i'll Cascade County.
The Spirits Of the Patriotic Fathers
Again with Us.
Dinna Ye Hear the Slogan? Let us
Have Protection and Peace!
Down with the Heresies Of Free
Trade and it's Accessory, War!
The first republican mass meeting in
Cascade county--the opening ball of the
State campaign-was held in the capac-
ious dining hall Of the Park hotel last
evening.
Hon. II. p. Rolfe was called to the
chair. Judge W. H. Race, chairman of
the county central committee, and num-
Der Of other leading republicans were on
the stand.
After music by the band, Judge Rolfe
opened the meeting by few we'll chosen
remarks. He said that the democratic
party boasted Of having maintained the
supremacy in Montana for twenty years;
but that supremacy had been maintained
by the most unmitigated tissue of fraud,
illegal voting. perjury and infamy known
to the history Of this country.
When election frauds in Montana are
suppressed, it will be the death-knell Of
the democratic party here; and that they
know full we'll, when they cry out against
the registration and Australian voting
laws, the only known methods for secur-
ing pure ballot.
Vote the straight republican ticket. If
you do this, we shall have the pleasure of
rolling up for Thomas II. Carter and the
republican ticket a grand nlajority-a
host to stand up for republicanism and
protection to American labor.
Amid great enthusiasm, mingled with
the sweet strains from the band, the gal
liant and talented orator. Col. I. D. Nc
Cutcheon advanced to the stand and was
introduced to the audience. The colonel
said he would speak but few words and
then give way to the "Old Man Eloquent
the grand warhorsc Of the republican
hosts-Col. Wilbur T. Sanders.
The democratic party, he said, had re
fused to discuss any principles, and fol
the very good reason that they have none
to discuss. 1t is not a party of principles
1t is party of pretences. The present is
with them purely personal campaign

Mr.. Maginnis, "I did il" if any good thin'
is claimed to have been done by th'
party. If any bad thing is charged
against them, Toole will say, 'you did it,
and Maginnis will say, "you did it." H
criticised some of the remarks made b.
Mr.. Toole last night. Mr.. Toole said tina
President Harrison, two years ago, wa
opposed to and prevented the admissio
of Montana into the Union. If that wa
, true, then Benjamin Harrison had NOR
power than the whole congress Of tn
'' United States. It is not true, howeve
but is wholly and notoriously false.
Montana never had better friends |
congress or out of it than Benjamin Ha
rison and James G.. Blaine. Nothing WI
ever asked for Montana at that time th
I was not granted, SO far as the influence
l these two magnificent representative
of the craftsmanship Of the American +
public could attain it.
Mr.. Maginnis says that he wants to
to congress, and what for? Are there al
good reasons in existence why Mart
Maginnis should now be sent to rep1

Mr.. Toole's speech, he said, as report

know; but he would vouch for it that
- ~ ten inches was sufficient space to cont
