THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET,

the voters Of Montana have another seri-
GUS matter to dispose Of On November 6.
On that date they will be called upon to
elect representative in congress. MEM
bers of the state legislature and full
list of county officers. The duty is GER
tainIy one Of grave importance and
should be approached with due consider
alton. To large extent the issues in
volved are national, and for this reason
care, judgment and patriotism should
influence the elector. The represen-
tative in congress will be elected by the
direct vote of the people, and upon the
delegates to the legislative assembly will
devolve the duty Of electing two United
States senators to represent Montana.
The question to be considered in the
selection of these gentlemen is which Of
the three parties will best serve the in
terests Of the state, and The TRIBUNE
has no hesitation in answering, the
democratic. In spite Of populist pre-
tensions to the contrary the democratic
party is today, as it has ever been, the
party of the people. In spite Of the
populist pretensions that it will be a
factor in the contest, it can safely be
asserted that vote cast for the populist
candidates will be a vote thrown away.
There is no Disgusting the fact, the bat
tie is between the two old parties and il
the people of Montana are true to them
selves aud their interests there will be q
democratic triumph. 1t is as certain as
it is that an election will be held that
the next congress will be democratic,
and it is to our best interest to be repre-
sented on the majority side. 1t is beyond
question that the republican party, as
expressed by Senator Jones, is the unal-
terable foe of free coinage, and all know
that the democratic battle cry in most
Of the states is free and unlimited coin.
age, and that it is our duty to aid those
who are fighting the battle Of our most
important industry. With democratic
majority in congress free coinage will be
an accomplished fact during the next
session, and this state will to greater
extent than any other feel the wonder
full impulse that it will give to every pro
ducing industry in the land.
