THE rnuE yoIcE OF eALLArIS,


That the earnest appeal OF the Hon,
w. a. Clark. OF Butte to the people OF
the Gallatn valley. in his speech at
Bozemau last night. met with prompt
and hearty response from his hearers
Is not TO be wondered at, for the people
OF the Gallatin country respect and
honor Mr.. Clark and the sentiments he
uttered were their thoughts put into.
words.
Less than two years ago the people OF
the Gallatin valley witnessed the defeat
OF Mr.. Clark for the senate by the same
menacing forces that are now seeking
TO undermine the liberties OF the people
of the entire state. The Issues are prac-
tlcally the same to-day. II is fight OF
state against a corporation and In the
contest the people of Gallatin join In a
common cause with the people OF Hell
ena. The efforts that have been made
by Daly's agents 10 ALLEVIATE the two
sections have failed. The interests OF
Helena and her fair eastern neighbor
are identical and nothing can put them
asunder. The sentiments of the Gala
tin valley as expressed by that leading
exponent OF free thought, the Bozeman
Chronicle, stand true today. These
are its Well-chosen words:

Bozeman Chronicle. March I, 1893.
We have read several comments upon
the late senatorial contest which voiced
| the sentiment that Hon. w. A. Clark was
politically dead. The fight has passed
into history; there is Just one thing TO
do, and that is for the democratic party
TO avoid Marcus DAILY as they would vi
per; but as for Mr.. Clark. he Is more
popular than ever with his party. The
experiences he has undergone at the
hands Of a vindictlve man have created
for him a bond OF sympathy which will
be everlasting. Time will prove the truth
OF this assertion.
Bozeman Chronicle, Feb. II. 1893.
The speedy erection of Fort Harrison
at Helena is matter which concerns
this valley TO a great extent. The mass
ing of from ten to twenty companies at
that point means the consumption of a
vast supply OF forage. which this valley
possesses and can supply on short notice
at prices which make competition I'm
possible.
Bozeman Chronicle. Feb. rs. 1898.
Fort Harrison post will also be OF great
value to Gallatin valley. II will require
at least 100000 pounds of oats ana n
vast amount OF hay each year to feed
the horses OF this garrison. At present
writing the GallRtin valley Is the only
one which can come anywhere near sup
plying this demand and. owing to Its close
proximity, will be the only one looked to
| for these products in the years TO come.

ticulary 10 Helena. which, as we have
| said before, seems TO be very undemon-

that II is entitled TO everything that
comes along. and that the post naturally
landed there.
