OF bills passed for the express benefit OF
the laboring classes. As the titles OF these
bills have already been published by The
MINER, we omit naming them.
Toole, in the course OF his remarks at
this time, again recalled Sanders
connection with the Timberline oppressors
and his agency OF the Northern Pacific
in two OF the Northern Pacific branches in
the Territory, and then asked: lis Colo
mel Sanders the man the people OF Mon
tana want to represent them in Congress?"
His answer was heard in a thousand
voices crying. No! No! No!
Mr.. TOole dwelt at length upon Colonel
Sanders pro-Chinese record, about his de-
claring that a Chinaman is as good as any
other foreigner, and OF his doctrine of the
brotherhood OF man with the China
man as the central figure. During his
mastery word painting OF Sanders love
for the Cbinaman. Mr.. Toole was fire.
quently interrupted by shouts of laughter
and applause. He then read the anti Chi.
nese memorial introduced by Granville
Stuart in the House in 1879 and read the
names Of those voting aye and no upon the

and mentioned the TACT that it was upon
Sanders motion it was put upon it's fina
passage.
Mr.. Toole recalled the TACT that when g
lot of numbering red skins had invaded thu
Territory and murdered American ~citizens
Il party of whites followed them up iI
British Columbia and worried them some
| And that when the friends OF the murder
GUS savages anne down into Montana anC
demanded that the white pursuers should
be prosecuted Wilbur F. Sanders was tn,
only lawyer in the Territory who woulc
take the case for the British Columbians.
The Northern Pacific has a paid lobby al
Washington, said the speaker, and with
Sanders there it could work irreparabls
injury to the people OF the Territory. And
he then asked the audience if it thought
Mr.. Sanders was the man the people wanted
to represent them. Again q shout of mo
went up from the vast crowd.
Mr.. Sanders, the speaker said, held that
stockmen who had cattle killed by his road
should pay the company damages for al
lowing their stock to get OF the track az
they endangered the train. Wher
the company was sued for killing cattle
Sanders by q ruling OF the court at Helena
forced the injured party to take all his wit
nesses to Miles City for the trial of the case
and il the stockman win the suit the com
pany will then make $3.50 out of the trans.
action by the transportation OF witnesses.
NJ. ToOle again in the most solemn and
convincing n denied he had in any
way been connected with the firm of Toole,
Toole & Wallace since December 1884.
Sanders exploits at the battle OF Shiloh.
where he ordered a retreat for himself at
the sound of the first gun and that he was
not again seen to be known until he turned
up on the banks of Alder Gulch soon after
wards. was faithfully recited and illicited
great applause. The speaker added that
Sanders had been fighting the battle of the
Rebellion ever since-with his mouth.
In conclusion, Mr.. Toole declared he was
now, and always would be, found an advo-
cate for the people in the great case of the
Northern Pacific
VS..
The People of Montana.
He should defend them against the en-
OF that gigantic corporation,
and if he went down in the dust of defeat he
would still be found lighting the battle for
the people.
The speaker was repeatedly chee-ed
his ad .nirable address, and
he had spoken the last word and
made his last bow in this memorable cam
the very roof seemed to raise with
the deafening cheers which resOunded be-
it.
The band then played a beautiful selec-
ton, when Chairman Clark introduced Col.
D. Wolfe to the audience. The gentleman
q most happy speech and kept
the crowd 10 constant good humor, and at
the same time made some OF the hardest
against the opposition made during
the campaign. We are sorry that want of
room forbids the giving of a more extended
Of Col. De Wolfe's most happy and
te ling speech.
When Col. De Wolfe. took his seat loud
calls were made for Mr.. Clark. That gen.
attempted to excuse himself, but
the crowd would not accept of one, and Mr..
Clark took the platform, The
gentleman, after remarking that
he considered the call a very great
compliment to himself in view OF the fact
that the audience had already listened to
two most excellent speeches, made one of
the most brilliant efforts ever made upon
the political platform in Butte. He re-
the history of silver coinage, the
cause OF its recent decline and it's present
and held the mirror up to the,
until recently, anti-silver Inter Mountain,
and burned the ground from under that
Inconsistent sheet. For nearly
an hour the gentleman held the audience
and when at last he retired
before it, another shout of applause went
up from the vast crowd, and three times
three cheers were given for Toole and the
Democratic ticket.
