The semi-weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1890-1891, 1890-10-11

AT the meeting of the Golored voters
of Great Falls on Monday evening, open
hostility to Slippery Tom Carter was de-
veloped. The revolt was general and it
looks now as If Carter will not receive
half a dozen colored votes in the city.
Even such a stalwart republican as Chas.
Meeks was vigorous in his denun-
citation of the smooth congress
man and submitted clearly and
forcibly his reasons for not supporting
him. The colored men of this city are
intelligent and selt-reliant and they have
been watching the course of Carter in
congress. Among other things they find
that he voted with the majority of his
party in favor of %eXpunging from the
records the speech of Mi. Kennedy
of Ohio which was a vigorous defense Of
the rights of the colored man and a scorch-
ing denunciation of Boss Quay and his
political methods. Carter, with a major
ity of his party, voted to have this re
markable speech kept out of the record,
because forsooth, it. told some plain
truths about the chairman of The Iepupli-
can national committee. This single
vote of Carter's is sufficient to condemn
him among the colored men and they
paopose to show their independence and
manhood by rebuk,ng him at the polls.

THE B QUESTION.

The TRIBUNE is in entire sympathy
with the movement of the laborers to OBJ
tain al increase of wages. We will be
glad to see their efforts successful, for in
creased pay meal greater prosperity for
them and for the community generally.
But the %worklngman must be careful that
he is not mislead by crank a%gitators who
have nothing at stake.
Every step of the union should be care
fully considered before the final action
is taken. There are many considerations
which should be carefully weighed be-
fore a strike is ordered. The laborer and
employer should have no m%isunder-
standings. The TRIBUNE would be
pleased to see every man paid union
wages. But to inaugurate.a strike would
cause much loss and suffering.

Masons Alone Under the Ban,

CHICAGO, Oct. IA Cincinnati circu-
lar that created comment was read in the
Catholic churches yesterday throughout
the Covington diocese. 1t was in effect the
Odd Fellows, knights of Pythias, Knights
OF Honor and other secret societies, ex-
cept the Masonic order, are no longer
barred from the Catholic church. While
no explanation was given it is learned
That this was the principal topic discussed
at the council of bishops in Boston sever
al weeks ago. 1t was considered advis-
able, however, that as little publicity be
given the matter as possible, others to be
come educated to the fact gradually
through the pastors Of the churches.

Accidental Shooting.

ST. PAUL, Oct. IA Pioneer Press
Sioux Falls special says: A case of &C.
cidental shooting, resulting in death, &C.
Cured four miles west of here today.
Nate Kohn, a Hebrew of Lacrosse, Wis,
piano player IN a house Of p. ostitution in
the suburbs of Sioux Falls, went hunting
this morning in company with two te-
male inmates of the house. They had
two carriages, Kohn riding alone. He
held the gun between his knees
and across the left arm. The
carriage went into a shallow ditch,
causing Kuhn to throw his arm over the
muzzle of the gun. His knee discharged
the piece, the load tearing his arm al
most in two. Before he could be brought
to town he bled so much that he died
shortly after arrival.

PRECINCT 81.

The republican conspirators who raped
the virgin state of Montana last year have
sought in various ways to justify their
action in DISTINGUISHING 172 laboring men,
and duly qualified electors at Precinct "a,
but mainly upon the ground that in the
returns from that precinct the names OF
the voters were arranged in alphabetical
order. This, say the conspirators, is con
elusive evidence of the fact that the list
was made up by the judges to suit them
selves. as it is impossible the men IL
vote in that precise order. In the dis
cussion of the question in the United
States senate, more stress was laid on this
matter by the republicans than upon any
other phase of the question.
Now the alphabetical order" phase OF
the returns has been fully explained by
the democrats. but the republican press
insist on pointing to that arrangement as
conclusive evidence of fraud on the
part of the democrats. 1t is their
last resort and the one particular item
upon which they depend to defend the
y~illainy of Jack and Hall in throwing
out the returns from Precinct 81 and dis
franchising 112 laboring men who had
Just tue same right to vote and have their
votes counted as Sanders, Seligman OF
any of the conspirators. When all other
circumstances connected with the vote of
that precinct are satisfactorily explained
the republican organs cry out, how
aboutthe alphabetical order of the voters
This has been explained to the satisfac-
ton OF all falr-minded men. The judges
and clerks in making out their returns
presumed the list of names in alphabet
cal order would be most satisfactory, and
50 it was made out. But it appears that
precinct 81 is not the only Il where
this alphabetical arrangement was fol
lowed. Identicslly the same thing oc.
ours at precinct II -Meaderville the
republican stronghold of Silver Bow
county, and we submit herewith an
act copy of the returns, so far as the
names of the voters is concerned, of that
precinct. How beautifully the order is
maintained from A to q:

WOOLGROWERS WANT TO HEAR
HIM.

We notice that smooth Tom Carter has
made a proposition for a joint debate
with Judge Dixon, and whether or not
the latter sees fit to accept we cannot state,
but we regret to note in Slippery Toms
programme he only makes provision for
two speeches in northern Montana-one
at Great Falls and the other at Fort BEN
ton. This is not What we expected and
not whatthe wool men of this region de
munded. They want TO know from Tom
Carter why his promises of higher prices
for wool if the republicans were
successful PANIED out so disastrously
towit: An average loss of six cents IA
pound, compared with last years prices.
or of $4,000 on the 100000 pounds of
wool marketed at Great Falls. Now, Mr..
Carter can not meet this issue at Great
Falls or Benton. There are not a dozen
wool growers at both places. The latter
want to see him at Choteau, Dupuyer,
Belt, Stanford, Utica, Philbrook, ubet
and Lewistown, on the identical stumps
that he knowingly lied from in his smooth
way last year. They want a personal ex
PLANTATION and nothing else will satisfy
them. Campaign documents sent out by
the congressional committee, of which
Mr.. Carter is secretary, will not suffice.
They want to see that smooth gentleman
in person and u good many of them want
to tell him to his teeth that he is a liar
and a horsethief, Or words to that effect
Mr.. Carte. in his proposed programme
steers wholly clear of the sheep districts
and he probably knows what he is doing

Real Estate C~rookedness in Chicago,

CHICAGO, Oct. Mrs. Elizabeth Lipe
now a resident of Denver, and wife of a
former Chicago millionaire contractor,
Clarke Lipe, claims that property and
buildings owned by her in this city worth
$4,000 have been decided to another
party. The transaction, she alleges, was
made without her knowledge, although
what purports to be her signature ap-
pears on the deed. The man who is said
to have thus come into possession of the
valuable city property is Mrs. Lipe's own
son, Geo. II. Lipe. Through her at
torneys she filed a bill today asking that
the deeds be set aside and the title to the
property he cleared. The transfers were
made over a year ago and were only dis
covered upon the arrest Of Mrs. Lipe's
husband four days ago upon an old judg-

In his speech on the silver bill Carter
said: "With this bullion feature elm
mated, l am satisfied that within a brief
period of time after the bill becomes a
law, the ancient ratio between gold and
silver will be restored" Yes, silver is
today quoted at $1.1oH, while under the
free coinage bill which the senate passed
and the republicans of the house defeat
ed, silver would be worth $1.29, and
stand on a parity with cold, as 1t did from
the foundation of the government, until
it was demonetized by the republican
party in 1878.

The central committee is dong all in
their power, but the republicans are

Yes, the republicans are quiet. Many
of them will vote for Paris Gibson be-
cause they know it is to their interest and
the interest of Great Falls to do SO.
Others are disguised with the foolish at
tacks of the Leader on Mr.. Gibson and
still others refuse to follow the leader

quiet. There is not a feature or incident
of the campaign that would prompt them
to break the graveyard silence that OBJ.

ROLFE'S DICTA1ION.

Thus far the Leader has only replied to
the attacks of the TRIBUNE. We have
been patient almost beyond endurance,
but we do not belong to that class of re-
publicans who are owned by the First
National bank and Townsite company
and we will not be bullied or inundated.
A republican wishes US to "pitch into
the mugwump followers of Paris Gibson
who claim to be republicans; who have
held office as republicans and yet are
secretly working for Paris Gibson and for
a democratic United States senator. We
will not do this until we have proof. If
there is a republican so low, so mean, so
destitute of all principle as to adopt a
course like this he may never expect
anything from the republican party here

J. W. Hopkins Of Truly started from
the Great Northern stock yards yesterday
with twenty-four horses for the St. Louis
market. These animals are a fair sample
of Montana range horses and among the
number are several fine animals. Mr..
Hopkins has been engaged in raising
horses for many years and has achieved
eminent success in producing horses that
combine all the qualities OF a general
purpose animal. At the head of his herd
he has placed JEFF Clark, sired by Ma
poleon, a full blooded Norman, the dam
was a fine running mare by Lexington.
His herd also includes fine Belmont Ham
%bletonians, and other strains noted tor
speed and endurance, In selecting for
breeding purI oses Mr.. Hopkins tries to
develop the best qualities possible, and
the animals which he is taking Il market
now show that his judgment has been
excellent. :.

that prices have advanced from 10 to so
per cent, owing to the Mckinley tariff
bill. The people who buy these goods
will catch it. The dealers all the way

Now if the alphabetical arrangement

was sufficient ground upon which to
throw out that precinct and d%isfranchise

precinct thrown out Cor the same reason?

republican consplrators had determined to
rob the people of Montana of their rights
and secure the United States senators
by fair NEAR or foul, and by rejecting
the vote of Precinct "a this result was ac-
complished. Now that it is shown that
the vote of the principal republican pre-
cinct of Silver Bow county was in alpha
betlcai order, what further .tllmsy excuse
will lie offered by the conspirators and
