MR..

Hon. Thomas H. Carter was inter
viewed by a reporter for the Inter
Ocean during his brief stay in Chicago,
while en- route to his home in Helena.
Mr.. Carter stated that before leaving
Washington he called on the president
with whom he had Il very agreeable in
tcrview. 1t WAS gratifying to him to
hear the president express his appreci-
alton OF the efforts of the committee
and all loyal republicans throughout
the campaign. He has neither COM
plant nor criticism to offer, and only
regrets that his last sad affiiction pre-
vented him from taking such part as he
might properly have taken In present
ing 10 the country the claim of the Re-
publican party for approval.
Speaking of the result of the election
Mr.. Carter, among other things, said:
ut will never be a disci edit to the Re-
party to have attention called to
the historic fact that it was defeated at n
time when the country had obtained under
its wise administration the climax OF
AoFINiAtf- W EhA SCbAA
not have been brought about solely by
tariff schedules as at present arranged. IL
will be found that the antagonism between
and labor has caused the labOring
people of the country, through "A misuuder-
standing, to deal a blow at IA friendly POI
litical organization largely OF their own ere
alton. Every patriotic citizen will sincerely
hope that the toilers of the land may be
spared much OF the suffering which like mis-
takes in the past have brought about.
The Republican party finds no consolation
in England or on the continent OF Europe
in its our of defeat. The capital and labor
OF foreign lands unite with the Democratic
party in its ratification. Throughout it's
history tine Republican party has been an
unpopular party ia England and it is but
natural that all England should unite la
the defeat of the industrial sys-
tenn which has caused this country to pros

A Com .iment to Mckinley.

Cincinnati fimes-Star: 1t is a SPLEEN
did compliment to Gov. Mckinley's
craftsmanship that when the me- who
have been denouncing his tariff law as
robbery, have an opportunity to re-
peal it they dare not touch it. The
compliment must be as gratifying to
the governor as it Is unexpected, but
it leaves his critics IL an uncomfort-
able dilemma. The law Is either rob-
berry or it is not. II it is not they are
guilty of falsehood in saying that it is,
and If 1t is they are guilty of "a gross
betrayal OF IL sacred trust in rot put
ring "a stop to the robbery at the earl
lest moment practicable.

Don't.

New York Mail and Express: Don't
make for the Republican Ma
tional politics on the tariff or money
question. They're all right!
Don't accuse the Republican Nation
al committee, or its chairman, OF lack
of energy, industry or ability. They're
all right!
Don't saythe result might have been
different with other candidates, for it
wouldn't.
Don't join the Democratic cry, ''The
tariff did it," This Nation is still for
protection by a large majority.
Above all, don't worry because the
Democrats are in control. They won't
be there long.

In many of the eastern states the
plan Is being adopted that no applI-
cauts petition for IL federal appoint
ment will be considered without it is
properly endorsed 10y the state and To-
cal central committees. This is "a most
splendid idea and we hope that it will
he adopted and rigidly adhered To in
Montana. 1t is only right and just that
local central committees should have a
voice in the selection of local appointees
as they are in "a position to know ex-
actly as to who do and who do not
merit official preferment.-MudG eyser.
With Thomas Jefferson Johns as
chairman of the Democratic county
committee aud his faction in control of
the party machinery in the county, the
plan advocated 10y the Mud Geyser
would be pretty smooth for the conf
biur. Scott Is an applicant for the reg
istcrship Of the land office. and it would
be ne t;ick 1T MI 10 get the endorse
meut Of his partner as chairman of the
local committee ; but how would the
old, tried and true democrats nj the
county like to have hat fellow J0hus
determine exactly who do and who do
not merit official prefcrmruI?" The
scheme is very pretty, but the demo-
Gratis Of the county will see that Johns
and Scott do not have the saying as To
who shall occupy the federal uilic,s
under the incoming administration.

Fergus county will be represented in
the coming legislature 10y Il solid Re
publican delegation-one senator and
two representatives gain of two
members since the last general election.
Had other counties done as well as
Fergus there would be no question As
TO the political complexion Of the legis-
lature. In this connection it might be
in point to say that the Democracy, as
a party, has made no gains of import
ance as regards county government.
1t has elected one commissioner, sher-
if. superintendent of schools and coun-
ty attorney. As the party bad the
sheriff, one commissioner and the super
intendent of schools, il has only gained
the county attorney.

PROSPECTS OF BETTER SERVICE.

Postmaster Gray informs us that
while IN Great Falls aud Helena he did
what he could to have our mail serv-
ice improved between this point and
The Falls. He laid the matter before
the postmaster at the Falls and also
before the postofice inspector, and
has hopes OF securing a change for the
better. To make matters worse, the
great Belt Mountain railroad now
runs only two trains a week. Mr..
Gray says that the paper sack is hen
left at the station, it apparently being
nobody's business to look after the
transfer. This is II fine state OF affairs

j. S. Shipman.

With much pleasure we call the
attention of our readers to the an
nouncemcnt OF J. s. Shipman of
Carrollton as 4 can .idu,e for the
office OF Assessor Of Carroll county.
Mr.. Shipman is Il young man OF an
questionable ability, and is n
straight forward gentleman. He
is well known to the people Of
Carroll county, as he WAS born,
reard and educated in cur midst.
We think his claim should receive
the careful consideration of his par
ty. Should he be successful he will,
beyond question, fill the Office IN
manner ti'at will reflect credit on
himself and his party. He is
"Sterling" democrat, and, cfconrse,
is subject to the action OF the dem
ocrat party.
