One Of the gentlemen who sat on the
stage Monday night was A. c. Glover
Of Avon. a candidate on the silver re-
publican-populist fusion ticket for rep
resentatfve in the legislature. Mr.. Glow
er is neither a silver republican nor a
populist. How he got on the tickle is
explainable only on the theory that the
silver republican county convention
was short of men. Mr.. Glover Is a
straight administration republican-as
straight as they max them. He is a
follower Of Tom Carter. he would fol-
low him anywhere. Carter got him n
piece of pie. Carter counts hin as his
very own. Mr.. Glover has always been
a pronounced enemy of Anaconda. 1t

to prefer Helena to Anaconda in the
capital fight. That fact, considered by
itself. would not be a good reason at all

the town or its people, and until he was

around Anaconda yesterday trying to

slightest in the estimation of the silver
republicans or populists. The fact that

initial campaign rally the silver repub-

charges against Mr.. Campbell. That's
all.
To the Editor of the Standard:
I notice that the recent democratic
convention of Deer Lodge county NOM
mated John Conley for sheriff. Being
well acquainted with Jack Conley, as
he is Familiarity called. 1 feel that a
worthy man is sometimes rewarded for
his sterling qualities. Jacks motto Is,
let no thief Escape. In 1882 I was elect
ed sheriff of Gallatin county, at that
time the Northern Pacific railroad was
completed to the new town of Livings-
ton. where all the thugs and robbers
that had been following the road DUR
ing its construction had c~ongregated.
At the time referred to Park county
was part Of Gallatin. The town was
booming, SO were the robbers and
thugs n thieves. / had appointed a
deputy for the new town, but he prov
ed to be unsatisfactory. and his dis
missal followed and soon after 1 ap-
pointed Jack Conley. having previously
been informed that lack Conley could
take care Of the hard cases. The re-
suit was a decrease in the population
OF the new town and a corresponding
increase at the Deer Lodge peniten-
tiary until the gang was cleaned out.
Jack Conley deserves great credit for
his nerve and energy in putting a stop
to lawlessness in Livingston at a time
when none but the raves dare op-
pose the gang. Jack should get a rous-
ing majority. c. =. BLAkELEY.
