They did so much dirty work in the early days that a fair vote or count is impossible with them, even at this late day. The school in which they were reared was such as to entirely eliminate every particle of lion esty frorri their proceedings. They were brought to believe that all was fair in a political centest, and toey have never changed their minds. To these gentry was due to a very great extent the long period of democratic supremacy that they have flagrantly violated { the law, that, no sane, man can inake a pretense of argument , in' support of their position,-and that the admission ot Hamilton would be a shameless outrage upon! thev franchise in this stale. The plot was concocted and executed in ^ «■ order to deprive the populists of the advantages as' a party which the balance of power would nat urally give them without \Vhich p lesjù n o -b e t ï^ fu sin g! t o'- sancì ion • a -^proceeding sudV.as'that ofthe;Chotean county can v assi n g; boa rdr” -. ,, [Anaconda Standard,dem;]:.:- The Standard ardently ¿¿sires the election of k demociat :.tb 'theJ office of. senator.

Two years ago sev jjave nothing but their salaries to humiliation resting, on this . st.ate eral precincts were thrown out in this cohnty through and by the advice of these polit’cal sharpers, but fortunately the result was not changed. This year, however, they cooked up a scheme whereby they might realize the result of their labors. But how different from what they expected! In stead of having glory heaped upon their heads, they have received the condemnation of every demo cratic paper in the slate except the Helena Independent, for their pains. Congressman Dixon con demns the effort to seat “ Old Smoothy” by any such means and it looks now as if there was a live upon, and thev will wish they to ^ ,,eP£e8eilted in i a *i;>J the federal-senate by; two.precinct were dead before the end-of the whose th/ j , ta.,a session, as the democrats will lg- J ar(j honestly, believes-will bejfpr- nore them «and the republicans ever held in contempt by a large will be unable to afford them majority of the citizens of-tlre co.m much happiness. With the bal ance of power in the hands of the populists, however, the million aires would have to walk the floor, for thirty-three republicans and three podulists could send Mul- ville or Oald Edwards orMagiiinis or Joe Toole to the senate. They are all pretty fair men, too. \-Let the fraudulent member from Whoop Up be invited to do hi> legislative work in the'lobby. good sized nigger in the fence somewhere. Maybe “ A l” is not a Dixon, Daly, or Clark man, but a Hauser man, and hence the posi tion of the Independent and other democratic papers. It must be something ot that kind, for we are Blow to believe the sincerely of these pretentions on the part of the Great Falls Tribune, Anacon da Standard, and W. W. Dixon. The Independent which sticks out for .the “ Rape of the Ballot,” -is more in keeping with democratic practices than any of the rest, and it would seem that the others only condemn the fraud because Mr. Hamilton can not be relied upon to support their man for U. S. sena tor,rather than from njsense of jus tice and duty. Congressman W. W. Dixon, democratic member from Mon tana, savs: “ I think the board ex ceeded their rights in the «matter. They were not there to determine } compel *d the legality or the illegality of the vote. Their duly simply consisted in making a count of the votes. If the vote of B jx Elder was regular on its face, they had no authority whatever to reject it. The fact that fraud had monwealth. Whatever else hap pens, let us for once send to Wash ington a man with a perfect title; and, in the name of. .God, let no democrat in Montana look with least degree of allowance upon the plunder of thè people’s ballot boxes. The members of Jhe Cho tea u board had no shadow of righlt to go behind the returns—they know perfectly well that they had not. The issue raised by the affi davits was one respecting which notoriously the cauvassers had no function. A pair of republican o f ficials were the conspicuous offen ders in this business. Their con duct appears to be. lotten all through; and if the g.’andard loses the companionship or every dem ocrat in Montana an¿ finds itself to stand absolutely alone iii denunciation of this out rage, it, will \proclaim its dencia tion just the same.

AS- TO BOX ELDER PRcCINCT, [Inter Mountain, rep.] There is only one thing to bo said about this Box Elder steal, and it may as well be said plainly. When the legislative election re in the precinct, and the further fact the notice of such fraud was accompanied by affidavits, did not change the duty of the men whose duties are so clearly defined by law. I earnestly hope that the vote from Box Elder precinct will be counted. If frauds were com mitted there, and they can be proven, there is a remedy which one of the unluckysones in the re cent comity election. That, worthy had been on a trip to Havre, and and returning to Fort Benton, he boarded the nn ruing train. Soon the sorrowing candidate Jelt it his duty to wash up, and aj proaching the bowl, removedliis heavy over coat and sought a’ place on which to hang it. * Near the top of the partition he espied what resembled a heavy turns came to be was evident that figured up, it a can be applied.

This Box were short of a majority; that the Elder case is an exact parallel to populists had the balance of j the case o f precinct 34. The demo power, and that none of the mil Uonaire democrats might get to the senate. Then the train stopped in front of Oo.wasn's store, and y< tthe neg lected candilate bathed on.

T he M ontanun , C hoteau , Mont.—-I notice in the Drovers Telegram of the 39th inat., the efforts of your people in trying to dispose of wolves and coyotes. As I would be pleasod to -help them I offer the following simple remedy to be used wherever wolve's of coyotes’ boles or dens may be found: Place a solid, ball .of rags, about 2 % . inches in difimeter and;, well saturated with bi-sulphide of carbon, in each hole and cover or fill in the top with eartb, andyou will have wolf-dead.and burled, scalps and all, without further expense. The remedy will work for prairie dogs and rats. 10 pounds or one. gallon ot fi-sulphide of carbon is sufficient to put in 20 or 25 holes and would cost a>bj»ut $2. If there is a half-dozen wolves i» oue hole, 10 cen ts and the time it.'t&kep to fill in the hole with earth would buy a half-dozen scalps already buried. ■ I hope your people w.ili succeed in ex terminating the wolves in that section.
