REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.

The meeting Of the republican state
committee on the 18th instant will to
some extent at least signalize the open
ing of the national campaign in the state
of Montana. While the campaign Will
not technically. open until the presiden-
tial candidates are in the field, the gath
ering of the party leaders to take the
preliminary steps in the forthcoming
fight indicate that the symptoms are be-
ginning to manifest themselves, and that
the war Jackets are being donned for the
fray
1t will be with feelings of confidence In
the future that the republicans Will get
together to arrange for the holding OF q
state convention which will in turn send
q coros of delegates to the national con-
voca tion to be held in Philadelphia on
the 18th of June. Not only will f1rm
and unyielding belief in the national sue
cess of the party inspire the party lead
ers in this state. but faith in the possibil-
ity of carrying Montana by an old-time
ma aiority will add additional significance
to the work in hand. There can be lit
tie room to doubt the ability OF the re-
puhlican party to carry Montana for Nc
Kinley this year as it did for HARRISON
in 1892. The conditions are ripe for
republican victory and prudence and dls-
cretion in the management OF local
affairs are alone necessary to insure sue
cess at the polls.
Democratic corruption has reached
such an extreme, and scandalized Mon
tana to such an extent, that well mean
ing citizens, regardless of their political
affiliations, will unite in movement Tor
the publication of political conditions IN
this state. The time is come when Mon
tana must either surrender to the abject
systen, of coercion and corruption. with
past been attained, and cease to occupy
position among the respectable COM
monwealths of the union, or 1T must rise
above the slops and slums of political
jobbery to it's high estate.
No doubt democratic leaders will resort
to the methods so successfully followed
in the past, and use money in the coming
campaign as literally as in the CAM
paigns gone by; but the exposure of their
party secrets will call for double if not
treble the investment, for the purchased
voter will not be satisfied hereafter with
a pittanee of s.. when an army of heeler!
are making liberal rake-of from the
bourbon treasury for assuming to contro
their votes. The hangers-6n will give
the democracy no little trouble during
the presidential year, for the regimen
of paid agents must be provided for ol
the basis of the schedule brought out il
the senatorial investigation. Old rate
caraed by the democracy and the demo
cratic campaign fund will have to b
correspondingly increased.
But the incorruptible citizen of Mon
tana will have a voice in its politica
affairs in the coming campaign. and the
will see to it that the name of this grea
state is redeemed from the stains O
coercion and corruption which democ
racy has placed upon it. The selectio
of republican electors at the polls wi
serve notice to the nation that the expo
sure of democratic methods has born
fruit, and the people demand a repeal
