Powerful Expounding Of Republican
Principles.
Exposure Of Democratic
Degradation
Of American Labor, Enterprise and
National Prosperity.
Mr.. Power said: Ever since the con-
vention which nominated me for the Of
nee to which l aspire, have been busily
engaged, but now and then newspapers
have come to me which would make you
believe am an enemy Of this county.
While opposed its formation at the first,
ever since it has been created have done
all could to build it up. I have large
interests in Great Falls aud Sun River,
and if elected shall do all can for this
and all other counties.
Again: I have seen it stated that was
opposed to the Manitoba railroad. This
is wholly false. fully realized that we
must have this line and labored earnestly
for its building, both here and in Wash
ington. If am your governor, | shall
aim at prudent, honest and economical
administration.
Mr.. Richards said: 1t is not for me to
occupy much Of your time, but want to
say that did what could in the legis-
lative assembly for the formation of Cas-
cade county, and have always felt a
deep interest in your welfare; yes,
fatherly interest in everything that has
pertained to your prosperity. Now, for
the first time, we have before us candi-
dates as state, and we should pause and
reflect as we choose party utilization. We
are only at the beginning and have scarce
ly prospected our resources. Study his
| tory and you will see wherein republi-
can administration will best promote our
advancement material, social and moral.
Every thoughtful man must acknowledge
that all our interests declined under dem
ocratic control. Compare with me the
few short months in which repllblicanism
has been at the helm with Grover Cleve-
lands administration. Every interest has
felta new throb of life. If the rcpubli-
can party had no other principle than
protection. that is enough to endear it to
every citizen. We want to make this
country one for the people by the people,
and one in which every citizen shall not
lie inferior to those in authority. Last
fall our laborers said, tive will have pro
tection," and am proud to say that Mon
tana fell into line. The right fora a man
to vote as he pleases was given you by
the republican party. Now, let us say te
the democracy, you shall not destroy the
law which protects this inherent right
purchased by the blood of our fathers
Democratic speakers have said the regis
} tration law aud the Australian system are
iniquitous and shall be repealed. Fellow
: citizens, your franchise should be relig
iously protected. Every loyal republi
can should go to the polls and under nj
: pretext be swerved from voting straigh
t ticket. The already defeated democrac..
will try and secure the legislature. LIE
us send men who will elect republican
8 senators to Washington. Let us make
J clean sweep on Oct. 1st, and enjoy repub
lican prosperity.
Mr.. Weed said l see that judge Luc
: criticises me for taking an active part

the president who bestowed it.
Fellow citizens, this campaign is III
one between candidates alone. Benin
Toole and Maginnis stands the old ire

Nessrs. Toole and Magirnis claim TN
all Montana is, she owes it to the dem
cracy. These men are the most pollsh'
adopts at Misrepresentation.
The statement that President Harris
opposed Montana's admission, is anotf
, falsehood. lie simply maintained tt
Montana with smaller population shot
n not come in without Dakt ia. Let US
anime the vote on the resolution OF re
! 's9. Out of 14S votes in favor Of the r
olution, 127 were republicans, one lht
nendent and 20 democratic. In otl
words, out of 252 votes only 2G democr
were in its favor. These are matters
history; examine ye who will.
The tariff is the dividing line betwe
republicans and democrats. Free tri
means II cents pound for your w
and Mexican wages for your nine
Protection means 25 cents for your W
and $3 or 81 day for your miners.
Messrs. Toole and Maginnis say tt
have always been protectionists; but
lV telligent voters know that one year
w they were blatant, rampant free trade
One year ago Toole said: "What
need is free lead and plenty of it, \
now he denies that his party has e
been free trade party.
