Years ago when Henry Grady
was struggling to bring The Rome
commercial INTO front ranks, say,
The Rome (Ga.) Tribune, he called
one day aud asked the Rpunsa willie
BrplherS for an advertisement. j.
w. RounsavilIe replied {: "Why'
Grady, nobody reads your paper:
it is no use 10 advertise III IT," A
happy thought suggested itself 10
Mr.. Grady. lie went 10 the office
and wrote the following advertise
ment, which appeared next morn
ing in the Commercial: "Wanted.
fifty cats. Liberal prices for the
same. Apply al Rounsaville Bros"
Well, the picture that presented
itself AZ RounSaville's corner next
morning beggars description. Boys
OF all sizes-boys Of all TINS from
The ialr-headed youth TO the sable
EIhiOpian-bare-foOt boys and

OF every description, name and or,

short, the Rounsavilles told
Mr.. Grady TO reserve a column for

paper continued /: and that was
what Grady wanted.

1T WAS OVER CONFIDENCE.

Commodore Power Says tho Democrats
Worked, and the Commodore IL Right.
Mr.. Thomas c. Power was about The
Helena hotel last evening looking as chip.
per a. if he had been nowhere around
when the earthquake took place. Even the
presence of the successful candidate fol
congress and the ingoing and outcomine
streams of exulting democrats did not ope-
rate to drive the smile from his face.
When asked by an INDEPENDENT reporter
what he thought of the result of the cleo
ton, Mr.. Power replied: 1T is very close,
and think it will take the official count to
decide.''
"Now how do you account for the re-
versal Of the republican majority of last
year?"
II account for it by the fact that the
democrats were active and earnest, and
went to work. The republicans did not.
They were confident, and thought Carter
was all right anyhow. They did not get
out their full vote by any means
what about the result IN the country at
largew
''Oh. looked for the next house to be
democratic. Most republicans did. It
generally happens that way after presi-
Dental election. But I think it will help
US in 1892. It will divide the responsibility
in the next congress, and give the people a
chance to zee which is the positive and
which the negative party, or which ia the
negative and which the positive"

ply to question as to the causes, II think
the tariff had great deal to do with it,

tent when she falls behind. To be sure the
congress is not ended, but the short session
rarely yields many benefits. Besides the
general apathy felt towards the republican
party was the local disgust at the theft of
the state last autumn. The democrats, at
least. were moven to extra efforts by the
desire to rebuke that crime. Many repub-
licans were disguised. This showed as
much in the registration as in the voting.
Hundreds of republicans gave me this req
son for abstaining from any participation
in the election this fall. They were not
prepared to vote our ticket. so they simply
did not register. Mr.. Carter was not con-
csrned in that robbery. He beat me fairly
by large majority. I. !. had only been by
one would have respected it. For q while
he was quoted against it, but he endorsed
and sustained it and had to carry it. The
most popular and, in q sense, the most
duced--even he fell under the load. The
state is to be congratulated. The result
will raise her in the estimation of the
nation. Il is an assurance that her moral
standard is sufficiently high, her political
conscience sufficiently sensitive, to draw the
line between politics and crime"

NOTHING TO SAY.

But MIR. Carter VIII Endeavor to Get {
Public Building for Helena.
THE INDEPENDENT representative started
up the hill in quest of Congressman
Thomas II. Carter. Forebodings of 4
cordial greeting but poor success at obtain
ing an expression of the distinguished gen
tleman's views upon the causes of his de-
feat presented themselves, and in neither
respect was the scribe disappointed. Mr.
pleasantly received the reporter.
'Mr. Carter. The INDEPENDENT would BIZ
pleased to print your views upon the causes
which led to the result in Montana"
"Well. really" he hesitatingly replied. II
have no observations to make. / shall &c
back to Washington to finish up my work
during the remaining part of the session,
and, he smilingly added, Twill do all can
to get p1blic building for Helena and for
Butte"
do you give up the election?''
Il have no observations to make" he re-
peated, when the reporter took his depart
ure.
1t is not easy to determine just how Mr..
Carter takes his defeat. 1t is not reasona.
BILE to suppose, however, that he takes it
very pleasantly. 10 his friends he has
maintained that he was misrepresented and
that the burden Of tho battle was thrown
upon his own shoulders; principally the
financial burden. He has said that he is
out of politics; he was dragged into 1t and
from the first never aspired to political
honors. He says he prefers practicing law
to enduring the strain of political life and
altogether he feels though he had received
hard deal.

HON. SAM WORDS VIEWS.

He Recites Three POtont Reasons for tho
Democratic Victory.
Hon. Samuel Word was found at his
palatial home on the west side in big arm
chair buried in Giovanni Verga's work 'The
House by the Medlar Tree" while his
youngest daughter, Miss May, was at the
piano.
''Mr. Word, The INDEPENDENT would like
to print your views on the causes which led
to Mr.. Carter's defeat"
GAN right. sir" cheerily replied Mr..
Word; sit is clear to me that the causes
which led to the defeat of the republican
candidate for congress in this state at the
late election are:
':First-As the peoples representative he
betrayed their interests on the floor Of the
house. He failed to redeem his promise to
the people to support the movement in
favor of free coinage. When the free coin
age bill had passed the senate and reached
the house and its enemies were organizing
for its overthrow, its friends admonished
representatives from silver states that q
fatal stab was aimed at the measure. Mon
ment, when he should have been at the
front battling for measure of such great
moment to his people, was hunting for
some man to pair with ON that bill.
HE found free coinage man to pair with
and did pair with him knowing him to be
such at the time he paired with him. Mr..
Carter could not conceal his crime from the
people, much less could he satisfactorily
explain it to them. It would seem that he
had early in the session bartered away the
paramount interests of his constituency
for the paltry position of chairman Of the
committee on mines and mining. At least
such is the popular belief. So strong did
this opinion rest in the minds of many re-
publicans of the state that nothing could
persuade them to support him for re-elec-
ton.
'Second-The recollection of the infam-
Gus and outrageous fraud upon the rights
Of freemen, inaugurated by Sanders, Hersh-
| field and others, and carried out by Jack,
| Hall, Blake, White and Walker in gross
| violation of all Law and common decency,
| by which two men were sent to the United
States senate to represent the people, neither
of whom could possibly be elected to any
| Office in any county in the state by vote OF
| the people. The recollection of these things
influenced many honest and conservative
| republicans IN this election.
"Third-Apprehension entertained by som,
men who otherwise might have voted fol
Carter, as to probable results Of the AcKin
10y bill which Mr.. Carter 60 vheerfully sup.
ported led them to reject his claims for
reelection. The people in Montana, as al
over the union, want reform of the TART
laws, and they intend to have il. In tn
future, lees taxes. less burdens, will be tn
cry, and whoeoever confronts the people il
favor Of such measures a. the NcKinle,
bill will be oncermoniously sat upon"

TOO MANY DEMOCRATS.

How Attorney-General Haskell Accounts
for the Result.
Attorney General Haskell arrived IN Hell
ena yesterday from Glendive. where he had
been trying to stem the swelling demo-
cratic tide. He bobbed up smilingly, con-
sidering the adverse circumstances, and the
first thing he fell across was lot of letters
from different counties asking his official
opinion about questions affecting the regis
tration and election laws. They will be
saved up for future occasion. The attor-
generals opinion on the causes which
brought about the result on Tuesday il
briefer than his shortest official expression.
He says there were too many democratic
votes in the box"

WHAT COL. BRoADwATER SAYS.

Mr.. Carter's Mistakes and Anxiety to Re-
sent = Wrong We're the Causes.
Col. g. A. Broadwater was found playing
with his little daughter Wilder, when The
INDEPENDENT reporter called at his residence
for an interview. Replying to the query as
to the causes. etc.. Mr.. Broadwater said:
Republican defeat is due to the general dis
satisfaction with the policy of the republic
can party with particular reference to the
Mckinley bill, its antagonism to free coin
age and Its advocacy of the force bill. The
thought that the party in power would pass
such bill, which il wholly un-American,
caused their downfall.
"And the people at large want free coin
age. Silver is the peoples money. Through
out the west. and particularly in Montana,
issue. need only cite the result of the
election at Philipsburg and Granite. They
are tho republican hotbeds of Montana;
they are large silver-producing people
and nothing will satisfy them short Of free
coinage.
"Then there are other causes. Mr.. Carter
was knitted in his own camp, by his own
party and by his friends. Another cause
and one of the principal ones was, that the
democrats of Montana felt sore at the un-
satisfactory outcome of the last election
which they fairly won but were counted out.
AAAOy SAOuS~S eACy xA0N law OOCAA LARRY
dealt with and the feeling of resentment
that came over them was 80 strong as to
prompt them to vigorous warfare for vindi-
cation. We were aggressive from the turn
loose; We outregistered and outworked them
at every quarter. We were organized and
united and kept them on the defensive
from the very start, and outworked them
on election day; and the more we worked
the stronger grew our feeling for resent
ment.
| II think Mr.. Carter was unfortunate in
so prominently and closely Identifying him.
self with Speaker Reed in his extreme
measures. Mr.. Carter had the ability and
tact to make himself popular with any
legislative body. He would have done bet
ter If he had taken more moderate course.
If he had stood more closely with the con-
sentative element of his party don't think
he could have been beaten. He will always
be strong force in his party if he so
chooses. Among his other mistakes was
accepting the craftsmanship of the mining
committee. which pledged him to the policy
of the extremists in his party. Had he held
aloof from these allurements and stood out
for the interests of his state before any
thing else he would come home a hero, but
he did not and there you have it in a nut

IT Is SELF EVIDENT.

Ex-Gov. Hauser Says Czarism and the Nc
Kinley Bill Did 1t.
II think it is self evident" replied ex-
Gov. Hauser to an inquiry as to the cause
which resulted in the sweeping democratic
victory throughout the entire country on
last Tuesday. "Czarism and the Mckinley
bill did it. The farmers finally woke up to
their true interests and stood in with the
party that has been working for them.
Yes. Carter's silver record was great fac
tor in causing his defeat. Added to this
was the further burden of defending the
Mckinley bill. He had more than he could
do in carrying that silver record Of his
around and trying to make the voters be-
lieve that he was in favor of free coinage"
The governor is greatly pleased with the
way things have gone. He buried himself
in his paper and commented on the demo-
cratic gains in the different congressional
districts in the various states, and smiled a
broad smile of content as the reporter left
him before the CHEEKY fire in his library.
