De plause. l am glad to see, and it is
" great satisfaction to me, that there ha
been an interest manifested in the primarie

g. that is unparalleled in its history hereto
,e fore. We see here in Silver Bow county me-
,e coming up to the primaries to the count,
10 lconventions and to the Territorial conver:
a tions with a determination in their face
t and in their eyes that
DEMOCRACY SHALL BE TRIUMPHANT.
t [Great applause.] This has never beer
9 heretofore to this extent. What does il
d mean? It means that we are upon ths
2 Ieve OF Statehood. 1t means that there il
q possible crisis in the history OF the Dem
ocratic party in Montana, but that crisis

3 every evidence OF it here in this assemble ,e
{ to-day. This is critical period in the
j history OF Montana in this respect, that
, we have applied for admission into the

IBemoeratic Territory. and it is probably

side, though not with the same amount of
population, has just as much wealth and is
quite as much entitled to take a position
alongside oil her in this Union. Let the
Democratic party be defeated and we stand
no chance of getting into the Union for
years to come. [Applause.] I read be-
tween the lines that the people OF this Ter
1 rltory understand this position, and desir-
Ing place in the Union OF the States, they
are coming up with heart and hand aud
they say "We will
CARRY MONTANA DEMOCRATIC"
and by the grace OF God we are going to do
it. [Applause.l The Republicans claim
That the Democratic party is in favor of
Tree trade and against the labor interests
OF this country. If we look around upop
TINS assembiage, can ANYBODY suspect that
tnls is an audience unfavorable or antago-
nlstIc TO the laborinterests OF this country? |
Will venture to say that half of the men
OF this audience who represent to-day the
democratic party-and for intelligence and |
posltlon have never been equalled in the |
history of the country--have picked rocks |
IN siulce boxes. [Applause.] No, gentle
men, this is not party antagonjstic TO |
labor. They would eDdeavor to make Won
believe this. They would try to convey
the Impression that the Democratic partv |
10 antagonistic to labor, but i is the recos. /

There is

where wages are better than in Montana

better satisfied and contented and is en-.
abled to surround himself with the COM
ioits and Injuries of life and clothe and
iced his children and send them to school
than IN Montana to-day, and we mean
that 1T shallbe So. They would represent
20 you that the Democratic party is q
party OF free trade. Why? Because thew
propose the revision OF the tariff and to .
reduce it from AZ LILO to 42 7S-1OO per
CENT, reduction less than per cent, :
and yet we are called the party OF free .
trade. The Republican party demanded in ?
