Mr.. A.. j. Craven made a long speech in
nominating Judge Sanders. His remarks
were confined mostly TO q discussion Of the
virtues Of other candidates.. He said the
convention had nominated q man for
his own indictment. Finally. a. the con
vention was beginning to fall into a coma
tose state. Mr.. Craven sprung the name Of
JuniuS G. Sanders, which was greeted with
great applause. MIR. Wilmer nominated
Nick Fretz. The ballot resulted 68 for San
ders and II for Fretz.
There were yells for Sanders and the
Judge carefully buttoned his prince Albert
and walked down to tho platform. In a
happy way he said: Those of you who
know me best Know that ! am a man OF but

Mr.. Mcintyre here took the floor to get q

made for school trustee by the joint COM
mlttees. They selected a man who do
not believe is il sympathy with the
country. We do not want a man who
will abide by the dictates of any power.

dates for school trustees.

ward. Joe Cans; Fourth ward, G. b. Miller;
Sixth ward, Jacob Walker; Seventh ward,

Nh following report of the committee
on resolutions was then read by the chair
man, Col. Botkin:
This convention appeals to the electors of
the CITY of Helena, n Declares:
l.. That the democratic party, having had
control of the city government for the past
year, has afforded cumulative evidence of
it's utter unftness to be trusted with the
management of municipal affairs. It's ad-
ADMINISTRATION has been one of promise with
out fnltillment, expenditure without results
and disastrous and scandalous misgovern-
ment without a single paIliating circum-
stance or redeeming' feature.
2. That a party does not change it's
character or enlarge its capacity by alter
ing its name. We recognize in the so-called
Citizens movement" a weak invention of
the enemy and we call upon republicans
who have been misled to vindicate their
loyalty and their intelligence by giving
their support to the party that has no COCA
sion to escape it's W record or conceal its
identity in q masquerade.
3. That the republican party recognizes
the Importance of securing at the earliest
possible day an amended charter that shall
be in unquestloned conformity with the
fundamental law of the state, and shall en-
large the functions of the municipal gov
eminent so as to make them equal to the
growth and requirements of the city.
4. THAI a government by the people can
not exist without a free ballot and an nom
est count and return Of legal votes; and
election judges who deliberately refuse to
count or return legal votes as required by
law are guilty of a larceny of citizens
rights-an offense more henious than a lar
ceny of property and only less shocking
than the %felonious taking of human life.
didates of the republican party to the poll
cy of dispensing with all unnecessary Off
ces; of cutting of all excessive salaries and
perquisites; of conducting public improve
ments upon a liberal scale by the direct
employment Of labor, 30 far as possible,
and OF advancing our city upon the lines of
good government, home labor, just wages
and public enterprise, supplementing and
encouraging private Investments, to her
deserved position of queenly supremacy.
No one cared to take the Craftsmanship of
the city committee. s. A. Ballet, DIR.
Rockman and J. p. Woolman declined, and
finally a young lawyer named Henry G.,
Smith was chosen and William Sims was
made secretary.
The city committee will consist of the
ward chairmen as usual. This finished the
business of the convention and an adjourn
ment was taken.
The republican nominee for mayor is one of
the pioneers of Montana. He was with ex-
Governor Hauser, when the First National
bank of this city was opened in a grocery
store in June, 1866. Mr.. K~Ieinschmidt has
been continuously interested as cashier or
assistant cashier from the first founding of
the institution. He is also interested in
numerous enterprises throughout the state.
Mr.. kleinschmidt has served two terms az
mayor of Helena. In 1883 he ran
against E. W. Knight. In 1885
he was pitted against James Sullivan but
was defeated. The following year he ran
against Aug. Weisenborn and went into the
office for a second term. Mr.. Kleinschmidt
is a native of Prussia and came to America
in 1S43.
JunIus G. Sanders who is now making
the race for a fourth term asspolice magis-
trate, is also an old resident of the state.
At the close of the war he came to Montana
and has at various times been engaged in
the mining and mercantile business.
During the construction of the Northern
Pacific railroad in Montana he acted as
right of way agent, and afterwards occu-
pied a similar position on several of the
branch lines. He succeeded Harvey Eng
lish, the former democratic police Judge
three years ago.
One of the most peculiar young men in
the republican party in Helena is James h.
Walker, the nominee for city treasurer.
Jim, as he is called by his friends, now
public opinion on the Herald. He
has been here for IA number of years, most
of the time being engaged in newspaper
work. He is a son of Major Il. G. Walker,
secretary of the Helena Board of Trade,
and is also a nephew of Secretary James g.
