rebuke to the scurrilous assailant Of Col.

tion of the scoring which he would have

his customary tact and ability.
MIR. TooIE PRESENTED.
Mr.. Collins said the people Of this
vicinity have great respect and regard for
the two distinguished gentlemen who are
here this evening, and we'll they may
have. Our distinguished candidate for
governor has grown UP among us, he
cane to Montana a mere boy, has filled
position after position in his professional
life; has been in the Legislative assembly
Of Montana, has been in your constitu
tional convention; has represented you IN
the congress Of the United States; and
wherever he has been, he has performed
his duties faithfully and efficiently in
your interests. [Applause.] take great
pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, in intro
ducing to you the Hon. Joseph x. Toole.
Applause. s@
MI. Toole, who was received with
hearty applause, made an eloquent speech
on the questions of the day. The demo-
cratic party, he said, under, ] Jefferson gave
this vast domain to the nation; IT had in
vited people of all climes to settle there;
it had established liberal naturalization
laws and had thrown open the public
lands on easy terms, while 1t resisted the
gift Of such lands to corporations. 1t
will administer faithfully public affairs
if it is entrusted with such by the people
of Montana. [Applause.] In Montana
the democratic party has opposed the
subsidies which it was proposed to give
two railroads. 1t had resisted the eX-
trayarance Of the '89 Montana legislature
and he hoped the state would never see
such another, for without warrant it had
increased the salaries of public officials.
That Legislature was responsible for the
registration law, which would entail an
expense Of $150,OO0 on the state. La
voice-They would swamp us. Yes
they would bankrupt us.
Mr.. Toole showed that the democratic
party in congress had steadily demanded
statehood for Montana, hut President
then Senator Harrison, defeated the bill
on the fllmsy pretext that two should
not be admitted together. In the recen
congress-, the senate excluded New
Mexico because she is Democratic. TIL
democratic party were likewise the fir
friend of silver which the republican
had demonetized in 1878. The demo
cratic party was never so strong. 1t pre-
sents an unbroken front and is on tn
eve Of glorious victory. I4oud and pro
longed applause.l
Mr.. Toole then referred to the crlticisl
in former years which he took In goo
part. He had never manifested lack Q
interest but he lacked the power to d
what was asked. Later on he was able
be of service as might be judged by th
opening of the reservation and the exte1
sion of the Manitoba railroad which ma
done SO much for this city that has rise
like magic beside the broad Missoul
[Applause.]
