portion of the territories for the reason
miles and even farther to reach the
polls. the registry law making two trips
necessary. Such a campaign, Judge
Rand says, he never witnessed. With
less people in the territory than are
contained in Minneapolis, there were
800 speakers on the stump, and in some
of the back districts an audience
of five or ten was considered
a big one. The Montana club
room at Helena, he says, far eXcels in
magnificence anything of the kind west
of New York city. The furniture cost
$25,O0O, and the decorations are of the
most expensive character. The organ
ization is non-partisan, and about every
man of any standing in the territory is
a member. 1t is rather expensive, how
ever, as, for instance, it costs so to open
a bottle of "Green Scalp or 'POm cry
Sec"

An old sojer who is waiting anXiously
for a subordinate position in which TO
periodically serve his country yester-
day gave utterance to a bitter complaint
against the aXe-swinger of the admins
tratiOn because of his tarrying so long
in Minneapolis. Tim thought it pretty
hard that he couldn't be allowed a little
rest from the violent labor to which he
was subjected all summer long, espe-
cially as his salary was running on Just
the same. Besides, he said, he had be-
como interested in the COLON trial and
wanted to see it through. He assured
the complainant, however, that he
would make amends for the delay when
he got back to work, and so the old
sOjer went off with the dropping flower
of hope in his breast revived by this
cheering intelligence
