The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1892-09-17

The action of the colored men of
Great Falls in deserving the republican
party is in keeping with the feeling of
the most intelligent members of their
race throughout the country. On Sep
TENDER ), Il. f.. Christy, editor of the In
dianapolis World and one of the most
prominent colored men of Indiana. an
nounced in his paper that he would no
longer support the republican party, and
gave the following as his reasons:
| have long since ascertained that the
glorious promises which are held out to
people of my color by republican office
seekers on the eve of an election invari-
ably fail to materialize, and it seems to
mt that it is high time we were calling a
halt on such dupery. The greatest curse
upon the black man of today in his
proneness to blindly obey the dictates of
republican demagogucs without consult
ing his wi inclination, because he has
been made to believe that his freedom
was secured wholly and entirely through
the republican party.
The world moves, and there is no bet
ter proof of it than the enlightenment of
the colored race.

LOCATION OF THE CAPITAL.

Now that the nominations are closed
for the location of the permanent capt.
tai. and no other place except the eight
towns named elsewhere can be voted for.
it will be interesting to review the act OF
the legislature which provided for the
settlement of this question. By its
terms a vote is to be taken at the gen.
eral election in November, 1892, and all
qualified voters are to vote on the ques-
ton. The names of each of the towns
nominated will be on the ballots and
each voter will be allowed TO vote for
but one place. The voter must place his
cross beside the name of the town which
he wishes to vote for in the same man
ner as he does for the candidates on the
ticket that he favors. The capital bal
lot will be separate from the general bal
lot. If at this election no one of the can
didates receives a majority of all the
votes cast. there will be no choice for the
capital this year and the two towns hay
ING the largest number Of votes will be
voted for again in the election of 1884.
Every voter should be very careful in
the coming election to see that he marks
his ballot as he desires to vote and
makes no mistake in placing his cross.
Carelessncss in this respect may cause
a voter to cast his ballot for a candidate
that he had no intention of voting for,
and it will therefore be seen that too
much care can not be observed in this
matter.
1t is important that the capital ques-
ton should be settled this year, if posi-
bic. and on election day the wise voter
will place his mark opposite the name of
Great Falls. because he will realize that
by so doing he is acting for the future
as well as the present welfare OF the
state.

GERMANS TO THE FRONT.

From the Montana Herold, a powerful
organ of the German voters published at
Great Falls. we take the following.
After speaking Of the faithfulness of the
Germans to national interests the Her
old Gays:
This influence had but a short life.
Too strong vas the puritanical, intoi-
Grant element within the republican
party, too fast was the latter driven into
the arms of monopoly and corrupt poIiti-
cal practices. Leaders like Carl Schurz
and Fritz Hassadre k, whose pure mo-
tives never were questioned, turned their
back to their erstwhile idol.
Still the mass Of the German republi-
can voters continued to loyalty adhere
for many years efter the war to the party
1t had joined, and this Notwithstanding
that emancipation was an accomplished
fact. that they were opposed to high
tariff, monopoly and it's consequences,
enrichment Of the few at the expense of
the many, were enemies by instinct and
former sufferance under it's burden to
class legislation, as inaugurated by the
party of its choice.
But as the saying is, the last straw
broke the camel's back. Flushed and
vain through constant victories, the re.
publican party by it's open and constant
servitude to prohibition and social fanat
icism; by it's antagonism to what the
German holds most dear-personal liber-
ty, freedom of his own judgment in re-
gard to the education of his children
struck the blow that severed the link.
And what a change!
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, those states
OF overwhelming republican majorities
for years and years, go just as over
Whelmingly democratic on these issues.
True. these were state elections. But
there are two factors which will keep
the German-American vote within
the democratic ranks: The sponta-
neous, voluntary sympathy they
bear toward democracy's stand
ard bearer, Cleveland, the conviction
that he will unflinchingly serve the in
terests of the whole people and the indis-
putable fact that the democratic party
by it's declarations OF princip.es, by its
legislation when and where in
has always shown itself an impartial
protector of the views and rights of all
the citizens of our great republic.
In view of the almost universal dis
affection to Mr.. Harrison that is sweep
ing like a cyclone over the land, there is
no special wonder that the Harrisonian
ice wagon becomes heavier as the cam
p ,ign advances.

self and show that she is sufficiently in
earnest to bear the brunt of the fight, to
make the sacrifices necessary to such a
conflict and even to meet defeat merrily
if defeat needs must come.
But at present our people must be
fired with the spirit Of enthusiasm which
is the essential f)rerunner of victory.
They must work early and late for the
great object before them. They must
win the day by actual labor, and finch
not, no matter what obstacles arise. Let
the watchword be "Great Falls and

AND now the Benton River Press is
stirred up by the TRIBUNE editorials.
This must be a new sensation to our
lethargic friend, and it is gratifying to
know that the reference Of this paper to
Mr.. Richards vote in the convention had
such a magic effect on the cerebellum OF
our Benton neighbor. II he prefers us
to dwell upon the fact that Mr.. richards
majority over all was the gay and festive
"a" we are prepared to humor him on
that point. Thirteen, as all the sages
from Persia to Peru have testified, is a
fatal number no matter in what combi-
nation it may be found, but it was not
our purpose. as yet, to remark that no
combination Of figures would prove as
fatal to Mr.. Richards as the said No.
IA" To oblige the good neighbor at
Benton we now mention the fact and he
will see it amply verified early in Novem-
Der. While the tariff and silver will cut
some figure in the national campaign,
the candidates put forward by the re-
publican party makes it inevitable that
the head and front OF the issues in this
state will be precinct "a.

SECRETARY of State ROtwitt has closed
the nominations for permanent state
capital as the sixty day limit has expired.
The list of candidates as finally made up
stands as follows: Butte, Helena, Great
Falls. Boulder, Deer Lodge, Bozeman,
Anaconda, and Pony, a hamlet of Madi-
son county. 1t is understood that the
l%atter's application is perfectly serious
though some people might think It a
joke. Helena is said to be substituting
all the purhasable newspapers about the
state to present her claims. but Great
Falls is willing to confide her case to the
wisdom and patriotism Of the people.

THE LESSON OF THE MAP.

The TRIBUNE presents this morning
an accurate map Of Montana, which
shows the exact location of Great Falls
and its relation to other sections Of the
state. This map was engraved several
months ago for Harper's magazine, and
is absolutely correct. There are no lines
in the map which are not in strict con-
formity with the surveys of the govern
ment, so that every reader may form his
opinion on trustworthy data, as to the
advantages of Great Falls situation, and
its desirability as a site for the perma-
nent capital of the state.
1t will be seen at a glance that whereas
the other candidates for the capital are
near the southern and western borders,
Great Falls has the advantage of being
approximately in the geographical cen
ter of the state and certainly is what is
destined to be. because of the character
of the surrounding country, the absolute
center of population before many years
have elapsed. The vast region to the
eastward that is watered by the Missouri
river and its tributaries will support a
population as great as that of any state
in the union.
On the north and west are valleys and
plateaus containing lands as rich in fer
tility as any that are now open to settle
ment, while a great region to the south
and southeas. is not less attractive in
this respect, and contains districts that
possess mineral deposits equal In rich
ness and extent to any in the state.
Every citizen should give careful atten-
ton to this map. Study it in it's relations
to the future growth and development of
Montana, and decide on how to cast his
vote rather on account of what he thinks
for the eternal interests of the state, than
through any momentary interest of his
own, or those of any particular place or
community.
1t is clear thai many of the state
papers have been bought up by Helena
capital to work for that city during the
campaign. The Fergus County Argus,
for instance, has always been outspoken
in it's friendliness to Great Falls, and has
said more than once that this city was
its choice for the capital. But in its is
sue of September 8 it switches around
and after saying, There are a number of
our citizens who would like to have the
capital located at Great Falls" it beats
about the bush and ends up by saying
that Helena now is its only choice.
There are a great many more of these
small newspapers about the state which
are taking the same course and it is pos
sible that they may play some part in de-
Gliding this question, but we do not be-
lieve that IA large number of honest peo-
pie will be influenced by a subsidized
press which has been bought up for the
declared object of pr%ostituting public
opinion and bringing about results which
are not in keeping with either the wishes
or interests of the people at large.
Let the people of Great Falls and all
who are the friends Of this city stand
firm in their allegiance. Let no man be
influenced by the tactics of u enemies
and let a solid phalanx be formed from
one end of the state to the other to place
the capital at the central point where
our citizens can meet for all time on com
mon ground.

movement was set on foot by John
Adams, q. w. Robertson, Chas. Lawson

part Of the murderer to avenge
