THE political code which prevails in
Helena approaches something of the
black flag method. Thus the Independ-
emit says: "There was bitter fight waged
in the Fourteenth district, Hershfield's
friends knitting Maginnis, but without
avail, as Martin got there as he usually
does with both feet" The conservative
Herald is not shocked in the least at this
departure from the ways which prevailed
at Last Chance gulch in the good days of
old. 1t says: GAS Messrs. Hershfield
and Maginnis were on opposite tickets,
did not Martin expect to be "knified" by
the republicans? The vote in this dis
trict however, shows that there was a lit
tie knitting going on" We adjure Hell
ena before it is too late to quit her evil
ways and conduct elections in the open,
manly way by which Gibson and Collins
were placed at the head of the POLL Our
method is not patented. 1t is simply to
nominate strong, popular men and rely
on the people, not on Doodle OF intimida-
ton. Let Helena consider the fate of
the Cities of the Plain and reform. The
politician who would "knife' Maginnis
must be hard case. The major himself
would not knife wolf except in open
warfare and then he would use rifle.

VICTORY!

Cascade county made known her de
cision clearly and emphatically at the
polls yesterday. She has elected by IL
large majority Paris Gibson and I. b.
Collins as delegates to the convention
which will meet on the Fourth of July to
frame a constitution for the state of Mon
tana. In accordance with the minority
system, Charles NJ. Webster, the republi-
can candidate, is also elected, and will,
we are confident, cooperate heartily with
Messrs. Gibson and Collins in securing
for Montana constitution that will be
envied by the older states, which are pre-
vented by conservatism from embodying
many desirable provisions In their funda-
mental law. d.
The significance Of this victory is great.
The contest was clear, stand up fight
between democracy and republicanism.
The issue here was not obscured by per
sonal or party issues of temporary char
acter. The voters were called upon to
say whether they would entrust the franz
ing of the constitution to the party under
whose legislative care Montana has
grown and hourished since she took her
place among the great northwestern ter
ritories. The people have answered here
and elsewhere in the affirmative. They
have reversed the verdict of last Novem-
Der, when 1rritated or deluded democratic
voters struck at their own party in re-
venge for acts for which the Cleveland
administration was solely and personally
responsible.
In this county the republican party
entered the campaign flushed with hopes
of success, inspired by the large influx OF
new settlers from republican states or ter
ritories. They controlled the county ad
ministration and numbered in their ranks
men Of undoubted ability, energy and
popularity who worked zealously for
Charles M. Webster who enjoys deserved
popularity among both democrats and
republicans. Despite their supposed adj
vantages the republicans are defeated and
Gibson and Collins head the poll by ma
jority which may attain a round two hun
bred when all the returns are in. "
There is no disposition on the part oil
democrats to eXult over opponents or tc
cause them discomfort. In the conven
ton the democratic majority will use
their power temporarily and generously
They will strive to prevent partlzanshir
on the part of opponents rather thaft
practice 1t themselves. They will make
a fair apportionment because such will
be just and right Us we'll as expedient
They will trust the people and in sc
doing they will be upheld by all liberia
republicans as we'll as bytheir own party

THERE were ten different ways or COM
binations in which votes could have been
cast yesterday 1t is all nonsense to as
sumo that any ciphering can detract from
the popular and democratic victory. 1t
is notorious that many democrats voted
for Webster out of friendship although
his election was sure. If such votes were
deducted from his the greatness of the
victory would be still more apparent,

THE NET RESULT,

LII II w ltDoG
THERE are good many Montana pre-
cincts to hear from but the latest returns
do not shake our assertion that the demo.
Gratis will control the convention and
have working majority therein.
The Helena republicans concede that
the convention will be composed Of 3S
democrats, 35 republicans, one labor and
one independent delegate. The one in
dependent is S. +. Ralston, an old-time
democrat who ran independently in the
north Lewis and Clark district and is sup
posed to be elected instead of Robert s.
Ford. He will doubtless act with demo-
Gratis which would give the party an even
40. Aid may also may be expected from
Peter Breen if he truly represents the in
terests of labor-the ticket on which he
was elected by a compromise which gave
each party delegate in the s1st district,
composed of parts of Jefferson and Silver
Bow. Looking over the battle field we
find that the democracy carried Is dis
tricts which are as follows:
No.2 Choteau. y.yo &c.,.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. MAY 10. 1889.
Sc M WEEKLY
THE VICTORY.

THE magnitude of the victory on Tues
day may be better realized when it is con
sidered that Montana which had served
but once in 25 years from the democratic
standard went republican last year, Civ
ing Carter plurality of 5,126. Since
then the republican administration had
come into office and it was suggested
that Montana should take care to worship
the golden calf of power aud patronage.
Governor Leslie had been removed to
make way for republican successor.
The machine changed every office it
could from territorial secretary down to
mail agent A republican organ was
started in Helena, and Inter Mountain
Read from his eyrie at Butte proclaimed
the establishment of home rule and the
dawn of a new era.
But all this did not avail. In Choteau
where the democratic majority was cut
down last fall to 1922, Conrad and Browne
had on Tuesday walk over. In our
own Cascade county the republican ma
jority of 26 gives way to democratic
plurality ranging from IT'S to 800 accord
ing to comparisons with the Webster OF
Mckay republican vote. .
Deer Lodge county which gave Carter
I'LL majority sends five democratic and
three republican delegates to the eonven-
ton, while Gallatin county which gave
Clark only 81 plurality gives the demo-
cratic delegates large majority, swelled
by heavy vote in Bozemau, the home Of
republlcanism and prohibition, which
was stormed and carried by the democrat
ic candidates. Old Jefferson proves
worthy of her name, for she more than
reverses her 1859 majority in 1888. In
Lewis and Clarke, which Carter carried
by 515, two districts went democratic and
two republican. Meagher, which gave
Carter 157, now wheels into line in the
democratic column, while Missoula,
which was carried by Carter by 678 ma
jority, elects three democrats and three
republicans-a "stand off" Silver Bow,
where w. A. Clark was in command,
smashed her republican idols all to
pieces and sends democrats from each of
her four districts, although last year, the
Maynard sister, at the instlgation OF the
devil and Read, gave 1888 majority to
Carter. The victory is great but as Dele
gate Collins said it will benefit the whole
people, for there must be no politics in
the convention.

THE convention will be under demo-

good fighting trim, and that the leaders
are again united. The party is also
united and as such is invincible.
