LIE c AFFAIR.

In the opinion of the Rirer Press. the
representatives of Montana racing AS
sociations ought to get together n
agree on a plan for meetings that will
not clash. That opinion is shared by
IA great many people who take interest
i'm the coming seasons series of races.
1t strikes u.s." says the Press. that in
order to arrive at IA fair solution of the
disagreement il is first necessary to as
certain whether the fall meetings of the
Montana Agricultural. Mechanical
and Mineral association are annual
horse races ar annual meetings for the
exhibition of the agricultural. stock
and mineral productions of the whole
state with horse racing on the side. II
the NJ. ~. NJ. n n. A. is what il claims
for itself and what il advertises itself
tn he. simply a fair association orga-
nized for the benefit of the farm. stock
and mineral interests of the state, ii
certainly stands separate and independ-
ent from all other associations i'm the
state and has an undoubted right to
fix its dates of meetings without con
%sultatiOn or agreement with Them"
1t will he for the Press to decide
whether former meetings at IIelena
nave been essentially a series of races
OF an exhibition of agricultural, min
eral and stock productions. AS for tn.
west-side affairs, they are purely of the
racing order with no county fair fea

a big political storm before long.
Governor Hill, of New York, has re-
sisted the adoption of the Australian
system i'm that state. lie proposes to
favor better methods, but those who
know him realize that he would APP
prove such methods only as are sure to
he better for Governor Hill. lie is not
to be credited with n unselfish or
worthy motive in anything he favOrs
i'm relation to election methods. The
tended criticism of the Australian
plan. was strikingly like a plea made
by a man who, realizing his position to
be wrong, proposes to stay with the
error and make the best of it.
some very prominent people are ar
rayed against the Australian plan.
Ex-Governor Foraker is u painful ex-
ample. Senator German does not favor
a movement for its general adoption,
neither O g Benjamin +. Butler. Mr..
Dana, of the New FORK Sun, is dead
against it, and the reform has many
other OutspOken enemies. In Montana
there is no occasion for agitation over
the issue. All the vital features of the
Australian system have been adopted
