When q few men bolted the re-
publican platform and nomlna-
lions, at st. Louis, it looked for q
time as if the good old ship we're
going to founder upon the rocks of
discord. When the first alarm
was over, it became evident that
only a few, likel Judas, were
willing to betray their master.
We have always been of the
opinion that, before the election
came around, these boilers would
have the ~proverbial sober second
thought. The Indications now are
that the proverbial second thought
is getting in its work. Like a
man who suddenly discovered a
precipice over which he was about
to walk, they are beginning to
realize what it means to work and
vote for the democracy.
1t is well that these rmen who
have been carried away by the cry
of free silver should stop and re-
feet whittier their steps are. lead
ing them.
In the first place, we.have heard so
many promises made by the demo
craticparty, and seen so few of them
fulfilled, that it is by no means
certain they would give US nfree
silver if they had a chance.
The outlandish crime was said to
have been committed in 1873.
Since that time we have had several
democratic houses and one
democratic congress complete.
Still we have not heard of any free
and unlimited coinage bill BEING
passed. We are able to state.
however. that the democrats have
tried to tn 'ust a free and unlimited
debt upon US.
In order to run the chances o
getting free silver, which is to say
the least, of doubtful advantage
we must do several very repugnan.
things.
We must consent to allow Oul
work to be done for US in foreign
countries and let our laborers re

Our old-time friend, John A
Kennedy, was renominated for
representative, at the convention
last Saturday, by reclamation.
Teton county's interests were care,
fully guarded in Helena by this
gentleman during the last session

licans of the county do not care tc
make any change at this time
Without q doubt John will be re
elected this fall by an increased
majority.

We point with pride to the fact, that there is no vicinity in

of wool. In the neighborhood of $50, 600 pounds being shipped out Of
this immediate neghborhood every year, besides thousands of fat

There Will be a grand reunion and picnic

Mrs. Maria Fay created sensation in
Justice Kerrigan's court yesterday by de-

No one seeming willing to aid her in her
sanguinary designs, she became hysterical,
and when the man who had aroused her
ire left the witness-stand she few at him
and he only escaped by rapid exit into
the corridor.
The plaintiff in the case is one McFad-
den, who is the assignee of Louis Helbing,
brother of Mrs. Fay. Helbing borrowed
$500 from Mrs. Fay some time ago, and
later, as sne claims, when she received his
portion of legacy from Germany she ap-
piled the amount-S170-to the debt

EDWARDS is ALIVE.
The Man Asphyxiated Last Monday
Night Turns Out TO Be John
Armstrong

Another case of mistaken identity has de-
veloped at the Morgue. 1t appears that
the Lewis Edwards who was found dead
in a room on Jessie street is not Ed
wards at all, but John Armstrong. tailor,
who formerly worked on Howard street,
near Fifth. By the supposed Edwards
side was woman SO nearly dead that for
hours her life was despaired Of
Yesterday the genuine Lewis Edwards
walked into the Morgue and startled Dep
uty Coroner Mccormick by asking, How
do look when / am dead ?p Then the
whole STORY came out. 1t seems that Ed
wards and the woman lived together for
som ething over SIX months as husband
and wife. In May last the husband grew
tired of his bargain and the two separated.
Since then he has seen her only upon a
few occasions, when she sought him to
borrow money. Edwards accounts for the
mistake on the woman's part on the
ground that when she recovered conscious
ness her recoll ctions of the night before
were somewhat clouded.
The real Lewis Edwards lives at 7So
Folsom street, and has charge of a lunch
counter in saloon on Third street.
