EDITOR OF THE LEADER:
The democrats are beginning to realize
that they have made several mistakes in
the legislative matter First, Toole's as
sumption of legislative and judicial pow
er was bad break and his course is con-
demned by sensible democrats, who feel
that he was led into this blunder by the
desperate efforts of the Doodle combina-
ton. He now sees that he has made
himself ridiculous and suspects it was a
plot on the part of the Big Four to shelve
him.

Again the course of the democratic SEN
ators in absenting themselves from the
organization of the senate is bad break
number two. 1t puts the democracy on
the defensive. There is no justification
for this course even from their own
stand point. The republican senators
met in the court house. The democrats
stayed away and by their course are
blocking the wheels of legislation. AS a
consequence, conservative democrats are
loudly condemning their course.
The offering bribe to Auditor Kenney
which the democratic press are keeping
strangely silent about was another big
mistake. In fact the whole course is q
series of blunders characteristic of that
party.

One of the first moves of the big four
was to send east for special correspond
ents to write up the democratic side in
the eastern papers. One of these, a
young fellow with turned up nose and
penetentiary countenance, has been filling
the Chicago Herald with job lot Of stale
lies, dozen times exploded, which bear
the ear marks Of Maginnis, who may be
remembered as one OF the number showed
under last October. In fact, it speaks of
} MaginI is as the finest orator and the
braniest man in the democratic party
which, indeed, sounds just like the mod
est major, who will not be shelved by
J Toole and Hauser if he can help it.

1t is remarkable that the abuse of the
democratic press is heaped upon Col
Sanders. He bears it, however, with
equanimity and grows fat under it. Sale
one. Of the most prominent democrats il
f Helena yesterday, Col. Sanders is a mar
whom l would have killed twenty five
! years ago if an opportunity had Offered
itself. He has said the meanest things
} against us gnd yet have found him to be
pretty good fellow. Ii republican
