the patience and resignation OF devout

hours the president and family have been
almost constantly at tho bedside awaiting
the end. Last night was without especial
incident, but late and early. SO frequently
that he could have slept but little If at all,
the president was in and out of the sick
chamber, and was never easy for any length

cool and perhaps the inspiring sunshine

helped the invalid and acted as stimulant.

tion in two days foreshadows total of 32O.-

eight We may be very sure the total vote of

say they will get at least 10000 If we
take the total vote as only 100000, and that

corted Hon. II. ID. Weed. orator of the oc-

White took the chair and introduced State
Treasurer H. o. Hickman, who denied the
statement made by Collins here on the 18th
inst. to the effect that the Northern Pacific
paid no taxes. He read the report of the
state board of equalization to prove the
contrary, Il. A. Steere, republican candi-
date for state superintendent of schools,
made a short speech. Gov. White then
presented Hon. E. d. Weed. The speaker
discussed silver. lead. wool, public lands,
mineral lands, and tariff legislation gener-
ally. He compared the records of the two
great parties on all these issues. to the ad-
vantage Of the republicans. He said Ceve
land was the ayowed enemy of silver, Har-
rison it's friend; the Bland and Stewart
bills were both defeated by democrats; they
dared not pass free coinage measure and
send IL to Harrison; they knew he would
sign it. He presented the records of
Carter and Dixon on the lead question, and
said Dixon sat silent while the bill was
passed to take the duty off lead; quoted
E1-Gov. Hauser on the disastrous effects of
such law on Montana interests. He then
compared the prices of wool in Montana
and just across the British line, IL cents in
Canada, Is to II cents in Montana. Demo-
crata paid six cents for the delicious privi-
leae Of being democrats.
He denounced the administration of
Cleveland, and spoke on the public land
policy, saying the land office was two years
behind when Carter took the commission
ership and was up to date with business
when he left it. Dixon promised to do
something about the mineral land fight
with the Northern Pacific, and Maginnis
was appointed to help him. They got up a
bill which congress failed to consider. Hart
man would need no assistant at big salary
to secure Montana's interests; Dixon was a
cipher in congress.
In the course of his tariff argument he
read Peck's figures on labor and production
in New York and declared that higher prices
