On the stage were assembled the leading
lights OF the Democracy Of Butte. After a
fine selection by the Emmett Guard band,
the Hon.. w. A. Clark, the chairman, ad-
dressed the audience, saying: Ladies and
gentlemen: have been requested by the
Democratic central committee to preside
over this meeting this evening, and it will
be my first duty before introducing to you

three cheers for the Democratic ticket from

This WAS responded to with a vim that
threatened the walls of the building, and
three times three was given.
Mr.. Clark, continuing, said he would not
consume a moment OF their time by any |
PREDATORY remarks, but would introduce to |
his audience the Hon. ]. X. Toole.
Hon. j. X. Toole.
Mr.. Toole was greeted with cheers that
lasted for several minutes, and when the
applause subsidized, said that his auditors
could mot imagine how gratifying it was to
him, after having been engaged for nearly
thirty days in continuous labor. to meet
with the generous and cordial reception |
which he had just received. He said that |
it was the close of the most remarkable

racy. Ten days ago, the speaker said, the
Republicans had turned from the issues OF
thisc campaign in a spirit OF malevolence
and undertook to defame the men whose
lives, energies and existence had been de-
voted to the development OF Montana. In
the hour OF distress and in the throes OF
despair they had imported into the state
orators from abroad, who played upon
race preiudices, and. in some insta' ces, in
voked the considerations 81 creeds. But
these endeavors had all fallen through,
and at last the charge was made and
sent abroad that the chairman OF
the Democratic Central committee had
c~oncocted a scheme by which Democrats
were to suppress Republican votes. Men
who would make these charges were driven
to desperation. The gentleman in ques.
ton had marched up and down the hill OF
labor with more men in his wake than any
other man in the country. In Silver Bow
county and in Deer Lodge was to be seen
his work, furnishing employ ment to thous.
ands OF people. The speaker would leave
it to the people to vindicate that gentle
man. The people were with the Democracy
in this contest, and the charge which was
put forth that the Democracy was engaged
insthe connection OF some fraudulen scheme
was the old story which preceded every
election in this territory. The party OF
high moral ideas was promulgating this
malice, and it behooved the people of this
county, having a due regard for
public interest and private rights
and represent alton to see that
on an election day q rebuke
was administered to the men that invited
this sort OF thing, that it would never oc.

this country from b%oyhood; he had come
here 10 years ago, and no man dared

reputation until u charge had been made !
