stood by the Democracy. 1t has violently
assailed a large and respectable element in
this state, to whom the commonwealth is
greatly indebted for all that go to make
up it's progress. push and prosperity. This
effort to arouse race preiudices is charac-
teristic OF the Democratic party when it
hopes to conserve some end in local poll
ties. The right OF "a race, community or
creed are swept aside when the ambitions
OF some bourbon mossback to become a
or justice OF the peace are tremb-
ling in the balance.
But it should be said to the credit of
a good many Democrats in Fergus
county, that they do not endorse these
methods and have an in expressible
contempt for the guerilla who made
the attack. In Montana a spirit of
fairness prevails; there is a feeling of
good fellowship between men, and no
lines are drawn on nationality or re-
ligfon. When these ties are severed
we will revert to savagery and anarchy.
The man who draws the line is unfit to
to be a citizen of a government that
guarantees the fright of life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness to all.

Great Falls is in the race for the
capital. There is no question but the
Falls is destined to become the me-
tropolis and manufacturing center OF
the new northwest, and this is certain,
whether it the capital or not.
Should northern Montana cast its
vote for the Falls there would be dan
ger of Butte or BoZeman reaping the
benefit. By endeavoring to get the
capital near by there is a possibility
of putting it farther away than it is
at present. The Falls cannot hope
to secure strong support from the
west side, and little, if any, from the
southern and eastern part OF the
state. In the light OF these facts Fer
Il and Choteau counties should give
Helena a solid vote.

some dispute on the question. Upon
reconvening, w. E. Hall or Silver Bow,
Charles Stevens of Jefferson, and
Colonel Malone of Custer, were chosen
electors without opposition.
Ransom Cooper, the nominee for
attorney general, asked permission to

form thanked the convention for the
honor conferred, but declined the
nomination On the ground that he was
too poor to Aaket the race. A motion
was made to place Henry j. Haskell

acc.amation. The last in the order of
business being the selection OF the state

The District Judgeship.

1t is well known that the nomination of
prises more than one county, is done by "a
conference of the delegates from the coun
ties in the district at the state conventions

having no name to present, called upon
Choteau for "A nomination.. The name of

In making no nomination, the iudgeship
is taken out of politics entirely, where it
properly belongs. The Democrats in Park
county have made no nomination, while
Silver Bow Republicans have made but
one nomination. By the action taken at
the conference the present incumbent must
stand aloof from politics and pursue a
course in keeping with the dignity of his
Office.

H CONVENTION.

The Republican convention held at
Great Falls last week placed a winning
ticket in the field. Whatever may
have been the individual opinion or
choice of delegates prior to their ar
rival at the Falls, a survey of the field
left but little doubt as to the man who
should head the ticket. Butte came
to the front with a delegation tiftr-two
strong for j. f. Richards. Counties
having no candidate to present very
considerably listened to the claims of
Silver Bow, the most populous county
in the state, and one which must bear
the brunt of the battle. Lewis and
Clarke, having no candidate to urge,
though the name of +. ID. Weed was
presented, swung into line in favor of
Richards. The first ballot showed that
Mt. Richards was the choice of the
convention, and the nomination was
made unanimous.
No mistake has been made in plac-
ing Mr.. Richards at the helm. He is
the logical candidate. He fought the
battles of the party in a trying time
when it required intelligence, courage
and good generalship. He thwarted
and put TO rout the enemies of an hon.
est ballot and a fail count. He was a
stone wall against Democratic threats
and buster. As he said in his splen-
did speech before the convention, he
had done nothing he was sorry for; he
had no apologies to make, and asked
that no Republican apologize for him.
As every decision he made was subse-
quently sustained by ex-Speaker Reed
and the latter by the United States SUI
preme court, he could well feel proud
of his record in that turbulent session
Of the legislature.
Mr.. Richards is a genial, popular
gentleman, a good organizer and II
hard fighter, and we predict that on
the night of November Sth a substan-
tial majority will be counted for him..
His nomination unites all factions of
the party in Silver Bow county.
A. {. Botkin for lieutenant governor
went by reclamation. 1t was a just
honor to a stanch and deserving Re
publican. He will make IA model pre-
siding officer.
l.. Rotwitt, for secretary of state, had
no opposition, an evidence of his pop
ularity with the people.
For state treasurer, f. w. Wright Sc
cured the nomination. He has been
treasurer of Park county ever since its
organization. He is a capable, popu-
lar gentleman, and his nomination
means an increased majority in what
has been hitherto the banner Republi-
can county of the state.
Good men we're chosen for the bal
ance of the state ticket. The only
reason that can be given for the defeat
Of the present incumbents is lack of
votes. They were not as active r~ustlers
us the new men seeking the nomina-
tons.
For congressman there was M oppo-
sition to Chas. S. Hartman, and he was
declared the nominee by reclamation,
in fact amid great cheering. In Mr..
Hartman the Republicans have Sc
lected the best possible timber. He is
young, able, popular, energetic. and
an orator of the first rank. His speech
upon accepting the nomination was a
gem. He will carry more than his
party vote and be triumphantly elected
With Lee Mantle as chairman Of the
state central committee a vigorous
campaign is assured, and victory on
the Sth of next November.

We feel sorry for David Hilger. He
is "A good citizen, and we count him as

publican year-a year in which every
Republican must stand by his legisla-
tive ticket, for 10y this his Republican
ism is measured and his views on ma
tional issues given force. Mr.. Hilger
is unfortunate in being supported by
the ''combination," for it is well known
that he has no more use for the editor
of the Mud Geyser than he has for a
skunk OH the lower end of his ranch.

"My Partner" at Cordray,s.

The reception given the Cordray COM
pany in my Partner" last night was cor
dial and expressive. This time-worm
drama has lost none of its attractiveness,
and the pathetic scenes more especially
were well presented. Il. E. French was at
his best in the part of Joe Saunders, and
the partner, Ned Singleton, was well de-
lineated by Francis Powers. Miss Beatrice
Lieb gave en- impressive portrayal
of Mary Brandon, and the emo
tional passages in her part
were strongly drawn. Miss Margaret Mar
shall and Sam Morris furnished the chief
humor of the piece in the respective roles
of Posy Pentland and Wing Lee. !. David
Eimer's Characterization Of. the heavy
villain, Josiah Scraggs, showed careful
study and preparation, bur the role is
somewhat out of his line. The perform
ance is worthy of liberal patronage, and
will doubtless meet with due recognition
AT the hands of amusement seekers. In
the auditorium Miss Lulu Chapman and
Miss Lottie Quigley, refined song and
dance artists, scored considerable applause
in one of their topical songs, entitled
Eyes of Irish Blue" and the Bakers and
Messrs. Baldwin and Rixford contributed
largely to the success of novel and enter
