Reduced Votes Expected in Both yell
lowstone and Custer Counties al
Tuesdays Election.
Democratic Cowboys Disfrsnchised,
While kidg'oved Republicans do
the Registering and Voting.
Toole and Maginnis all Right. with Dem
oeratic Gains all Along the
Line.

BILLINGS, Sept. Special TO the In
dependent Ito forecast the political
prospects of Yellowstone county is like
every other county in the territory, a task
by no means easy. Yet with all fairness
the democratic party has every reason TO
expect gains in this county. AT the last
election Carter's majority was 1876. while it
is generally conceded this year that the
republican majority, If any, will be less
than 100. The republican party in this
county is composed Of men who have more
OF less time at their disposal to devote to the
interests of their party, while the democratic
party is made up of the labOring clRss, who
must needs devote their time 10 their daily
labor, thus making the democratic party
heavily handicapped. IL is safe to say that
there will be no democratic vote for the re-
publican candidates on the state ticket and
with the excellent material for county Of
ficers there is no reason TO believe that any
scratching of that portion of tie ticket will
be done. The republicans, however, are
somewhat divided on the county
ticket, as the nominations were
not all made on the merits of the va
rious candidates for nomination, but by the
machination of the party leaders.
The democratic party receives a severe
blow at the hands OF the republican off,
cials. who have had charge of the registrs-
tion. as well as the county officers, TO whom
the registration agents and judges of cleo
ton have been compelled to look for infor-
nation as 10 the legal points of the regis
tration law. the instructions given having
never failed in working to the dissdvan-
tage of the democrats when possible, with
out being too apparent On the whole the
outlook for the democratic ticket is far
better than at any time since the division
OF this county from Custer county. Every
indication in this county seem to point to
surprise to the republicans who, though
working night and day, wear the confident
look of victory. Every means available is
being used TO advance the interests of the.
democratic cause, both by 10y al democrats
as well as candidates for office, who never
lose an opportunity to work for the good
of the party in general, while .paking an
individual canvass and with the gratifying
result.

He fattered the ''plain" people and said
that it did him good TO talk to them Instead
of the crowds of the city. One of the

dldste for the Senate. Sanders did not
seem TO like this ailusioD, and be denied il
IN toto. The first sp-aser's truthful sllu
sion seemed to cast q cloud on the meeting,
and the twenty men in the audience went
home determined to vote against the repuh-
lican legislative ticket il il was but an en-
dorsement Of Sanders's candidacy.
