To talk Of JOHN SHERMAN as a man whose
conduct shows that be has forgotten the

In Montana the Republican rascals have
not only stolen a State Legislature and
with il two United States senator's, but
they have so arranged matters as that the
Republicans will be able to keep the
"stOlen goods" in spite of the order of
the court which has the case under con-
sideration. In other words, that court is
to be treated with contempt. The State
canvassing- board met on Monday last and
counted the vote Of Silver Bow county for
members of the lowor house Of the Legs-
lature as the local board of that county
had counted it-namely. for tho Republi-
cans. This result was obtained by throwing
out the vote OF Tunnel precinct, which, if
II had been counted, would have given the
Democrats ten out OF the eleven dele
gates from Silver Bow county. But
the Republicans are determined not TO
obey the order of the court if that order
shall be that the votes at Tunnel precinct
must be counted. This order will be issued
to-day. if at all, and will be addressed to
the local or county canvassing- board, aud
not TO the State canvassing- board and
30 the State board will not consider itself
bound to respect the order. Moreover. the
Secretary of State will issue certificates of
election to all the Republican claimants.
and thus render Of no effect the certificate
of the county clerk, who will certify that
there were elected in Silver Bow county
cen Democrats and only one Republican.
IL may be taken for granted that the
bogus House thus constituted will exclude
the Democratic members from Silver Bow
county and seat the Republican members.
If they seat all the Republican claimants
the Republicans will have only SIX major-
~. whereas il the Democratic claimants
are all seated the Democrats will have a
larger majority than the ono claimed by
the Republicans. In other words, If the
Democrats Will stand up for their rights
they will either get them or compel tho
President of the United States 10 come TO
abe assistance Of the swindling Repubh-
cans. Surprising that the House Of Dele
gates consists Of 100 members and that SO
of these arc Republicans and AZ of them
Democrats according 20 the Re
publican count. il is plain that
If the AZ Democratic acknowledged
unite with the ten Democrats holding GER
tifeates from the Clerk of Silver Bow
county they will have 81 members as
against IS Republicans. But as 81 mem.
bers will constitute a quorum. there will
be two rival houses. each having q quo
ram. What will RESULT Why OF course
the Republican Senate will recognize the
Republican House and thus afford Presi-
dent HARRISON ar excuse for recognizing
the same House as having been regularly
elected and organized. But, as we have
animated, the Democrats ought to claim
their rights and not yield until the Presi-
dent interposes in favor Of the Republi-
cans.
In the presence Of such outrages rs y ,se

1t is stated that since the Cars return
10 ST. Petersburg he has again fallen under
the influence of the Pan-Slavists and the
war party and that the good effect pro-
duced upon his mind by the conciliatory
arguments OF BISMARCK has been entirely
dssipated This would seem 10 argue that
there is some truth in the assertion that
ALEXANDER is man of moods; indeed 1t
would seem TO argue that he is a very
weak man. However certain it is that the
Iron Chancellor during the Cars visit TO
Berlin scored another vindication Of his
declaration that Germany desires peace
and added to tho weight Of moral influence
that would be behind the German empire
