THE
NO DING.

The republican state ticket wae put
up to be knocked down. It is a trading
ticket. John e. Richards was nomi-
mated to make a Roman holiday for
Mantle and Carter. The objective
points of the republican leaders in this
state are the electoral ticket and the
legislative ticket. The plot will develop
as the campaign wears on.
The first manifestation of it is seer in
the ruse of the Helena journal, which
feiEns an attack on Mr.. Collins in ac-
cusing him of attempting to bring about
a fusion with the peoples party to Sc
cure his own election by promising dem
ocratic votes for the Weaver electoral
and legislative tickets.
This charge Is wickedly and malic-
iousiy false. 1t is made for the sake Of
covering a movement of the republican
bosses in the direction we have indi-
Gated. Mr.. Collins is a democrat
through and through. He desires the
success OF every other democratic can
didate as much as his own, and will
work Loyalty and unswervingly to that
end. The attempt to injure HIM by in
sinuatlng that he is willing to trade the
electoral ticket or the legislative ticket
will fail. No part of this democratic
ticket was nominated to be traded off.
Let the slaughter of Richards go on,
by all means. The INDEPENDENT will
Loyalty aid in that cheerful work. But
let no republican or democrat or popu
list deceive himself about the united
democracy Of this state. They have set
out to defeat the entire republican ticket
from top to bottom. There will be no
~treachery to any democrat on the ticket.
There will be no deals with the republi-
cans or populists that will give the cleo

HELENA or

The esteemed Anaconda Standard in,
we are sorry to see, a somewhat angry
vein, remarks: "lAnaconaa is now recog-
nized as tho leading rival Of Helena. All
the competent judges admit that be-
tween these two cities comes the tug Of
war. This city 10 not blowing in as
much money as Helena finds it
good policy to spend, but. in a
quiet way it is shaping it's fight and
planning for what it believes to be a
victory. The order OF events seems to
have fixed upon Anaconda as the city
OF which must be concentrated the
strength that is to oppose Helena, and
the indications come pouring in that
this strength will be cheerfully given.
unquestionably early October will find
the contest for places narrowed down to
this town and Helena, and this plucky
little city is not afraid to face the al
legged millions OF money which the tenn
porary capital has always Dragged about,
but which it never actually had, except
in the shape of indebtedness"
WI entirely concur in our contempt
diagnosis OF the situation. The
is unquestionably narrowing
down to Helena and Anaconda. The
towns, in the Judgment of close
observers, are practically out of it. 1t
is better all around that it should be SO,
for the contest can now be settled, one
way orthe other, this year to the profit
and benefit of all the people.
Helena or Anaconda it is! Let the
of the state make a close exami-
nation Of the relative merits and adj
vantages of the two cities and prepare
to ballot. Helena is ready for the test.

A BOOK FOR REPUBLICANS,

We take pleasure in informing our re-
publican friends in Montana that the
"Republican Campaign Book, Official
Edition." is now ready for delivery. The
prospectus, which is before US, an
nounces that it contains "The lives of
Harrison and Reid, the Mckinley bill,
the doctrine of protection, reciprocity,
etc. All these interesting subjects, we
are informed, are set forth in a most
strictly partisan" way, and all issues
fare presented from the standpoint OF
the great national republican party, and
forms the clearest history of every ques-
ton. The book is a library in itself and
a marvel Of fine arrangement. All OBJ
securities are removed. You will know
what you are voting for and why you are
voting for it."
AS will be seen by this announcement,
the book will be indispensable to every
republican in this state. The thing that
has perpleyed the members of the party
most has been to find out "what you are
voting for and why you are voting for
it," Thus far the republicans in Mon
tana have had great trouble with this
conundrum. The book comes most OPP
portunely to clear up the muddle. We
do not wish to quote so much from the
prospectus as to spoil the sale of the
book here and will only give one extract
from the announcement, to show that
the book contains a fearless exposition
of the party's principles. In the Ian
guage of the prospectus:
THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER is
SHOWN TO BE A DANGEROUS FALLACY,
CHERISHED ONLY BY MUDDLE-HEADED
POLITICIANS N THOSE WHO HAVE A

that the Hon. L. ii. Hershfield and the

influence with this administration.

The growth and prosperity of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society have been largely due to its strong financial condition,
prompt payment of Death Claims, and unparalleled dividend
results acquired under its Tontine system. Upon all classes of
its Tontine policies issued 20 years ago, and whose Tontine
periods are now maturing, the cash returns are in every case
and at every age more than the total premiums paid, and this
is in addition to the protection afforded by the policy during 20
years. The returns n Endowment Policies are equal to all the
premiums paid with interest at rates between 6 and 7 per
cent. per annunn.

Up Goes the Ticket.

Topeka Democrat: I'VE nail the
democratic ticket to the masthead of
the Democrat, and there it will remain
until it is trlumphantlY elected on the
9Th day of next November. We have no
apologies to make for SO doing. The
ticket was nominated as given, from
top to bottom, at the recent democratic
state convention held in this city. 1t
is the ticket of every loyal democrat in
Kansas, and as such, is entitled to the
vote of every democrat in the state.
More than that, we call upon all intelli-
gent and patriotic citizens who are op-
posed to force bills and the plutocratic
thlevery known as war tariff" to unite
in support of the aforesaid ticket. This
is the supreme duty"

Our republican friends are in a spasm
of fear lest what they call fusion will
forever bury democracy and disrupt
the peoples party. How tenderly their
hearts beat for us. The peoples party
is in the position of the freighter who
got into bad road. He couldn't be
angry at the man who helped pull him
through. The democrat party is in the
position of the freighter who came be-
hind. He had to help the other fellow
out in order to get through himself.
Don't try to scare former republicans
from our ranks by telling them the
democrats are going to help them do
what they want done. Most of US are
unable to see any real difference be-
tween high tariff for high revenue
Cleveland, and high tariff-reciprocity-
clause Harrison. We protest this is
not fusion in the usual meaning of the
term; but call it what you please. If
this be fusion let us make the most
of it.

ing the 5000 militia on the 9Th with
open arms. In return for this General
Snowden, when waited upon by a COM

He also says that force was not intend
