I silice, occupying a responsible position in connection with the mines and works of the H. M. & R. Co. He has in his life filled the office of etellool- trustee and other local positions, but has never been a candidete, for a county office. He has a wife and ; seven children and is an honored... - citizen' of Wickes and fully competent to occupy the position for which he has been nominated by his political - a,esoci ates. JAMES E. JACKSON, Republican nominee for joint Repre- sentative from Jefferson and Gallatin counties, was born in Van Buren County, Iowa., in 1864, and was edtí- cated in the common schools of the county and the high school of Ot- tumwa, Iowa. He - learned the art of telegraphing and for five years was connected with a coal company of Iowa.

At present he is superintendent f the Minah mite, near Wickes. He s married and has one child, and is a ember of the Masonic fraternity. Ie is a pleasant and popular gentle- an and will make a good races hough the nomination was. entirely nexpected. • - FRANK LINDSEY, ominee fem. Sheriff, is an Ohio boy, laving been born in Scioto county in 853. Hé was educated in the district chools of his native State and worked t. farming until he came to Montana, which was in 1881. His residence in his Territory has been entirely in (denims county, and he has worked t smelting, mining, and simular pur- uits. Three' years ago he became a leputy under Sheriff McNeill and re - aimed that position until the term of ffice expired, giving the best testis - action amen officer and making innu- nerable friends throughout the county ho will be apt to , remember him kindly on election day. Last year e made a visit home and on his re - urn in the spring leased the Summit House at Wickes and he and his brother have been running the hotel nail recently. He is a son of a veteran, his father - and two brothers eying served their country in her time of need, and he himself would have been a soldier had his age per- mitted. He is a bachelor and a mem- ber of the United Workmen and Knight of Pythias societies. Frank will make a eplendid officer, and while he will keep a good watch on those who violate the laws, he will not allow his rebid to become 80 warped\i as to think every man a rascal be- cause there are some rogues. W. L. Hay, The nominee for County Attorney, was; born in New York and received his education it) the public schools of his native State and in the Plattsburg Academy.- He read law with a prom- inent law firm of Platteburg and at- tended law lectures for a short time. He came to Montana in 1887 and has been a resident of Boulder ever since. He was the nominee of the Rebubli- cans last fall for the position for which he is again a candidate, and was elected after a spirited campaign. The people have had a year tu judge of his capability and will doubtless vote accordingly. R. E. HAMMOND, The nominee for the office of Sùper- intendent of Common. Schpols, was born in Greenusi county, Kentucky, in 1859, his parents removing when he was in his early years to Ohio. In the common schools of that State he received his education, and as a teacher in the public schools he lias spent most of his life since attaining manhood. He came to Montana in 1887 and has proved ans effieieut teacher in Elkhorn and Rabersburg. in this county. Last spring he was one of the nominees of the Republi- cans of the Eleventh District for the Constitutional Convention and was elected, and served throughout the session which has eteently closed. He was married last June to Mim Luel- la Ritchhart, of Radersburg. ROBERT FISHER, Republican nominee for Senator, was born in Philadelphia, October 10, 1827, of Irish descent on his mother's side, he received a common school education with some polish from the high school of Philadelphia; he learn- ed no trade, but took service in a store on Market street until 1849, when he emigrated to Tennessee, and in 1852 left Tennessee for California atriving in San Fransisco in May of the same year and almost immediate- ly left, for the mines. He followed mining and merchandising for eight years, and in 1860 remoyed to Neva- da, during the excitement attending the first discoveries on the Comstock, and settled in Careen valley, near the town of Genoa, then a part of Utah Territory: On the formation by Con- gress in 1861 of the Territdry of Nevada, he was elected in 1862 to the I Legislature, serving two years in the lower house of that body. On the ! admission ef the Territory into the ' Lumen as a State in 1864, he voted for Abraham Lincoln for President. In that year lie received the nomination for member of the Assembly but de- clined on the .ground that he could not support a resolution adopted by the County. Convention requiring him to support a Specific Contract law, as Mr. Fisher held it was in direct viola- tion of the \Iron Clad oath\ enacted by a firmer Legislature which haste a member was obliged to subscribe to before taking his seat. The Specific Contract law was enacted by the Leg- islature in January 1865 and was decided by the Supreme Court ten days after as being contrary to orgaie• ic law. And the Legislature which enacted it repealed it during the same *elision. Mr. Fisher was again re- turned to the Legislature the follow- ing year, 1865. On the adjournment of this Legislature in March, 1866, Mr. Fisher removed to Montana, st- riving in Virginia City in June of that year; be drifted to Grizzly gulch and followed mining there until June, 1867; then removed to Springville, Jefferson county, and resided in this county until 1881, serving two terms in the Legislative Council, in 1871 and 1873 respectisiely7 In 1881 Mr. Fisher visited the eastern States and removed to New Mexico owing to ill health of his family; be rem-Ili/led there six years returning here in Au- gust, 1887. Mr: Fisher has not been officially in politisss since the, fall of 1873 having been defeated for the Legislative Council in that year ow- ing to his determined opposition to railroad subsidy. In the Territorial Convention of 1868, there being a res- olution offered in declaring it inexpe- dient to nominate a candidate for Congress, Mr. Fisher opposed it with 80 much vigor that it was defeated by a small majority and Mr. Fisher was then nominated for Congress but de- clined the honor, assigning for a rea- son, that there was treachery in his party in favor of Democratic candi- dates and that he was fearful that the efforts made by him to defeat the above resolution might and no doubt would be contrived as an effort made for his own personal aggrandizement. Mr. Fisher has not been an office seeker in the strict sense of the term, but holds himself to be the personal property of his party 80 to speak and accept such favors with •a determina- tion to win. • DEMOCRATIC .NOMINEES. Brief sketches of some of the Demo- cratic nominees for the offices to be filled by the electors of Jefferson county are herewith given: • SHF.RMAN F.

He 'stands in the highest respect in his community and has filled the various local offices which good citizens are called upon to fill, but has never aspired to county office, and to -day would not be a can- 'didate except that it is the wish of his neighbors that the southern see- the of the county be represented on the County Board, it being a number , of years since that section was so favored. Mr. Tuttle is married and has six children, and is a member of the A. O. U. W. and the Methodist church'. 301IN MURRAY, Another nominee for County Commis- sioner, was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1843, and ,came with his parents to Illinois in 1847.

Spetdal Correspondence of Tun Ma.] ELKHORN, August 25.—We often wonder why our enterprising little camp is so neglected and seldom mentioned in your valuable paper ' that we sometimes feel slighted. I At present our camp is rather quiet owing to the shutting clown of the mill for general repairs amid putting in stale new pans which will take at least ten days longer. Mr. Geo. Killbourne has made some grand im- provements in the mill since he came here. The new wood flume is nearly finished, the Glass Bros. are the con- tractors. It is nearly two miles in length, some -of the trussel work is thirty five feet high. Mr. John Andrew is our new prat. master. Politically both, parties seem well pleased with their ticket in this place, we look for a close race here this fall. B. G.
