BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF EACH
The state and County Nominees on
the Republican Tickets All Ex-
cellent Men, and Who will I'm
dOubtedly be Eitcted ON the
Sixth Day OF November.

Never before in the history OF Montana
was the success of the republican party
more fully assured than it is this year.
The misrule and Encouragement of the
democratic party has taught the people
that the country is not safe in the hands
OF the Cleyelandites, and general
rebuke Of their doctrine will be sounded
from coast to coast when the ballots are
counted on November 9th. In Montana
the democrats have had the effrontery
to reaffirm their adherence to the demo-
cratic platform OF 1892 and to express
their cordial approval Of the administra-
tion Of Grover Cleveland. But had not
the democrats proved themselves SO
utterly unfit for the management Of our
government. and conceeding them equal
ability for such responsibility, the names
on the republican ticket are sufficient in
themselves to command the support of
every loyal voter in Granite county.
FOR CONGRESSMAN.
The republican state convention made
a wise selection when it nominated Hon.
Charles S. Hartman to represent the
people OF Montana in the house of con-
gress of the United States. The record
OF Mr.. Hartman is before the people Of
the United States and of Montana, and
his party invites attention and scrutiny
Of that record. There is no record Of a
time since Mr.. Hartman, has been in
congress, when the interests Of our people
have been under consideration, but what
he has been present with his great
ability and his indefatigable labor to
defend our every right, and he has
always commanded for us the respect Of
the house by his clear, logical and
forcible arguments. He is with the
people on every proposition, and the
gratitude and support Of the people
should and will be the reward OF merit.
| FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.
Judge VIM. II. Hunt, for the position
of associate justice Of our supreme court,
is man who has no peer in the state for
upholding the honor and dignity Of that
position. It has been wisely said that
we cannot be too careful about our
supreme court. We want men in it
whose decisions will be looked to as
precedents; whose opinions will be quoted
with certainty by attorney and listened
to with consideration by judges Of other
states. Judge Hunt possesses the ability
to fulfill all such requirements
:, FOR STATE SENATOR.
No less worthy OF consideration are the
men whose names are on our ticket for
the offices within the gift of the people
Of Granite county. For state senator we
have DR.. James NJ. Sigh, of Granite,
man loyal to his party and the people he
asp1res to represent. The voters Of
Granite county need no introduction to
him. They all know him and are fully
aware that no abler represent tative of the
people could possibly be selected. He is
a true: blue American and an ardent
advocate of the free-coinage Of silver at
a ratio Of 16 to /. The doctor is widely
known throughout the state, and his
influence among men in public positions
would be OF gain to Granite county on
the floor of the state senate. He is also
fully cognizant of the requirements OF
the people and is possessed with the
ability to promote such suffrages in a
manner that would reflect credit to the
people who sent him there.
