PRIMARIES.
Committee Men Falter on the
Adoption of a Name.
TIME GROWING SCARCE
Candidates and Prospective Candidates
Asked to Meet the Standing Com
mittee Next Friday Evening.

A meeting of the Republican Standing
Committee was held in the rooms of the
Shenandoah Republican League last
evening to consider matters pertaining to
the coming spring election.
Mr.. William T. Trezise, representing
the Shenandoah Republican League, pre-
sented report made to that organization
by a committee appointed to make can.
vass and ascer a n the sentiment as to a
retention of the title "Citizshs Party"
or the adoption of Republican Party"
The report strongly favored the retention
of the old name and set forth reasons at
S me length. After discussion it became
q Jparent that there was quite difference
of opinion among members of the Stand
ing Committee as to the name and it was
finally decided to leave the matter open
until full attendance of committeeman
can be secured.
1t is more than probable that the old
name will be retained but it is desired
that all the committee men shall have an
opportunity to consult with their con.
stituents on the question. Inquiry thus
far made shows the majority sentiment
in favor of the old name.
Whether or not the name is changed
the Crawford county system of conduct
ing the primaries will be given trial
this year to see if it will not at least re
duce the imposition that is practiced by
the Democr attic voters. The blanks have
been secured. BY recording the names Of
the voters the Republicans, or Citizens
as the case may be will be in better
position to call repeaters to account and
show who vote at both primaries.
The Standing Committee will meet
again next Friday evening, at $3.50 O'Clock,
sharp The meeting will be held at the
same place, in the Shenandoah Republi
can League rooms, Refowich building. 1t
| is expected that all candidates and pro-
spective candidates for Office on the Re
publican or Citizens ticket will be in
attendance. The committee desires their
! attendance to consult on some very inn
portant preliminaries that must be
arranged. If the primaries are to be held
as those of the Citizens party it will be
necessary to secure signatures to a mum
Der of nomination papers, and as at least
two members of the committee have de-
clared that they cannot do this work it is
essential that there shall be an under
standing between the committee and the
candidates as to who will do it.
There is no spare time on hand and
something definite must be done at the
next meeting of the committee. The
nomination papers must be filed by
February lst, which will be only two
weeks from next Friday.

DISCHARGED AND REARRESTED.
The Error in the Indictment Favors
SOrg.

When the District court convened
this morning the trial of Joseph Sorg,
on the charge of disposing of mort
gagged property, was again taken up,
and Geo. W. Allyn was sworn for the
state. The Indictment alleges that
the mortgage was dated July 1st,
while the evidence went to show that
Sorg sold the property in June. AS
stated Saturday, the defense took ad-
vantage of this error in the indict-
ment, and objected to the most
material parts of the evidence, and
was sustained by the court. No
other witnesses were put on for the
state, and the defence rested without
putting On evidence. The case was
submitted to the jury without argu-
ment, and the court directed that
the jury bring in verdict for the
defendent, which it did, saying that
the defendent was mot guilty by
reason of variance between the proof
and allegations in the indictment.
The court discharged Sorg at 11:20
a. m. and took recess until 1:3O p.
m.
Henry Allen had in the meantime
sworn out warrant for Sorg arrest as
soon as he was liberated. Sorg was
taken to the municipal court and the
preliminary examination was set for
Friday, and in default of 5000 bail he
was committed back to jail.
SOrg has been in Jail for seven
months, awaiting his trial. and if he
is again bound over he will have to
wait until December, at least. The
maximum penalty for the offence
which he is alleged to have commit
ed is one year, and he will have serv-
ed that length of time before it has
been determined whether or not he is
guilty. His attorney will raise the
point that he cannot be tried on the
same offense again, as the law pro-
vides that no person shall twice be in
jeopardy of his liberty for the same
offense. The state will claim that,
the Indictment having been defective,
Sorg was not in jeopardy at the trial
which was completed today.

Great Falls weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1894-1???, 1895-06-14

The Montana ilOckmasters are lust
now especially Interested in the wool
market, and while they keep posted as
to prices it may not be amiss to quote
for their benefit the following remarks
on the market from so good an authority
as the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter Of Boston. In its issue Of Mon
day last that paper says:
"Although tho market has continued
to wear that quiet exterior aspect which
characterized it during all last month,
and which was the theme for no end of
newspaper comment, and although not a
few concerns would be quoted today AZ
p~r0nouncing the situation as decidedly
dull, the fact remains that the sales this
week in their total equal the average
weekly aggregate under what we used to
call normal trade conditions. Three
million pounds of wool was about the
usual estimate of the amount taken in
our market when the surrounding at
moHphere was reasonably favorable to u
good, steady trade.
"As to future prices, it is too early to
prgnosticate; a few weeks hence these
will be established and no one, so far az
We know, expects any reduction.'
In the same article it says: "'rhia
week, rs was the case last, the largest
element ia the local wool business was
territories. The now woods offered are
restricted mainly to Utahs and Wyom
ings. The trade has signally surpassed
that Of last week, which was the first oc-
casion OF a fair amount Of trade in these
woods this spring, The sales have includ-
cd a lot Of fine Montana Gold wool at 3Oc,
and several hundred pounds OF old and
now, fine and fine medium Wyoming and
Utah at 2S0A:Oc. A cent or two cents
better is claimed ia some instances"
This being tho case the outlook is not
30 bad az some people would have ua be-
lieve, though all of us admit that il
should be better.

enough to justify the United States in
taking 80 radical a step in the face of its
existing obligations to Spain.
The fact is, this Cuban question has
been a source of trouble and annoyance
to this country too long. The universal
sentiment of the people of the United
States is that it should be settled by the
establishment Of a republic. They do
not feel that the rich island should re-
main the colony of a nation 30 far re-
moved from it geographically, and which
has plundered and imposed upon it sys-
tematically for so long a period. Its
location near us gives it's struggles for
independence and its future a special
interest to us az a nation, and while
some would like to see it a state of the
union, q large majority would be salts
fled If it were permitted to work out it's
own destiny as a self-governed nation.
This may not be accomplished just at
present, but it must come in the near
future,
