WHY THE PEOPLE WILL NOT
VOTE FOR STlCKLEY.

The people of this county are in
terested in having a good chairman Of
the Board of Supervisors. And in as
much as Mr.. Stickley wanted the job
so bad that he voted for himself, the
people desiring good officers will
keep Mr.. Stickley home as chairman
of the Board OF Supervisors, and send
Mr.. J. L. Feller to the Legislature
and by this means get two good eff
ficIent officers instead Of one.

NICE at this time. This was seconded
by Witham, but instead of voting, the
matter was finally referred to the COM
mittee on officers and bonds to meet the
next day with the city attorney and
draft a suitable resolution, covering
the ground entirely and leaving no
doubt as to it's legality, after which the
council adjourned.
The committee on officers and bonds
comprises Aldermen Clement, Connolly
and Spear, but only the two first named
were III the city Wednesday and met
with the city attorney. They drew up
a resolution. the substance Of which is
the same as that introduced by Clement
at the council meeting the night before.

IT'LL PASS THE HUTTON,

The democrats of Northumberland,

in Chicago this week and adopted a

bears the inscription, "No foreign ALI.

That's all. Not a word about silver

b%utton?" The Standard will have it,
all right, and pass it around to the

sidetrack free coinage and make some
other issue paramount" O.,
But the esteemed Standard deserves
the honor thus thrust upon it; it has
fairly won its spurs; it is by far the
best and ablest democratic organ in
the northwest. Evidently, it is the
only II that has been given the
tip; it got it away last Janu.

coinage and has since been hammering
away in an endeavor to convince
its readers that Aguinaldo is a second

A convention was held in Helena
Monday and Tuesday Of many of the

1t was the first meeting of the kind
ever held in the state, and was called
for the purpose of atfordine dealers ai
interchange Of ideas. Chas. Spear, of
the firm Of Donovan & Spear, was the
only representative from Billings, al.
though all the implement dealers had
been invited to send representatives.
About forty. dealers from various sec.
lions OF the state were present. An
organization was effected by the cleo
ton OF the following officers: A. W.
Miles. Livingston, president; Thomas
Martin. Helena, secretary; Charles
Spear, Billings, treasurer; II. Brand.
Icy, Bozeman, first president:

A number Of representatives of con.
Germs that manufacture farming imple.
ments were also present. Although
the members Of the new association are
not disposed to talk for publication. it
seems to be generally conceded that the
meeting was for tbs eu rpose not ONLY
OF effeoting an interchange of ideas,
but OF maintaining prices.

THE VICE. DEATH.

The death of Garrett A Hobart, vice
president of the United States, was moi
unexpected; he had been seriously i'll
for several weeks and the press dis
patches had prepared the public for the
news Of the fatal ending of his sickness.
While the vice. presidents of the United
States have not, as a general rule in
recent years, attracted much public at
tention, it eau truthfully be said that
more has been heard Of Vice President
Hobart than of other men occupying
the same position He has been a close
friend of, the president and one of his
chief advisers, and has also been re.
garded by the people as possessing
qualities of craftsmanship not generally
found in a vice. president. He had
served in both branches of the legisla-
ture OF New Jersey and as president Of
the state senate and, indeed, his death
is said to have been FASTENED by his
close application to his duties as vice.
president He was al active part of the
administrative branch Of the govern.
ment and his death will be felt by the
president and cabinet by reason of the
loss Of his wise counsel.
The vice president's death has raised
the question of the presidential success.
sion, about which few people seem to
be very we'll informed After the death
Of the vice. president. under tile former
law, the president pro tempore Of the
senate-at present Senator Frye of
Maine-would become president, and
in case Of his death while in office,
the speaker of the house would become
the chief executive But in 1885. after
the death Of Vice. President Hendricks,
congress enacted a new law governing
the presidential succession. Under it's
provisions, the secretary of state be-
comes pr ,sident in case of the death of
that officer and the vice-president,
which makes Hon. John Hay tho pres
ent successor. In case of his death, the
succession falls to the secretary Of the
treasury, the secretary of war, the at
torney general, the postmaster general.
the secretary of the navy, the secretary
Of the interior and the secretry of agri-
culture, in the order named. Then, in
of the death or disqualification of
all the members of the cabinet, the sue
falls to the president pro tenn
pore of ths senate aud the speaker Of
the house.
But President Mckinley is in vigor-
BUS health and, in the nature of things,
i is fair to presume will live to fill out
his first term as president, as we'll az a
second, which his death alone will pre-
vent.
