fight seems to have settled down TO a con-
test between a citizens ticket and atickot
10 be nom mated by that wing of the re-
publican party which this spring styles
itsolf the straight republican outfit. The
convention OF the republicans will be held
"Wednesday afternoon and will, IL is be-
lieved put up n full ticket, although the
hope is expressed that the convention
may decide to join the procession and
fall in with the citizens movement,
which has been fairly inangurated on a
platform of municipal reform and city
improvements. That is a catchy war cry
and promises TO be a mighty popular one
before the campaign closes.
The following resolutions. which are the
result Of repeated conferences among the
party leaders, wore made public this
morning and have been carefully read by
the people who have seen them. Nobody
disputes their soundncss, and the only OBJ
lection TO them comes from those who be-
lieve that tho desired end can better be
accomplished 10y a partisan administra-
ton shan by an Independent movement.
Tne resolutions read as follows:
WHEREAS, The recent organization in the
c-sy q Misso,ha of a board OF trade has brought
together the leading citizens OF our city in nu-
uerous propositions OF the most vital import
ance 20 our municipality, as well as the sur
rounding country; this has been productive of
most beneficial results and is certainly step
IN the right direction, and 1t is to BIO hoped that
this spirit 81 harmony which has Just been
brought into life will he fosteTed and eDcour-
AGED until our entire population Will be a unit
on all questions which most benehclally
interest our citizens. In order to do
this we believe that, under the present ciTcum-
stances and con itions, it would be wise and
prudent for the adherents OF the different. pOlit-
teal parties to cast aside all pers onal considera
lions and ignore for once the little advantage
which might be gained by party supremacy in
municipal elections and Join hands IN the cleo
ton of a ticket which will represent the bust
ness aud laborng interests OF our city and
which will not belong TO any party or faction,
but will be Of the people for the people and by
the people. Let Mssoua set an example of
harmony and unity OF action which should at
present characterize the entire population of
Montana
WHEREAS, In the past. great extravaganza
and profgacy have run riot in the administra-
ton of the financial affairs of the city, resulting
IN constantly increasing Indebtedness to such
an extent that the people are and Will
be burdened with a rate OF taxation
disastrous to all business interests;
WHEREAS, We desire an administration OF the
city which will guarantee protection to all
classes OF our fellow citizens and will insure the
employment OF our own laboring people in
preference to all non-residents.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, members OF
the democratic central committee, the popullst
central committee and republicans hereby unite
IN a call for a mass meeting of the citizens of
the ely Of MiSsOu.a, TO be held in the court
house on Monday April /, 1895, at O'Clock y.
m. for the purpose OF organizing for a citizens
convention To be held TO nominate a citizens
candidate for mayor and aldermen at the ensu
ing city election.
