The Ravalli Republican., 1898-10-05
THE STATE TICKET.

republicans in the state, 1t is COM
posed Of able men who have the re-
spect of all who know them.
Col. Thomas G. Marshall, the NOM
inee for congress, is Il native Of Ken
lucky and is one Of the leaders of the
bar of this state. For some years
after coming to Montana he affiliated
with the democratic party, but grad
ually lost faith in the theories and
the results of the theories Of that
party, and in 1892 he cast his first
republican vote for Ben jamin Harri
SON. He did not, however, make a
theatrical display OF his conversion
! like Bob Smith then and Charley
Hartman since, and, although in full
sympathy with republican policies,
it was not until more than two years
later that he made public confession
of his conversion and salvation. Since
| that time Mr.. Marshall has been a
consistent and true republican. lie
was elected by the republican party
two years ago last May, as one Of it's
delegates to the St. Louis convention,
and although he did not indulge in
any sensational wa]kout, he. like
| Senators Mantle and Carter, refused
to take any further part in the pro-
ceedings Of that convention when the
financial plank to which they were
opposed was adopted. That Mr..
Marshall has the full con 6dence Of
his party was shown in the state con-
vention, when, with SO strong an
opponent as Judge Hamilton Of Butte,
he was 50 universally supported that
Mr.. Hamilton himself declined the
issue and moved his nomination by
acclamation. Tom Marshall has the
qualities of winner. and that he
will be SO in November there is no
doubt.
OF Judge Brantley, nominee for
chief justice, nothing more is needed
to be said than to quote the words of
the Anaconda Recorder and Deer
Lodge New Northwest, published
where Judge Brantly prcsidcs over
the district court and has his home
~
In endorsing Judge Brantly for
chief justice, the populists and
straight republicans have commended
themselves to the fair-minded people
Of Montana. This takes Judge Brant-
ly's candidacy out Of the domain of
politics, as it should be. II the peo-
pie Of Montana want to have their
| supreme court composed OF men of
the highest integrity: morality, hon
esty and learning they will make
Judge Brantly their chief justice
In this county, his home, Judge
Brantly has the respect and confidence
Of all, and when those who know him
best cheerfully recommend him the
people at large may feel confident
that in voting for Brant]y they will
make no mistake. "."
Judge George II. Grubb, the nomi-
nee for associate justice, is not SO
well known over the state as either
Col. Marshall or Judge Brantly, but
his name is known, and that the re-
publicans Of the state have confidence
in his integrity and ability was
evinced two years ago when he ran
ahead Of his ticket In the state
convention he pushed Judge Brantlv
SO hard for the nomination for chief
Justice that his strength was imme-
diately recognized and he was made
the unanimous choice Of the conyen.
tion for associate justice. AS for his
ability, such we'll known authorities
as Judge Dewitt, late justice Of the
supreme court, Col. Sanders, Judge
1 HarWood, also late Of the supreme
court, and many other leading law.

capabily and integrity, and the peo-
pie Of Montana need no further OF
better evidence that in electlng Judge
Grubb they will elect a gentleman
who will be a credit and an honor tc
the highest court.
. Ben Webster, nominee for clerk Of
the supreme court, is the present
, incumbent. He has served in that
capacity for six years, and that he
has given satisfaction was shown BY
, his unanimous e-nomination.
; Take it as a whole, the ticket is !;
model one, and deserves the triumph.
