AFTER.

Our heart was moved as we DER
looked the field of battle. Where
stood brave men with eyes dilated
with expectant hope of honors politi-
cal, lay limp forms with aspirations
blighted. Hope carefully nursed and
fed with cheering words from near
and dear friends lay withered in the
frost of an early September night.
Men brave and full of fire and zeal
who but few short hours before had
rep eatedly led the van of the charge
on the pick of the county lay just out
side the breastworks. Radiant faces
full of hopeful smiles wearing an un-
folded tale of good things in store
that had been so pleasant to look
upon ere the sun had bid them a joy
GUS au revoir we're now rigid and grim
in hopeless despair. Men strong and
brave who had walked with firm and
confident tired into the capacious area
at high noon now lay pitiably await
ing renewed vitality. Men with bright
visions of the future, joyous with anti
cipation, who had famed their hopes
into flame but recently, now looked
dazed, blear-eyed and collapsed. The
pompous, sanguine, dictatorial auto
crat of early dawn lay now stiff.
In contrast with and around this field
of blasted hopes and aspirations stand
the chosen few not in tears and sor-
row becoming the occasion; mot with
faces sympathetic and Kind but with
visages joyous and wreathed in smiles
of realized hope. These we're the
conquering heroes. They stand with
eyes fixed hitherwards, however, scan
ming the curtain of time with mixed
hope, joy, uncertainty and doubt, and
well may they for the future is clouded
in doubt though the sunshine of hope
leads them to believe that the hori-
zon's drapery of uncertainty may ere
the ides of November, be gently drawn
aside by the benign hand of dame for
tune. So may it be

JUDGE FRANK P. STERLING.

The many friends of Judge Frank P.
Sterling are elated over the graceful
manner he acquitted himself in the
recent county convention. His sold
ierly form, with a tongue eloquent
and convincing, will be a conspicuo
figure on the stump this fall. AS usual
he will be foremost in advocacy of
the election of the ticket presented
by his party. 1t is rumored, and pro.
badly without the Judges knowledge
or consent, that his name will be pre-
sented for the iudgeship of depart
ment No. ] of the district court of the
is county soon to become vacant by the
election of Judge w. H. Hunt to the
supreme bench, which politics al friends
and foes concede is foregone certrin-
ty. The Judge is eminently fitted
and should he allow his name to be
used there is no doubt he will COM
mand such a strong following as to
assure his elevation to the position so
worthily and acceptably filled by
Judge Hunt.

We have none but words of the
highest commentator for the gentle.
man who was made the nominee for
coroner by the late republican county
convention. We believe that if elec-
ted-and the impression seems to pre-
vail that he will be by very hand
some majority-he will perform the
duties Of the Office to the best of his
ability and perhaps more zealously
than his advanced age would justify,
yet we are constrained to enter pro-
test against the long line of prece-
dents broken when the convention
sought and selected a nominee for
coroner outside of the medical pro-
fession. True the law does not make
1t mandatory that the coroner shall
be a regular physician, but it must be
remembered that the existing statute
Is relic of territorial days and that
all up-to-date commonwealths de-
mand that their coroners shall be
regular physicians. This is at it
should be. The profession should oe
respected and encouraged and when
places are to be filled requiring more
or less medical training let the fra
ternity become the beneficiary. So
we say in this case. The Colored Citi-
zen Is for the right all the time. 1t
shall know no party when it comes to
question of right. 1t tshall recognize
no party lines so taut that it will
not cut them asunder when right and
justice demand it. 1t shall reserve
the right to criticise nominations and
work for the defeat of nominees where
cause exists. Believing that such a
course is the province of an indepen-
dent journal it feels satisfied in Its
own convictions.

A SOUTHERN PASSOVER.
is i'usual The Victims are Blacks.

Whose sheddeth Mans Blood by Man Shall
his Blood be Also She'd
We note with feelings of shame ana
horror another slaughter OF Southern
colored citizens. This time the scene
of butchery is near Memphis, Ten
nessee-the victims number siX-the
shotgun process was the means EN-
ployed and barn-burning the ofense
alleged. We strongly favor punish
ment of offenses against the law. We
do not ask sentimental sympathy In
this or other cases of massacre in the
South in which the victims have been
colored citizens. We advocate the
strict enforcement of justice in all
cases where guilt is judicially estab-
lished.' But we do strenuously protest
against lynch law. OF the many non
judicial execution of black men in the
South for alleged offenses, in no single
case dare the perpetrators claim that
resort thereto was rendered necessary
through fear of a miscarriage of JUS
tice. In every case che machinery OF
the courts lay in the hands of the men
or their friends, who committed these
butcheries, hence the fear of justice
being thwarted cannot be pleaded in
excuse.
The idea seems to prevail and is
apparently quite popular in the South
that the black man has no judicial
or other rights that should be %re-
spected. This idea is undoubtedly the
outgrowth of certain existing condi-
tions which parasitic like are gradu-
ally but surely destroying the vitality
of what should ordinarily be the most
prosperous section of the Union-the
section that offers the greatest in
ducements to capital and immigra-
tion, but which, alas, turns away in
disgust and horror because of these
oft repeated atrocities. These wrongs
can only be corrected by a change of
public sentiment in the South. Let
the North take up the cudgel and
cease not until such a sentiment shall
be worked up against these barbara
ties that they will cease to be longer
popular.

YES, PUT I'm OUT.

The people are just itching to get a
whack at the national democratic
party. Election day can come none
too soon. The following from recent
speech of Senator Lodge is chuck full
of good common sense:
'The first step toward prosperity will
be to stop these raids of the Demo
cratic party upon the industrial and
business systems of the country. This
can be done by the people themselves,
and by no one else. If they return the
Democrats to power in the House next
November we may look forward to
renewed changes and to a continu-
ance of all the troubles we have had
during the past year, If the people
want to stop these assaults upon our
industries and upon our rates of wages
and take the first step toward better
times they will return a Republican
majority TO the next House"

NOTICE TO CANDIDATES..
Whisky, Cigars and Blarnsy Not Wanted.

We wish to say few words of faith
erly advice to those gentlemen who
were honored with nominations by the
recent republican county convention.
We presume they earnestly desire to
secure as many of the three hundred
and fifty colored voters of this county
as possible. They can't be had for
whisky, cigars and pat on the shoul-
der. Money spent that way is wasted.
True, those who drink and smoke will
take whisky and cigars when offered
by generous candidates, but what re-
suits are thereb; Sbtained2 1t must
be borne in mind that only few of
our colored voters can be reached
this way, and even those who do con-
descend to consume the vile articles
peddled out by anxious Office seekers
do so in perfunctory manner. The
average colored voter of to-day wants
to know facts and figures concerning
candidates. Give us your record
tell us in black and white what you
will do to promote and advance our
welfare as a people-gi'e US cam
paign of education and not of whisky,
cigars and blarney. The sooner this
course is pursued the better. The
average candidate thinks all he has

Laughing all the time in his sleeve
how easy it is to coddle 'em). Such
campaigning means the loss of a large
number OF thinking colored voters
who will resent such tactics to the
extent of voting for the 'other fell
ler." The candidate who figures on
getting by on whisky, cigars and
blarney will have his name called out

A WILD SCENE OF FRENzIED ENTHUSIASM.
Hartman Hartman! hartman! Hartman
Came From Every Part Of the Hall.

We venture to say that not since
the nomination of James G.. Blaine
by the national republican conven-
tion at Chicago in 1884 for president,
has there been such another wild
scene of frenzied enthusiasm as
greeted the presentation by Senator
Sanders of the name of Hon. Charles
S rman tor congressman. Hardly
h he name of our distinguished
representative fallen from the sena-
tors lips than the whole convention,
to a man, rose and such an outburst
of demonstrative enthusiasm burst
forth as rarely falls to the lot of man
to see or hear. Even after he had
been thus nominated so exhuberant
was the admiration of the convention
for the distinguished nominee that
the whole convention instantly again
were to their feet and gave three
lusty, rousing cheers with vigorous
and savage tiger. These exhilerat-
ing scenes, enlivened by popular
strains from the band, made a scene
sublimely grand and picturesque.

LACK OF HARMONY AMONG LEADERS.

To an unbiased observer 1t is ap-
parent that there Is lack of har-
mony among the leaders of the Repub-
lican party of this county. Whether
1t Is the result of the clash arising
from a multiplicity of brainy men
with adverse interests or conflicting
political ambition, or a desire to rule
or ruin, is matter demanding speedy
and satisfactory solution. While this
community should feel proud of its
bright galaxy of leaders of national
reputation yet it should insist upon
harmony among them. Oftimes poll
tical constituencies imbibe or absorb
the characteristics of their leaders,
just as an army does of its officers.
Bold, determined and aggressive COM
manders are reflected in the rank and
file. Harmony of action so essential
among military leaders Ia quite as
much SO among political leaders. It
is requisite that the Republican party
of this county should present solid
front to assure victory and secure
solid legislative delegation. Then let
the leaders set the example by getting
together and working for the success
of the party regardless Of consequen-
ces to self. What matter it to the
party-the rank and file-who gets
the rake-off. The object to be at
tained is party supremacy. Who
shall be the beneficiary cuts no figure
with voters. Our array of talent ex-
pectant of honors is of such high
order without exception that no mis-
take can be made no matter whom of
them the political lightning may
strike. The internal pickering though
on the surface apparently trivial is
gradually working the disintegration
of what should be cemented, solid
and harmonious band of political
brethren. Then let the leaders bury
their individual aspirations, sheave
their knives, shake hands and work
for the election of solid Republican
legislative delegation. After which
let the best man win, and be it said to
the credit of our common folk that
seldom do they make a mistake in Sc
lecting a choice worthy and creditable
to the state and nation.

returning to their constituents with
their honor above suspicion or re-
proach.

For the past few days, and especially
during the killing frost that fell on
the night of the county convention,
friends took the precaution to lower
the glass cover of our senatorial hot
house that not even these vigorous
plants should be subjected to the
blighting and killing frost that swept
over the city Wednesdays early dawn
and laid low so many political aspir-
ants. In order that these strong and
hardy plants should not devitalize
each the other, we raised the cover a
day or so ago, and 10 and behold, just
peeping above the fertile bed was a
fifth plant, healthy, strong and vigor-
Gus and actively struggling for su-

while they looked down with cynical
smiles, yet in the corner of the mouth
could be detected by close observer

as can we, of so many bright stars
of the first magnitude. Hence they
shall all receive very careful atten-

and approval shall beam increasingly
on them, properly bedewed at inter
walls with the tears of smothered

A CHALLENGE TO THE WORLD.

We venture to affirm that no county
convention in this Union has had or
will have on the floor at one and the
same time as many live and aspiring
candidates for the United States SEN
ate as had our recent county conven-
tion. They were there and appar-
emily as unconcerned as though there
was nothing at stake. Judging from

have been four times eight instead of
simply eight nominees for the legis'

and how he has evolved from a grossly
illiterate dago in 1892 and to an act
i've worker for the location of the
permanent capital of this state in
1894. We quote for the benefit of
thoughtful voters.
"In November 1889 Marcus DAILY the
Montana boss voted 400 .dagos en-
ployed by him in his copper works at
Anaconda-now aspiring to become
the capital city of that stately
pinning to each one of them a print
ed tag and driving them as band of
sheep to the polls. Printed on these
tags was the following: 4 can neith-
er speak, read nor write the English
language, but 1 wish to vote the
straight Democratic ticket Ard
they voted it 400 strong"
In November 1892 this genus dago,
a la DAILY, had so far evolved as to
make his wants known by word of
mouth as follows:
"Mea noa Gamma .reada noa writa,
but mea wanta to vota da strata DEM
ocrata ticket" And they did to a
man just as boss DAILY directed.
In November 1894 ever abreast with
the procession this same genus dago
will be herded to the polls and Ia
parrot will say in broken tones, "Mea
noa Gamma reada, noa writa, but mea
wanta toa vota fora da Anaconda for
da capitalla. HELENA noa gooda.
