The Montana Outrage.

80
The action of Governor Toole. of Mon
tana, in taking possession of the legislative
halls and in deciding who shall enter them
is about as high-handed an outrage as has
been perpetrated by any Southern Demo
cratic bulldozer. The only recent parallel
in a Northern State occurred in Indiana in
1887. when the Democrats excluded p le-
gally elected Republican Lieutenant
governor in order tocontrol the Legislature
and choose a United States Senator. The
situation has also some of the features of
the attempted Garcelon steal in Maine in
1880. Governor Toole's attempt to make a
whole returning board of himself will be
condemned by every fair-minded person.
President Harrison might as~well attempt
to place guards at the doors of Congress
and say who hal enter. No Governor of a
State has any right to interfere with the
composition of a legislature. This is the
~prerOgative of the Legislature alone. The
general public has no other desire than to
see the Montana controversy settled right
ly. but it will unsparingly condemn this
attempt of Governor Toole TO introduce
b~ulld0zing methods of the South into the
politics of a new State.

Behold. behold the palms," we cried;

In madness OF desire.
