II PEOPLE OF THIS TERRITORY
have had occasion to hear from me before
upon this Chinese question. No American
citizen ought to be compelled to compete
with men who can sleep in sheds like cat.
tle and who never intend to become citizens
ofthe United States. To the thrifty Ger
man, the gallant and generous CeIt, the
hardy Scandinavian, the genial French
man, to all who come to share the respon.
sibiiities and work out the problem of our
civilization and destiny, to all who seek
home and shelter in our vast domain, fling
wide the portals, but 10 the people that
come not for homes and shelter, but only
for gain, who have no share in our destiny,
no love for orr institutions, no reverence
for our religion, no respect for our laws,
we have the right to say and by sOlem leg
will not have you.
WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE
FOR MONTANA AT THIS SESSION,
Under the decision of the secretary of
the interior in the now famous Gutlford-
Miller case, over a million acres OF land
claimed by the Northern Pacific railroad
in Montana, will be restored to the public
domain. This administration has opened
for settlement 1900, 900 acres of land in
the BlackfOot Indian reservation in North
ern Montana, In which the whole territory
is Interested. And an empire in itself has
been added to our possession 1T has made a
fair appropriation to obtain the necessary
information to authorize the government
TO enter upon a system of irrigation in the
territories. a proposition which l had the
honor first to present and discuss In con-
gress; it coined 80 00, 900 of silver dollars,
being S6,OOO.OOO more than was ever coined
before in any one year; it has put a quietus
on Chinese immigration; it has passed the
amendments offered by me to prevent the
Northern Pacific railroad from g0bbling
Mp our mineral lands, and also to authorize
the disposal of the Fort Ellis military res
eryatiOn.
UNDER HOMESTEAD LAWS,
it has passed a bill to provide for the ad-
justment and payment of Indian depreda-
ton claims in which so many of our citizens
are interested and who have been for 80
many years deprived of their money; 1t has
passed a bill to provide arms, ammunition,
etc, to our regular and enlisted active and
uniform militia: it has established the free
deiivery system in two of our principal
cities; 1t has passed a bill authorizing the
construction of a bridge across the Missouri
river at Fort Benton, which has become a
admission of Montana into the Union; it
has reported favOrably the following addi-
tional bills: To sell the Flat Head Indian
lands In Bitter Root Valley to BONA tide
settlers; to repeal the alien land law and
Helena to cost $50, 600, this last bill having
passed the senate. OF course our political
adversary, Mr.. Carter, will tell you some
things, it didn't do, and which If he is
elected to congress he will make it do or
assassinate It. | suppose, as he has threat
en"h the tariff. 1t strikes rue that all ad-
ADMINISTRATION that can make such a showing
for Montana in a single year, deserves the
respect and confidence OF our people.
THE SUMMARY.
Ladies and gentlemen, l have referred to
these matters OF national concern, not be-
cause your vote or mine can affect the re.
suit, because unhappily under our form of
territorial government We are not permit
ted 10 take part in the great struggle for
political supremacy now going on in the
east, but with the great party that has al
ways advocated the protection of the rights
OF the people as against corporate power
and detat wealth, with the party that
carries the banner of revenue reform, a re-
form demanded by the best and loftiest In
SEPARATIONS that ever moved men to action
with such a party we want to be closely
identified and in full sympathy
OUR CANDIDATE.
Our candidate needs no encOmium from
me. More than twenty years ago he came
among you q young man without fame or
for June, His success and prosperity is q
part of the history and pride Of Montana.
NO more fitting nomination could have
been made. No man is more cOnversant
with our resources or knows better the
wants of Montana. OF sound integrity and
knowledged pluck, of strong intellect and
a laudable ambition, W. A. Clark will
make as good a delegate as our popular
friend Major Maginnis, and you know thai
is saying a good deal. The possession of
these Qualities In such an eminent degree

ter service than has been rendered, and
greater results h have been achieved by
your humble servant, who, while he has
always strlyen hard to promote the pros.
perity Of Montana and serve his con ititu-
sncy without regard to politics or section,
has not succeeded to the full measure Of
his expectation.
l gladly accept a respite from official re-
sp0nsibility and know of no gentleman to
whom l can yield with greater pleasure
than to our worthy standard bearer-HOn.
W. A. Clark.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Toole's able
argument, General Turner introduced as
the next orator of this great occasion, W.
Y. Pemberton, Eaq, of Butte, the boss
stumper of the territory in either party,
who spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies' and Gentlemen-1f
ishouiu US cdileu upon 10 select an aI-
dience to which l should prefer Of all 9TH
eIs to talk, and before whom l should feel
proud in appearing, it would be before n
Helena audience. (Applause.) | knew
Helena in its earliest days. | was a bOy
then; am a boy yet; democrats never gel
old. (Laughter.) And l remember those
days and l see around me now many heads
that are growing grey, that were then as
how battling for the principles of pure old
democracy. l can assure you. my friends.

have been sticking to that faith ever since.
The truth of 1t Is l am like the Irishman
who started for q democratic meeting one
night, and on the road he fell in with a
few friends, and he accidentally, of course.
fell Into q few saloons and took a little too
much of tho orator. But he finally Thought
IT was Time to go to the democratic meet
ing, and on the road he passed BY a church
where they were having a big revival, Pat
stumbled into the church thinking 1t was

and as be was always in the habit of going
well to the front at democratic meetings,
he walked forward where the fire was I'M
hottest. The nraacher aau him o,uninn IL
