to select delegates to represent the Republi-

itself into bitter contest ~ to which Montana

discordant and embittsred masses ct their

LEADING DEMOCRATIC VIEWS.


NEW YORK, April 1.-THE World, con-
tinuing Its telegram Of various States, re-.
ceived the following reply from Stoneman:
SACRAMENTO, April 12.-SIR: In reply to
your inquiries Of yesterday, / have to say !:
First, that regard change of the political
administration at Washington as q restora.
ton Of the Republics return to first princi
Piles as they existed previous to the civil war
and the regulation and control of the corpo.
rations and monopolles as the paramount
issues In the coming political campaign. In
my opinion the tariff question to the people
Of this Coast Is secondary to that. The tar
iii question in time will be adjusted as the
demands and necessities Of the people re.
quire. Secondly, am not we'll enough in
formed IS to the details Of the Morrison bill
to give an opinion. ....
Thirdly, the platform Of the Ohio Democ-
racy on the subject of tariff, as far as am
Informed, meets the views OF the people of
this State. (Signed) GEO. SToNEMAN.
Crittenden, of Missouri, says: ...
First, am willing to make the past Con-
gressional extravaganza Of the Republican
party, Its departure from the pure Democrat
ic form of government, the unblushing fraud
OF 1875, and the tariff, the issues of the COM
ing campaign.
Seco IDLY, the Morrison bill Is a step In the
right direction. The majority In Congress
should pass 1t boldly aud bravely and make
no apologies for their votes. II Is q con-
sentative bill. It is reformation, not rsvolu-
ton, In the industries of the country.
woull not make that bill the standard of
any mans Democracy. The action of the
caucus should secure Its passage without
delay, by every Democratic vote In Congress,
as the majority should determine the policy
Of the party.
Thirdly, Until the public debt Is paid, I
favor the st. Louis Presidential platform.
We won once under the leadership Of Tildsn.
With such leader and such platform the
Democracy would win again. There should
be no cowardice about the candidate or the
platform. The party cannot surrender prin-
ciples for Office.
Grant, of Colorado, says:
First, / am not In favor OF making the
Morrison bill IN issue in the campaign I
see no urgent necessity for an immediate re-
duction of the present tariff.
Secondly, don't favor the passage Of the
Morrison bill by the House.
Thirdly, ! am In favor OF tariff for both
revenue and protection, and for raw material
- we'll ~ for manufactured products. At
the same time don't favor Q prohibition
tariff, and / think moderate reduction on
many articles might be made without dis
turbing industrial interests.
Click of Kansas, says: Is
believe In making the change In the ad-
ministration It Washington the paramount
question 10 the campaign. am In favor Of
the immediate passage OF the Morrison bill
BY the House. 1 am In favor Of tariff for
revenue and for incidental protection, 50
framed as not 10 favor monopolies.

son surrounding him, and constantly sxhib-
Its childish eagerness to be before the pub

authorities officially deny the Emperor ID

greatly from insomnia, that set In during Z
eongestive chill, which prostrated him Tues

clans desperately engaged at bis bedside ell

life. The spirit Of discord should halt.
To strip u Of all vagueness, the personal
feeling existing between Col. Sanders and
Governor Crosby Is dividing the party In
Butte aud Helena into factions. III they, or
either Of them, have instigated and eneour-
aged this TO the detriment of the party, to
subserve their personal purposes, they have
done wrong. We do not know that they
have, and trust 1t Is mistaken zeal that has
led their friends astray. We believe, and
we have reason TO believe, their differences
are purely individual, for which the party In
its general character does not care, and for
which other members Of the party should
not permit Its interests to suffer. These per-
sonal antagonisms Of prominent men fire.
quently enter into politics and disturb the
harmony of parties, but that Is no reason
why 1t should be permitted In the Republic
can party of Montana. We believe there
will be enough Republicans in the Bozeman
Convention to sit calmly, squarely and con-
clusively down on any Interior objects that
may be sought to be introduced there, and
TO assert Enthusiastically that personal aliena-
tions among leaders shall be kept subordi-
nate to the general welfare. We do not
know that such objects will be sought. Ger
tsinly the highest duty Of the gentlemen
named Is to disavow any such purpose and
to see that they are not. The squabbls has
attained sufficient dimensions already, and
has been given prominence it does not de-
serve. Let our delegates meet In Conven-
ton as Republicans, select delegates who
will worthily represent the Territory at
Chicago, which is the extent Of its duties rs
defined in the call, and disperse ss friends.
And let him be leader who next campaign
does the best work for his party. ...

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
How Illinois and Pennsylvania Will Stand

ALBANY, April 1.-THE results of the
first weeks struggle for the election of dele
gates to the Republican State and National
Conventions leaves no doubt that the State
Convention will be under the control of
those opposed to Arthur's denomination. The
Convention consists of ninety nine delegates.
OF these twenty-three have already been
elected. Blaine has q clear lead of ninety
delegates fayoring his nomination, and Ar.
thur follows, with not to exceed fifty-seven
delegates. or the remainder twenty are
pronounced In favor of Edmunds and twenty
four are pronounced against Arthur, but d.
vided in uncertain proportions among Blaine,
Edmunds, Lincoln and Hawley. Five dele
gates are not committed. Forty delegates
have been chosen in Kings county whose
preferences cannot be exactly ascertained.
A majority Is claimed by both friends and
opponents Of Arthur.
PHILADELPHIA, April l2.-of the sixty
delegates from this State to the National
Republican Convention, all but sixteen have
been chosen. Thiry-four are instructed for
Blaine and Lincoln, one county going SO far
rs to require written pledges. Arthur has
ten, but the seat Of one delegate from this
city Is contested. The contest IL to be set
tied by the State Convention, with the
chances largely In favor Of the Blaine con-
testant. Two more from the city of Pitts
h,,. -. ,rft1 -. H
favor of the Blaine party. Two only are
uninstructed. The State Convention will
send six Blaine men to the Convention, be.
lug about nineteen or twenty In his favor, as
far as known, and all districts yet to choose
are disposed toward the Maine statesman.
Present indications are that the delegation
will be unit for Blaine, with . possibility
Of six Arthur men holding to him through
the FIRST ballots.
