The figures of the final statement
were inspected, the cash counted, and
the office turned over to John B. Doak,
Tuesday morning. 1t was expected
that the board would appoint Thos.
Walker to the position, but for reasons
of their own they preferred democrat.
Mr.. Doak was the trusted treasurer of
the comfy for four years and a faith
full and competent officer, and so long
as the board decided to ignore the will
of q majority of the people in declaring
for republican treasurer two years
ago, we are sure that his appointment
will give universal satisfaction. Mr..
Doak filed strong bond with the fol-
lowing sureties: Theo. F. Morrow, F.
NJ. Leet, frank P. Bradley, Chas. Van
Gorder, John Hunter, A. H. Roberts
and VIM. Cloughly.
The formal transfer of the office was

to Issue Challenge.
Two weeks after the democratic con.
vention and one week after republican
nominations, after the republican can
didate for representative had filled
several appointments, and had more
slated, the democratic committee mus
tered up courage to issue the following
CHALLENGE.
AUDUBON, Oct II, 1888.
II. W. HANNA, Chairman Republican Com.
Dear Sir:-ln order that the people OF Audu-
bon county may be fully informed as to the
position OF the candidates for representative on
the issues OF the present campaign and thereby
be able to cast an Intelligent ballot on the 9TH OF
November next l hereby request you to meet
with me and make arrangements for a series OF
joint discussions between the republican candi-
date, M. ID. Reed, and the democratic nominee,
w. H. Brinkerhof; one meeting TO be held In
each township In the county. An early and
favorable reply is respectfullylrequested.

THE REPLY.
AUDUBON, Oct. IL, 1898.
j. 4. MCGUIRE, Chairman Democratic Com.
Dear Sir-Your favor Of this date received and
lied to change the appointments made by Mr..
Reed, as he has already arranged his meetings
for the campaign and hlled several OF them. lie
will doubtless present the issues Of the repub-
ican party as he understands them, and judg-
Ing from the attention given him the people are
pleased d, With his views; The way Is open for 70,
Yours, II. w HANNA,
Chairman Republican Com.
The democratic committee had
wasted two weeks of an unusually
short campaign in reaching the heroic
determination to issue challenge. 1t
had failed thus far to put its candidate
on the stump. In the two weeks past
neither the committee or Mr.. Brinker-
hotf had made an appointment. Mr..
Reed has improved the one week he
has been in the field with four appoint
ments and filled them with speeches
highly satisfactory to the people. He
has been able to draw large houses, to
fully occupy the time allotted, and it
further appearing that the democratic
committee is not as anxious as it pro.
fesses to get the issues before the peo-
pie, the proposition was declined in the
belief that the audiences would not be
increased by the addition of a demo-
cratic side show.
Mr.. Mcclure, of the committee, per-
sonally interviewed Mr.. Reed Monday
night, two days before the day on
which he issued the challenge, and
learned that that gentleman did not
wish to arrange for joint debates. Mr..
Reed told him that such discussions
were fruitful only of exaggerating de-
tails and were often the cause of per.
sonal wrangles which he preferred to
evade. And so it is clear that the com.
mittee did not have the courage to is
sue public challenge until it had
learne d by private interview that it
would be declined.

A NATIONAL LOSS.

As the ARGUS was going to press on
Wednesday evening of last week the
unwelcome, though not unexpected,
news reached us of the death of Ameri-
cas- noblest son, James q. Blaine. For
the past week the papers have been
filled with accounts of his death, fune-
raj, loving tributes of friends, and the
exploits OF his life from the cradle to
the grave. So familiar have our read
ers become with the history of this
great man that il is not necessary to go
into detail here.
In the death of James q. Blaine
nearly every American feels that he
has sustained a personal loss. Mr..
Blaine was an intense and thorough
American. There was nothing of the
aristocrat in his composition. He was
not child of luxury, but knew what ii
was to labor with his hands and brain
in early manhood. In after years all
the resources of his great intellect were
exerted for his country's welfare.
As statesman and politician he had
no equal. Had he been less of the lat.
ter the opportunities to display his
great talents would never have been
given him. In every office he filled
his matchless abilities came into play,
and the manner in which he handled
public questions won the hearty
approval of his political followers and
the admiration of his opponents. As a
political leader no other man ever
enjoyed in such complete measure the
love and answering loyalty of his
party. That he never reached the goa
of his ambition is due to the trickery oi
one who was jealous OF his great popu-
aIity aId power, and to another who
aimed to do him service. There are
millions of his fellow-countrymen to-
day who will regret that the ambition
of his life was not attained.
The past few years of Mr.. Blaine's
life were sad ones. The loss of those
dear to him came with crushing fire.
quency, yet he bore his grief manfully
and passed away with the heart of the
nation beating i'll common sympathy,
with all political lines obliterated.
Though dead, James q. Blaine has left
his impress upon the nation. The
record of his life is preserved by the
printers art. His deeds are indelibly
written in the memory of grateful
people, and future generations will sing
his praises while they drink anew at the
fountain of patriotism.

Other signs that the dark cloud of
depression under which the wooden
and worsted industries have been ex-
istlng during the past two years are
gradually passing away are, happily,
not wanting. The latest statistics to
hand concerning t he exports ofworsted
coatings from Yorkshire to the United
States are extremely satisfactory,
these during the month OF September
having been the largest on record. The
value OF the exports OF worsted coat
ings in August, 1890, a time when
shippers were moving heaven and earth
to get stocks into America before the
Mckinley tariff came into operation,
amounted 70 sS1, ,64S, an amount
which in August, this year, was ex-
ceeded by nearly ESQ, 900. The figures
in this connection for September have
not yet reached us, but they are un-
derstood to be most encouraging.

There is one change in the animal
bounty bill offered by Mr.. Goodell that
will not meet with approval by "wolf-
ers" or ranchmen, yet is probably a
wise provision. Heretofore any justice
of the peace could punch the skins and
issue certificate, and receive fee for
the work. Now this is duty lodged
only with the county clerk, who per-
forms it as part of. the work of his
office, receiving no fee therefor. The
,biect of this provision in the bill is to
10 away with the incentive offered to
Justices to issue certificates. While
this may in some instances prove a
hardship, owing to distance from the
county seat, yet it will not leave the
way open to the frauds that were pei
petrated in Choteau county.

Meagher county seems to he shin
new counties. 1t is now proposed to
Segregate that portion west of the Belt
range and with part of Jefferson form
| new coenty, to be known as Broad
water, while Cascade county is anx-
Ious to get a slice from the Northern
portion. This has justly aroused the
people of Meagher county to vigorous
opposition. The creation of Fergus
county was absolutely necessary, and
il left both counties with good, natural
boundaries, and with ample assessable
wealth to maintain county govern
ment. The present attempts at divis-
ion, however, appear to have little
merit, and border on spoliation. No
doubt the time will come when the
county can spare more of its territory,
but it has not reached that point in
population and wealth to admit of il
now. The movement is premature
and originates with few who can see
personal and political gain in the
accomplishment of their purpose. The
people of Meagher have just reason to
complain of the attempt to impoverish
if not dismember the county alto
sether. 1t looks very much rs though
these county formation schemes were
| getting Il little monotonous, although
there was urgent necessity for the
three already made.
