! Enthusiastic Democratic Meeting Ad.
dressed by County Candidates:
The meeting at South Butte last evening
was the best in the county thus far. The
| attendance was splendid and the speakers
in the best OF spirits. The people met at
the Knights OF Labor Hall and Mr.. Hag-
garty of the Central Commute called them
to order and at their suggestion. he pre-
sided during the evening.
Mr.. j. H. Duffy was introduced to the
audience and set forth that Sanders was
practically occupying q position of attor-
ney in a case for both plaintiff and defend.
ant, and did not believe any man could do
this and treat both fairly. Such being the
case, it will be even more impossible for
| him to serve truly in q case where the prin-
| cipals are a corporation and the people.
| All know how disastrous corporation rule
has been in California and Nevada.
Chinese cheap labor is the greatest
curse in these places and thus San
ders is on record rs having de-
! of competing lines entering the Territory.
In speaking of the Tlmberline troubles he
%forcibly explained the Infamous measures
adopted bv the coal company to impover-
ish and then eject men from their quarters.
The profits of the labor we're used up in ex-
cessive charges by the corporation. An at
torney is responsible for the acts of his
client by silent asquiescence. After general
remarks on the county ticket he showed
that many on the Republican ticket were
really political bnmmers, being perpetual
candidates for Office. Pinkham was re-
ferred to as one Of the lot who had run for
was only too anxious to run
for any Office from dog catcher
to Governor. In closing he
spoke of the "O!d War Horse" as having
been ridden almost to death in several
races, but although a three times loser,
when the bell rings he is trotted out on the
track again, and thinks he must continue
to run. A vote for Sanders is a vote for
Chinese cheap labor; q vote for Sanders is
a vote for 80 cents a day; q vote for San
ders ia a vote for a surrender OF liberty,
aye, slavery.
Sample H. Orr then spoke, briefly explain
ing that the decentralization of silver under
Republican administrations were for the
benefit of a pitalists, and to thedetriment OF
the poorer classes. Hestated that there was
positive evidence that corporations owning
timber land had preserved it while cutting
timber from Government land, that by SO
doing they worked a hardship on actual
settlers. If all the measures taken by
Sparks are proven to be evil how is it pos
sible that the election of Sanders can be
made a benefit to Montana.
Mr.. Charles Booth paid his respects to
the meeting and said he would endorse
Col. PembertOn's remark before they were

DR.. Shultz made a few remarks in his
usual bright and pointed manner and made
a special hit in his comparison of planks
in the Knights Of Labor and Democratic
platforms.
Mr.. Barrett in a few chosen remarks |
the Democracy OF the county for

saw fit to elect him he would en- !
deavor to serve them faithfully.
Mr.. McQueeney spoke OF the advantage
Of meetings of the character he addressed
md of the laudable desire Of the people to
hear the views of candidates and thereby
Judge as to their eligibility, etc. In speak
ing OF the candidates for Sheriff, he re-
marked that Lloyd is a victim of mis-
placed confidence, and be felt sorry for him. |
He stated that if he was elected to the office
Of County Commissioner he would dis
charge the duties Of hat office for the ben
Eft OF the people, regardless Of the wishes
Of men OF either party. His address was
most excellent and logical and was received
With marked attention aud approval
throughout.
At the close of Mr.. McQueeney' g remarks
Haggerty arose and stated that two
