Democrats IN name, Pratpc'ioD!sts in
.BIth, The democracy Of Montana sand
before the nation group ri political
auuuch-. Emasculated of the spirit |
and yigor ofiLc party ia every other
'la;o and territory in TIE Uuion, they |
humby confess their deep degradation |
lnd ask the support Of a people whom
their Iurty would destroy, aud whom,
4 ciect'd d, they would be ppwerless to
protect
In like manner during the best part |
Df the campaign have they 0ssaiied |
and condemned the election laws
passed by arepublicsn legislature for
the prott elton and purity Of the ballot
In their wholesale denunciation OF
these wise aud beneficial measures
language almost failed them. bus It
was not long till they read from the
faces of the people, and by their acts
that ihsse laws were such as met their
approval and ith the same unblush-
ing eilrontery with which they ndopt-
I'd the protection argument, they
turned their words Of censure OF these
laws into praise and protested from
every platform and in every newspa-
per that they were in favor ofregistra
tlon and = secret ballot, and standing
thus on the edge Of the republican
platform they have howled and grim.
maced and begged for votes. Never
before in the history Of this territory
have the democracy presented such a
pitiable spectacle. Driven from every
stronghold by the stern logic OF the
republicans, they have with difficulty
maintained, the field, dcmoralized and
disorganized, trusting only TO the
prestige OF former years for victory.
Can any thinking man, after studying
the record Of the democratic party in
this campaign give II hissupport? Can
any one who has the welfare Of this
great empire OF Montana at heart vote
to place Ia power one single democrat?
We think not And while consider
asiops Of public policy demand that a.
regards the Congressional, state and
legislative ticket they should be routed
horse, foot and dragons, let every re.
publican carry the warfare down to
the humblest Office on the ticket.
Tho republ can party have presented
TO the voters OF Custer county an
uneSceptioDable ticket. There is not
man on II that does not deserve the
hearty support Of every republican in
the county. IL is not with us n race
for the spoIs oi Office, but q fight for
deliverapce from ring Of chronic Of
fee holders who hav. manipulated the
affairs Of the county for so long, and
with 40 lavish regard for themselves,
