A STRONG TICKET.
Good From Top 10 Bottom.

A stern duty cOnfronts the repub-
licans of this county and state. Face
to face they stand to democracy and
yopulism-two allies ever ready to
fuse when political advantage can be
gained thereby to either one or both
of said parties. Opposed to the re-
publican hOsts-representatives of
progress, sound money, prosperity,
protection, plenty, business activity
and the general welfare of the whole
country-are the demoralized, shat.
tered, panic stricken and bedraggled
democratic cohorts, eager and ready,
though unfit and incompetent to
grapple successfully with affairs of
state, to seize the public offices that
they may thrive and grow sleek and
tat to again fasten themselves to the
vitals of the nation and gnaw away
thereat. Also opposed to the valor-
Gus republican hosts and ready to
pounce down upon them are the om-
nivorous, blatant and wild-eyed popu-
listic horde, eager and ready to mob
like rush in and seize by force the af-
fairs of government.
Thus confronted and threatened
there is but one thing for good citi-
zens-republlcaus-to do. To the res
cue of the nation they must come.

government and law and order they
must. United TO do so they must be

Judge B. F. Woodman, who has so
long and acceptably filled the posi-

William r. Whitaker, republican
candidate for public administrator, is
a gentleman worthy and capable to

Arthur j. Craven is undoubtedly one

candidate for coroner, has steadily
grown in favor since his name has
been before the public. His expert

son county will stand him well in hand
and he will enter upon the duties of
his Office not as a novice, but as an
official thoroughly equipped in every

man of fine attachments and popular
with the masses and we predict his
election by handsome majority.

SAMUEL A. BALLET.
For county Attorney.

The republicans of this county have
nominated for county attorney that
sterling and capable lawyer, Hon. S.
A. Ballet. Mr.. Ballet is so well and
favorably known to the citizens of
this county that it is deemed unnec-
essary to go into details as to his
qualifications, standing, popularity,
etc. The fact that he has before
filled the important position to which
he now aspires in a manner that re-
hected credit upon himself and gave
satisfaction to his constituents, is all
that need be here referred to. OF a
quick, bright and sunny tempera-
ment, his popularity is universal. Mr..
Ballet is an able attorney and will
bring to the position for which he is a
candidate a ripe experience as a
fearless prosecuting attorney who
will conduct the Office from the start
in the best interest of the state. Mr..
Ballet is making an active and
thorough canvass with view to roll
ing up for himself and the balance of
the ticket an old-time republican ma
iority.

HON. JOHN 8. TOOKER
For county Clerk aud Recorder.

EX-Gov- John S. Tooker, the repub-
lican nominee for county clerk and
recorder, is rated among the most
popular, best known and most highly
respected citizens of Lewis and Clarke
county. Space does not permit re-
view of his active and useful life,
neither is ii deemed necessary to
present the same in these columns,
for every leaf of the volume is we'll
known to our citizens, who have on
more than one occasion had the OPP
portunity to show their esteem by
electing him to positions of honor and
trust by signiiican large majorities.
Gov. Tooker has served most accepta-
bly, for the past several years as
clerk and recorder of this county,
and to the entire satisfaction of
most exacting constituency. There
is TO Office in the county requiring
greater exactness of detail and more
careful and faithful supervision of
matters and things than that so
faithfully, conscientiously and ac-
ceptably presided over by Mr.. Tooker.
His candidacy for reelection meets
with the hearty and responsive APP
proval of a very large majority of
our citizens, and his supporters and
admirers predict that he will be re-
elected by a larger majority than
ever before. IL reelected, he will
strive in the future as in the past to
give the same efficient, business-like
and painstaking administration.

iFRO-iMERICAN REPUBLICAN CLUB.

The Afro-American Republican
club, President J. p. Ball, Sr., in the
chair, had large and enthusiastic
meeting last Wednesday night. Coles

excellent music. The club attended
to routine business, discussed the is
sues of the campaign, etc, etc, after
which the club was entertained by an
able and spicy address by Col. II. A.
Hawkins, of Marysvi!le. The address
was both instructive and interesting,
and was frequently punctured with
hearty applause. The colonel was in
one of his happy veins, and the club
regretted that his acquaintance had
not been made earlier in the cam
paign. Judge b. +. Woodman also
delivered an interesting address.

We take pleasure in bringing be-

United States department surveyors

city. We can thoroughly recommend
him as county surveyor, as he has
been over all parts of Lewis and
Clarke county. and we dare say can
give account of having been on most
every square mile of same. As there
is practically no opposition to Mr..
Bickel, he Will he elected by 4 hand
some majority.

HON. CIIAS \. HARTMAN.

Our popular and brilliant young

and effective canvass of the state,
and from every quarter comes most
cheering news that his plurality will
he greatly increased over that of two

the possibility of him securing a

This would be a fitting tribute to our
worthy young congressman, and it is
to be hoped that the people will see it
in that light and roll up a big major
ity for him.

JUDGE DECIUS 4. WADE.

JuuSS DGCluS ., w due, one OF the
republican legislative nominees for
Lewis and Clarke county, is native
OF Ohio and a nephew of the late
United States Senator Benjamin f.
Wade, who for years was a striking
and conspicuous figure in national
politics. Early in life, after having
graduated and entered upon the prac-
tice of his chosen profession, the law,
Judge Wade was elected a member of
the Ohio senate, where he took an
active part in the stirring political
issues of the day and helped to frame
the fifteenth amendment to the con.
stitution of the United States, which
secured 70 every citizen the right to
vote, irrespective of race, color or
previous condition.
He was appointed chief justice of
Montana March II, 1871, by President
Grant, reappointed by President
Grant, by President Hayes and by
President Arthur, and served as chief
| justice for sixteen years and until the
I'd of May, 1887. His decisions in the
supreme court are contained in the
first six volumes of Montana Reports.
He laid the foundation of Montana
law and may justly be called the
father of Montana Jurisprudence.
He is no politician, and accepted
of his nomination to the legislative
assembly with the greatest relutance.
Since his retirement from the bench
he has spent two years in codifying
| the Statutes of Montana. Our stat
utes stand in great need of being
overhauled and the matter is of sue h
urgency that immediate ac tion should
be had in the premises. Judge Wade
is well qualified for this task, for he
is well acquainted from his long ex-
perience on the bench, and as law
yer in practice, with all the statutes
of the territory and state and with all
the decisions of the courts.
Judge Wade will make a most valu.
able member of tie legislature, as
there are many very important laws
that must be enacted to carry into
effect the provisions of the constitu.
ton. and his ripe experience in such
matters will aid materially to ac'
complish that end. In view of the
fact that there are two United States
senators to be elected by the incom
ing legislature the very best mate
rial should only be sent as members
and as Judge Wade Is of high stand
ing, thoroughly honest and ire
proachable, his presence in the legis
lature would be a guarantee tina,
there would he no repetition of the
deplorable occurrences of two years
ago, if by voice and action such
schemes could be thwarted. He is 4
staunch republican and has been from
early age up, having voted for Abra
ham Lincoln for president. Judge
Wade is n student and a man of let
tiers, and is so thoroughly versed il
the law and the needs of our state
that his election to the legislature
would indeed be most valuable ac
quisition to that body, which would
not only reflect credit upon the peO
pie of Lewis and Clarke, but upon the
state at large. Judge Wade is popu
lar with all Glasses and is held IL
high esteem and regard by our citi
zens, irrespective of party, and We
predict for him such an overwhelm
ing majority that the people them
selves will feel proud of the roya
manner in which true worth, ability
and fitness Is recognized by crate
full and appreciative constituency.
