No Change in Street Line.

Of the city council investigated the pro-
posed extension of Main street TO the
present sidewalk line in front Of the Odd
Fellows hall and decided that the side.
walk would have to be moved out into
the present street about eight feet. The
Odd Fellows had already let the contract
for the extension Of their brick block to
the limit of their lot. II was found that
the street was full width at that point
without the additional step and that the
purchase Of the land at this time was not
advisable.

that the many big ledgcs would show

on any OF the claims in this group until
now. The results are highly encouraging
to all claim owners in the upper river

The lmnaha lodges are all copper with
hematite iron. The iocators were en-
couraged by the belief that this iron
would be replaced by copper below water,
as is the case in some other camps In the
Northwest. This change has occurred in
one instance especially in the last few
days at Innaha. The iron has changed
to copper at the water level. This fact
establishes the fact that copper is pri-

THE GOVERNORSHIP.

David E. Folsom is the man who, in
all human probability, will be the next
governor of Montana.
He was the spontaneous choice of the
finest convention that ever nominated
a ticket in the state of Montana.
He was selected solely because of his
moral worth, his business capacity and
his independence Of all influences, which
AVE selfish interests to subserve. ene-.
mics to punish or friends to reward. He
was selected because he is a representa-
tive citizen, because he has an ,~intelli.
gent conception of the public needs, be.
cause, knowing his duty at all times, he
has the courage to perform 1t regardless,
of consequences; because, being identi-
fled with the chief industries of the state.
he will take impartial interest in their
developments; because, though a" parti-'
san. he is, before all. a Montanian, de-
voted to the welfare of all theFpeople
and determined to give them, if elected,
a fair, square, progressive administra-
ton.
There will be lies told about Mr.. Fol-
som in this campaign. They will be told
by the orators and organs of the demo-
cratic party. He will probably be ac-
cused of being related to Rockefeller, of
being a large holder of Standard Oil
stock. of being nominated by a Standard
Oil convention, of being partial to stand
ard Oil interests, and of burning Stand
/ ard Oil at his ranch instead Of candles.
wickedly and deliberately false. They
will be without a particle Of foundation
in fact. They will be the silly inventions
of a desperate, demoralized and divided
democracy, acting under the impression
that the people are unthinking and
sightless imbeciles. ready to believe all
they hear, however disreputable the
source.
The Inter Mountain does not know OF
any man ingenious enough to invent a
plausible lie or a reasonable charge OF
any kind against David F.. Folsom. He
is an ideal citizen, husband and father
He loves the state and is by it's people

THE CAMPAIGN OF FALsEHooD.

The Helena, Record has done the re-,
ing attention to the torrent of m%isrepre-I
sentation which seems to be involved in.
the democratic plan of campaign this
year. The Record, being a very large
paper. has space to deny seriatim the
numerous and brazen misstatements of
the opposition press. 1t calls attention
to a few in the esteemed Independent in
this very quiet but effective manner
A %neighboring paper is now publish
ing a series of double-column scare-head
editorials, full Of gross inaccuracies and
bald misrepresentation. Here are a few
sample misstatementS: 1t is stated
therein that Governor Roosevelt, Sen
ator Lodge and Senator Allison are all
attorneys of the Standard Oil company.
Governor Roosevelt is not now and never
was a practicing attorney at all. Sen
ator Lodge is not and has not been a
practicing attorney. He is a rate
and a historian. Senator Allison has not
been engaged in the active practice Of
law for many years. There is not a word
of truth in that papers statement con-
corning these eminent men.
Again., that paper says that r. s. Mon
nett of Ohio was turned down by his
party when he wanted a renomination'
for attorney general. The truth is he
was not a candidate for denomination,
and he has repeatedly so stated.
Again, the statement is made that a
Standard Oil official demanded a "brOker-
age fee of $40, 900. 00O' in a proposed sale
of the Danish West India stands to the
United States. AS the purchase price of
the islands was to be only 50. 600, 900, all
told, it can readily be seen what a whOp-
per the ~able-bodied preVaricator wrote
when he placed a brokerage fee of $40.
coo. 900 on the transaction.
1t is not likely that the exposure by
the Record of the democratic tendency
to falsehood will cure the evil. but il
will at least serve to notify the people
that they should use extreme caution in
accepting as reliable any statements ir

WINDING ITS BUSINESS.

The republican convention at Helena
yesterday very promptly and properly
declined to be used as an instrument to
help one faction of the democracy "get
even" with the other faction.
The republican party of Montana has
a higher mission to perform than that
of assisting either democratic wing in
its troubles with the other.
That was the opinion in the state COM
mittee which promptly conceded with
Mr.. Talcott when he suggested the ex-
clusion of all references to contesting
litigants and politicians in the Silver
Bow case and the settlement of the dis
pute or it's legal merits. The committee
cared nothing about the alleged plots
and plans Of individuals and their wicked
schemes to accomplish certain dire and
awful things. Democratic s%quabbles cut
no ice with the committee. It wanted

murdered his wife, was hanged at De-
catur, an adjoining village, at noon to-
day. repeated doses of morphine giving
him the energy with which to meet death
gamely.
Sharpe had for some years been ad-
dicted to the use of morphine n whis-
ky, and it was while under the influence
of these stimulants that he murdered his
wife. Since his confinement it has been
customary for the Jail physician to allow
him small doses of morphine
This morning the officials from Decatur
arrived early to escort him to the place
Of execution. The murderer was ghast-
ly pale, n unable to move. A liberal
~hypodermic injection was given him.
Just prior to going on the scaffold he
again showed symptoms of an approach

The spontaneous and generous ova-
ton which greeted the appearance of Mr..

floor of the republican convention at

canoe. While it was a great personal

party welcoming back to the fold the
many thousands of silver republicans

and who, like him, had returned to their
proper and permanent political abode.

After Mr.. Folsom had concluded his

EVENING SESSION..
At the evening session Senator Knute
Nelson Of Minnesota was introduced to
the audience by Senator Carter. Mr.
Nelson cOmplimented the republicans of
the state for their zeal and enthusiasm
In political life and advised them to keep
the fire of patriotism burning. He re
ferred to the ups and of his w
life, and. judging by his remarks, he ex-
perienced many of the latter before en-
countering the pay-streak of political
preference. He attributed his rise more
to the goodness of the American people
than to himself. Mr.. Nelson compared
the administration of the hero of Buzz
yards bay with tina of President Nc
kinley. Only once during Mr.. Cleve-
lands reign, he said. did the democrats
attempt to enact legislation favorable to
the people, but it had been a total fail
ure as q protective measure. Under the
operation Of this legislation, now as
the WilsOn-GOrman bill, business in al
of it's branches had become %stagnant. He
defined republican grain and democratic
chaff as set forth in the respective ma.
tional platforms, the former being the
promise of something having the ring OF
solidity. while the latter proposed to helr
the labOring man by recommending thu
establishment Of a bureau of labor a,
Washington so that a secretary could bt

the conservative voice of Senator Carter

republican, conventions. The democrats
are soon going to hold a convention, and
then will be the time and place to VEN
tilate the factional quarrels between the
Miner and Standard. The last time the
representatives of those able organs

the Miner got the best of the contest.

LESSON OF THE CONVENTION.

The few misguided republicans who
without authority of law or precedent
to divide the republican party
in Silver Bow county and extend the
division to the republican party of the
state, if not allowed to have their own
way. seem to have suffered a very seri-
reverse at Helena. There are two
reasons for their discontinue, the first
being that the plan was without the
essential merit of justice, and. secondly,
that it depended for it's success Upon the
circulation of a lot of filthy, anonymous
literature. which instantly disguised all
decent men. and would effectually damn
the prospects OF any man, however rich
or powerful. if even suspected of in
dorsing or paying for it. No man will
ever WIN an honor at the hands of any
tute alike of justice and decency, and
we advise every ambitious citizen that
if he would succeed he must appeal to
the people through their better natures
ana not seek TO WIN tnelr respect by re-
sorting to methods which car only excite
their contempt. There is no doubt thai
the contesting delegation was held t,
some extent accountable for the anony
nous abuse of prominent republicans 81
freely INDUCED in. and hat may hav,
been one reason for the unanimity o
the convention in approving the decision
of the state committee. Those who hat
no share in the responsibility should
from a sense of self-respect, prompt.
avow their innocence, and thu re-estab
lish their claim to party fealty an,
standing.
What the delegation will do on it
return home. whether it will play tn
string OUT or not, remains to be seen.
The best and wisest thing for it's mem
bers to do is to take their medicine, &c
into the party band-wagon and vote tn
straight ticket.
