NEW ATATE~' ELECTIONS.

Tribune, comes from Washington
that there is more or less anxiei,
among the Republican politicians 0
the East coDcei ming the possible re
suit oil tie elections in the new
States, and that plan of campaign
is heing mature for Montana es-
pecially. There might just AS well
be an understanding 81 the matter
at once. The phenomenal Repub-
lican gains in Western Territories
last Fall were due to two causes.
The tariff VAS one the vague proRs-
Use in favor OF silver i'm the Repub-
aican platform was another. Ii the
Administration were to arouse itse' 4 :
make a legal rnIing on the question
OF importing lead ores and buy and
coin the silver which the law per-
mits, and which tie wants of the
people make inn erative, no plan Of
camraign would be necessary in
Washington or Montana. The cam
paign would run itself without any
thing being done. The Republican
chiefs may come from the East,
bring their money and their brains
along and make just as stormy a
campaign As they please, and its re
suit will be that the people will fol-
low their natural political proclvi-
vities and vote their party ticket.
This i'm Montana will elect the DEM
ocraiic Congressman and Lsgisla-
ture which will elect two Democratic
Senators. How 1t will be in Wash
lnglon we are not we'll enough
posted on the immigration that has
gone in there during the past two
years to predict. In general terms,
President Cleveland was repudiated
in the West last Autumn more be-
cause OF his position on silver and
lead than for all other causes com
bined. If President Harrison pleas
es tc follow IN the same groove, he,
too. i'm turn and his pa,ty will be-
Just as viyoi ously repudiAted, for
the men o. the West believe that
there is not a Congressional District
in the Union, outside of New York |
City, that would not, if it had the
opportunity, vote Tor the rehonetz
alton OF silver, and if against this
sentiment any administration, be 1t
Republican or Democratic, persist
2ntly follows the beck of the Harp
les that on Wall street trade in the
life blood OF the workers of the
that administration the
West will repudiare. This year the
silver miners will lose about $12,
900 600 because of the law OF 1873.
The men who till the fields of the
East will lose twenty five tunes that
amount because of it, hence the de-
mand Of the West is not selfish
. e. One would think that even
the Wall street slIarpers would drop |
upon the facts and waat to change
the present course OF things.
In the far West, that is, from |
the Hockey Mountains to the
Pacific, our industries nearer bal
ance themselves. Mountains in
terpose tariffs that protect farmers,
and the mining industry gives a
ma ket. The East may cease to
ascribe sinister and dishonest
motives to the West, ana may |
look to itself; may mark the path
which its woI kers and producers
have been descending for sixteen
years, and then may determine
10 enahle Its interest
gaiherrrs to collect their regular
interest and keep the debts oil the
perpetual at the same
time, is a something SO desirable
that to preserve it the masses shall
be rlined. But henceforth the
West will never again cast a vote
or man or a patty that refused
Justice to the silver dollar.
