The Republican party has been prceah
ing high tariff, but finding the people op
posed to it, are finally willing to remods
1t, and is now following in the footsteo
i OF the Democratic party, even though ,
reduced tariff would ruin the county, .s
Republicans contended at Chicago
Mr.. Clark is better able to look alter th,
interests OF the Territory in Congress thss;
MIR. Carter, who never sat in council or tli
legislature. Clark is tried and known
Carter, who is an estimable man is un
known except at Helena. BE has neyel
been tried; his mettle is unknown.
The speaker referred to the Territory
vassalage and dlsiranchisement. and said
the time had arrived that the Territory
should be
ADMITTED AS STATE.
Carriers election at this time. with thia
question arising, would be ia great calamity
Clark's election would strengthen the
Territory's demands for admission, az
the Democratic party stands pledged to
the admission of all the Territories eligible
to Statehood. Montana would have been
admitted had it not been for Dakota,s
demands for division. BY electing Carter
Republicans would get control of the desl-
Tiny OF the Territory not to be

desired.
Allusion was made to the Republican
nenate's action in the fishery treaty kat
tne speaker assured his hearers that NO
war wouid ensue. 1t was merely q piece
lingoism. Cleveland's retalitory message
was surprise to the Senate, which had
endeayored to make political capital by
it's action.
The speaker appealed to the voters NOT

territory. as with an unfriendly admins

permit great Republican majority to be
rolled mp in that body which has already

States.
The speaker closed with a glowing
tribute to Mr.. Cark's labors for the
DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORY,

MIR. CLARK's REMARKS.
Mr.. Clark opened his speech as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen-as look into the

ilities, selected this beautiful place as
