vote for president and the vote FOR pub
lie administrator and coroner in the
county is 100; the total vote for presi-
dent being $3.50 and that for coroner
being 5,12s. This shows an unusually
great degree OF care by voters in going
drought the whole ticket. 1t is also
noticeable that the peoples party was
we'll organized, as the difference between
their presidential electors and inferior
county officers votes is very slight. For
instance, Mckay, for e~lector, received
1913 votes, while Bell, peoples party
candidate for assessor, received 1850
votes; Zastrow, for treasurer. LOIS
votes; Carleton, for county attorney, 992
votes. and Skies for commissioner, LOCI
votes. The peoples party cast almost
exactly one-fifth Of the total vote OF the
county, and it is estimated drew more
largely from the republicans than from
the democrats.
1t is said that there were many less
errors in the vote generally this year
than heretofore, which is doubtless due

repeatedly explaining the system of
voting before election.
No ~recounts were demanded, and sell
dom has an election resulted in less
harsh feeling and fewer accusations OF
party intidelity.
The lesson to be learned is that I'M,
der the Australian system it is difficult
to hold men blindly to party o%rganiza-
tions, and it is clearly demonstrated
that the party which wishes to succeed
at the polls must nominate men who
are strong in the confidence Of the peo-
pie, for the days of the poll-worker and
vote-buyer are numbered, and the peo-
pie will do as they please in the selec-
ton of their officers.
Bach, for the legislature, among the
democrats, and Carpenter, among the
republican starters, have the highest
number of votes for members of the
house. 1t is generally believed that
there is an advantage to the legislative
candidate whose commences
With one of the first letters of the alpha

of the vote, which shows that of the
eight members elected in this county,
six are alphabetically within the first

The law could we'll be amended SO as to
permit legislators to be voted for in
groups, thus removing the slight ele-
ment of weakness in all cases where a

A COMING MAN OF FASHION,

We rise to doff our headgear to the
Hon. l.. H. Hershfield, or rather Gen.
Hershfield, as he should henceforth be
known; for we shall show sufficient rea-
sons for his elevation to the Montana
peerage.
The general has long been known to
US in many pleasing ways. He is a sue
cessful banker, an elegant gentleman, a
scholar of varied attainments, a politi-
clan whose public career is somewhat
late in maturing, and indeed, all in all,
a man you don't meet every day. The
evidence, however, was yet to come of
his eminence among philanthropists and
men of fashion. That evidence is now
at hand and is herewith submitted.
1t appears that Gen. Hershfield was
in Missoula the other day and talked with
a reporter of the esteemed Missoulian.
He said among other things that the
late Journal of Helena would be sold in
a few days, that he would buy it in, be-
come proprietor and run it as a morn
ing daily paper. The journal store
would also be bought and a big six
story building would be built. This is
all a plain business statement so far,
but listen to the generals climax. He
says:
II haven't seen anything nor heard of
anything which makes me believe that
republican principles are not as good as
they always we're, and the paper will
not only be a republican paper, as 1t has
been in the past, but it will henceforth
be a good republican paper. 1t seems
fashionable nowadays for bankers to
own newspapers, SO | am going to be
fashionable. OF course it is not a
money making scheme, but since it
seems we have to patronize and put up
for the support of newspapers we might
as we'll own them"
Glow perfectly fascinating!'
There is a popular impression that re-
publican principles were at a discount
since election. but perhaps, Mr.. Hersh-
field has not heard of that. Perhaps
he would like to place a bet on the
value of republican principles with
Thomas Henry Carter who viii arrive to-
day. We call special attention, how
ever, to Mr.. Hershfield's entire willing
ness to place himself upon the shrine Of
fashion. To this end he will even sacri-
flee all prospects Of making a money
making institution out Of the new news
paper. Think Of it! And think of that
beautiful unity of philanthropy long
exercised and the newly developed
mania for fashionable position.
The new aspirant has our heartiest
wishes for full success. May he reach
the pinnacle and heuceforth be known
as the king Of Observation-Disclosures
in financial journalism.
