MIssouLA, Oct. 1.-THE republican
state central committee seems to be short
of funds. Ii is pity, for they need
money badly enough at the present time.
Here is the copy of letter mailed October
9, which fell into your correspondents
hands, showing their plan for filling the
sack:
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
HELENA, Mont, Sept. "a, 1850.
DEAR SIR: The campaign is In full blast.
The state committee is 10 carry il on and TO
render assistance 10 all the counties.
AT the present time We are working without
funds to successfully do this. For this reason
We look 10 you 20 assist us as much rs you pos
sibly can. Kindly forward at your EARLIEST con-
yenience check for as large an amount as you
can AFFORD TO MIR. Joseph Davis, treasurer OF the
state committee at Helena.
There being no state or county officers to be
assessed this year, the committee must 10 GER
tain extent look To those who have received posi-
tons under the administration TO assist them.
Trusting you will respond AS quickly as possl-
BILE, as the COMMITTEE is in need Of funds, am,
very truly yours,
J. d. W., Secretary.
Matters are looking dubious for them
i'm Missoula county. Joe Deschamps re-
turned from Superior last night and shows
how they have attempted to register men
not qualified.
Various republican bosses brought 229
men TO the registry Office of whom only 65
were qualified electors. There was a
great deal Of fuming and storming but
the registry agent could not be induced to
disregard the laws, so 16i fraudulent votes
will have to go uncast.
Hon. Robert b. Smiths speech last
night has been tine subject of comment on
all sides to-day. Fair-minded men admit
that il was unusually strong, but some OF
the republicans were utterly disguised
with it. II probably made them sick.
| They looked so last night as the orator
went over the list of republican scandals
from the Credit Mobiier to the Tunnel
precinct and by means Of figures and re-
publican statements showed the fallacy ol
many of their pet doctrines.
The hotel at Stevensvilie burned this
morning, together with couple of sa.
looms in connection. The hotel was the
property of John B. Catlin and Y. NJ
Harris. Men here estimate the loss a,
5000, but the insurance is not known.
The Bitter Root train narrowly escaped
being ditched this morning. Between
Carlton and Lo Lo the engine struck
COW. She got under the pilet, but as on,
horn got in front of one of the littl,
wheels she did not get back under thu
main part of the engine. As il was, sh,
was dragged several rods before the trair
was stopped and the carcass pulled out o
the way.
In the district court the day was con
sumed in empaneling a jury i'm the cas-,
of the state VS.. Pascal, an Indian, who il
charged with having murdered an un
known white man, near Dayton creek, il
the Flathead country, last fall. 1t wal
necessary to order two special venires be
fore a panel could be obtained, but th,
panel was at last completed late this af
ternoon and the trial will begin tomorrow
morning.
About l 80 o'clock this morning Deput,
Sheriff Grant, who is in from Egan ol
business at court, arrested two suspicion
looking characters who were examinin,
a watch which they said they wanted Il
sell cheap. They threw it into pile O
brick near the new Hammond block, bu
he recovered il and took his men up tow
where he found Officer Lynch with tn
owner of the watch looking for them. Tn
thieves were arraigned to-day in the polio
court and one, Mike Condor, plead guilt
and was sent TO the county Jail TO awai
sentence tomorrow. The other plead nc
guilty and was released on 500 bond /
await trial.
