wogians who. took Rspublicanism o. Demo-
crats took their whisky, and II the rsmineA.
win 90 down among them and preach Re-
pubiicahism he win get two-thirds- df tliat
RAILROAD vote, whatever the corporation may
wish. The speaker said the people could
always DO trusted, and whatever political
success he had had was due to the fact that
he never doubted the people. If Martin
Maginnis Ii thu only man In the Territory
who can be elected on account Of the rail-
road vote, then he Is the only man whom the
the railroad can control, and should there
fore DO defeated. The question must be met
manfally and Immediately, for II this con-
test II allowed to 90 By default now, hundreds
will throw up the sponge for thu future and
Montana nay calculate on being controlled
by one or another corporation for ali time.
Let Montana 10 the friend Of all corpora
lions but the tool Of mono; let them know
that y common carriers they have no right
to dictate nominations or to drive their
employees to the polls. II they attemptit the
State should step in and say that no such
employe shall have the right to vote. It II
remarkable that the Democracy should
attempt to carry the Territory by the vote of
men who have no interest In 1t. The Terri
tory and the several counties are In good
condition; the valleys arc settling, mines
are opening, the future has bright prospects.
Will the people Of Montana keep in the way
of manly dealing they have been accustomed
to or become the tool Of corporations or of
bosses There have been bosses in the Re-
publican party; not In Montana, for
there was nobody big enough but
IL In great States Republicans will
destroy their party In order to get rid oil
] bosses, shall Monianians give up tho fight
| thus early In the contest Martin Maginnis
will gain nothing by his action in this mat
| ter; Colonel Voolfolk will certainly not gaiz
| anything by his course; the Northern Pacific
win gain nothing If 1t makes this fight. Bu
the speaker did not believe the company
| would interfere; II the Republicans woult
make the fight, two-thirds Of the railroad
vote will 20 to them. Republicans through
out the country were gaining in number aat
the Democrats growing less; still the latter
were making 1t lively as they usually did;ane
this was good thing A. 1t kept the majority

tana, so long in the minority, deserved much
credit In the way Of keeping Democracy In
the right line Of duty; the speaker suggested
to his Democratic friends that the position o.
the minority was not such bad one after all
that they did not have to lay awake nighta sc
much or drink 80 much bad whisky. .,.
Mr.. Claggett's speech was received will
much enthusiasm and applause, and he woult
have been listened to much longer will
| pleasure. After he retired Judge Galbraitf
was called for but declined to speak In poll
tical meeting on account Of his position
Hon. Alex. e. Mayhem was then called ou
and said that he had fully decided to TAKE
the Maginnis pill and thought the kepubli
cans would be sorry-looking crowd II
November. After . few more humorous re
marks he retired and altar passing q vote Of
thanks to the speakers and listening to more
music by the band the meeting adjourned.
