We are of The opinion from the calm
into which D. L. Robinson and W. A.
Belts, Alex. Clark, ct al seem to have
fallen since their return from that great
CD Pop gathering i'll Topeka, that they
failed to get something, or it may be
their supply Of gas has been exhausted
and they are only lying quiet until they
can generate another supply. Some
thing is radically wrong or they would
not at this time be so quiet.

A report reaches us that there has
been quite a race war between the white
and colored citizens of LangstOn city in
Which the property Of the whites is i'll
danger Of being destroyed. The trouble
arose, so rumor has it over the attempt
of the whites to run the town which is
chiefly colored settlement. But for
want of sufficient corroboration Of the
report, we look upon it as being a fake.

The Republican county central com.
mittee met last Saturday afternoon at

that Aug. 10th be the day upon which
to hold the primaries for the election Of

usual most harmonious one.

The Populists were going to remodel

their own party. But let us whisper to
you that they are too greedy for COL

The Republicans have a strong state
ticket. Every man Oh that ticket should
be fairly treated by our voters, whether
they be onr real choice or not. The fair
deal this year will kill all kinds of isms
and our object is to kill all except Re-
publicanism.

in Montana since the three-card monte
men hunted fresh woods and pastures

all who "turn aside after lucre, take
bribes and pervert Judgment" at the
beck of the czar of Anaconda, vault
into the arena, and if our people have
leisure to look on make a show OF
themselves. But to think that there
is an intellect SO feeble as to suppose
that any of these things will be taken
seriously by any OF our citizens, or
will influence them in the serious af-
fairs of this life, is a very mean esti-
mate of us which the 9th of November
will shiver to atoms. That quality of
campaigning might do in Central Afri-
ca, possibly in some parts OF Asia,
South America, or among our own alb
origines; but brought to Montana it
is an opprobrious imputation and ex-
cites a very justifiable resentment.

delegate Burke suggested VIM. Medigar.
We believe the convention had no au-
thority to use the name OF VIM Medigar
and had he received the nomination
he would have withdrawn. Deaton
received the nomination on the first
ballot by a vote of % to z. This re-
suit threw the convention into up
roar and in answer 70 loud cries of
"Deaton" the gentleman responded in
a short speech OF acceptance.
For treasurer j. S. Phillips placed
the name of John A. Doak OF Utica
before the convention and Edgar Boil
ing that of Louis Landt. "Who is
Doak" was the question heard on all
sides, not half dozen delegates knew
the man but he captured the nomina-
ton by a vote of 80 to 5. 1t was
afterwards learned that Doak was
formerly foreman for j. S. Huntoon
but left that gentleman s employ some
weeks ago and went to the state of
Washington where he will probably
remain.

BOWMAN-DEATON--DOAK.
The Nominees for State Senator, Sheriff and
Treasurer on the Independent Ticket

Saturdays convention of the Inde.
pendent voters OF Fergus county at.
tracted a large number of spectators
and manifestations of qualification OF
derision were frequent. The editor oi
the Geyser applauded vigorously the
mention of former Republican for a
place on the ticket but gave signs OF
extreme displeasure when a Democrat
was nominated. He assisted in run
ming the last convention and views
the results of his treachery with evil
dent disappointment.
When ID. HI. Linebarger called the
convention to order twenty delegates
were in their seats which number was
augmented by the arrival of eight
more before the afternoon session.
Temporary organization was effected
by the election of ID. III. Llnebarger
for chairman and Breck Ornbaun for
secretary. The committees appointed
by the chair were as follows:
Resolutions - Il. J. Frost, c. c.
David, III. p. Brooks, j. S. Phillips
and Breck Ornbaun.
Permanent Organization-A. Hop.
kins, Joseph Norman and Peter West
brook.
The first business in the afternoon
was the election of.permanent officers,
B. HI. Bowman being chosen chairman
and Il. J. Frost and j. S. Phillips sec.
retaries. The resolutions are short
They renounce allegiance on the part
OF the organization to all other politi.
cal parties; demand a reduction OF
county salaries; readjustment of ex.
isting tariff laws; free coinage OF silver
at a ratio of Is to l and that silver
be n legal tender in the payment OF all
debts public and private.
The committee on permanent or.
ganization had reported an order ol
business by which the nomination foI
sheriff was to have been made first
Chairman Bowman ignored this how,
ever and called for nominations foI
state senator. Mr.. Ornbaun arose
and much to the pain of the delegates
and spectators, said that he would
like to give them his opinions on politi
cal principles. One delegate asked
"what is the question before the
house." and received a reply of, ''as
to how long this fellow will talk
His eloquence was inspiring, his man
ner commanding, his arguments un
answerable and his entire discourse q
ridiculous jargon.
Again the chairman called for nomr
nations for state senator and III. p
Brooks arose and placed in nomina
ton that tower of enlightened man
hood, Benson HI. Bowman. Not wait
ing for further nominations and whil'
the delegates smiled, Mr.. Bowman
put his name to the convention fol
their approval. 1t was carried anl
the chairman's visage beamed will
pride.
In the same manner ID. III. Line
barger, ex-treasurer of jefferson
county, was nominated for represent
ative. For sheriff C. C. David pre-
sented the name of w. ID. Deaton an,
