sinew of Montana Democracy. The
few conspirators who manipulated
things were thinking only of their own
personal fortunes. The resolution to
the effect that the alteruates to the
Bozeman convention be the delegates
to the Great Falls convention, was of
the kodak Dave Hill order. 1t means
that the delegates to the convention
which dominates all state officers, and
which is of paramount Importance,
have been chosen several months IN
advance, and at IA convention in which
the Democrats Of the county were
shiny represented. The Democrat who
might have an honorable ambition 10
attend the state convention three

cast and the wof-hirful follower must

Now and then some free trader, in

the Mckinley law has increased the

obese pessimist Of Democracy, Grover
Cleveland, recently uttered something
like the above. 1t is a dire extremity
when a pretended statesman resorts to
such demagogy, Protection is II great
principle OF policy which is intended
to benefit all, though its results and
benefits may not be instantaneous. 1t
aims Ia encourage new enterprises IN
America and give employment to la
Dor at the high average standard al
ready attained, rather than to still
further advance WAGES. This is now
the best country beneath the sun for
the wage worker. Were it not - the

State: Your letter OF this date tender

Secretary Blaine's resignation was
taken TO the white house 10y his pri-
vate secretary, Mr.. Dent, who placed
it in the hands OF the president. This
was "A little before l O'Clock and with
IN fifteen minutes after it was written.
Soon after reading it the president de
Sceudel to the east room and held his
usual saturday afternoon reception
TO the public. There We're about 200
people present, not onel of whom, as
he shook the presidents hand, could
have told from his cool and collected
manner that anything unusual had
happened. Indeed AN official OF the
mansion said the president really
seemed to he in better spirits than
usual and made felICItous replies to
the greeting oil some OF his visitors.
tfter the reception the president re-
turned to his library and addressed a
letter to Blaine accepting his resigna-
ton. This was given to Private Sec
rotary Halford with instructions that
1t he delivered at once, and Halford
t%hereupon took It over to Blaine's
house and placed il nhis hands, Thus
HE whole transaction did not con
sumo more than an hours time.

At this writing il il difficult to under
stand the cause of Blaine's resignation

the president and the latter reply
give no outward sign. 1t is thought
by some thai Mr.. Blaine il in the rae
for the prize himself, and 10y others
that he wanted To be free To- throw his
support to another than President
Harrison. II is not improbable that
both will be cast aside and a dark
horse. or one just a shade too light to
be called dark, be chosen. 1t may lie

that a dark horse may come to the

that case, AZ the dispatch indicates,
