There ID a loss in the First and Second

). A report has been circulated about the
streets that Mr.. Murphy has promised ia
make certain appointments in the event of
his election. Mr.. Murphy said yesterday
that this report was without the slightest
foundation. He had made no promises OF
any nature whatever nor would he make
any, and if elected would 20 INFO Office with
a clean slate. Mr.. Murphy added: IF the
people of Helena elect me to the mayoralty
l propose to give the city a businesslike
administration if it is within my power. /
believe that q certain element of the voters
will support me with the expectancy that if
/ am elected we will have a broad gagged
administration for the best interests of
Helena and / intend that their wishes shall
be gratified. TIL city government should
not be controlled by politicians nor should
the rewards be distributed without regard
to fitness for the office. The affairs of our
city can be administered in a business like
way which will advance the progress Of
Helena and it will be my purpose to SEQ that
this is lone If l am called upon to fill the
mayors chair. I hope to see an admins
tratlon above the mere workings of a party
machine"
The statement in the Stats eitung to
the effect that the editor was authorized
to announce that Mr.. L. Ii. K~einschmidt is
in no way related to the other Klein
schmidts created a great deal of unfavor-
able comment among many good citizens
of the city. Mr.. Carl Kleinschmidt yes
terday wrote the following card for publ
cation in The INDEPENDENT:
my attention has been called to the fol-
lowing notice in the Staats-Zeitung: We
are authorized to announce to our readers
fhnf Nr III = 49,, "a - 80 49,
to Messrs Albert. Carl or Reinhold Klein
schmidt and is not connected with them in
any shape or manner 81 would like to
say that this statement is true, although
Mr.. L. II. Kleinschmidt and myself arc
both German by birth, but there was a vast
lilies in the fatherland, and I may say it
without undue pride that the difference was
in favor of my family. Neither my broth
ers nor myself have been chronic office
seekers nor political tricksters. Neither
have we ever sought to claim any relation
ever with Mr.. II. H. K~leinschmidt
but. on the contrary, have always repudi-
ated it. The latter fact is probably what
called forth Mr.. T. H. Kleinschmidt's card.
l would IKE to say, moreover, that / have
never on st. Patrick's day made pretenss of
helng an Irishman, or taken part in their
proceedings or peddled out shamrocks in
saloons among the guests with the hope
and expectation of receiving their votes
and influence. l conclusion, | viii cav that
the gentleman cannot be more anxious than |
l am that the citizens should all under
ness between u.s."
Opposition to Kleinschmidt Is %sprineine
up IN all directions. Many of the leading
republicans are quietly throwing a wet
blanket on his canvass because thew al
lege that he was altogether too lukewarn
when chairman of the county central com
mittee in 1889. It will be remembered that
prominent republicans openly stated at that
lime that kleinschrnidt was openly treach-
.rous to the party. There will be MANY
votes dropped in the box on Tuesday for
Nr. Murphy for this reason alone.
A correspondent writes the following ex
cellens suggestions: I'm view OF the fact
that the two-or three-political parties
have seen tit to drag the question of tire
of school trustees into politics
and have presented us with no less than
eleven names as candidates for that i'm
portsnt office, why did not some gallant
gentleman present the name of at least one
for our thoughtful considerations
Women are members of school boards in
large cities of the east and discharge
the duties with credit to themselves. Why
can we not elect a woman member of our
school board? ] suggest Mis-. Della Kellogg
as q candidate for trustee. She ia a woman
of education and ability and was a teacher
herself in days gone by. She has made the
