HELENA, Mont, Correspondence of the
LEADER, Aug. 20, 1889.-The Republican
County Convention of last Saturday gave
to the people Of Lewis and Clarke No.
ticket of representative men. All of
the present republican incumbents were
renominated. Among the new county
offices created by the constitution is that
OF judge and the convention nominated
w. II. Hunt, Esq, for the position.
Among the leading attractions of the
state fair, which commences in Helena
next Monday, will be the dog display.
The
DOG FANCIERs OF HELENA
are doing all they can to make the show
a grand success. Mr.. Theo. Gibson Of
Great Falls is member of the board Of
trustees. The other great attraction will
be the display of candidates for state and
county offices. It is not intended by the
management that this new feature of
agricultural display will in any way in
terfere with the exhibit Of dogs or other
animals, US they will be properly label
ed The republican county platform is a
RINGER Or THE FIRST PATTERN
and has already caused a general kick
among the democratic revolutionists.
Col. Sanders, Col. Bodkin and Judge
Hedges are said to be the authors of the
resolves. As the platform was not drawn
up for the convenience of the revolution
lists their kick is only conclusive evidence
that the honest people endorse it. The
Ananias Of the Great Falls Bladder was
here
CANv.ASsING FOR DOODLE
on Saturday. He is reported to have Sc
cured enough to carry on the campaign in
Cascade county. Looking over the pages
of the Merchants hotel register a few
days ago the following name appears
among the arrivals:-W. II. Todd, CD.
BIZ Fort Benton. What "D. b." meant
after the name Todd was a puzzler
and the hotel clerk said he had orders not
to explain. If the matter had been
brought up in the constitutional conven'
tion before adjournment the offensive
letters I'D. B." might have
BEEN ORDERED ERASED
and the word "paid" substituted. Nc
doubt the legislature next fall will attend
to the matter. The Helena Independ
