The COLORED VOTE FOR HELENA.

The efforts made to wrest from Hell
ena the colored vote by circulating
damaging reports calculated to
arouse their prejudice will have no
effect on thinking men. 1t is we'll
known fact that the colored citizens
of Helena are prosperous and in good
average financial condition and that
they own more real estate than do
the balance of their brethren
throughout the state. The scheme,
then, to impress our people that we
of Helena are given no chance in the
race of life by our fellow citizens is a
deep laid plot, but so gauzy that any
average man can see through it. 1t
is duty our people owe us to stand
by us in our hour of trial and need.
We need their assistance low AMI it
should be accorded us with alacrity
and unanimity that should put the
stamp of disapproval on the deep laid
plan to put us at war with each other
and to render va ueless the property
we have so arduously labored to ac-
cumulate.
The Colored citizen., 1894-10-15
THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS MuST Be
PRESERVED.

We learn that some of our Helena
contemporaries feel wounded because
we have seen fit to criticise their lack
of enterprise in energetically pre-
senting to the people of the state
Helena's side OF the case in the capi-
tai contest; because we have dared
raise our voice against fogyism, old
timeism and individuallsm; because
we have been outspoken in demanding
an immediate reform on their part in
the interest of Helena; because we
refuse to follow in the bull-team path
travelled by them; because we have
no strings to us; because we refuse to
be muzzled. We do not like to wear
muzzle;; we shall insist on making
legitimate criticisms; we shall do all
we can to win the capital fight for
Helena; we shall tackle the press
when necessary; we shall insist on be-
ing heard until November @, whether
we get out on steam press, gas press
or hand press. The CoLoRED CTrI
zEN's allotted time is only three more
Issues and we assure our contempo-
raries that we shall not change our
policy or hush our voice even though
1t should be a source of comfort to
our able home contemporaries.

POPULISM and DALYISM.
Either Would Ruin the State.

This is no time to experiment with
politics or ''isms" The people of this
state demand safe and stable govern
mental administration and therefore
they propose to down democracy, ig-
more populism, e.pouse republicanism
and repudiate Dalyism. Montana
needs capital and immigration to de-
velop her matchless resources and
they can only be obtained by preserv-
ing favorable conditions. With DAILY
ism in the saddle riding rough shod
over the interests of the people and
the state, may we not expect capital
to avoid us and immigration to shun
us? Several states similarly situated
answer the inquiry affirmatively.
Then let our citizens rally and route
the imported hordes of Anaconda
strikers. Let them assert their man.
hood by doing their duty and burying
Dalyism under an overwhelming ma
jOrity.

ELECTIONS IN 1894.
A Pointer From Maine on What We May
Expect Next November.

A Pointer From Maine on What We May
Expect Next November.
The result of the elections in Maine
is just what thoughtful and intelligent
people of all parties had expected The
figures are little larger than some and
little smaller than others had counted
on, but the effect is an overwhelming
Republican victory. And that is what
everybody had looked for.
As we see the matter, no other con.
summation was possible. The Demo
cratic party has done nothing to com.
mend itself to the respect and confidence
of the country. 1t has succeeded in con.
vincing us that it inclines to foolish and
vicious Legislation, and it has frightened
conservative citizens in all quarters
We cannot imagine any serious and re.
sponsible and useful voter i'm the act Of
sustaining and indorsing the avowed
purpose Of the Democratic leaders-Mr.
Wilson, for instance-and are not sur.
prised that the verdict has been to their
discredit and reputation.
What Maine did we expect the other
states, in the north, east and west at
least, to do when their opportunity pre-.
sents itself. We expect, in word, that
the whole country will rise in protest
against the foolish, mischieyous and
untoward policy which the cuckoos, the
mugwumps and the demagogues have in
dicated. The country is always intelli-
gent and patriotic, and it can be relied
upon, we think, to accept the Republican
party rs the safest, wisest and most
wholesome custodian of the national
welfare under the circumstances that
now prevail in the Democracy. Wash
ington Post.

suspicion always haunts the guilty mind /;
The thief doth fear each bush an othcer, +"
Anaconda asks for fair deal.
Thanks. That's what Helena would
like If such a thing is possible. Yes,
Anaconda is right and the registra.
tion shall be free from fraud. There
shall be no imported tramps. no
tagged dagoes nor this-summer immi-
graft registered. Anaconda must not
be imposed upon, especially in this
manner. There shall be only true
and good men selected as election
commissioners and no Helena Doodle
shall be used to swerve them from
their sworn duty. Anaconda shall
also be protected in this particular.
There shall be no supplementing the
ballot box before, during or after the
election. There shall be no false tab
ulatiou of votes, falsifcation or hold
ing back of election returns. There
shall be no fraud of any kind. Ana.
conda shall have a square show and
the Helena boodlers, strikers, thugs,
blacklegs and banditti shall be
throttled for the time being and An
aconda shall have fair square deal.

A STRONG LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

The republican legislative ticket es-
pecially commends itself to the citi-
zens of this county. From top to bot
tom it is strong and deserves the en-
thusiastic support of not only every
republican but also of every thinking
man of other parties who would reach
the root of the evil besetting the ad-
ministration of national affairs. We
must have republican congress in
order to restore confidence and re-
vive business. This end is most earn
estly desired irrespective OF party af-
filiatiou. Therefore all good citizens
regardless of party ties must come to
the rescue and accomplish this result.
The first step to attain the coveted
object Is to elect a republican legis-
ture which will send two senators to
Washington who will shape legisla-
tion favorable to the upbuilding of
home industries rather than those of
England and other foreign countries.
The Colored citizen., 1894-10-15
THEY WILL ALL VOTE FOR HELENA.

We know of several colored men
who are receiving a per diem to work
in the interest of Anaconda. We also
know of very many white men who are
doing the same thing. So far as the
colored men referred to are con-
cerned, it is likely that force of cir
cumstances compelled them to be-
come Doodle hucksters. This class of
men have no influence with the think
ing men of our people and their effort
is worth nothing, for they are spotted
and we know they are paid to yell for
their boss. Not only can this class of
mer influence no votes, but they will
become so disgusted with themselves
ere election day that if they vote at
all their conscience will smite them
to such an extent that when they are
brought in contact with stern duty
and duplicity face to face in the soli-
tude of the election booth right will
assert itself and Helena will be the
beneficiary.

Tarin Refar,n

Grover Cleveland says in his letter to
Mr.. Catchings:
II take my place with the rank and
file Of the Democratic party who believe
in tariff reform, and who know what it
is, who refuse to accept the results en-
bodied in this bill 1.-THE German bill as
the close of the war
The foregoing quotation is very decep-
tive. Grover Cleveland cannot take his
place with the rank and file of the DEM
ocratic party. He accepted in 1892 the
preferred position as head and leader of
the Democratic party. He no longer be-
longs to the rank and file. The rank and
file of the Democratic party have but
one prerogative-that is to say, the
power Of the ballot. Grover Cleveland
possesses many prerogatives as president
OF the United States and dictator to the
Democratic party. He can make and un-
make politicians, as he has been doing.
tor the last two years. He can formulate
policies for party leaders to follow, and
rs president he can make and unmake
law. By approving a measure which
congress sends to him he can make il a
law, and by his disapproval it goes back
to congress as an uncompleted thing
How, then, can Grover Cleveland take
his place in the rank and file of the
Democratic party and continue to act as
chief executive?
The Colored citizen., 1894-10-15
A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.

We note with pleasure that from
every direction come cheering words
regarding the change of public senti-
ment in favor of Helena for the capl-
tai. This is especially true of col
ored citizens. The strenuous efforts
made by the Anaconda management
to work up sentiment against Helena
by spreading all kinds of falsehoods
concerning color prejudice here have
fallen Hat and decided reaction has
set in since it has been demonstrated
that no foundation exists for the false
and random charges Unfortunately
made. Upon investigation it has been
demonstrated that the colored citi.
zens of Helena are faring better, are
more prosperous, enjoy steadier and
more lucrative employment than in
any other place in the state. So far
as race prejudice goes there is prac-
tically none or at least no more here
than elsewhere. On the whole every.
thing looks very favorable for Helena
and we believe that very large per
centage of the colored vo.- will be
polled for the Queen of the Rockies.

REPUBLICAN YEAR.

The democrat who shall be lucky
enough to steal by the blockade Of
public Indignation this year will in
deed be a lucky man and a prime IA
vorite. Everywhere the signs are
ominous to the party that crept into
power by false pretences, and the
anxious voter only await the oppor.
tunity to thrust his stiletto into the
vitals of the unfaithful and deceptive
democratic corpus. The people may
be cajoled and hoodwinked for a time,
but when the case becomes so ex-
treme as to deplete ones bank ac-
count, empty the pocketbook and
hunger the stomach, then will mill
ions rise up as one man and amuutate
the gangrenous member. Democracy
must 90. It has been derelict to the
trust imposed. The people only
await the opportunity to infiict the
mortal wound. Thus shall it ever be,
the survival of the fttest.

Now, let us see what constitutes
their boasted reductions of duties:
On the basis of importations Of last
year, they have reduced the tariff on
leaf tobacco and Havana cigars 81, 434.
O12.
On liquors they have reduced duties
more than 81, 232, $50. The duty ON
brandy, for example, is reduced from
S2. 80 per gallon under the law Of 1890
to 81. so under the new tariff law.
On laces and embroideries they have
reduced the duties, based upon the i'm.
portations of last year, 81, 537, $50.
On silk dress goods, plushes, velvets,
etc.. So, 72O, 605.
On ostrich feathers and flowers,

On pearl buttons, $22i, 000
On plate and cut glass, S2l5,667.
On opium, for smoking, $4OO, ,073

Every one is an article of luxury.
Not one has any place in the list of ne.

No relief here for the poor.

PARTY LINES WILL BIZ CLOSELY DRAWN.

AS the campaign advances it be.
comes more and more apparent that
party lines will be closely drawn, and
that eac h party will endeavor to rally
around its standard solid party vote.
In the face of the disastrous results
Of democratic supremacy there is a
strong feeling of resentment against
elevating to office any except the
faithful few who are the choice of
our party conventions. No section of
the state is more liberal in respect to
choosing the best candidates from the
several tickets than the county of
Lewis and Clarke, but the signs point
to the drawing of party lines very
taut this time, and it is likely that no
favorite will slip by, but that the
nominees as a whole will be elected
on either the republican or demo-
cratic ticket. 1t is patent to the
casual observer that the local demo
cratic ticket must suffer materially
from the general dissatisfaction ex-
isting against the national demo-
cratic party and that 1t, too, will be
swept away to man in the fury of
the political cyclone that will rush
across this Union on the 9Th of No
vember next.

HELENA, MONT, OCT. Is, 1894.

"Be strong and quit yourselves like
men that We be not servants
Quit yourselves like men and fight"
1t is the duty Of every good citizen
to buckle on his armor, wage unceas-
ing and relentless war, and do battle
in the van of the fight until a victory
Is won, and the Anaconda -for-the.cap-
ital hosts put to flight and scattered
to the four winds. There must be no
temporizing, no parleying, but the
fight must he to finish without quar-
tiers, and there must be such COM
plete and utter annihilation of DAILY
ism, bossism, corruption, bribery,
fraud and intimidation that Montana
shall in the future be an uninviting
field for the trixter to trifie with the
rights of its citizens. A crisis con-
fronts the people of this state and 1t
must be determined now whether the
people-the good citizens-if this
state shall control its affairs or
whether they shall be managed and
handled by a foreign corporation
whose favorite interests shall always
be regarded as paramount to those of
the people.
The Colored citizen., 1894-10-15

The Democratic press has recently
charged that the Republican party was
responsible for the hard times, business
depression, strikes, riots, etc.
Permit an American mechanic who
has always been Republican to plead
guilty to the indictment. And this is
how the charges are proved:
Republican party favors protection.
Protection stimulates manufacturing
industries.
Manufacturing industries furnish EN-
ployment to labor
Large profits stimulate competition.
Competition regulates prices of prod
ducts to the consumer.
Intelligent organized effort on the
part of labor compels good wages.
Protection makes good wages possible.
Good wages have made the laborers
independent
Independence resents free trade wages.
Result, strike for protection wages.
The Republican party is therefore re-
sponsible for:
Protection, good wages, independence
and intelligence of laborers, resistance
to oppression and efforts TO better the
condition of all mankind.
