~ IL TWIN
While the platform adopted by Til
Democrats of Silver Bow county Is not
lengthy document, 1t Is long enough and
broad enough for all practical purposes
and is very terse and substantial, and one
that The MINER can confidently com
mend to the electors of the county.
Just recognition is accorded the Hon.
Joseph K. 'Toole for his untiring efforts
in behalf of statehood for Montana. and
the Northwest territories.
The new constitution is commended,
not because it is aperfect instrument, but
because, In the main, it embraces those
points essential to Montana statehood;
because it makes statehood possible.
1t commends the national Democratic
administration for the restoration Of
millions of acres to the people Of the
country.
1t arraigns the Republican party for
its well-known hostility to the silver in
terests of the west, and for its legisla-
ton favorable to trusts and syndicates.
1t commends the constitution for
ordering a new election for county
officers, and justly condemns the "parti-
a manner in which the Republican
officials Of Silver Bow county have taken
advantage Of the provisions Of the regis
tration law" to manipulate the registry
in the interest of INSCRIPTIONS men.
The entire document, in fact, is de-
of careful study, in that it sue
states the Democratic position
and is not weighted down with senseless
and needless yerbiage.

ALI the western people are not in favor
of Chicago as the place for the worlds
fair, it seems. Russell B. Harrison, to
New York Mail and Express" reporter
the other day, expressed the decided
opinion that New York was the place Of
all places for such an exhibition; that
other countries would not attend if they
had to transfer freight from the ocean
vessels to cars; and that it would not be
a success without the foreign element.
But it is possible that Russell B. does not
longer consider himself a "Westerner,"
now that he is one of the owners of one
or two New York journals. And yet he is
to run Montana politics, this fall.

THE COUNTY X

The nominations made by the count,
Democratic convention Monday com.
mend themselves to the voters of Silver
Bow county for their superiority il
strength and fitness to those made by thu
Republicans. The nominations were all
made in open convention, and are the re.
suit Of no ring selection or secret caucus.
Every man on the ticket is a tried and
true Democrat, who has been known to
every n in this community for years,
and is in every essential fitted for the
position which he has been chosen by the
party to I'LL.
d. J. Hennessy, who has been nomi-
mated for state senator, Is one of the fit
test nominations that could be made.
One Of our most successful and enter
prising merchants, of unimpeachable
honor and integrity, he has lived, during
his residence here, an honorable anu use
full life in this community. No man is
more alive than he to the wants and in.
terests Of Silver Bow county, and he will
bring to the consideration of these mat |
tors In the state senate the sagacity and
trained business qualifications of a man
Of affairs.
The legislative ticket is equally unex-
c~eptionable. 1t is most essentially a rep
re%sentatiye MISUNDERSTANDING of the
varied interests that are part and parcel
of the life Of this, the most important
county Of the state that is to be. The
mining, the mercantile, the capital
lists and the workingmen are there rep
resented by men of practical business
ideas and u~npretending ability.
John j. Mediation will make a district
Judge of unimpeachable integrity and
sound legal training, of blameless pri- '
Vate life and unblemished reputation. !
An Industrious lawyer, he will make a Z
|ust judge, against whose rulings no t
'avil can be urged on the ground of par G
.iality or ignorance Of law.
Eugene D. Sullivan has had the expe-
fence Of n official term already to n
rove his qualifications for the duties Of c
heriff. YigilaRt in their execution, Il
Vatchfui and just to the charge imposed n
him, there need be no apprehension Of h
ny jail breaks while he holds the office. o

1t is thought an extra session of con-

What is the need of this extra session?
1t is an expense that is totally uncalled
for. But then, there is that big surplus
in the national treasury gnawing at the
Republican vitals, and anything to get
rid Of the surplus and keep up the tariff.

IL Is unnecessary to enlarge upon tht
qualifications Of Charles F. Booth for til.
important Office Of clerk and recorder
Ills party can point to the thorough
order and discipline Of his Office while hi
has held 1t, while thousands can testify
to the courtesy and untiring assiduity
with which they have been treated at all
times. Mr.. Booth has made a model
officer and presides over a model Office
that has no superior and few equals in
any state or territory in the Union.
Harry Hynes is a young man whose
training eminently fits him for the re-
sponsible duties Of assessor. Industry,
sobriety and integrity are good recon-
mendations for the position, and he will
bring to the discharge of the duties a
reputation for honesty without blemish.
John T. Baldwin ranks high among the
members Of the bar for sound legal at
tainments and answering honesty, two
qualifications pre-eminently desirable in
q county attorney. He belongs to no cor
poration, and will stoop to no compro-
mise with l~awbreakers. In the prOsecu-
tion Of criminal offenders, the people
will have no reason to complain of laxity
in maintaining the side of law and
order.
Miss Medin will make an. admirable
superintendent of schools. She is a ma
tive of Nevada, and has finished her edu-
cation In Germany, which is a guarantee
Of the broad culture she possesses. Under
her supervision, the schools of this county
will take q front rank for the breadth
and soundness of their teaching.
Will L. Clark is admirably qualified by
his training and associations for clerk of
the district court. His administration of
Office since his appointment proves
that no filter man can be elected to that
The selections for county commission

;iny. Messrs. McQueeney, Caplice and

Mr.. Nissler has many friends who believe
he would make an honorable and in

another scare, last night, and had it moi
been for the vigilance of q couple
OF private watchmen would, in al
probabilities have succeeded. Even
though foiled in his attempt, he gave
ample evidence OF being possessed OF a more
than ordinary amount OF cunning and dar.
ing as the chances he took were not slight.
For some reason, however. he saw at to
change the time to do his work and instead
OF waiting for l o'clock as usual, he began
his nightly illumination at the more rea-
sonable hour OF 11:3O. Perhaps he was
sleepy and out and wanted to retire
earlier than usual, or else he started the
fire just to show that he could work with
equal skill and facility at any hour he saw
His attempt to burn a building last night,
was made in Mackie & Co. q carpenter shop
in the rear OF Thibault's saloon and al
most adjoining Sherman's barn which was
destroyed by fire last week, and which fire
was also OF ~incendiary origin. Both the
barn and the building fired last night are
located only a few feet distant from the
new Bowes hotel now being built, and in
the same block as The MINER, 80 of course,
it is but natural to suppose that the PEG.
pie of that neighborhood were considera-
bly, excited.
The fire was started in q box filed with
shavings and other refuse which was stand.
ing in q corner Of the shop and directly
under a lot Of moulding leaning against
the wall. A broken window enabled the
i~ncendiary to drop a match or other light
into the box and do it SO quickly that he
was not detected although two private
watchmen were not over twenty feet away
at the time. They discovered the fire al
most instantly and breaking open the
doors succeeded in carrying the blazing
box into the alley and ~extinguishing the
flames before any damage had been done.
How tie fellow managed to make his
way into the alley and out again without
being seen by anybody is what the two
