year or so after said marriage the defendant
abandoned the plaintiff and went as she is
informed, to the State of Ohio where he is at

A New York city editor spent two days with
ex- President Harrison and talked with him
about the next Republican nomination for
President. He says third nomination would
be very ''repugnant'' to the ex-President, but
when asked the direct question, would not say
that Mr. Harrison would not accept if the
nomination were rendered him.

1t has conducted a clean and honest
campaign. 1t has homes and children.
and wives and mothers and sisters the
equals of those of Helena. 1t lie not an
alien foe but an American, Montana city
in all that the term implies. In location
it is superior, and in all the other ele.
ments excepting population, the equal Of
Helena. There is no reason why it should
not aspire to be the capital. Helena ALEC
wants it. 1t, too, has a right to be a
candidate, but both the men and women
of Helena are begging the question when
they declare "they have taken the field
in the cause of the common veal" They
have done no such thing. Their object
is purely a personal and a selfish n
Their homes are at Helena and they own
property there. If the capital be located
there their homes and property will be
benefited. Only this and nothing more.
Let them cease prating about patriotism
or cease scattering libels all over the land
with the sole object of sullying the fair
name and injuring the credit Of the
state. 1t can do them no good and ex-
poses the weakness of their cause.
