same time he did last fall. 1t was "vote

cor die.s No man had q right to vote the
Democratic ticket in Mr.. Carriers opinion:
The speaker said that In this respect OF
rabid hostility to everything Democratic,
Mr.. Carter seemed to have adopted the
opinion Of William g. Brownlow, that the
only rights Democrats possessed wa the
constitutional right to be hung and the
moral right to be damned. Mr.. Carter a
told the people q lot Of eophistries last fall
Ia reference to wool and lead and silver,
Init the situation az to those commodities
today was very far from bearing him out.
The sneaker then exposed the falsehoods
M. Cartec il circulating as tn the attitude
Of the Democratic party in the territory on
several subjects. First that the party was
opposed to registration. This he lndig-
nantly denied and pointed to the Demo.
cratic platform where it is distinctly set
forth that the party is opposed, not 20

practically disfranchised a large number OF
the citizens OF Montana. He i~nstanced

were compelled by the present system to
travel a hundred miles to register. 1t was
q good provision in cities and large CEN
ters OF population, but OF what earthly use
was it in communities where every one
knew his neighbors as well as he liz the
members OF his own family. He enlarged
particularly on the clear cut distinction to
be made in this matter between the benefit
Of maintaining tie purity OF the oaiiot
by placing every safeguard around 1t IN
cities, which were utterly Unnecessary and
became q hardship In the sparsely settled
districts.
The Australian" system OF voting was
| the subject of another Misrepresentation
| OF the Democratic party by MIR. Carter,
| and the speaker effsctually disposed OF the
falsehood iu q few ringing sentences that
met with enthusiastic applause from the
audience. The speaker then showed that
| the Democratic party stood on this ques-
| ton where it had always stood, champion
ing the cause of the masses against ths
| classes.
The attitude OF the Democratic party on
the subject OF the admission OF Montana
into the union was then discussed at length
and Mr.. Carter's connection with it shown
UP in anything but af~avorablel light to that
gentleman. The tissue OF falsehoods with
which the Republicans attempted to bolster
up their action in keeping Montana out oil
the union two years ago was completely
refuted from the facts Of history. Their
double dealing in reference to New Mexico
their readiness to take it into the Union
when Stephen B. Elkins thought he had it
solid for the Republicans in 1875, and at
the last session refusing to admit it on the
ground that it was Mexicanized, having
since become Democratie-was unsparingly
satirized.
Free lead then came in Tor the speakers
attention, n it was u~nequivocally proven
that Secretary Fairchild's construction OF
the revenue Law was simply in the wake OF
Republican precedent established by John
Sherman, and that in spite OF the efforts
| of Henry Wolcott and other western gen.
tlemen including Thomas Henry Carter
himself. the present secretary OF the treas
ury, Window, refused to change that
ruling.
The speaker exposed another of Mr..
Carter's sophistries that the Republican
party Was the friend of labor by showing
how a Republican congress took off the
tax on bond.holders' incomes and
put it on the workingmen's
necessaries of life. He ridiculed

in the country for the Republican party and
and placed it's record before the audience
in disproof, ~instancing the salary grab, the
star route frauds, the Credit Mobilier, the
whiskey ring and other colossal frauds as
the fruits OF Republicanism.
A voice in the audience asked how about
Secretafy Webb who was arrested in Hell
ena the other day, and the speaker replied
that everybody knew how the Republicans
could get up u sensation about election
times, and in this connection convplsed his
audience with one OF his characteristic
anecdotes, the moral OF which was that
now as ever the Republican party was up
to the same old tricks and backing them
by the same old lies which they had been
at for twenty-five years.
He then mad an earnest and sensible
comparison OF the men at the head OF the
two state tickets. The plain and unpre-
JUDGED method OF his presentation told
immensely in favor OF Messrs. Toole and
Maginnis' and evoked much enthusiasm.
He put in o good word for himself with a
manly modesty that won the respect and
admiration OF all and concluded by appeal
ing to his hearers to support the Demo-
cratic ticket as that of the party which
had given them the land OF Montana, part
OF the domain bought by Thomas Jeffer-
son, the most splendid heritage a people
ever received from any party in any
country. Immense applause frequently in
terrupted the eloquent speaker whose ad-
dress was full of witty home thrusts and
humorous apecdote that told effectively.
The band then played another selection
and Mr.. O'Brisn was introduced and adj
dressed the audience.

He, like all true Democrats, raised his
voice in pronunciation OF Democratic prin.
ciples. Ths questions before the people |
were OF the most vital importance. 1t had
been the policy Of the Republican party
since it's inception, to be the party OF grand
and broken promises, and now again it had
come before the people to ask for their
suffrage, insulting the Intelligence OF honest. |
