Hello, There That Will Never Do.

\. 0. City Item, Oct. g.
The Anti dyiAmcls OF Louisiana
their campaign management generally
must have felt Il painful shock on
reading the account Of tic Democratic
mass meeting yesterday at lndepend-
encc, Tangipahna palis!l.
With that spirit Of fair play that
should characterize patrlUtic Americans
everywhere, q joint discussion ofthe lot
terry amendment issue was had, the
Ants beng conceded the opening and
the closing speeches.
DR.. Magann opened the proceedings
by asking close attention to both sides,
and urging the people to let honest con-
'vlctl0n not unrtasonig nprejudice guide
their future action. lie then Introduce
Ell as the first speaker Hon. ii. A,
Strickland, who, expressing himself us
being opposed to the amendment, de-
nounced as false the charge that the
legislators Of 1899 who voted for the
submission of the question to the pe0-
pie were blibe,l. His personal acquain-
lance with many Of the members of the
last legislature was sufficient to con-
vince him that they were aCtuatcd by
the purest of motives, and that no bride
had been used to get them to vote as
they did. The speaker went on to deny
that Louisiana needed more revenue,
and rehearsed ether stock arguments
of the Ants. which have so often been
repeated.
Hon. B. G.. Shields aud Judge W. B t.
Kemp. armed with unquestlonable facts
and the irrefutab!e proofs Of carefully
analysed statistics, argued in favor of
the revenue amendmcnt-that great
and sole hope of relief to the taxpayers,
and carried conviction with them.
Then came Hon. r. r. Reid, who gave
another shock to his Anti followers. He
opposed the lottery because it was i'm
moral and had monopolistic tendencies,
but he believed the Pros to be honest
and sincere in their convictions. From
his standpoint the Pros were wrong,
but they believed themselves right.
His democracy taught him to respect
their opinion.
Now, we submit that the Anti cause
will be sent to the demnition bow
vows" if such advocates as Messrs.
Strickland and Reid are long permitted
to run at large. If the Legislature was
not corrupt and the Pro Democrats are
honest men and sincere in their con-
victioE that the lottery high license will
prove blessing, then indeed have the
mainsaiiS Of the Anti craft blown
away.
A delegation of Sabine reformers
should be put in charge of the next
meeting.

Hancock was brought into the court room.
His mother and sister, who have been con
slant attendants upon the trial, were not

attorneys table. When tho clerk finished,
Hancock's faco wore a broad smile and
look Of relief. lie sprang from his chair
and faced the jury and said. "'Gentlemsn
Of the jury, ] congratulate you ON your
righteous decision.'' Theu no shook hands
with each juryman ms they left the box. and
several spectators. Hancock was arrested
on July 10 last for completely in

near the Montana Central crossing between

knowledge through several sources which i
consider reliable, that certain parties have
made public statements and otherwise, that
in the event that / should be awarded the
oontraet for the paving Of Main street n
10 was my intentionsto import labor from
other cities to do the work. ANY. such
statements that have been made OF this
character, i desire to pronounce as abso-
lutely false and untrustworthy, and with
out any authority whatever from me. .
/ desire further to state that, should the
contract be awarded IL me, " - my 1nton-
ton, az it has been my practice ana Gus,
tom in years past, to employ the labor md
material of the home market, 80 far ~ II -
possible to do 40, giving always the prefer

securing large Investments of capital j q the
CITY Of Helena and state Of Montana, az.
pregating many hundreds of thousands of
dollars; that ! am to-day in q measure
morally responsible for tho stability and
proftableness Of the same, and
therefore must Of necessity have
the property of the city closely
allied to my personal interests. I believe
that it can not be refuted when I say that
in every instance where I lave been inter-
ested, that all contracts and agreements
have been faithfully and honorably per.
formed. / would further say that all Of
my personal interests are now conferred 10
this city, and as fast as / am able to do 40,
am Withdrawing my remaining interests
from the east end making them permanent
in this place, which 7 long ago decided to
make my permanent home.
Such reports as have been circulated, ]
desire to state, are malicious and without
the shadow of a foundation.
In connection with the awarding OF the
contract, I only ask that fair consideration
be given my ~propo.al, and if it is found tc
lsbe the lowest bid, I shall certainly expect
the same to be awarded to me, and ! an
fully competent and haYe sufficient anan-
