WHAT is the reason for the i'll feeling
OF the republican press of Montana
towards the Hon. Redield Proctor, sec
rotary OF war in President Harrison's
cabinet? 1t has been announced day
after day in the newspapers that the sec
rotary was on an official tour of inspec-
ton OF military posts, yet the Helena
journal calls him "ex-secretary," ignores
the official character of his trip and
speaks OF it as "a friendly visit to Hell
ona." The Inter Mountain is still more
violent in It's expressions of disfayor. 1t
says, 1T is evident that the old man ia
not travelling for pleasure, for nothing
but dire necessity would over take a
tourist TO Helena. If Proctor doesn't
want to visit Butte for a day or two and
see a live town he doesn't have to-" We
protest that this is gross ~discourtesy to

DEMOCRATS, ATTENTION.

A meeting is hereby called, to be held
in Helena, Monday, Sept. q, 1891, at

a state association of democratic clubs.
All clubs organized during the campaign
of 1850, as we'll as those recently formed,
are requested to send delegates, and
where practicable, to attend in a body.
The chairman of each county central
committee is requested to appoint five
or more delegates from his county. A
general invitation is extended to mem
bers of the party in all parts OF the state
to be present. The railroads entering
Helena have granted the usual round
trip rate of one and one-ifth fare to
those holding credentials from the Sec
rotary Of the convention.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
i authority for the statement that Sec
rotary Blaine will speak in Ohio before
the close of the campaign. AS this was
the Helena Journals test of Mr.. Blaine'e
candidacy for president in 1892, we trust
it will now come out openly for the
plumed knight. Does it now agree with
the Hon. John M. Thurston, of Neb-
raska, that president Harrison could
not more beautifully round out his adj
ministration and his political career
than by coming out and declaring in
favor of Blaine's nomination."

his public career but none that entities
him to more gratitude than his magnif-

democrats set out to talk the session

talked continuously for fourteen hours
against the bill. But for his determined
and plucky fight it is altogether prob
