WHAT TIRE PEOPLE WOULD SAY.

The election OF Wilbur F. Sanders "a
delegate in Congress from Montana would
DC virtually saying to Mr.. Cleveland and
the Democratic party ct large: Gentle.
men-The Territory Of Montana is Demo
cratic, but We have sent q Republican to
represent rs. We have been mistaken All
our lives. We have just found it out. We
are sorry. We never learned the beauties
OF Republican rule until now. We want no
more OF Democracy or Democratic admin
ls~trations. You are too henest. You have
hlled the Federal offices in our Territory
with our own people. We don't deserve
such consideration at your hands. You
refuse to repeal the Bland coinage law or
IN any way to arrest the appreciation of
silver. You refuse to enforce the obnoxious
timber laws in our Territory to the detri-
ment OF our miners, farmers and stockmen.
You have given US all We ask and it makes
US tired. We are weary.
We wan a return to the good old days
OF Republican rule when honesty was at q
discount and rascals and thieves filed
every department Of the government. We
want to ~begoverned by broken down polit-
ical hacks from every portion of the United
States. We want our Territory to be
made again a political hospital for pen
sioners upon the Republican party who
can't make a living elsewhere. We want
Carl Schurz and his army of spies and ennis

smelters and farm houses and residences.
We want that China treaty abrogated and
the country overrun with Asiatic serfs, We
want Irish citizens when visiting their old
homes across the Atlantic thrown and

We want the ballot boxes of the
South surrounded by Federal bayonets,
and a Deputy United States Marshal at
the elbow of every voter in the North to
see that he doesn't vote q Democratic |
ticket. We want a return of the halcyon |
days Of ballot-box stufing at Presidential |
elections. We want to see every Federal
with his coat off working for the
6. o. p. to the neglect of his duty. We |
to see him bounce every clerk and
who will not work for and vote
the Republican ticket. We want the old
Indian rings formed again to steal nine
dollars out OF every ten that are appropri-
to the ragged, rascally reds. We want
John Roach back again to doctor our sick
navy and carry elections for the Republi-
party. We want the rest of our now
limited public domain given to railroad
and if a ~workingman wants
home for himself and family We want to
zee him mortgage his labor for a score
of years to pay for it. We want the
Bland coinage act repealed and
demonetized. We want to see bond

poorer. We want to see every department

lie for position and spoils and every Dem
