an average of one officer for every 10

Tom Cullen viii Win.

: Glendive, Mont. Oct. 29.-On the re-

the friend Of Thomas Carter. is the re-
publican candidate for the Office OF
state senator. Carter has worked this
county very thoroughly. and Of course
the county is nominally republican, but
Tom Cullen. who represented the county
as a democrat in the third n fourth
legislative assemblies. is on the legis-
,ative ticket this year. He is very pop
ular. and the claims that he will be
elected seem to be well founded. The
legislative ticket is almost a sure win

a good one, and Chairman Burdick pre-
diets the election of at least one-half

Confidence in Custer.

Miles City, Mont. Oct. 29.-Custer is
a republican county. but the democrats
have strong hopes Of getting their share
in the election results this year. This
county has a hold-over republican in
the state senate. The old question of
the division of Custer county so as to
carve out of IL a new county, to be
called Rosebud. enters more or less in
TO the politics OF the year. The demo-
cratic candidates for the lower house
of the legislature are F.. w. Finch, and
Captain ]. T. Brown, who has just re-
turned from Chattanooga, where he
served as captain Of the Custer county
company of volunteers. Captain Brown
was a member in the legislative session
of 1897. The protective tariff. which has
pleased many engaged in the wool busi-
ness. has not brought results as ex-
pected, and the sentiment in favor of
silver is gradually gaining. Then. the
tax notices which have been sent out
chow an extravagant administration of
county affairs and have lent a general
desire to have a change in administra-
tion.

Kalispel. Mont. Oct. 29.-In 1896 Flat

in the campaign. Undoubtedly Camp

majority in the county.

strong in the county. The belief in

be elected.

The Granite Fusion.

Philipsburg. Mont, Oct. 2s.-Granite

the state having a fusion OF
democrats and populists. There is
no regular republican ticket in
this county, but practically all the
straight republicans and silver repubi1-
cans combined under the head of silver
republicans. and the silver republican
ticket carries some gold republicans
as candidates. The democratic and pop
ulist fusion will win. 1t has been as
sumed that this is the county in the
state where Hogan may develop con-
siderable strength. The county elects
a state senator and two representatives.

SOME BISHOPS.

The Churchman tells it's readers
that the archbishops are fond of rec
reation. His Grace of Canterbury
likes light literature. The Archbish-
OPP of York prefers riding and walk
ing. The primate of all Ireland owns
to a fondness for conversation. The
Bishop of Bath and Wells states that
when in Australia he was given to
boating and swimming, but now cy-
cles, this latter sport being shared
by the Bishops of Carlisle, Ripon and
Stepney. Photography has votary
in the Bishop of Limerick, and golf in
the Bishop of Bangor. Quite a num-
her take their pleasure in more or
less scientific ways. Dr. hutchinson
studies conchology and geology. while
the Bishop of Southwark and Thetford
has fondness for gardening. The
Churchman says nothing about the
Bishop of Honolulu. His chief amuse-
ment is fighting his clergy and stay
ing where he is not wanted.
