Prof, CoIe's colored brass band. A colored
alee club and drum corps also assisted Al
the third meeting of the Helena Republican

many spectators had to stand up IN the

gan, The most startling thing was the an
nouncement of Police Judge Sanders de-
termination to remain out of the race. he
addressed . letter to III. G. Smith, chair
man of the city central committee, ysster-
day. saving he was not a candidate Tor re-

Richard Jockey was among the people
Who stood up at the rear of the hall. Inc
Citizen had his usual pleasant smile and
greeted everybody with g cordial hand-
shake. He did not 60 up and take = seaS
on tho platform with Mayor kleinschmldt.
ex-Alderman Harrison, Assistant United
States Attorney Mcdonald, President sterl~
ina and Judge Howey. After the speakers
cot III ough and the band played another
patriotic air Mr.. Jockey made a short talk.
President Sterling drew the first round Of
applause for Secretary George Q. Freeman's
six-pound boy who made his appearance ~
ak \. ~. Yesterday The secretary sent a
note that his new office bad more I'M
rerative demands on his time Just at pres
ent than the club meeting. Three cheers
were given for the young republican ana
John Potter was placed at the secretary1s
desk. s
Mavor Kleinschmidt was the first speaker
and his remarks attracted a good deal OF
attention. He made a brilliant de1ense
of the Harrison administration and gave
James G.. Blaine his due share OF credlt.
The CHILEAN incident and the Berlng sea
affair were touched upon. He could not
help feeling that the meeting sign1hed
something was in the air. 1t is time to be
ready to meet the issues before tAe people.
In the coming campaign the republicans
would surely name the Winning man - the
presidential race. The party had redeemed
eyery promise it had made and would 90 80
- raspect to whatever pledges 1t might
make this fail. A united effort and
thorough organization would cause victory
~ nerch upon the banners Of the party IL
ia coming contest. The mayor said he
did not propose to speak about the clts
administration but would leave that TO Inc
others. He asked that the administrator
he indeed nv former ones ana conclusions
drawn. He criticised an ex-otflcer or the
citv who had attempted to find fault with
the present system Of book keeping.
Next came a funny story from President
Sterling as he introduced e1-Alderman
Harrison. who made a good speech. IL was
ton, and delivered in a manner Wnicn re-
lieyed the well-worn subject of mich dry
meas. Mr.. Harrison thought the presl'
dents story had some reference 10 the
time when in the same hall the e1-alder-
man had the pleasure or placing IN nom.
nation the name OF oonn ms =. muspns a. q.

After another martial air from Prof.
Coles musicians, Assistant United States
Attorney John M. Mcdonald made a short
speech in which he urged the burylng OF all
fights in the party aud presenting q united
front. He referred briefly to the govern
ment suits against the Great Falls d Can
ada railway for importing contract alien
labor. and brought down the house.
just as the mee.idg was about to break
up there were loud calls for MT. Jockey,
who was in the rear of the hall. He went

Sterling introduced him. He spoke In q
low tone of voice and was not heard in all
parts Of the hall. He said he was not on
the bills for the meeting and had not pre-
pared a speech or dug up any ancient MS
tory for the benefit of the audience. The
other bows had said all that WAS to be said.
The club was congratulated on Its success.
He believed that the most interesting
question at present was the coming city
election. and he hoped to see the republl-
cans support the candidates OF their party.
If the right kind of n ticket is put up vic.
tory is sure. He said he thought the only
mistake he ever made was when ne ran for
police Judge on a citizens ticket after the
city was incorporated and was defeated by
Joseph Davis. who ran independent. u
wanted an office then worse than J. dc
now he said. He WAS given hearty alp
plause as he slapped down from the plat
form aud shook hands with Il number OF
people who were introduced to HIM.
President Sterling says the club has 69(
members and will have 900 by next fall.
The following resolution offered By
Judge Howey was adopted during the meet
ing:
Whereas. The use of personalities in {
political campaign subserye no higher pur.
pose than to enpender luminosity between
the members of the respective political par
sies and to create ii feeling whers friend
ship is to be desired, therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the members o
the Helena Republican club, will discour
age the use of all personal abuse of candi
dates or of individual members of politica
organizations during the entire campaign
of this year and to this end we would mos
earnestly request that our public speaker
as we'll as the press, abstain as much Il
possible from personalities and contine tn
canvass to q discussion of the issues to b
presented to the people free from an.
above mere party yituperation.
