where there is no danger from maraud
ing Indians, and 10 end gained save tina
of securing the expenditure Of, the sal
aries Of the officers and men, for the sup
port of the city of Helena, which woul'
appear to a thinking man rather in tn
interest of the few than of the people o
the whole state.
Immediately upon the installment OF
the Hon. Messrs. Power and Sanders il
the senate, and the verbose Mr.. Carte
in the house, Power introduced a bill il
the senate providing for the examination
Of the mineral lands embraced within
the forty-m,le grant to the Northern Pa
citc railroad, also providing that in theil
stead arabic lands should be given. Mr.
Sanders raised his voice in sonorous,
laundering tones in advocacy of this
measure. Mr.. Carter stood with abated
breath in the house to receive this bill
and force it through that body of our
national legislature. We say this meas
ure, il passed, would have taken the
bread from the mouths of our people
and given them a stone.
"ln the face of the foregoing facts does
1t appear that this trio worked ably and
honestly in the interests of their con-
stituency?
ut is evident to all parties, reasonably
informed, that these officers-our repre-
sentatives-have appropriated to their
own use and private benefit all, or nearly
SO, the occupancy for grazing of cattle
upon the several Indian reservations.
Not less than 10000 head upon the Grow
lands alone. Let us inquire how they
have done this.
Through the offices intrusted to them
by the people they have forced every
yrazer upon the Crow reservation to. sur

partners. :
"Nearly every contract for supplying
military posts and Indian agencies in the
states of Montana and Idaho, which
amounts to several millions of dollars,
point to secret partners of these benefac-
.ors of the people of Montana.
Enquire of George w. Wakefield, who
compelled him to retire from the Ma

transportation business, which he had
been building up for years. Investigate

the recent past which produced
,reenbacks instead of precious ores or
ascertain who established the
government dry dock of Puget sound,

trends as we'll.
lis this mans name Carter, who is
skiing your support in order to assist
he people of Montana? We ask for
What? Is it another dry dock? Is it
or more park transportation, or is it for

coined and stamped? Or is 1T
or more Notwithstanding public lands

"This triumvirate will retire to it's pri-
ate recesses and there plot to fleece

When it issues forth upon the streets
gain Mr.. Carter very confidently will
ay: Il am bitterly opposed to Senator
