During a recent "trip to other por-
tions of the state, the writer met a
member Of tho silver republican state
committee who was in attendance at
the meeting of that committee at
Helena few weeks ago. In conver-
sation the gentleman said that he
was not in favor Of a fusion with the
democrats, that he did not believe
that silver was q vital question in
this years election. and he was in
favor OF the republicans of the state
getting together and. elcctiny the
state and county tickets and return
ing Senator Mantle He said that
when he went to Helena he had
thought that he was the only one of
his state committee that felt that
way, but that Il little talk with
others developed The fact that with
the exception Of Hartman and two
others present every one Of the com
mlttce felt as he did, and that per-
sonal friendship for Hartman was all
that prevented the committee from
SO declaring itself lie still thinks
the same. and will support a united
republican ticket in his county.

With this issue the REPUBLICAN
enters upon its fifth year. Started
by the republicans of Ravalli county
to advocate the support ofrepublican
principles, it has endeavorcd to be
consistent in this respect, while at
the same time it has aimed to ad-
vance every interest Of the county at
large, refusing to be mere local
paper, and leaving petty neighbor-
hood jealousies to others. Since its
first appearance the paper has passed
from stock company to the exclus
i've ownership Of its present proprie
tor, and there it will stay. The sup
port given it has been fair, but il
has not been supported as it shoul6
have been by the republicans of tht
county, in which it has been the onl,
republican paper. Indications are
however, that this will be remedied
and it ought to be.
