], R.. GR|CE
ASSAULTED
A FUSION THUG OBJECTED TO
HIS IDENTIFICATION OF
BRIBERY.
KNOCKED DOWN
AND THEN KICKED.
One Of the Many Methods Resorted
to by the Fusion Fol-
lowers.

Hon. John r. Grice, of this city, who
has. been making a tour of the state dur
ing this campaign in the interests of the
republican party and it's candidates, was
the victim Of a dastardly assault at
Clinton, in Missoula county, asst Thurs
day evening, at the hands of a fusion
"heeler." The outrage was planned with
malice prepense and carried out in the
usual cowardly manner distinguishing
the lower class OF political thug. who, not
being endowed with brains to use his
tongue to advantage in a contest, must
resort to physical violence to show his
a%ntioathy.
A rousing republican rally had been
held in a hall at some distance from the
hotel where Mr.. Grice was staying, aid,
at the expiration of the meeting, he was
ON his way to the hotel in company with
a gentleman living at Clinton, when the
assault occurred.
During the course of his speech Mr..
Grice took occasion to score the demo-
Gratis generally for the lll-T1alpute into
which they ha- brought the name of the
Copper State, and incidentally called the
attention of his audience to the early
record of a millionaire leader of the fus-
Ion element. His remarks on the per-
sonal character of this leader excited the
anger of a Number of fusion "heelers'-
thugs whose existence lis doubtless due
to the fact than an all-wise Providence is
also al1-merciful-and they made their
presence in the audience known by hiss
inc. There are three things discovered
thus far THAT hiss we'll: a goose, a snake
and q fusion "heeler."
AIS Mr.. Grice was on his way to the
hotel, engaged in conversation with his
Clinton friend, he was approached from
the rear by a scoundrel, who suddenly
hurrahed for the leader whose record
had been attacked and before NE could
turn. was felled to the earIn with a
heavy instrument of some kind. AS he
lay PROSTATE and before his friend
could Interfere, the cowardly ruffian
kicked Mr.. tGrice in tine face and then
turned and ran SIS If he were pursued
by. the Furies.
So badly injured was Mr.. Grice that he
was Obliged to return home. His eye is
badly discolored and his read and back
are bruised and sore.
This assault c~haracterizes the kline OF
battle the fusi IN element rs waging
.ERgainst THE forces eff reform and prosper
.ity-a battle which shows plainly their
realization that they are engaged in a
losing fight. Even respectable and hon
est democrats, men who are democrats
from principle, will choose to abandon
their mistaken rinciples and associate
themselves with the forces of decency
rather thar with a party THAI haltbors
a host of cowardly bhackguards and
thugs.
