n'LAU0HLIN APPOINTED.
Words Of Praise Concerning the New Agent
of the Blackfeet.

Speaking of George b. Mclaughlin,
who was last week appointed to
succeed Major Steele at the Blackfeet
agency, the River Press says:
The appointee was until recently a
resident of Choteau county, being a
highly esteemed and competent men,
ber of the River Press staff for several
years. and subsequently serving a
term of two years as county sheriff.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has a host of friends
throughout northern Montana who
will unite in congratulations upon
his good fortune.
Previous to coming to Montana.
Mr.. Mclaughlin was a resident of
Ohio, in which state he learned the
newspaper business, and became
connected i'm various capacities with
the Republican press of that section.
Among the latter was the Canton
Repository, owned by James Saxton.
the father of Mrs. Mckinley. He
took an active part in the organiza-
tion and work of the young Republi-
cans of Ohio, and became acquainted
with many of the leading Ohio men
of that political faith. The latter
have not forgotten the young Ohio
Republican of years ago, and it is
mainly due to their friendship and
influence that Geo. b. Mclaughlin is
the recipient of the first federal plum
sent to Montana Republicans under
| the present administration.
