The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1894-09-15
ESTABLISHED 1890.

We favor the adoption by the
nation and the state of liberal and
comprehensive policy for the reclaim
alton of our arid lands, with such
provisions as shall afford effectual
safeguards against monopolies of
the soil or of the water necessary to
its useful cultivation.
We recommend the furthur elimi-
nation of Indian reservations from
the map of this state, and believe the
time is now at hand when every In
dian should have and be required to
live on his lloted farm, and that all
other lands, with their vast mineral,
agricultural and pastoral wealth
should be opened to the occupation
and uses of cililized man.
We congratulate the people of
Montana upon the decision rendered
by the supreme court of the United
States affirming their right to the
mineral lands within the grant to the
Northern Pacific railroad, and we
denounce the action Of the Interior
Department in the adoption Of regu-
lations manifestly prejudicial to the
enjoyment of the rights which have
been thus judicially established.
We demand that the youth of
Montana shall receive, free of cost,
the inestimable blessings of an edu-
cation that shall fit them to wear the
crown of American sovereignty.
We express our enthusiastic ap-
probation of the diligence, zeal and
fidelity of Hon. Thomas c. Power
and Hon. Charles S. Hartman, our
Senator and Representative in Con-
gress, in guarding and promoting
the interests of Montana, represent
ing with unswerving duty the great
patriotic and benefcient principles
of the Republican party.
We endorse the administration of
Hon. John K. Richards, Governor of
Montana, and commend especially
r the frmness with which he protected
: the state from the shame and dis
e grace of special session of the third
$ Legislative assembly.
, We denounce as unworthy Of con-
: fdence those Republican members
1 of the Legislative assembly who be-
T trayed their party principles and
e party associates by casting their
e votes in Senatorial election for
e Democrat who has ever been fret
e and foremost in opposition to Repub-
licans and Republican principles.
# And we futhur express our contempt
), for any man who, to crafty his am
e bition for office, seeks by bribery
d and corruption to accomplish his
If desires.
d The Republican party is fitted by
y qualities and history for the era upon
j. which it has now fallen, in which
new issues have been projected for
e discussion and determination. Or
r iginally organized to limit in the
W United States the spread of human
l. slavery, it has seized and determined
a with wise discretion every new
l. question which during its supremacy
= has arisen with courage and mod
Grafton which has exacted the hon.
a. age of patriotism and given it un'
I'd fading renown. 1t asserted and aug.
