son is much than he was four
years ago. He was then an untried
man, with his capacities undeyeioped
and his virtues unknown to any great
extent. But he has given the country
an administration for purity, patriotism
and vigor that has never been surpassed.
IL requires no apologies or defense. Ii
has the hearty approval of business
men and the confidence If the laboring
classes. Ii has been the administration
of a thorough going American, who be-
lieyes in the welfare of his country first
and the balance of the world afterwards.
While Mr.. Cleveland has an element
of strength in some eastern states, it is
no doubt exaggerated. Rhode Island
has shown by her vote that she oes not
endorse his free trade ideas and again
with a majority Of the eastern states, il
not all, will r%epudiate him at the polls
next November.
Cleveland has no strength in the west.
In this respect the nomination is a weak
one, but his managers were not
of the fact. They cared nothing for
the mining and wool growing interests
of this section. The party has declared
for free wool and free lead in congress,
and the convention acted in perfect
harmony with those views. Cleveland
is the unrelenting foe of silver-advis-
ing it's decentralization before he took
the presidential chair, s great was his
hatred of the white metal. While presi-
dent he urged the placing of wool on
the free list, and Roger q. Mills drew
up a bill embracing Growers views On
this subject. Together with old man
Sparks, he made it almost impossible
for settlers to obtain patents to their
lands-regarding the majority of them
as thieves.
Quite different has been the policy of
the present administration. Montana
never had q better friend than President
Harrison. AS ar evidence of this he
appointed one of our foremost citizens
commissioner Of the general land office,
and the business-like manner in which
the office is conducted, the rapidity
with which patents are obtained can be
attested by the settlers themselves.
Furthermore, Mr.. Harrison is doing all
in his power for the cause of silver.
While it is claimed that he would have
vetoed a silver bill, don't forget the fact
that a Democratic house, with a major
ity of 14O, did not give him a chance to
express his desire. 1t vetoed the bill
for him. His efforts in behalf of an in
ternational conference t fix a ratio for
gold and silver, shows his sympathy not
only in one part or division of the
country, but for the welfare of the peo-
pie in every nook and corner of the ma
ton. Mr.. Harrison is entitled to the
support of the mining states as against
Grover Cleveland, and we doubt wheth-
er the latter carries n state west of the
Mississippi river.

1t is the acme of gall for such sheets

VICE PRESIDENT REID.

Certain anarchistic papers OF the

The summer Assembly.

The Assembly at Oak Island Park
opened its first session last Friday.
There were fifteen tents occupied and
several others reserved. Everything
was ausplcions and good time was
anticipated. Friday evening the ex-
ercises consisted of an informal plat
form meeting IN which Rev's Allen,
Crawford, Goodrich, and Hon. Frank
Mckay participated. A vein of hu-
NOR run through the speeches, which
aroused a general good feeling. At
2;30 p. m. Saturday, Rev. E. w. Al
len OF Norton, addressed the assem-
bly,. He showed IN a very conclusive
argument that prohibition as a tenn
perance measure has not yet had a
fair test. Saturday evening Rev. E.
Leonardson of Neosha Falls, spoke
on prohibition from a political stand
point. He is a very forcefuI speaker,
and evidently is honest in his convic-
tons, but as a matter of course all
his hearers did not agree with his
conclusions.
Sunday was devoted wholly to re-
ligious exercises. In the morning
Rev. Leonardson preached a very
powerful sermon, and in the after
noon Rev. E. w. Allen occupied the
pulpit. Towards evening the ap-
pearance of a storm caused many to
leave the grounds who otherwise
would have renamed, hence the au-
dience was small at the night service
Rev. Goodrich commenced preaching
and was compelled to close rather
abruptly on account Of the approach
ing rain. Our people are all aware
that the rain fell IN torrents during
the night. Monday morning the
grounds were found to be deluged
and it was thought best to abandon
the enterprise. While the rain was E
great blessing, it certainly seems de-
plorable that after so much time anG
expense on the part of the manage
ment their hopes for its success could
not have been realized.
The enterprise has not been very
profitable one financially, and has
cost Mr.. Allen considerable money
that he can i'll afford to lose, and ou
! people should make up the amour
to him. This assembly matter SHOULD
be taken up by the people at large, a
it is too much of an undertaking TO
the members Of any one society. Th
grounds, if more accessible, can b
made very beautiful. If the peopl
will take up this matter and have

line with bridge across the creel
