The revolt Of the sugar planters of
Louisiana is thought by some to mark
the beginning of the break from the
Democracy in the southern states. To
blindly adhere to the old Bourbon creed,
to longer support an antedeluvian SEN
timent while their industry is being
crippled, if not destroyed, is too much
to expect of any people, and the Loui-
siana planters show their independence
and disgust by coming out square
footed for the Republican policy of
protection. There are several other
southern states where the light is break
ing through the clouds, and there are
good prospects of the revolt being per-
manent. The great questions before
the country now are purely industrial
and financial, and people north and
south are beginning to find out that
they nor their industries cannot pros
per IN an exploded sentiment.

Governor Mckinley was given a most
cordial reception at st. Louis, members
of both Political parties calling to do
him honor. Among the number was
Ex-Governor Francis, the popular
young Democratic leader of Missouri.
AS he left the room in which the great
protectionist was receiving, he re-
marked to his companion There is
a man who wears the best affidavit
face / ever saw. The man who looks
him in the face would never doubt his
honesty and sincerity" This is evil
dence that the garden wall of politics is
not always covered with thorns and
nettles.

HARTMAN's SPEECH.

The large audience which greeted
evening and the close attention given
to his mastery address, demonstrated
that the people have been doing some
serious thinking in the past eighteen
months. Mr.. Hartman depicted, with
telling force, the condition of the labor
ing people in the manufacturing dis
tricts of the east and the distress caused
by idle factories and smokeless Chin
neys. Not only in the east hut all over
the country there have been failures
and business depression. Men who
think more of their business and their
families than they do OF the success Of
any party, are going to vote for an in
dustrial policy that will not only bring
but retain prosperity in all sections of
United States. Those who heard Mr..
Hartman felt hat Montana had an
earnest and sincere champion in the
halls of congress, not only in defense of
one industry, but of all. No one went
away in doubt as to his position on sill
yer. He has worked necessarily for the
metal and his faith in the ulti-
triumph of the silver men is i'm
plicit. Mr.. Hartman believes that the
national platform of 1896
will contain a plank calling for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at q
.atio of 16 to 1, and at the present rate
