Democratic Ticket.
For State Senator for Cascade County,
PARIS
U STATE

In speaking of Cascade county's candi-
date for state senator the RIVER Press
says:
ain nominating the Hon. Paris Gibson
as their candidate for state senator the
democrats of Cascade merely voiced the
sentiments of the masses of the people Of
that county. MI. Gibson has been very
properly called the father of Great
Falls He has earned and deserves the
name. Through his indomitable will, his
untiring energy, industry, enterprise and
rare foresight, he converted a desert waste
into one of the most prosperous, most
promising and beautiful cities in the
state. No one will deny him this need Of
praise. Great Falls and Cascade county
owe to Paris Gibson their present envi-
able prosperity and promise for the flu
ture.
sin many respects Mr.. Gibson is a re-
markable man. Endowned with com
handing abilities. which have been re-
fined and cultivated by a tinishededucation
and possessing a highly sensitive nature,
he could shine in and enjoy the higher
walks of intellectual life, but that spirit
which prompts men to do and to dare,
and which added to sagacity, cool judg-
ment and ability, has blazed trails in the
wilderness, pioneered civilization in the
west and builded cities in waste pace,
burned within him and divorcing. him
self from the ease and luxury which sur
rounded his eastern home, he, single
handed and alone, bodily hewed his way
to a new one and founded a city which
will ever stand as a monument to his
foresight, his genius and his enterprise.
In honoring Mr.. Gibson with an election
Cascade county will not only honor it
self, but it will secure the services of a
man in the senate chamber whose influ~
ence will be felt in the enactment of
wholesome laws and legislation which
will advance the interests OF his imme.
diate constituency as we'll as the Interests
of the state"

CARTER ACCEPTS,

In our dispatches today we publish the
acceptance of the nomination for congress
wired from Washington by 7. Fl. Carter.
The numerous letters and kilograms OF
declination by that gentleman was a part
of the programme, as it was fully under
stood at all times that he was to be nomi-
mated and "forced" into an acceptance.
1t is "a confession of weakness on the
part of the republicans. The W So
called senator's and the representative
the entire congressional delegation-hail
from Helena. 1t must be admitted
that In justice to other sections OF
the state and as a matter of ordinary
fairness this nomination should 60 to
some other part of the state, and so it
would have gone but for the fact that the
managers are afraid to go before the peo-
pie on the issues and base their hopes of
success ON the supposed popularity of
Mr.. Carter. They could not have &C
knowledged their weakness in II more
forcible way.
But they cannot so easily avoid the
issues. They must face the music and
Carter will have reason to wish, after the
ballots are counted, tlat he had been sin
cere and honest in his announcements
that he would not again make the race.
The convention that assemblies in Helena
Monday will name the next congressman
| from this state and his election will not
be the result of personal popularity, but
because the people of Montana stand
ready to rebuke the republican party, on
account of both its national record and its
infamous political methods ut home.

confident.
The Grafton, N. d., News-Times speaks
in q pleasant way of Messrs. Bristol and
Place who have become residents of
Great Falls and will soon open a res
taurant and hotel in the Gibson & Renner
block. W. are certain they fully deserve
the compliments paid them, but we are
afraid the "staunch republican" part will
not apply very we'll to Col. Bristol. He
says the republican party adopts every
cranky ism that come. to the front and
that so far us he is concerned he is about
done with it.
On Saturday last the doors of the Co.
lumbia Hotel were closed to the general
public, the proprietors, Messrs. Bristol
u Place, having for some time arranged
to move to Great Falls, Montana, where
they have leased a large hotel, recently
erected for their special occupancy. In
the departure of Messrs. Bristol u
Place, Grafton loses two prominent
and wide-awake business men, who
have taken a great pride in pushing and
promoting every enterprise that would
assist in any way the advancement of
the city. During Mr.. Bristol's resi-
dence, which dates from 1883, he has on
several occasions taken a very promi-
nent and active part in formulating the
political situation of both state and
county affairs. Last season his name
LEAD in the appointment of United States
Marshal, but he withdrew IN the interest
of party harmony. Much more could be
said in praise Of Col. Bristol, but the peo-
pie of Great Fails will find him progress
slve and enterprising, and above all a
loyal and patriotic republican. or Mr..
Place, his partner, only the very best can
be said. He is Il man of brilliant ideas,
conservative in all private and public
walks of life. and to know him is to re-
spect him. Mrs. Place, his amiable wife,
will be much missed from the social
circles of our city. Mr.. Bristol's family,
Miss Jessie and brother Willie, leave
many warm and kind friends who gave
them little tokens of their friendship and
esteem as they departed at the depot
Wednesday afternoon. The best wishes
of all go with the future prosperity and
happiness of Messrs, Bristol Il Place
Grafton, IN. d. News Times.

BEFORE leaving for New York, ex
Governor Hauser, when questioned on
the political outlook, said: 1--WE are GO
ing to beat them this time" Asked who
the democrats would name, he said he
had no idea, but 1t would probably be a
west side man. His first choice would
be Judge Dixon of Butte. "He would be
elected to a certainty" said Mr.. Hauser,
lover any republican who could be
named; but any one of half a dozen can
carry the state this year" Mr.. Hauser
says he will return in time to take Ii
hand N the campaign. "If Marcus DAILY
consents again to take the management
of the canvass" he said, land | have no
doubt that he will yield to the universal
demand for his services, we shall carry
the state by substantial majority"

Remedy sells better than any other.'
The reason OF this is because it can al

troubled with a severe cold give it a trial
md they will find that the first dose will
relieve the lungs and make breathing
easier, aud that its continued use will
free the system of all symptoms of the
