At the ratification meeting in Helena
Tuesday evening, Hon. W. W. Dixon
spoke IN a very pleasing and entertaining
manner de%preciating the euloglstic re-
marks to which he had been forced to
listen, and said he feared he would fall
far short of the expectations of his friends.
However, he was in the fight and would
remain there to the end. Judge Dixon,
after referring to the tariff, said he
thought he could demonstrate that a high
tariff was the creates: steal ever devised,
as we'll as the fallacy that the laboring
mans welfare depended on the high
tariff. 1t wa the principle of taking
from the many to give to the few. This
matter will be discussed more fully later.
In referring to the silver issue he said:
at is not difficult to demonstrate by
history and figures TINT the democratic
Legislators of congress were friends OF
| silver. Whatever has been obtained has
been the result of their efforts. There
are other issues. The general character
and acts of the republican party, the
r.cklessness with which it has disposed
of public funds; its attempt to defeat
free elections by the so-called force
bill. Then again, we want to discuss
the matter of the election of last October.
1t has become IL national issue. Even
some of the states have made mention OF
it in the democratic platforms. want

and Judge Mcconnell, who went through

believe the majority of the republican
party would rather have two democratic
senators in the senate and have the dis
grace wiped out. 1t is IA matter of nationa
importance. 1t is a matter OF how oul
elections shall be conducted and whether
honest votes shall be honestly counted

THE NEW REPUBLICAN, LEADER.

A complete change of leadership in the
republican party in Cascade county has
taken place and the fact has been made
Extensively noticeable in the primaries, in
the convention and in the organ of the
new leader-Herbert P. Rolfe.
1t is only a short time ago since the
party leaders and workers here insisted MS
the first thing essential In the campaign
that Rolfe should be held in the back
ground and have absolutely nothing 10
do with party organization or the work
of the campaign. His universal unpopu-
larity and his penchant to say and do the
wrong thing at the wrong time, naturally
lead up to this result,
But this retirement did not suit Rolfe.
The fact that his distinguished kinsman,
Sanders, succeeded by fraud in breaking
into the senate, kindled anew his political
ambition, and wit, his personal organ at
his back, he resolved to take the lead in
this campaign.
To this end he brought out Hanks and
was his chief spokesman before the pri-
maries and convention. The old leaders
had but little to say in the premises.
Some of them sought TO attend the first
ward primary, and although they were
on hand a few minutes after the hour
named, found that the Rolfe-H Hanks
crowd had fixed things to suit them
selves and adjourned. In the county con-
vention, Rolfe sought to run everything,
and at least so far as the nomination WIS
concerned, succeeded.
Whatever the old line republicans who
gave literally of their time and labor in
past campaigns may think of it, the dem
ocrats look with great complacency upon
this new republican leadership. Judging
by what has come to pass already. and
the policy OF the personal organ. it means
that Cascade county will give II good
round democratic majority In November.

AN ENEMY OF GREAT FAILS.

The fact IL well known to the readers
of the TRIBUNE that Thos. H. Carter is
and has been a steadfast enemy of Great
Falls. The record proves this assertion
beyond n doubt.
At the beginning of the present session
of congress, this city, through Its board
of trade, set forth its claim to a United
States land office and its request was
strongly intrenched in right and justice.
All possible personal and political influ
ence was brought to bear upon the sly
and slippery congressman, but..it avails d
nothing. He fell right in with Tommy
Power and advocated and secured the
passage of a bill establishing a land office
at the %latter's town of Lewistown, looking
to the location of another land office at
Chinook, where Power has also large III
terests, From the beginning Carter OPP
posed giving Great Falls a land Office and
instead even preferred to make Benton
the headquarters of the proposed new
land district. In a letter on the sui.
ject to H. p. Rolfe, who was acting for
the board of trade, he had the in
science to remind the present re-
publican leader of Cascade county that
he must remember there are other towns
IN Northern Montana besides Great FALL!
Even when the RDlfe- Hanks hippodrome
went to Washington expecting to bring IL
land office home in their pockets land u
commission for Rolfe as register) they
received net the least encouragement and
found Tommy Power and Tommy Carter
as firm as ever in their determination to
do nothing for Great Falls.
The construction of the Great Falls g.
Canada railroad with this city as its
southern terminus and principal bust
ness point rendered it desirable and al
most a necessity that the customs head
quarters should he removed from Benton
to this place. Mr.. Carter was appealed to
to bring about tins result. but of course
no attention was paid to this reasonable
request. Tom Power being largely inter
ested ut Benton. Carter again stood in
with him and the only action taken was
the introduction IN the house of a bill fer
the erection of IL public building ut
Benton.
The postofice situation here, where a
city Of 5000 people has Office facilities
and postal accomn odations barely sutti-
cient for II town of 800, has never troubled
MI. Carter in the least. II any other
town in the state had as miserable post
Office facilities, it is safe to say the de-
partment would have heard from Mr..
Carter and that in all probability the de-
sired relief would have been secured.
Not only has Carter done nothing for
Great Falls, but he has worked directly
against this city and favored other towns
in northern and central Montana. He
may be safely charged with hostility as
we'll as inactivity, as regards this city.
His record proves him to be an enemy of
Great Falls and it is therefore the duty
of all good citizens 10 aid in electing him
to-stay at home this time.

If it proves true that the German Off
cials on the east coast OF Africa have
legalized slavery, it will be an eternal
disgrace to Germany and will raise a
storm Of Indignation that no nation can
face iR this age of the world. The prin-
cipal pretext for the general INVASION and
wholesale annexation of ALMOST the whole
Of Africa by the various nations of Eu=
pope has been the impossibllity of ex=
terminating slavery by any other mean
than the occupancy of the country. This

Exposed Women and Children.
The Rush Premature.
The President Issues a Proclamation Ordering
ITEM On the strips sure Thing Men
Abound-Cattlemen Surprised
A Cold Night Experienced.

srecisI &c Ire Gazette.
HUNNEwELL, KAN. March l5.-The
first night of the boomers on the
Cherokee Strip was a sorry one indeed.
The cold wave which swept over the
country caused much suffering among the
women and children and delicate men,
Of whom there are u large number.
Couriers have arrived here from all along
the line, and report that not less than
10 900 people were camped on the bor-
ders, on an average OF fifteen miles from
the line. Thase people went on yester-
day in such a hurry that not one-tenth
of them had even tents to shelter them
from the cold winds. and, IN addition to
the suffering for want.of shelter, came
the need Of food The result is that
great numbers OF the boomers and
their families are to-day nearly
sick from the unwonted exposure A
fact has been developed which has here
tOfore been carefully concealed. 1t is
now learned from good authority that
much restitution has prevailed among
the Jumpers, who have been waiting on
the border for the past month. Many
families have been without the
BAREsT NECESSITIES OF LIFE,
and the result has been that sickness has
been prevalent to an alarming extent,
especially among children. The intlu-
euza, which ragged throughout the
world, did Tot pass this place by, and
many of the people who were just re"ov-
ering from the disease have been thrown
back upon their beds by the exposure.
In addition to this an epidemic OF mea-
sizes has broken out and many children
have been afflicted. Anumber of deaths
have been recorded, and as there Is a
lack of doctors in the section, there will
undoubtedly Le many N ore fatalities.
A speCal from kiOwu confirms the re-
ported conflict between boomers aud
cowboys. The trouble had its origin
from small prairie fire which had been
started by the carelessness OF some of
the boomers, which spread to the range
upon which a large herd of cattle were
feeding. The cowboys, after safely
rounding the cattle up and stopping the
fire, went to the camp to caution the
men to he more careful. Hot words passed
and fight occurred, but nobody was
seriously injured.
