Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1894-09-13

As was to nave been supposed the AR
Gus, in which the letter OF James Fergus
declaring that every voter whose vote is
not bought" will vote for Helena, was first
published. is now out with an apologistic
explanation of the letter. The letter OF
Mr.. Fergus does not of itself cut much OF a
figure, but the hearty and unqualified in
dorsement OF it by the Helena papers is
where the shoe pinches.-Great Falls Tri,
bune.
Our readers can judge whether there
was anything ~apolosistic in our article
on Mr.. Fergus letter. We charge the
writer of the above with wilfully mis-.
quoting Mr.. Fergus. He reiterates the
lie, but what else could be expected
from the desperate sdherents of a lost
cause, especially the one employed by
the Daly-Hill-G Gibson combination OF
Great Falls.

THAT CONVENTION.

Ii ever u party was hooded" in
convention that was the experience oi
the Democrats of Fergus county last
Monday. A month ago it appeared
certain that Sheriff Deaton would re.
ceive u denomination which, from a
party standpoint, should have been
given him. Although Mr.. Gilkerson
had declared himself a candidate, he
was not regarded as "A very formidable
competition. Party precedent clearly
established Mr.. Deaton's claim for re,
nomination About two weeks it
was whispered about hal Ex-Sherih
and that he was working quietly for
the nomination. He soon became &C
tive in securing delegations favorable
to himself and by the time the conven.
ton met had the nomination in his
pocket. T. ]. Johns, who had at first
favored Gilkerson, then Deaton,
dropped the latter cold when ap-
preached by Sullivan and became one
of the latter's delegates from the Lew
istown precinct.
When the convention assembled it
was evident that the Sullivan-Johns
gang were determined TO run things,
which they did, as will be seen by the
proceedings. Everything was sacri-
feed for the head of the ticket and the
result is the weakest ticket from top
to bottom ever placed in nomination
in Fergus county. There is not a
strong man named for any office.
Prof. j. NJ. Parent, who is regarded as
almost irvincible by the people gener-
ally, is turned to the wall to give place
to F. A. Barnes, who is hardly known
outside of the Maiden precinct, and
who, a Democrat declared, "would not
begin to carry his own town." But Mr..
Barnes was given AS a sop TO satisfy
the demands of the Maiden delegation.
Some nominations we're made to con-
ciliate in certain quarters while others
were put up on purpose to be knocked
down. The nominee for clerk and re-
corder is incspacitated by old age and
inirmities for the office, while the
candidates for the legislature and
county commissioners are decidedly
weak.
The convention was in a jangle from
start TO finish, the better element con-
tending against the "clnchers." But
those who believed in a fair, open
manly contest were overwhelmed in
the b~alloting and the man who de-
clared several months ago that che ex-
pected to vote the straight Republican
ticket" got away with the nomination
for sheriff and ran the convention to
suit himself. 1t is a pretty mess.

it has been circulated freely among
those whom it is supposed can be pref
udiced against Helena by it, that the
main line of the Burlington, by the
efforts of Helena people, is likely to be
diverted from the Judith country to
Helena via the Montana Midland which
is now building from Helena toward
Castle. The truth is the Burlington
has no connection with the Midland,
which is an enterprise wholly fostered
and controlled by citizens Of Helena,
who have secured eastern capital for
the building of the line. Ii is proposed
that the Midland will intersectthe main
line of the Burlington AT some point in
the Judith basin, and thus give the peo-
pie Of this rich section an additional
outlet by rail to Helena, the west and
south. The Burlington, so far as
known, will carry out its plans to build
10y way of some of its surveyed routes
through the Judith country, and the
idea that Helena people are striving to
divert the road to their own town is
ouncombe of the flimsiest kind.
Of course the Anaconda cry of 'hog.
gish Helena" will be heard till after
election, and if it can be made to serve
the purpose of Anaconda, it will be
made to appear that at the next meet
ing of the legislature Helena people
will have a law enacted compelling the
removal of every court house in the
state to Helena, and it need moi sur
prise Fergus county people if they may
soon hear of Helena making arrange
ments to remove the mining camps o.
the Judith mountains to their city.
But the citizens OF Fergus county
will not be hoodwinked by any canard,
that may be put afioat by Days paic
boomers. They know that to tn,
efforts of of Helena citizens is due in 4
great measure the development of tn,
resources of the Judith country anl
the prosperity that is now enjoyed, ant
when the votes on the capital ar
counted in November next, it will b.
found that the dollars and the lies cir
culated throughout Fergus county il
the interest OF Anaconda will hav,
failed of having accomplished thei
mission.

N HUNT.

The Republican state convention has
done it's work we'll in re-nominating
Charles ). Hartman and placing Will
liam III. Hunt in nomination for asso-
ciate justice. Mr.. Hartman has made
a splendid record in congress for
a new member. He has always been
alert and industriously laboring for the
interests of Lis constituents. He is an
excellent speaker and a gentleman
who has a host Of personal friends
throughout the state.
Judge Hunt has made a brilliant
record on the bench in Lewis and
Clarke county, while his years of prac-
tice at the bar gave him an extensive
acquaintance throughout the state.
He is a young nan of fine abilities aud
will prove an honor to the bench.

RIGHT TO THE POINT.

The resolutions adopted by the state
Republican convention have the true
ring. The resolution on silver will re-
ceive the hearty support of every Re-
publican miner in Fergus county and
throughout the state. We believe it
will also meet the approval Of q great
many miners and prospectors who
have found Grover Cleveland and the
Democratic party false to silver in
every instance. The resolution OH sill
yer is as follows:
We demand the free and unlimited coin.
age OF silver at a ratio OF sixteen to one,
and the making of silver as well as gold a
legal tender in payment Of all depts, both
public and private; and we pledge our sen.
ators and representatives in congress to
the support OF the policy expressed in this
resolution, irrespective of the action o
Republican members from other sections
Of the union. We further demand that
this policy shall De established forthwith
by the independent action OF our govern
ment regardless OF what any other country
may or may not do.
We hereby pledge all Republican candi
dates for the legislature, if elected, to vote
only for such candidates for the United
States senate as are known from their rec
ord and past u~tterances to be uncom
promisingly in favor of such free coinage.
We denounce the action OF the president
Of the United States in failing to execute
for the period of four months before it's re
peal the provision Of the Sherman act lie
quiring the purchase OF four and one-hal
million ounces of silver per month as a fla
grant violation OF his duties and a usurpa
ton OF legislative authority.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1894-09-13

The chump who wrote the silver
resolutions of the Democratic platform
adopted last Monday must take the
people of Fergus county to be fools
The claim that the Republican party
was responsible for the repeal of the
Sherman law is a bit of demagogery
that the author should be ashamed Of
when everybody knows that Grover
Cleveland called congress together in
special session for that very purpose.
Cleveland attributed the panic to the
silver purchase clause of the law, en-.
tirely, differing very much from the
position taken by his supporter in the
resolution referred to. But the repeal
of the law did not bring prosperity, as
this Democratic president imagined
If Harrison had been elected president
We would have had no panic or finsn'
cial depression, and the silver purchase
clause would not have been disturbed.
Cleveland is nothing less than a gold
bag of the Wall street type. The peo'
pie cannot be fooled in this matter.
The Democracy has proved itself no
friend of silver.

TOLD BY DALY's BOOMERS.

1t is patent to the man oil ordinary
intelligence that Anrconda's fight fol
the capital is a bluff game, the rankness
of which cannot be disputed. Withou,
any substantial argument why any cit
izen Of the state outside of Anaconda
should vote for the place, Days paid
agents are at work trying to create
prejudice against Helena, in hope that
it will gain a few votes for the little viii
lage at the mouth of Warm Springs
canyon. Every string is being pulled
that in the least will turn the people
of eastern Montana against Helena.
Now it is one story, then it is another,
anything that will tend to create ILL.,
toward Helena and her citizens
One of the latest bugaboos of the
copper-collar gang which is especially
intended to have some little influence
upon the citizens of the Judith basin, is
the alleged attitude of the Helena peo-
pie in regard to the proposed building
Of the Burlington road through the
Judith country. Within the past week

If Maurice Sullivan thought that by
throwing the nomination for assessor
to Dave Deaton he would secure the
support Of Sheriff w. d. Deaton he is
mistaken. The combination made
against Mr.. Deaton was a disgraceiul
affair and will not soon be forgotten by
our sheriff. Mr.. Deaton entered the
race two years ago at the request OF
Mr.. Sullivan and after the latter's
chance of beating Mr.. Burg were about
gone. Deaton had a good position
and he did not want to enter politics
but in order to save the party he sscri-
feed himself. From the day of his
election Mr.. Deaton has had the i'll will
of Mr.. Sullivan and for many months
the avowed enmity. When the Gey-
ser was about to 60 under for want of
funds Mr.. Deaton placed himself in the
breach and loaned money to Mr.. Johns
to save the plant. Mr.. Deaton per-
sonally is a gentleman and has made
Fergus county as good a sheriff as did
Mr.. Sullivan At least. He was entitled
to denomination. But no, Sullivan
wants il. He knows he can't win but
he is determined to beat Deaton.
Johns flops over to Sullivan, and even
Deaton's under sheriff, who has been
saved from the poor house by our
sheriff, turns out against him. Deaton
could not do otherwise than withdraw,
but Sullivan o~verreached himself when
he threw the a~ssessorship nomination
rs q sop. !

have more organization, instead Of
less.
Its references to the "Bank" are, for
the most part, unjustifiable. Let the
Democrat answer this question: Could
any treasurer-elect Democrat or Re-
publican. secu reliable bondsmen, if
he were to let it be known that he
would not keep the funds oil the county
in the bank? Where else could he keep
them, at present? The county has no
safe place to keep them. Would the
Democrat advise that the county
should, at present, incur the expense
of placing such accommodations in
the court house? If so, let it say so
plainly.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is this: The Republicans have placed
in nomination a ticket that commends
itself to the confidence of all loyal
members of the party. 1t can be de-
feated only by disloyalty Dr. apathy,
caused by misrepresentation. The
Democrat sees clearly that only by
creating ard fostering d%issension
among Republicans, can it hope to de-
feat hat ticket. Let all loyal Repub-
licans see to it that its efforts shall
not be successful. And let the Demo-
crat accept the challenge to prove its
assertions, or stand convicted OF false
hood. We await the Democrats re-
ply. Let it not answer this challenge
with a TRADE of abuse and with eva
sion, but let 1t produce the proofs OF
| its statements.

The country is full Of them. They
do not know what it is to feel well
like other folks. Medicines of all
kinds have been tried without good
results. Cod Liver Oil and the prep
arations of Malt have all failed.
What is the reason? These ema-
ciated people cannot digest starchy
foods. The fat Of the body is pro-
dnced with bread, potatoes, and 9TH
er starchy food. If they will eat
food that is artifcially digested,
they will grow fat, strong, plump
and robust. They will commence
gaining flesh at once. This Flesh
