May Fuse This Fall a he 4 bird
Party In Fergus Making Its
Presence Felt-Notes.

Great Falls May 2s.-George Patter-
son, an old-time resident of Benton and
and a good fellow generally. is being
urged by his numerous friends to make
the race for the republican nomination
for treasurer of Choteau county. Jere
sullivan is said to be in the lead for
the honor, but that telegram to Carter
during the session of the legislature
lett a mighty sore spot and If the "old
man or Brother John are reminded of
1t when the county convention is in
session, they may yank the chain and
jerk Jere off the track of political
honors.
There is little or no doubt but that
the democrats and populists of Cas-
cade county will get together in the
near future and arrange the prelimina-
ries for a fusion ticket this fall 1t is
said the leaders of these two parties
fully understand the situation and will
Ignore the efforts of republicans to pre-
vent the combine. Prominent men in
the democratic and populist parties
cautiously admit that if three tickets
are in the field the republicans-even
with Mckinley as a load-will have the
best of three-cornered fight.
j. w. Hyndman and Charles Hanan
attended the Butte convention recently,
says the Havre Herald, and Mr.. Hynd-
man was honored by a place on the
committee on resolutions, while Mr..
Hanan's accuracy and varacity were
recognized in his appointment as Off
cial time keeper, whose duty it was to
curtail windy orators to five-minute
speeches. Mr. Hyndman informs us
that he met a number of Choteau re-
publicans while absent and IT is their |
general opinion that Mr. Hanan's |
chances for the republican nomina-
ton of clerk of the court are excel |
lent.
Billy Dwyer wants to be reelected |
sheriff of Cascade county this year and |
has no hesitancy in proclaiming that |
fact. His friends assert that he will |
be renominated by the republicans and |
IL he is, a lively contest for the office |
may be expected. William is a clever
politician and can wear the sweet smile |
of cherub-while there is an insipid |
volcano seething within his peaceful
like bosom.
Nathaniel Lee, manager of the stage
line between Havre and Fort Assna-
boine. was on the trail Of a number of |
scoundrels Tuesday night. says the
Herald, with blood in his eye and a gun
in his hand. His anger was aroused by
having his team stolen at the post
while he was making his rounds in get
ting a load of passengers to bring to !
the city. The offenders made a success
ful sneak on his team and drove IL to
within half mile of the city, where
they tied 1t to a wire fence and aban-
doned 1t. Lee found it the following
morning and one of the horses had
been injured by being cut by the
barbed fence. Should he discover the
identity of the fellows he purposes
teaching them a lesson.

der Springs-or somewhere else-and is
looking happier and more contented
than the ordinary run of candidates for
reelection this year. 1t is pretty gen.
orally understood that Mr.. Cockrill
would have no serious objection to ]
serving another term as clerk of the
district court. 1t is one of the best Off ]
ces in the county. He is a thorough
bred Kentucky democrat, but il is not | {
thought he would violently oppose fu-
sion with the populists this year-if he $
is renominated for office.
Editor Moore of Havre SAYS that /, {
d. Evans. county attorney of Valley
county, was a distinguished visitor in !
that city one day this week, and he
stated that Charles f. Hall and the I
Valley county democracy are all right.
and that the voters this fall will stand | 6
by them-'not one, but both"
