IT will take the official count to de-
termine the political complexion Of the
next legislature. Silver Bow has elected
two democrats, or three-nobody knows
which. Deer Lodge has chosen seven
democrats, or SIX, it isn't certain which
number. One member in Missoula and
two in Meagher are still in doubt. One
thing is certain. On joint ballot the
democrats will control or the peoples
party will hold tho balance of power.
The republicans are in a sure minority.

THE FOURTH DISTRICT
Republicans Hold a Convention and In
dorse Radcliffe.

The Republicans down in the
Fourth district held convention
Saturday for the purpose of endors-
ing candidates for county offices.
G. III. Booker from the Eighth dis
trict was elected temporary chair
man and B. F. Rives secretary. The
only action taken by the convention
which might possibly have any bear
ing on the result of the election for
any office was the endorsement of
Julian Radcliffe for tax assessor. He
went through with whoop, and
all present pledged their efforts in
his behalf. The leading negroes Of
the district were present and took a
prominent part in the proceedings.
There seems to be well-laid
plan all over the county among
the colored voters to go GEN.
ter shot for Radcliffe. II they
do this, and all the white candidates
stay in the race, there Is Danger OF
his election. The candidates should
get up some plan by which this
danger can be- averted. There is no
good sense in allowing Radcliffe to
occupy the important Office OF as
SCISSOR.

Gov. Buchanan's Withdrawn

In our news columns to-day ap.
pears synopsis of Governor Buth-
anan's card. in which he withdraws
from the race for Governor of Tennes-
see. He withdraws AS Democrat
who has served two years as the chief
executive of the State, having been
elected to that exalted position by
the Democratic party OF the State.
The reason he has withdrawn is the
fact that he could not possibly have
received the nomination. He has
made the race before the people in
their primaries, mass meetings and
conventions, and his opponent, Chief
Justice Peter Turney, has beaten linn
in "a square fight, founded on Demo-
cratic principles and customs. TAX
ing this common sense view Of the
matter, it becomes evident that Gov.
Buchanan has done exactly right.
There was no other course for him to
pursue, consequently the withdrawal
is not surprise. In his card he says
he is Democrat, and that he loves
the teachings of Jefferson and Jack.
son. If this be true the proper course
for him to pursue now is to give
his hearty support to the nominee of
his party. The withdrawal, if he
be the Democrat he claims himself to
be, eliminates him entirely from the
contest, and insures the nomination
and election of Judge Turney. In
the face of what he has said hereto
fore, and Of what is contained in his
card of withdrawal, he cannot con-
sistently lend his influence to the
Third party move, consequently he
is out of the race. The only evidence
that he is contemplating plunge in
to the Third party ranks are the as
sertions of such men as J. III. Nc.
Dowell, j. G. Roberts, ct ais, which
are not worth much ia politics or
anywhere else where self interest is
at stake. OF course Governor Buch-
anan's defeat hurts him and while
under this sting he uses language
and makes misstatements with re-
gard to the manner his opponents
have conducted their campaign,
which would have been better for his
future welfare had they never been
uttered. He has been defeated by the
same men who voted for him two
years ago-men whom he regarded at
that time as Democrats of the old
school. His slurs, therefore, at them
will only act as boomerangs.

DECLARED INSANE.
Verdict Of the ,Jurycin the Alice Mitchell
Case.

The jury In thetAiice Mitchell case
brought in aNverdfct Saturday at
Memphis, declaring the defendant
insane and declaring that it would
be dangerous>fto'the community to
set her at liberty. She will be sent
to one Of The State asylums.
This verdict does not absolve the
defendant from yet being placed on
trial for her life at soD.e future time,
should she recover her reason and
should the Attorney General see fit
to prosecute her.. Neither has the
verdict anything to do with her con-
dition when she slew Freda Ward.
1t touches her present insanity alone.
II the defendant does not recover her
confinement will be for life.
1t is the belief that the charges
against Lille johnson will be with
drawn and that she will be given
her freedom.

MILITARY MATTERS.
A Meeting of the City Guards at the Ar
mory Tonight.

The GAINESVILLE City Guards are
called to meet at the armory tonight
at o'clock sharp. 1t is very much
desired that full! attendance of men,
bers be lad and that all people who
have any interest in military affairs
attend the meeting. There will be a
National encampment at the Worlds
Fair, and the GAINESVILLE City Guards
want to attend it. The meeting to
night will be for the purpose
of working up an interest in military
circles and of taking steps to enlarge
the company. GAINESVILLE can sup
port good military organization
and should do so. A military COM
pany always gives city character,
and it looks now like this Is the Only
way GAINESVILLE will get her name on
a banner at the Worlds Fair. II is
important, therefore. that large
company be organized. Let every
body turn out and aid in the matter.
