The office holders elect are busily en-
gagged discussing statehood. The consti-
tuition says that their "terms shall begin
when the state shall be admitted into the
union" Exceptions are made in regard
to the county treasurers and commission
ers. Whether they must wait for official
notice of the states admission remains to
be determined. The office holders here
will doubtless be guided by whatever is
done in Helena.
News of the admission of Montana was
received about 1870 II. m. today by the
TRIBUNE and soon became generally
known on the streets. 1t was II surprise

or two. The bad conduct of the canvass
ng board threw cloud over the good
Jews and caused many people to receive
t coolly. Some doubted the news, but
we're convinced when the TRIBUNE show
ID them the text of the proclamation.
There may be Il public celebration as soon
Is all the pending troubles are adjusted
n the interest of right and Justice.
