THE people will rejoice that the CAPT
tai contest has been settled and that the
convention will be free to go on with the
rest of the constitution and complete it
speedily. The convention of 1884 was in
session less than month, while the pres
ent one is in its sixth week. Some hitch
was to be expected. If another arises
we hope the matter in dispute will be left
for settlement at the close of the pro-
ceedings The attempt to saddle the re-
cent delay on the democrats is worthy of
what we would call base, mendacious
newspaper at Butte, if such terms were
parliamentary. 1t was Il fight of towns
and interests, not of parties. The air was
charged, as it were, with etheric forces,
which must find vent. Governor Chase
once said that he would like to take hold
of England and give her good shaking
Many felt that way in regard to Helena
They wanted to impress on her that the
new era Of equal rights has dawneG
They meant her no harm. They have
demonstrated that Helena IS strong only
when she keeps step with that progress
of which north Montana is the living ex
emplar. When the smoke Of battle hal
passed away it will be found that it wa'
liberal Helena men who are identified
with the whole territory that secured for
bearance tor the capital and attracted tt
her aid the conservative element OF ,th'
convention. 5#S
