Helena Herald: "1'he democratic
time lock has about run out" was one oi
several happy thoughts that found ex-
! preston from the ori iginal and only
Charley Warren at the Harrison banquet
Monday evening. He didn't think any
Of MIR. Cleveland's bri gade would forget
that the republicans would one Of these
days come into their full political inherit
ance in the Territories.
| Helena Record: A remarkable feat of
journalistic enterprise was that accom-
plishcd by our esteemed contemporary.
the Butte Miner Manager Koch, who
was in Helena Monday night, received
the governors message at 1890, sent it to
Butte with nj elaborate Introductory, and
had it on the street in Butte, iii addition
to the regular edition, early yesterday
afternoon. The message contains, accord
ing to printers measurement, something
over forty thousand ems; according to the
way telcgraphcr's count something like
ten thousand words,
Helena Record: The resolution 50
adroit]y gotten through the council by
the Hon. Jerry Collins, lauding Joe
Toolc to the skies for the many grand
things it alleged he has accomplish ed for
Montana was sat down on by the house
yesterday SO promptly that nobody got a
chance to make Il speech upon it. This
is to be regretted for the reason, princi-
pally, that it would have been an inter.
estiny thing to hear what tho eloquent
democratic members Of that body could
have found to say in support Of it. 1t
would never have passed the council il
that body had had time to devote to tho
vain effort ofrccalling some distinguished
service warranting it. The only thing
we can think of to call for such action is
Joc's general good looks. He has given
those eastern people the idea that we fel-
lows out in Montana are all Adonises, and
of course that is something. But our
memory fails to call up anything else.
Butte Inter Mountain: There was
banquet given in Helena u little over two
months ago in honor Of a certain distin-
guished gentleman. 1t was attended by
the Territorial democratic central commit
tee. The dining room was darkened for
