INDICATIONS POINT TO VICTORY
The Republicans Of Silver Bow Putting Up a Splendid fiQht
and Will Probably Elect the Whole Ticket.

All the indications point to a splendid
republican victory today-national, state
and county.
The reports from THE various coun.
ties in the state are of the most en-
couraeing nature, and it is conceded by
many prominent democrats that the en-.
tire republican state ticket is elected.

are very active n poI1ed a large vote
during the forenoon. They are confident
of victory n believe they VIII elect
the whole ticket. Many Of the patriotic
democrats of the county who learned OF
tne outrage upon the men of the First
Montana regiment last right, were very
~outspoken today in denunciation of the
crime and declared that they would vote
the republican ticket.
Owing to the numerous Scratched"
tickets, it is likely that the result of the
election in this county will not be known
until tomorrow or The mex day.
