Last fall after Mr.. Dodd was elect.
Ell, the Elk Point Independent Ring
laid their plans to get the county
commissioners TO appoint n purchas.
ing agent whose duty it would be
70 purchase all supplies for the
county offices and they boosted,
(conti.lent;ally Of course that they
would by this scheme make the ex-
pendi!urts Of the county greater
under Republican rule this year
than It was last year under Indepen-
dent rule. Men who will resort to
such means to continue their party
III power should be relegated to the
renr instead Of receiving a renoni-
nation. But somehow the wrong
man received the appointment. and
their little game was busted. But
they swore vengeance on the fellow
that interfered with their plans
and prevented them from bleeding
tho tax payers to accomplish tl,sir
pnrposS They next plotted TO conf
pei himlto resign by persuading'h his
bondsmsn TO withdraw from his
bond. This scheme also iailed.
Their next scheme was to beat him
out Of a denomination. To do this
it was necessary for them to do a
large amount OF downright Icing
which they did, and very effectually
too and the officer that has actually
| done more in the interest of the tax
Payers Of Union county than all the
other officers put together as the
present financial conditions of this
county will prove, was left out Of
course. The people was not onto
their schemc, but they will be on
election day. It is through the so.
licitntions Of bis friends and the in.
tercst OF the tax payers Of this cont,
" that Mr.. Gardner has announced
himself as an independent candi
date. The siary Of about $500. pc.
year is no q ect when n considers
The large amount Of work attached
10 that office.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. ia divi-
sion was created on the soldiers re-
union grounds last night by a con-
troyesry between Judge Botkin, Of

had written Of the people Of western
Kansas, ia q letter to .'The Ameri.

selling their honor, the women their
virtue, and children are becoming
criminals and outcasts for bread
The audience demanded the name

the crowd and was repeatedly called
for, but refused to come toward. A
tile close Of the speaking, Simpson
accused Kotkin d! doing him All IN
Justice, and said the remark refer
red to was applied TO the people o
Boston and New York. This Bot
Kin denied. Aftsrn sharp exchans'

THE REFoRMEas.

Editors CouEIER:-I see by the
COURIER that the reformers are
repominated Tor q second pull at the
teat, with the exception of States
Attorney Miller and Mr.. Gardner.
These fellows don't believe in rings,
oh no; please step up and kiss the
barney stone every one Of ye; we do
not believe in rings, Of course; we
don't. Well, Amos resided in Can
ton. year before last and run out the
back door, that is when they come
to count the slips with the names
on. He was a candidate there you
know. Last year he tarried in Pierre.
This year he stayed around here.
He isn't assigned for next year.
And then there is Nat he takes to
Office like II duck to water. Nat
likes to smoke, play withstand draw
his salary. Should Nat be again
elected some historian might write a
readable volume entitled, "Reformer
Nat" or fifteen years in Office. Nat
wants to go to Hot Springs, S. d.,
aud its a darn shame the reformers
don't let him GO. But then be may
have an opportunity sooner than he
expects.
However, Of all the reformers that
ever managed a reform, reformer
| Ronell takes the cake in managing
reformers. In instituting any re-
form q reformer should be willing
to reform this reformcr Ronell has
accomplished, and the county now
stands credited with $4,000. This
is reform what is reform. The coun-
ty is safe, and it wont be necessary
TO lock your doors ut nights in the
future. Ronell is Il bung buster IL
figures.
Charley Deane, the easy going
Charley is also rcnominated and the
fellows who broke into Halverson's
tailor shop, Hoffman & Co.'S store
aud other places are still at large
Saloons are running openly at Beres
ford, $50 reported also at jefferson
aud opposite Riverside. and every.
thing is moving along swimmingl,
in the interest Of reform.
But poor Gardnerthe conci entiou'
man Of the company and the rea
refurmer was mercilessly decapitat
ed. The villainous treachery t
which he was subjected was mos
shameful and disgusting. Havin.
received the highest vote Of nm,
man on the ticket two years aga
thereby showing his great POPULAR
ty and having shown himself to b
a reformer in deeds as well a
words he is ~iujnstly stricken from
The combine. But Henry Gardne
will be heard from r long.
We are thankful for II featur'
or the ticket, for Uncle Flanagan,
sake. He wont have to ON arOunt
to the next republican convention
and say to the delegates, now
want you to support Henry for q
and 90. Henry is provided for.

THE PALACE STORE,
BY NJ HOFFMAN & co.

Most cvery ono in business advertises. Some make
q success Of it while others fail. The success does
not lie SO much as to what yon advertise, SO you
advertise the truth. Now VIC do not want the
whole world, neither do we want all tbs trade, but
we do want part Of it. There are other good stores
in town, and it is well enough for you to look
around a little and compare prices and goods soyou
will be better satisfied that the PvLAcE STORE is a
good place fore you to trade. We have said it a
good many times and doubtless will keep on say
ing it, that We aim to keep as good a store with as
good goods and as low prices as is possible to do.
If You have never traded with lis, we ask you to
come in and look us over and be convinced that the
PALACE STORE does as she advcrtises.

WATCH tn Err LITTLE GAME.

Complaint comes to the TRIBUNE from
Soldier Creek, Milligan, Kibbey, and
Monarch that the county commissioners
have so adjusted the voting precincts as
to put many voters at these points to
great Inconvenience. The voters at the
first two points named are obliged to
travel to st. CLAIR, a distance of sixteen
miles, while voters from Kibbey and
Monarch are obliged to go to Ricevllle.
This looks like a little vest-pocket ger
rymander on the part of the county com
%missioners, and it will not be taken
kindly by the voters of these precincts.
The commissioners may think it very
clever, but they should bear in mind
that there are a great many independ-
ent voters this year who will be just as
much offended as will the democrats. 1t
must not be supposed by the commits
sioners or by anybody else that the vot
ers are asleep or unmindful of their at
tempted trickery.
The sharp eye Of the people is upon
them, and If they attempt any funny
business with the idea of winning votes
they are going to find themselves beau
tifully fooled. The tribune hopes that
voters In every precinct who are annoyed
or put to any inconvenience because they
are not republicans, or because they do
not intend to vote the republican ticket,
will send all possible information on this
subject to this Office. We will see that
proper use is made of it and that names
are not mentioned when not desired.

GREATNESS COMES APACE.

This city's destiny is that of greatness.
and each day and hour of its history
has shown that it was not only born
great but that it will achieve greatness
and have greatness thrust upon it. The
prophets who saw the site before a
house was built foresaw that a metropo-
lis must stand upon this spot, and in a
few brief years their widest dreams have
been surpassed 10y what has actually
happened.
70 encourage the development of the
really wonderful agricultural esources
of the surrounding country a milling
plant with ample capital and up to date
as regards its equipment, has been seri-
ously needed. and the news was flashed
over the wires yesterday that this need
will be met 10y one Of the best firms Of
Minneapolis. Full particulars of the
plant are given in the TRIBu NE's news
columns. and we have only to congratu-
late Great Falls and the surrounding
country on this Important addition so
soon to be made to the Of
northern Montana.

WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
MIR. CLEVELAND'S LETTER.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER. 80. 1892.

Comparisons will be made between
the letters of acceptance of the various
nominees for president of the United
States, but we believe none will be found
that breathes a truer spirit Of patriotism
than that of Mr.. Cleveland, which ap,
pears in full in the TRIBUNE this morn
ing.
1t is not as long as the moral law, nor
does it appeal to passions that should be
buried Of recite the moss grown deeds Of
long-departed heroes. 1t deals from first
to last with living principles, the stability
of the republic. and the publication Of
the national spirit which is essential to
that end. The plainest and least in
formed man may read it and see at a
glance that it mean something for him
and for his children. 1t is not a dreary
recital of what others have done, but a
clarion to action-the call Of
the great leader of the democracy for
the people to rally to their own rescue
and redeem the nation from a system that
has become a menace at every point.
AS Mr.. Cleveland points out, the dem
ocracy must bear in mind that it's actual
membership comprises more than one
half the voters in the nation. In the
campaign of 1888 his plurality over MI.
Harrison vas 9S.O11 votes, but. a small
plurality in New York gave the republican
candidate an advantage in the electoral
college which secured his election.
There are thousands of democrats this
year where there were hundreds in 1888,
and there is not a shadow of doubt that
Mr.. Cleveland will carry New York in
spite of all the federal patronage and
Doodle and all the devices of fraud that
can be brought to bear by the party in
power.
The democracy has every cause to be
confident and aggressive, and if there is
apathy in ANY quarter among the people
who desire to see the wrongs removed
under which the country now suffers,
this patriotic call to arms from the
chosen popular leader should fire every
heart. and arouse the activities Of every
enlightened mind.

THE TRIBUNE is always willing to per-
NIT it's colleagues Of the press to copy it's
articles. but we would respectfully sug-
gest to the Helena journal, and other
papers which use our matter without
credit, that this practice is not becoming,
and that we trust they will find it o n
venient to acknowledge the matter they
quote from this paper, The failure to
creuit a quotation may arise sometimes
from accident or oversight, and we should
be sorry to think that any of our con-
temporaries would do it deliberately.

Nt;. DAIl'> ROAD.

While some Of the Helena papers have
spoken slightingly Of Mr.. Days railroad
project. and others have been quizzing
the promoters upon their motives,
many restless persons have begun to
prophecy that the road is a myth and
that it will never be built. The Ana
conda Standard treasures these sceptics
in the following manne
10 the impatient people who are
anxiously watching for new announce
ments regarding the Butte, Anaconda
and Pacific railroad, who have simply to
say that the road is all right, that it will
be built exactly as announced in this
newspaper several days ago. and that the
preparations for building it are going
ahead as fast as is possible under the
existing conditions. AS everybody
knows, it is not an easy matter to start
an undertaking of this sort and start it
in a hurry"
As the Helena papers seem to see
everything Just o through green Cog
giles, it was necessary for the Standard
to add:
"The manner in which the builders of
the new road are approaching their
work is d complete refutation Of the
campaign romancing of those who pre-
dicted the importation of hundreds Of
men for voting purposes. How far
such notions are from the plane of the
roads hackers has already became ap-
parent. These railroad builders are
men of means who are in quest OF in
vestments Of permanent value, safety
and profit. The average man Of bust
ness can easily see how little the per
sonal fortunes of this or that man in
passing politics concern them"
1t is time for the people of Helena tc
understand that men are not owned and
voted like cattle, as they pretend tt
think, and that there is nobody in thu
world with the motives and methOdi
which they seek to ascribe to some Of thu
leading men of the state, except Messrs
Dudley and Quay and the other crooked
manipulators Of the republican party.

SETTLE 1T TIL YEAR X.

There are many reasons why 1t would
be to the advantage Of the state to have
the capital question settled this year.
In the first place the other public in
situations cannot be located until the
capital is decided upon, and a further
postponement of the decision means
keeping the state at a standstill in some
respects, when it might be progressing.
II the public institutions could be
agreed upon, there would be an impetus
given to public enterprise, such as could
scarcely arise from any other circum-
stance. At each point where one of the
state institutions WAS to be built there
would be an unusual demand for labor
and building material of all kinds, and
the certainty Of these works Icing car
ried on would give rise to all sorts of
private building and business projects.
A decision this year. moreover, could
hardly fail to be Of great advantage to
Great Falls, as the voters of the state
have become fully alive to the centrality
Of this city's position, and to the impor-
lance of locating the capital now in a
manner to provide for the e%xigencies of
the future.
Helena's failure to build the Castle
road and her false promises in other di
rections have lost her the sympathy
and support of a great many voters. She
should be alive to the fact that the cap
ital was moved to Last Chance gulch
when it was deemed inexpedient to re-
tain it in Virginia City, and should not
be amazed that expediency and the in
terests Of the state o require it's re-
moval to some other point Great Falls
is prepared to abide by the decision of
the people, whatever it may be. She is
not losing any sleep over the question of
the location of the capital, but she be-
lieves that the people understand the
force Of her claim for consideration, and
she is also convinced that this impor-
tant question ought to be decided at the
coming election.
Settle it this year and obviate the ne
of having to settle is some other
time, when the conditions for a settle
ment may not be so favorable as at the
present moment.

Do You Wish the
Finest Bread and Cake ?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the
purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest,
most delicious food.
The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and strong
est makes the most digestible and wholesome food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of
the baking powder which will give her the best food
with the least trouble?
DR.. Haines, of Rush Medical College, Consulting
Chemist of the Chicago Board of Health, says: "Royal
is not only the purest, but the strongest baking powder
