AMONG THE POLITICIANS
REPUBLICAN, OPINIONS OF THE
NOMINATION OF r. @. POWER.

They Declare It Means Defeat of the Re-
publican Ticket-His Hostility to the
Cascade County BilI-News from the
County Conventions = The Nominees.
GREAT FAILS, NJ. T., August "a. Especial
10 The Miner by the Rocky Mountain Tele-
graph Line. 1.-The nomination OF 7. G.
Power is received with marked disiavor
here. The Republicans are either cold or
absolutely hostile. 1t is recalled that two
years ago, when Republicans and Demo-
Gratis demanded unitedly that this new
county be formed, T. G. Power bitterly op-
posed the scheme, and for a time defeated
it. He renewed his opposition at the
special session OF 1887 without avail, for
the Cascade county bill was passed by a
substantial majority.
While the bill was still before the legisla-
ture, Power wrote against it an atrocious
letter which he had published in Helena.
Referring to that letter the "Tribune''
says:
"The opposition are on tbe run. They
have placed at the head OF their ticket
man who is odious to the people ofCascade
county, the banner county which held the
balance of power in the May election. They
have chosen from all their veterans the
author OF the infamous Sun River letter. a
letter written by Thomas G. Power. with
the avowed purpose OF dissuading the Mon
tana legislature from granting home rule to
Cascade county when, in the special session
OF 1887, our people asked the legislature to
give US their assurance OF the boon OF sep
arate county government.
The words OF that letter have burned
deeply into tie minds OF the people OF Cas-
cade Republicans, as well as Democrats,
and will lose Power the votes OF most of
his own party in this county.
1.-The Sun river letter will do more than
that. 1t will lose Thomas G. Power the
support OF good broadminded men through
out Montana. In it Thomas G. Power de-
famed the people OF Cascade county, de-
clared that we were not entitled. to separ-
ate county government, denounced the at
tempt to secede from Choteau on an in
famous scheme to sell town lots.
This letter, so characteristic Of Thomas
c. Power, 40 narrow, 80 bitter, so wanton,
that, we repeat it, when the circumstances
become known, 1T will lose Power the sup
port OF liberal men OF all parties"

Glover for Hega,

More and more is being said about
the value OF clover for swine, and we
ara glad to see it. In our boyhood days
clover was a standby for stock Of all
kinds, and it was a good standby. It
was the chief supports Of the mich COW.
the food upon which the pigs grew,
and the hay and pasture for the horses.
In the West it has not won the place in
popular esteem that it deserves. In
some sections where it can be grown
with success it is still thought that it
will not grow. Within a year we have
been told that clover would not do
well in Minnesota, and yet some of the
most thrifty clover we ever saw we
found In Minnesota last summer, There
is no other grass grown of equal merit
Pigs make splendid growth upon 1t,
and swine relish cut and steamed or
cooked clover hay greatly. Clover
makes growth. 1t makes muscle, and
that is what we want in hogs. The
time is now here when the man who
can give us the most eatable pork will
be a benefactor, and when his benefac-
ton will pay. The production of more
lean, eatable meat in hogs is whaI
we want. National Stockman.

The House and the Flock.

1t may never have occurred to some
that the capacity of a poultry-house
depends not entirely upon the number
of hens in a flock. but on the size Of
the hens. A house that will afford
ample accommodations for a dozen
Brahmas will permit of its use by
eighteen or twenty Leghorns. There
is quite a difference in the size of the
large and small breeds, and the roosts
of the small ones may be placed higher
up if desired. While the Brahmos
may require more Don in the house,
the Leghorns should have more yard
room, as they are more active and re-
quire a larger area Of ground over
which to forage .-Mirror and Farmer.
