VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,.

The advance in silver to 99Bc appears to
have buried out OF sight the financial
planks in the jumbo platform, for the Or
gans do not grind to that doleful tune amy
acknowledgements
II we send a Republican Delegate to Con-
gress this fall, hopes for our admission as
State would not be realized for many years
to come. Our sister Territory, Dakota,
would also be refused the mantle OF State
hood, as she is expected to pair with US in
politics. Republicans should pause a mo-
ment and consider the Importance OF this
question. 1t effects their own home inter
est, as we'll as their Dakota brethren.
Toole will have a good majority without
any doubt, but the larger it is the better it
will be for the twin Territories.-Isising
Sun.
"You are authorized to state on my au-
thority that any allegations or insinua-
lions to the effect that you have not been
faithful to the citizens of Northern Mon
tana and diligent in seeking to promote
their interests are entirely without founda-
tion.-T. G. Power, to Delegate Toole."
"Much as we admire the remarkable
ability OF Col. Sanders, and acknowledge
his peculiar fitness for the position to
which he laudably aspires, WI cannot CORA
placently close our eyes to the formidable
opposition he will have to encounter, and
the almost insurmountable obstacles he
will have to overcome in order to reach the
goal of his landable ambition.'-Bozeman
Courier (Rep.)
Next Tuesday Delegate Toole viii stop the
prancing OF the war horse" by 1 1000 ma
lority.-Madisonian.
Mr.. Toole is receiving enthusiastic ova-
tons all over the Territory. AS the cam
paign progresses, Toole stock is advancing.
-Madisonian.
Joe Toole says there is one railroad case
in which he is interested, viz, The Northern
Pacific Railroad Company VS.. The People
of Montana. He represents the defend
ants, and will win the cause too.-River
Press.
The People VS.. The Northern Pacific
Railroad Company is clearly and squarely
the issue. Northern Montana has greater
at stake thar any other portion
the Territory, and there ought to be no
question as to the relief so far as this Sec
ton is concerned.-River Press.
Maginnis stated the question fairly when
he said the one livingissue in this campaign
whether the people OF this Territory
shall be represented in Congress or whether
Northern Pacific Railroad alone shall
be represented. This is the one vital issue, |
md no amount OF chatter about the tariff,
Dr. silver. or the abuse OF Sparks, or the adj
ninistration of Grover Gle will serve
TO conceal it f,om the wide.awake thinking
people OF Montana.-Ex.
Will Col. Sanders explain, when he comes
% Dillon: why he caused the annulment of
The law giving to miners and mechanics a
irst lien upon the mine they were employed
n? Will the Colonel tell how much OF a
div he was to get out of that So, OOO,-
Northern Pacific subsidy scheme? Will
he great orator. tell Why, az agent, at
;orney and confidential adyiser OF the
Pacific Coal Company he did not
inter his protest against the shameful lock-
ng-out of the Timberline coal miners? and
Why he did not advise, as its attorney, a Just
curse to lie pursued by the Northern Pa
ific Railroad Company toward the miners
llong the line Of it's road through Mon
ana? Granting that the subsidy "War
was acting for the best interests of
the best client in Montana. will the
;olonel explain whether or not the 'best
lient' would have locked him, Sanders,
tut if he had advised the Northern Pacific
;oal Company to do what plainly was
light and just to the employees of the Colo
lel's "best client?"
Col. Sanders gravely assured us in his
peech here that he would have much Ore
erred to assist in the election OF our pop
liar townsman Andrew +. Rurleigh to
to being a candidate himself for
hat office. Does any one believe he spoke
he truth? Andrew F. Burleigh does not.
lie says he was there-at the Conventional
md knows better. With this sample of the
frankness and candor staring US
n the lace can any one be 80 childlike as to
'elieve that in case of his election to Con-
ress he would sever his connection with
he railroad company and represent the
OF Montana instead Of the corpora
ion? 1t SO, such a one is too c%onfding to
ct along we'll in this sinful world.-Mon.
