DOOMED TO DEFEAT

The republicans feel very much cast
down over the political situation. They
recognize the fact that they are between
the devil and the deep sea. They don't
want to sell out Harrison but they
recognize the fact that his defeat is nee
essary if the republican party shall exist
any longer. 4 number of republican
senators hold this opinion and they do
not hesitate to say that four years more
of Harrison and his methods will so dis
organize and disrupt the party that it
will be impossible to pull it together and
elect another republican president.
Mr.. liarrison's manner of treating his
associates is not such as to inspire en-
thusiasm. He demands the utmost
scrviiity. He impresses it upon them
every hour that he is the boss. Natural
~ they don't love him for it. He has in
four years succeeded in alternating all
those who have too much independence
to bow down and worship him. He has
taught his political associates that in
order to receive any consideration at his
hands. they must wear the Harrison col
lar and bow their knees.
Following this course of conduct Mr..
Harrison has utterly ignored all those
who opposed his denomination. Not one
OF those who were active against him at
Minneapolis. except Gen. Clarkson, has
been near him since the convention.
They have not been asked to call. The
result is they wouldn't call now if asked.
lie has alienated enough influential men
in various states to make his success in
November practically impossible. The
democrats will do the rest

RINGS AND RINGS.

Our esteemed evening contemporary
at times works itself up in a fine state OF
indignation over what it is pleased to
call the ring methods of some Great Falls
democrats, and the ate and cut-and.
dried tickets of the alleged ring. Then
it brings out a few pleasant little touches
about republican harmony. It is strong
ly suspected, however, that there is a
good deal of irony in this talk about re-
publican harmony. For the Leader
knows-none better--that there is about
as much harmony in the republican
party of Cascade county as there is be-
tween a coyote and a jack rabbit.
But Of course no one would think of
looking for rings in the republican party
AT least not more than two. But they
do say that a county slate has been
made up on which, Of the present incum-
bents of the county offices, the name Of
the clerk and recorder is the only one
that appears. All the others must step
down and out because-well. because
they don't favor the right ring. The fiat
has gone forth that the county treasurer
must be a young half-breed who was re-
markably active in the city campaign
last spring. The sheriff. Office will see
the urbane ~Josephus no more. He isn't
on the right side of the fence. And so
on down the list.
or course in order to make this slate
successful it is necessary for the friends
of the fiat candidates to control the
county convention. But no one will
suppose for an instant that steps have
been taken to secure such control. There
is no quiet work being done in the coun-
try precincts. No jobs are being put up
in the city. No city employees are add
ing to their ordinary duties political
work in interest of certain candidates.
Oh. no, there are no states and no rings
in the republican camp-only two of
each. that's all.

ON THE OTHER LEG.

1t is very clear from the utterances In
the republican press within the last few
days that they are going to make this q
bloody-shirt campaign. They know they
can't win on straight issues 80 they are
going to try the old campaign methods
Of prejudice and passion. The changes
will be rung on the war issues and above
all on the charge that the democrats OF
the south suppress the negro vote. AS d
matter of fact the boot is on the other
leg. The negro has been the victim OF
white republican treachery ever since
he was ~emancipated and the republican
party is today Systematically expressing
him in the south, where he is a political
factor.
The Memphis Appeal-Ava!anche dis,
cussing the negro question says:
"How many negroes in the south are
holding federal offices under this repub-
lican administration? Not many. They
are suppressed by the white republicans.
Here in Memphis the republicans no
longer hold conventions. A dozen whites
get together and put out a ticket or an
executive committee, self-appointed,
make the nominations. So far as the
ne 70 is concerned he is almost abso-
lutely suppressed by the whites Of his
own party, and the only use they have
for him is to make him cast his vote for
them. The democratic politicians of
the south saw how a few shrewd whites
led the negroes by the nose, and
they began to employ similar tactics.
Just as long as the select order of car.
pet baggers could twist the negroes
around to suit their own purposes, all
was we'll; but when it was found that
the democrats were taking some of the
negroes away from their party, and that
the negroes were getting tired of walk
ing up to the polls and casting their bal
lots for a few white men. then the spook
of negro suppression was raised, and
the force bill took shape"
The negroes of the north are begin
mig to appreciate the truth regarding the
political condition of their people in the
south. The thinking men both north
and south are beginning to recognize
the fact that the negroes have been
hoodwinked by their alleged friends, the
republicans, and that their salvation lies
ia their dividing on party lines

NOT TICKLED.

Mr.. Harrison is not as tickled over his
choice of a campaign manager as he
was. 1t has come to his ears that his
henchman has, in the past, been guilty
of making some very unkind remarks
about him. In fact some of the very
meanest things that have been said
about Mr.. Harrison have come from the
mouth of the chairman of the republican
national committee. To be sure this
was before Mr.. Carter received his APP
pointment as land commissioner. That
appointment made Mr.. Carter quit talk
ing against the president and come out
openly as an administration man. 1t
would hardly have been decent for Mr..
Harrison's land commissioner to go
about calling his boss a "narrow-minded
Presbyterian bigot," "a 2-cent Hoosier
politician and SO on.
All this did not come to the prcsi-
dents cars until after he had chosen Mr..
Garter to look after his campaign inter
ests. When he did hear it Benny was
not pleased. In fact he was so much
displeased and he became at once SO dis
%trustful of Mr.. Carter that he immedi-
ately proceeded to set a watch on him
So the story goes and no one doubts it.

VERY SERNOi> =.

The republicans are very nervous over
the continued reports that Judge
Gresham will take the stump for
Weaver. While the democrats place
little credence in the report the fears of
the republicans cause them TO believe
the worst. 1t shows that the republic
ans regard Gresham as ID powerful factor
IN Indiana and that they believe Indiana
is a very doubtful state.
While outside of Indiana Gresham is
but little known it is very different in
the state. There Gresham is strong in
the inverse ratio of Harrison's weakness.
and without Gresham Harrison feels
very dubious Of carrying his own state.
Harrison has long wanted to get

ment to the supreme bench. Harrison's
friends would not allow him to give such
an appointment to Gresham. The fear

the men who made Harrison president
once and whose ~pecuniary interests lie in
making him president again. If Harri-

trusts whose swelling fortunes are the
result Of grinding tariff laws he would
give Gresham a seat on the supreme
bench. but without the trusts Harrison
would not be president. Consequently

ONE OF THE PROTECTED.

A great deal has been said first and
last since the passage of the Mckinley
bill about pearl buttors. The first
effect of the bill was to raise the price of
buttons but our high tax friends are
now asserting that pearl buttons are
lower than they used to be and this they
cite as one of the many blessings of the
high tariff. But this is denied by the
manufacturers themselves.
In a recent cartoon in the New York
Press this was forcibly brought out.
There was the great and only Harrison
with a sword much larger than himself
defending the American workmen against
foreign convict labor. Among the other
convict products thus kept at bay by the
doughty Benjamin are pearl buttons.
No convict made pearl buttons can be
imported into this country while Ben
and Bill are on guard. Not by a long
shot. 1t must be either American made
pearl buttons or none at all. That is
fiat.
Unfortunately for our high nus
and the c%artoonist they haven't posted
themselves on this pearl button ques-
ton. Notwithstanding the enormous
tariff tax, nearly all We use are imported
for the simple reason that the supply
manufactured in this country in a year
wouldn't last us a week. But worse
than that. our friends Ben and Bill are
holding out against the convict-mad
pearl buttons OF other countries for the
purpose of fostering the convict-labor
pearl button industry in this country. In
the southern Illinois penitcntiary at
Chester is our chief pearl button factory,
managed by a company OF German CAPT
talists. Convicts do the work, the
American consumers pay the legitimate
price, plus the tariff tax. and both the
legitimate and the tariff profit go to the
German capitalists.
Oh, what Il protection to the Amcri-
can w%orkingman this Mckinley bill is!

CAMPAIGN CAPITAL.

TIE republican, campaign managers
are using the various departments of the
government as so many mills to grind out
campaign material in the interest of
their candidate and to mislead the
voters. The first grist turned outI was
Carriers report as commissioner.,ssof the
general land office. That wal avowedly
a campaign document. Mr.. Carter in
~tentionally colored his report so AS to
make IN ele~ctioneering document.
The state demartment is also to be
utilized as a factory for campaign mater
ial. Some months ago, all United States
c~onsuls abroad were instructed as to the
part they should play in the campaign.
They are to embody IN their official re-
ports, which are to reach the state de
partment iii time to be of use in the
campaign, statements charging that
business depression exists in the coun-
tries where they are stationed, and that
it is caused by the American high tariff.
These reports are already coming in and
are being circulated.
The methods which the republicans
are adopting show that they consider
their case a desperate one. They know
they cannot win on the merits of the
questions at issue. They must manu-
facture statistics or they are lost.

4 MARTYR.

Our Tom has been posing as a martyr
and his organs have been plaintively
commenting his heroic self sacrifice in
giving up "a $1,000 job to take the
management Of the republican campaign.
True he is sacrificing himself in one
way, for he is likely to be everlastingly
cursed when his failure is registered
next November. But he isn't going to
make a very bad thing Of it. His sacri.
tice of 5000 that has called forth so
much gush from he republican organs
doesn't appear to be quite as heroic after
all. Mr., Carter will receive $4,000 for
his three months work. Hence the
solicitude for an experienced barrel com
mittee. The thrifty campaign managers
have laid their plans with a weather eye
toward getting what Is coming to them
before the chilling frosts of November
have fallen.
