HELENA Correspondence to the LEADER,
Aug 81, 1SS9.-The' territorial fair jamb
all is over and the racing fraternity is
leaving for fresh fields Of glory. The
display of agricultural and general utility
articles was very slim. The dog part Of
the show was good. AS whole, outside
of tho racing and dog drogram, the great
territorial fair was not up to the stand
ard.
The town was infested with a gang of
pickpockets the past week and they did
land Office business. At least $4,000
passed into their hands. One man re-
ports loss of $500 and others from $50
to $500 and $500.
The dry and smoky weather still con-
tinues. Forest fires are raging in all di
rections from Helena. A good heavy
rain Of about four days duration would
he Gods blessing to the state of Mon
tana Mt the present time.
! Well, the democrats did muster up
courage enough to hold second conven-
ton in Harmonic becr-hall, on Thursday
afternoon. It was not very large gath
ering, but then it was not necessary to
have big turnout as the ticket had been
made up beforehand and only needed
announcement to put it in the field. E..
w. Knight was the great chief in the
program and kept the boys in good ma
ture by having everything done unanim-
ously-including himself for county COM
missioner. IN a nutshell, the ticket is a
good one to be slaughtered and the cleo
tion on October will lay it out cold.
Doodle can't save it,
The dem's are makinga a good deal of
blow and bluster over their state nomi
nees, about town, but nobody is 'skeered.' y
They did the same last fall and got
scooped to the tune Of over 5000 and it
wasn't very good election for majorities
