Ia the preservstion OF The Unlon-tte
democrat, Of 1860 believed in It's des-
tructinn. Andrew Jackson believed
that the United States as Q nation
should legisla,e for the country In
which We live, for which he was con-
demned by foreign nations. Cleveland
believed the opposite, and his policy,
condemned at home, was applaudsd
by all free trade nations abroad. In
1860 Buchanan and his party did not
believe that the constitution gave the
right to preserve the nation from
Treason; the entire cabinet began to
plot TO destroy the work Of ninety
years. Had Andrew Jackson been
alive and President, he would lave
hung the entire cabinet to preserve the
government. After an uninterrupted
pace OF half a century the nation was
practically bankrupt. Buchanan tried
10 sell its bonds at discount TO pay
bis salary. The republican party
found the government In this condi-
tion, carried IL through a war, such rs
the world had never before seen, and
surrendered it four year sgo with an
overfio wing treasury aud surplus.
such thing had never been known
during democratic administration.
To reduce this The demo Gratis started
TO tinker with the industries OF Mon
tara. Last fall we considered the
propriety Of accepting III s Iheory and
We concluded II was not wise 10 at
tempt ID reduce the surplus by Grip
pling every industry Montana held
sacred and reducing the wages Of labor
We ratified this conclusion BY giving
q majority Of over 1000 IN favor OF the
protection OF labor. The democratic
party have advocated free trade for
forty years; last year the people wben
brought squarely to the issue repudi-
ated IL, and now We have the remsrk-
able spectacle Of the Montana demo-
Gratis announcing in their platform
that they are now in favor Of the same
theory the republicans advocated last
year. II this is 80, why did they put a
ticket in the field? Why not ratify
and endorse the republican ticket II its
ideas are in unison with theirs? Mr..
Ca rter then reviewed in detail the
numberless hsrdshirs imposed upon
the people Of Montana by Sparks and
the Cleveland administration and
drew most ludricious picture of the
interior department as he found IL be-
for. the departure OF the democratic
administration, with indolent southern
clerks laying around smoking cob
pipes and doing nothing, while public
business was alling behind every day.
He urged the necessity Of going
into the U0ion rs a republican
state, so as 10 be In thorough
harmony with the administration. In
a few years there will be- an unusual
amount of legislation required for the
Development Of the state by irrigation
aud other ways and IL j. more than inn
roftsnt that We are in ace 'rd with the
administration. He then reviewed
The democratic claim for credit in re-
gard 20 admission Of Montana into the
Union, and proved by cold figures that
on the vote on the seLste amendment
TO the house bill, which was the cruc'al
test of rdnission. the vote stood for
admission l27 republicans, 90 demo-
crats and independent, while there
voted against admission l0l democrats,
independent and not one republican.
In this connection Mr.. Carter gave due
credit to MIR. Toole for bis labors In re-
gard 10 admission, out the democratic
party were not with him, and had it not
been for republican support, we would
still be without hope OF statehood. The
registration law and the Australian
system next received attention and
were most clearly explained and de-
Tended, as being solely 10 the interest OF
a pure ballot, which DO honest demo-
crat could deny. He also spoke Of the
necessity OF blot,ing out the Cheyenne
reservation in this comfy and gave as
his reason for not attempting to place
a republican agent 10 charge, that he
hoped In short time to get rid OF both
agency and agent at the same time.
The hour being close to train time it
became necessary for the speaker 10
close, which he did with short ex-
planation Of how to vote the Australian
ballot.
During the whole OF the speaking,
which occupied two hours and a half.
not a soul left the hall, aud the closest
attention was paid to every word that
was uttered. The meeting closed at
1880 aud the party Immediately ad.

night train for Billings, where they
will speak tonight.
