The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1889-09-17

reputable daily which the republicans
Of Butte tolerate. although loudly pro-
Tossing their utter contempt for it's
methods
Let this much, however, lie dis
tinctly understood: No circular or
pamphlet remotely related To
the matters mentioned by the
IMter Mownf0iR was ever printed
or proposed by the democratic central
committee. No such assault on Mr..
Power was ever ever so much as sug-
gested. The Inter Mountain distinctly
lies when 1t says that, by authoritative
dispatch from. Helena ar otherwise. IL
had information of any such circular.
No circular of kindred import will Ike
printed and distributed during this can
vass. unless il le done by the authority
of the Inter Mountain itself: and We
raise no question whatever as
to the Inter Mount0in's Willingness
to lend itself and it's composing room
tn just uch IA plot. II in "a strange
combination of circumstances, indeed,
that compels any newspaper tn defend
Mr.. Daly. MIR. Hughes n Judge
Stapleton against the assaults of "a ly-
ing and disreputable press. yet the gem
tlemen ask il, lest n voter i'm the ter
ritOry should suspect them Of compile
ity i'm the outrage which the Inter
Mountain charges.
This newspaper entertains no doubt
that the assault made yesterday I'm the
Butte Inter Mountain was deliberately
planned by Mr.. Lee Mantle In order to
harm Mr.. Power i'm his canvass. 1t in
i'm the plans of the Carter wing of the
party to destroy Mr.. Power at any cost,
and we do not for a question
the readiness Of Mr.. Mantle and his
newspaper tn go into some such
scheme, however closely it Dor
ders on Matchmaking: nor do we ques-
ton the Judgment of the community,
i'm all that concerns decent political
methods, tn choose between Mr.. DAILY
with his associates and Mr.. Mantle
with his Inter Mountain.
Putting all other ISSUES aside. the
STANDARD proposes to remain to n
end of this canvass with the personal
issues raised yesterday. We declare that
the Inter Mountain had no authority
for its assertions. They were indefen-
sible falsehOOds from first to last and
we believe the Inter Mountain knew il
when il framed them. We call on that
newspaper to make its unwarrantable
assault good ar tn defend it. to recall
it's cowardly epitlets ar prove that
they are merited, "a show that Mr..
DAILY. Mr.. Hughes and Judge S~tapletOn
are the scOundrels they are heralded to
be ar make the apologies due o.dectnt
gentlemen.
We are not unmindful of the crawl
ing compliments by which the Butte
Inter Mountain seeks tn cOuciliate Mr..
Daly. i'm an editorial which follows the
Sinking epithets with which it assails
him. II must disgust any reputable
man to be the object Of "a prostitutes
compliments; it must insult any man
To he made the object of pleas

in it's purpose. ~ contemplate in it's
methods and 80 outrageous i'm the de-
liberation of its false testimony as the
Butte fnfeT Mountain has proven itself
to be.
