Livingston, March 25.--The democrats
held their city convention here to-day
and nominated the following ticket for
the city election: Mayor, John I.
Smith; city treasurer, f. M. Sybert;
police magistrate, Frank Bender. Reso-
buttons We're adopted indorsing the Chi
cage platform: opposing the present pol
icy of the republican party in city af-
fairs: advocating cheaper light and
water service; favoring lower taxation
and lauding the volunteers from city.
state and nation who are in the service
of their country.
The issue in local politics as now pre-
scented is a policy of enterprise and pub
lie spirit by the democrats against the
republican policy of negation in vogue
for the past two years, which the demo-
Gratis allege will if continued, place the
town at a great disadvantage in the
development Of the resources and the
attraction of investors and immigration.
MI Smith, the candidate for mayor, is
secretary of the board of trade and local
land agent for the Northern Pacific. and
is one of the leading attorneys Of the
eastern part of the state.

IN MlSSOULA.
There Hasn't Yet Been Warming-Up in
Spring Politics There.

Missoula, March 25.-In Missoula the
spring campaign has not yet attracted
much attention. In this city there Will
be elected this spring mayor and four
aldermen. The nominating conventions
will not be held until Thursday and
Friday Of the present week, leaving but
three or four days for the campaign,
The republicans held their ward eau
cuses Friday night and made up their
states for the approaching primaries.
There was no evidence of any cpposi-
ton or friction and no contest is antici-
pated at any of the primaries. There
has been no notice given of any demo-
cratic caucuses and there are no evil
dences of any dissension in the ranks of
this party.
There seems to be no well defined
local issue in the campaign. From
statements made by leading politicians
of both parties it is evident that the
platforms will have for their principal
planks regarding local affairs a declar-
alton in favor of rigid economy in the
administration of municipal matters
and a determination to improve the
citys financial condition. Aside from
this, there has been as yet no indica-
ton of a desire to raise any issue that
will inject any bitterness into the brief
campaign of the coming week. Mis-
soula is prosperous and both parties
WILL from present indications, put for
ward their best men as candidates. with
the intention of giving the city bust
nesslike administration
The democrats have some excellent
men to choose from. There has been
strong desire that Judge Stephens
should make the run. but that gentle
man has refused positively. Alfred
Cave has some friends who desire him
to allow his name TO be used in the
mayoralty canvass. Tylar 3. Thomp-
son has strong and active following
and, if he desires the nomination, he
can evidently receive it. Another
strong candidate for the nomination is
Sid j. Coffee who is regarded as an eX-
cellent man for the position For alder
men there are several good democrats
mentioned. f. S, Newton IF the First
ward, l.. n. Simons and Phil Gagnon
of the Second ward, and S. j. Coffee
and G. +, Wilds of the Third ward have
been suggested. and Alderman Frank
Keim will undoubtedly succeed himself
from the Fourth ward
The republicans have been consider
ing as possible maYoraity candidates J.
NJ Dixon, A. ]. Gibson, T. L. Darbae
and Mayor Webster Present indica-
lions are that Mr.. Webster will be
nominated without opposition in the
convention. The a1dermanic ticket that
has been suggested as most likely to
be put forward by the republicans is
as follows: c. Z. Beckwith, First ward: ;
Miles Mix, Second ward; John DAILY,
Third ward, and George Albee, Fourth
ward.
Registration thus far is very light
and there does not seem to be much
interest taken in the election. How
ever, the present week will proba bly,
witness an awakening and there will

Registration to-day was exceptionally
good the list footing up something like
$50 There yet remains two days in
which to register, but as there are about
500 names yet to be secured it will be
seen that there must be some lively
husting before that date to avoid b.
ing shout out. The registration promises
to be light however. as there is but
little interest manifested in the coming
election.
The democratic primaries will occur
on Monday evening in the respective
wards. No preliminary caucuses will
be held

voters, and the following ticket was
nominated. Mayor. ]. E. Morse; city
treasurer, Harry Gilbert: police mag

The water works question formed a
prominent issue in the caucus. The
candidates chosen are generally regard
ed as favoring water works. The ticket
now in the field is not likely to meet
any organized general opposition, but
independent candidates for some of the
offices are likely to announce them
selves before the time for filing nomin-
atoms close

Hamilton. March 25.-Hamilton elect

spring. The election last year, it will
be remembered. resulted in a tie be
tween the candidates on the citizens
and the democratic tickets. The city
council seated the citizens candidate
and the matter of politics has not en-
tered in any marked degree into the
present administration, which is gener-
ally satisfactory.
