OBITUARY.

As a candidate before the rex publican convention for marshal Marsh Warren had a handsome plurality, but the ring downed him ■ *«•»-» Democrats of Rensselaer are requested to meet at the court house next Tuesday evening for the purpose of placing in nominal tion a corporation ticket Votebs The republican tariff bill now before eongress is designed to increase taxation without adding to the revenue of the government.— It is gotten up solely with a view to increase the revenues of the monopolists. Our leading feature this week is the long and able speech by Senator Turpie, of Indiana, on the Montana senatorship question.— j£e believe that the best way to g t all the facts in this case be fore the people is to give Mr. Turpie’s speech in full. It is powerful m its presentation of the facts and brilliant in its denunciation of the gross outrage of which the Republicans have bpen guilty in stealing the two senatorships from this new state. Senator Turpie’s excoriation of the vulgai and corrupt aotion of one of the two men whom the Republican senators have invited to be one of their number is the most scathing dia*» trine of the session, and Demo?* crate everywhere will enjoy reading it.—National Democrat. The Democratic state officials elected by the people of Montana are beyond the reach of the republicans of the senate, otherwise they would steal from them the positions to which they have been elected. We had intended replying at some length to-day to the commu* nication of Sup’t Warren, but upon looking over it more carefully we find it simply a rehash of what has appeared heretofore in the interest of the school book monopolies He admit* with the Repub* lican that the County Board of resolved not to force the books into the schools—a mild way of saying they refused to obey the law. In order to show that there would not have been the saving to school patrons we claimed, he says but about S6OO worth were purchased in the county As these were not of the series con#

for i y the State, he simply shows the expenses of the school patrons have been increased to that extent.
