Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Missoula, Nov. S.-The election Of 1898
in Misoula will go upon record as the
quietest ever held in this city. There
was no excitement anywhere and the
police made but one arrest, but the
work at the polls and all over town was
earnest and in some cases fierce. The
Marshall forces were out early and did
their work thoroughly. They worked
the local racket for all 1t was worth
and doomed their favorite on the issue
OF restoring Fort Missoula. But with
all their booming. Tom carried the city
by less than 200 and he will lose the
county by a good majority to Campbell.
From returns already in and reported.
Hogan will run a poor third. The only
exciting incident of the closing hours
of the campaign was the issuing of a
libelous circular attacking George c.
Higgins, the democratic candidate for
county treasurer. The campaign up to
yesterday had been the cleanest ever
seen i'm this county, but this dirty piece
Of work spoiled the record. 1t Is GER
tain that the republican candidate, j. S.
Kemp, had nothing to do with the put
ting out of this circular. The republi-
can central committee denounces the
circular and claims to have had no
knowledge of IL whatever until IL ap-
peared. 1t was the work of some per-
sonal enemy of Mr.. Higgins. Returns
thus far received indicate the election
OF the democratic legislative ticket. The
vote in the county will be close to the
registration, $500. The count progresses
slowly, but the chances of the demo-
cratic county ticket are excellent
Campbells plurality in the county will
exceed 300. Marshall's committee
claimed the county by 800.
