man at the head OF the ticket.
The Importance Of securing good
men for every position upon our
ticket cannot be over estimated. Per-
sopal ambitions should be ignored.
II is important that delegates 70 the
state convention should be thinking
who they want for the positions Of
trust at their disposal. Let every
delegation come up to the conyen-

good men for every Office, but most
especially lot US have a man for The

unimpeachable character and unques-
tionable ability, but a man who is
also free from any entanglements
that will make his nomination an il-
dorsement Of any question not in
cluded in our seven demands. The
foregoing remarks we believe to
cover the subjects concerning which
inquiry has been made, and to fully
express our views in relation thereto.
With regard to candidates we would
add one word. We have no pets,
and no names to suggest for any posi-
ton. We shall be satisfied with good
men from any part Of the state. Lo-
cqIity will cut no figure, Let tbe
people exercise their choice and we
shall be satisfied, il they do not by
their nomination ask us to commit
ourselves to question Of public

Stacey is a liar by nature and this is

such conversation and no CONVERSE

between any representative Of The

liCan arguments Of this campaign.

doubtedly do receive their reward.

and Enthusiastically, we shall comply

process that its successive steps were
almost iinperceptible Ut the time, like
many others we dtiited with the cur
rent for many years, fully realizing
that something was wrong, but una
bic TO clearly discern the true cause
Of our trouble. Party prejudice ten
ded TO prevent such investigation as
was necessary TO arrive at correct
conclusions. Dissatisfied with exist
ing conditions, forced by the logic Of
events TO the conclusion that these
conditions were constantly growing
worse, we were at length aroused TO
such inquiry as we believe has led to
an understanding Of the causes that
underlie our present situation. 1t re-
quired no tFiAing struggle to aban-
don the political associations Of
lifetime Conscious, however that
vicious Legislation is entirely respon-
sible for the deplorable condition of
our industries and the rapidly in
creasing poverty Of our people, know
ing that Che existing parties have in
fIiCted that Legislation upon the Coun-
try in the darkest days Of its exis-
teuce, aud when the attention of the
people was diverted by the exciting
and all-sbsOrbing events of the war,
and the perils that succeeded It, and
being an eye witness 10 che indisposi-
tion of the parties to remedy the evils
for which they are responsible, have
been forced to 8Bahdon our former
political affiliations as the only CON
sistent course we could intelligently
pursue mm'rn lH.
Booking backward and reviewing
the growth and progress and prac-
tices Of parties, we cannot fail To dis
cover wherein the people themselves
are responsible for the evils with
which they are afflicted. Political
corruption has been regarded with
indifference and it's results accepted
without protest. Party fealty is re-
sponsible for il all. IL has been Gus

and their unscrupulous methods have
been ratified by the people at the
polls Such men promoted TO re-
spOnsible positions by such methods,
may be expected TO betray the inter
ests OF their constituents whenever
they find IL profitable 10 do 80.
Another practice that is largely re-
sponsible FOR the political evils Of the
past, and which merits seyerest con
demnation, is Che incorporation in
party platforms Of multitude Of
questions with no earthly purpose
but 10 catch votes These in many
instances are clothed in ambiguous
language, susceptible of different
interpretations to meet the necessi-
ties Of different localities. SO com
mon has this practice become that oil
have realized for many years that
party platforms were no indication OF
party policies. They are a mere
play upon words for political effect.
We are all conscious that these things
are true. We have known them for
10, these many years
Now we are at the very beginning
Of a new political movement. We
have taken no steps chat as yet com
NIT us to the follies Of our political
predecessors, We should profit by
their mistakes and avoid the causes
that haveled them into corruption and
that now threaten their overthrow.
Such are our views of the past and
the present. Our position with
reference to the future may be stated
as follows;
Our platform should be brief,
pointed and susceptible Of but one
Interpretation. 1t should contain no
proposition that we have not fully
determined shall be enacted into law.
We should make but few demands at
this time, and they should embrace
those questions concerning which
there is greatest present need of
Legislation questions involving pos
sibilities of most speedy relief to the
industries Of our country, and surest
promise Of the salvation of our homes
from the greed and avarice Of grasp
ing capitalists and corporations 1t
is not every question that is pressing
upon the attention Of the people that
should be incorporated into our first
platform. We are now standing in
the shadow OF a great peril. Every
passing day witnesses the turning Of
many families away from the doors
Of the homes for which they have
struggled and toiled during the best
years Of their lives. Labor rs idle
and tramps are multiplying. Starya-
tion and want lead to degradation
and crime. The one paramount
question which oveshadOws all
others and sinks them into insignii-
canoe by comparison at this time, is
the question OF homes for our people.
Shall we become a nation of serfs
The advocate., 1890-08-06

mand most immediate consideration.
Another essential element 70 sue
cess Of the peoples party is unity OF
thought and sentiment and purpose
No question should be incorporated
into our platform concerning which
our own membership differ in opinion.
United we stand; divided we fall.
The only hope Of the enemy is in our
division, and TO effect this they are
concentrating every effort Shall we
permit them to succeed7 II is with
in our power either 10 remain united
and triumph or 10 become divided
and suffer defeat. The means are in
our own hands. What shall be our
choice7
The seven demands Of the ST.
Louis council were promulgated in
December, 1889. There has been am
pie time for their examination by the
people. They have been distributed |
east, west north and south, have been
read aud re-read and made the sub
iect of meditation and discussion at
every freside in the land. They !
have been ratified by every sub-alli-
ance, Grange, Farmers Mutual Bene-
fit Association and Knights OF Labor
assembly in every part Of the Coun-
try. There is practically but one
opinion concerning them. No politi-
cal party has ever gone before the
people in any contest upon "a plat
form that has received the previous
endorsement Of the people that this
has received. III we decide to stand
upon this platform and to ignore for
the time being every other issue we
cannot be divided. We have declared
our adhesion to the platform in ad-
vance. Our enemies kilOSU they can
not divide us on any of these ques-
tiOns, and hence they are moving
Heaven and earth to inject others in
to our canvas against our will. Let
us SEQ 10 it that they most ignOmini-
ously fail
The principles OF the ST Louis de
mands enacted into law will bring re-
lief TO the crippled industries Of the
country, arrest the devastation Of
homes, give employment to labor in
sure fair prices for our products, feed
the hungry, OlOthe the naked, dimin-
ish crime by removing it's most
powerful incentive, and bring joy and
gladness to hearts now in despair,
Let us have the ST. Louis platform
and that alone. No other issue, how
ever important in itself, should be
permitted to afford a precedent for
enlargement in any other direction
Right here is another danger that
must not be overlooked or forgotten.

FOUR FIENDS HUNG
Four Indian Fiends Hung on
the Same ScaffOld in
MissOula.
They All Meet Death With the
St0ical Indifference of
Red Men.

MIssouLA. Mont, Special Telegram, Dec.
N.-Onc OF the most noted hangings whicl,
ever occurred in the Northwest took place
In the yard of the Jail here to-day, when
Pierre Paul, LII Lasec, Pascalc and Antlcy,
four noted Indian Murderers, were Launched
into eternity.
During the night the condemned men
slept but little. To the death watch they
told OF their innocence, and not till the
ecafiold was reached did either ack no " ledge
guilt.
During the morning they were offered
spiritual comfort by the priests. When the
four were placed on the scafTold. Pierre
Paul and Antlcy bore smiling faces. Before
the cups were drawn over their faces, Pierre
Paul and Pascale stated they were ready to
die: they we're bad men aud were ready for
punishment. Pierre Paul told the CHIEFS
who were present to tell the Indians oil the
reservation that he died like man, and he
hoped other Indians would not he bad like
him. To the attorney who defended him
he shouted "Good.by."
Just ut lO:45 the trap was sprung, the four
men dropped, and in eighteen minutes
were pronounced dead by the doctors. the
necks Of all being broken. The bodies
were placed in cottins, and were taken in
charge OF by Agent Roman. ofthe FlatheaI
reservation. at which place they will be
buried.
Nearly every sheriff in Montana was
present. This was the second legal hang
ing ever in Missoula county. the first tax.
ing place in 1883, Chinaman being the
victim.
1t was anticipated there would be trouble
to-day over the hanging. threats having
been made by some Indian friends Of the
murdercrs. but aside from Chiefs Joseph.
Patrice, kacaskce aud two other chiefs not
q dozen Indians were in town.
The troublesome element which for years
terrorized the settlers. miners and pros.
pectors of Western Montana is now &c.
moved, and the Indians as well as the
whites are rejoicing.

Christmas Games.

II you are to entertain Il large cir
Gle OF young folks of all ages ut
Christmas, it will be well to provide
yourself beforehand with IL list of
amusing games.
"Fling the Towel" Let the COM
pany form q circle, with one OF the
players in the center. One member
of the circle then filings large towel,
aiming to hit some other member.
If the player in the middle is adroit
enough to intercept it and catches
the towel on its way across the ring,
he takes the place OF the one who
threw it, who then takes his stand in
the middle. II it hits the one at
whom it is aimed, lie must try to get
rid of it by throwing it to another
player before the one stationed in
the middle can cp.tch it.
Tho game of "Sunta Claus" which
is not unlike that called "Donkey,"
is great fun. Tack upon the wall u
big white sheet. Maken lnrge paper
Santa Claus; cut off his head, his
feet, his arms, legs and pack; cut
OFT his ears and dnose; ;cut out his eyes,
and paste his body on the sheet.
Blindfold each player and give him
n portion of the Suint's anatomy,
and let him place it where he thinks
it should go. You can have IL bit
of dried mlclage on the backs of
these bits OF paper, 80 that they can
he moistencd and stuck to the body.
He generally turns out IL most pcc,l-
liar looking saint with one eve on
his heel, another on his thumb, his
head where his feet should he, and
nothing in the right place. You cnn
haze two simple prizes-one for the
person who comes nearest being
right in the placing of some member,
and BOBBY prize for the inrthest
| out of the way. We have seen u
whole roomtul of grown people con-
vulscd with merrimcnt overllis game.
Gossip" is amusement Tor the
older ones. All sit in u circle. One
communicates IL piece OF gossip
about some person in the room, who
proceeds to tell it to the one next.
and so it goes OH until the last one
is to repeat aloud just what he
hears, and the starter gives tho
original {, snts sentence &c; IT. They % are general
gossip started nJ a sewing circle is
from the snnc piece OF news when it
has made the village rounds.
"Mctamorphosis:" Let each men,-
Der OF the company he furnished with
u sheet of paper and u pencil Let
him draw mt the top of the sheet the
head OF some bird, beast, fish, or
human being, and fold down the
sheet so as to leave nothing exposed
except lines to show on what part of
the paper the body is to he placed.
lie then passes it to his next neigh
bor, who draws on it IL body to suit
his own fancy. 1t is then folded and
passed to the next. WHO must draw
legs, two or four. When the papers
are examined, some very curious
monsters, unknown to natural his
tory, are displayed.
"Apprentice" is not too intellect
ual for the little ones. One OF the
players begins by saying, II have
npprenticed my son to II butcher"
or dry-goods merchant, or to any
tradesman, and gives the initial Of
the first thing Ills son soiu Tine
rest must guess what the article sold
was, md the one who g,lcsses right
must then "prentice" his son.
