STATE CONVENTION.
The Republicans Nominate
Hartman for Another
Term.
A Strong Protection and Free
Silver Platform Was
Adopted.

The following telegram was re-
ceived as the paper vas going to press
from E.. X. Abbott who, as a dele
gate, was in attendance at the state
republican convention held in Hell
ena on Thursday.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 6,-[SpEcTAL
TO THE HERALDEThc republican state
convention met at 2:30 p. IN. in the
Auditorium building. The convention
was called to order by chairman, the
Hon. Lee Mantle. 1t was the largest
political convention ever held in the
state. There were in attendance two
hundred and ninety seven delegates.
The entire city was beautifully decorat-
ed and the band rendered the finest mu-
sic ever heard in Montana. The chair
man reviewed the past two years of our
country's history in a most eloquent,
logical and able address. Hartman was
renominated for congress by reclamation
amid the widest burst of enthusiasm ev-
er witnessed in Montana and he was viz
tually carried to the platform where he
gave II magnificent speech. The conven-
ton resolved for protection to American
labor and American industries and for
the free coinage of silver at a ratio of
l6 to 1. The silver plank is as follows:
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold at IA ratio of
sixteen to n and the making of silver
as well as gold a legal tender for all
debts both public and private and we
pledge ourselves and representatives in
congress to the support of the policy ex-
pressed in this resolution, irrelative of
the action of republicans of other sect
ions of the Union. We further demand
that this policy shall be established
forthwith by the Independent action of
our government regardless of what other
countries may or may not do.
AT 8 o'clock, Supreme Judge not nom
mated. f. X. ABBOTT.

j. H. LOTUS wishes to present his
name as a candidate for the office of
Treasurer, subject to the vote of the re-
publican county convention.
Our old friend William Munroe came
back from Whitehall last week, where he
has spent the summer in the employ of
the Golden Sunlight Mining company.
He will remain a while with us to en-
JOY a much needed rest and a chat with
his many friends, but intends soon to 90
to Idaho where he expects to spend the
coming winter.
Dame rumor has it that our friend.
James c. Banding, left last night for
Townsend where he is to be married.
The lady we learn was a former resident
of Ncihart. jim has been rather happy
for the past few weeks and this accounts
for it. We extend congratulations and
wish him all the happiness possible.
After being married the happy pair will
take Il trip through the National park.
There is no reason in the world
why a man of horse sense should be-
come a populist. 1t may do for a
demagogue, who sees a chance to
get an office, but even such dig their
political graves nine times out of
ten. But for the mar who simply
wants to better his own condition
and that of his neighbor through a
governmental policy, it is simply a
delusion, a craze, that is short lived.
The mar without a wheel in his head
should be careful not to make his
condition even worse than it is
