ing your vote for Delegate to Congress-. l
see before me many old Democrats OF b
Territory-men who twenty years ago
planted here the policy Of home rule, and
they have fought to maintain it against
leaders OF catpet-bazgers who cat1eto pull
it down. Now under Democratic rule they
will see that it is not torn down when the
sun OF prosperity il shining and the
sky is clear. We are assembled to-day as
did our ancestors 100 years ago in III
woods and the halls Of natures to say that
a British King should not dictate to them.
To-day we say that nc railroad kings, who
sees our fair country only from the win
US who our delegates in Congress shall be.
We are here to-day RECALLED on the fatted
OK, which wal not killed by the Northern
Pacific Railroad. a corporation that pays
nc taxes and is no respector of homes or
titles. Many Deer Lodge farmers have
paid for and talented their lands, but
they have had their homes and
meadows torn up without compensation.
They had no defense even under the Presi-
dents signature against these kings who
think themselves monarchs OF all. They
talk about the invasion of their Territory
to other roads, and this reminds me OF a
story about 8 steer which was on that
track. He was run over and killed, and
the poor farmer could get no damages.
The company's attorney insisted that the
animal was invading their right of way.
If lisa &C Dennis Me-. utcEeon was alive he
would tell you that the savory meat which
you have just eaten could not be raised
without a protective tariff. They always
want protection, but the farmers never get
any by their consent. You hayejust eaten
a slice or two of the barbecued hog, picked
the bones and thrown them away, and in
November we will pick the bones OF that
party which has hogged nearly everything
IN the United States for the past twenty
five years-that party which has demon
strated that no Democrat, though he had
tonight at the muzzle Of a gun for his coun-
try could even get to sweep the steps OF
the Treasury. I have seen this only too
plainly proved. I have tried myself and
been many, many times refused. Col.
Sanders tells a joke on President Cleveland
and said that he had once violated the laws
of chastity, but that Mrs. Cleveland would
look after him herself. Perhaps some of
his successors would stand watching them
selves. As to the civil service rules, they
should only apply to clerical work, and
lean, hungry, razor-back Democrats should
now be put in and given q chance to fatten
up. When Col. Sanders comes here he will
say that his boy could not cut a flag-pole
because of the timber regulations, which
would not permit him to cut one under
eight inches in diameter. He will need one
in November when the returns come in
upon which to hang hi. flag in mourning.
But Col. Sanders "tears his passion all to
tatters' in denouncing Sparks. / drew up
the first timber laws lever fra med-the one
now in use-and the regulations regarding
timber eight inches in diameter were made
by Republicans and signed by Schurz and
williamson, and Endorsed afterward bv
and Teller, all Republicans.

per cent. of the western entries were fraud

cans. 1t was made by a Republican special

and used in Congress by two Re-.
publican members. Neither was it Sparks
who wanted to interfere with and upset
all of cur business. 1t was q munificently
endowed railroad company. That is the
only institution which ever wanted to.
Sanders enneavors in his campaigning to
raise fine issues-theo!oyical ~issues-which
is like the two darkies stealing chickens.

have two railroads in our Territory, and
all welcome them and are glad they are
here. do not SANDER them, but others
want to colhe. We have competing mines
in the East. and need them. Messrs. Hill
and Broadwater looked at the mines OF
Butte, and they examined the coal beds at
Great Falls. Then they were satisfied and
to cut down the prices of
our supplies by one-half by building
q competing road, thus permitting
as to compete with the Calumet and Hecla
and other properties. They asked no SUBJ
sidy, no land grant. They only wanted the
right OF way, but half a dozen parallel
roads were started to defeat and ~paralyze
them. Sanders was at the head OF this op-
position, and hurried off to New York to

of meaningless verbiage and was unworthy

that their pr sence was impossible.
Two OF them were then too young. AS for
myself, l was then carrying q sword in the
Army of the Potomac and couldn't get
here, but Sanders did. He mustered all of

While in the Army OF the Tennessee for a
