DUAL GOVERNMENT.

Honest differences Of opinion have ever
existed and ever will exist as to the most
effective means of securing domestic tran
guilty, but no citizcn fails to- recognize at
all times and under all circumstances the
absolute necessity for the prompt and Wig
orous enforcement Of law and the preser-
walton of the public peace. In govern
ment like ours law is but the crystalliza-
ton of the will of the people. Without 1t
the citizen is neither SECURE in the enjoy
1nent of life and liberty, nor protected IN
the pursuit of happiness. Without obe-
dience to law government Is impossible
The Democratic party is pledged to
defend the constitution and enforce
the law of the United States,
and it is also pledged to respect
and preserve the dual scheme Of govern
ment instituted by the founders of the
republic. The name, United States was
happily chosen. 1t combines the idea of
national strength with the idea of local
self government and suggests IAN indis-
soluble union of indestructible states. !"
Our revolutionary fathers, fearing the
tendencies toward Capitalization, as we'll
as the dangers of disintregration, guarded
against both, and national safety, as we'll
as domestic security, Is to be found in the
careful observance of the limitations
which they impose. 1t will be noticed
that while the United States guarantees
to every state republican form of gov
I eminent, and ia empowered to protect
each state against invasion, it Is not
authorized to interfere in the domestic
affairs of any state except upon appli.
cation of the legislature Of the state, OF
upon the application Of the executive
when the legislature cannot be convened
This provision rests upon the sound
theory that the people Of the state, acting
through their legally chosen representa-.
tives are, because Of their more intimate
4 acquaintance with local conditions, bet.
ter qualified than the president to judge
of the necessity for federal assistance
Those who framed our constitution wisely
determined to make as broad an applica
& ton Of the principles of local self govern
r1ent as circumstances would permit, ant
we cannot dispute the correctness of thu
position taken by them without express
ing listrust of the people themselves.

HELENA, Mon., Sept. 1O.-The Re-
publican state convention met here at
noon and accomplished nothing up to s
o'clock except to elect temporary Of
fcers and appoint q committee ON cre-
dentials. The inability Of the commit.
tee to come to any agreement prevented
its reporting, and after meeting and ad-
journed to meet at = O'Clock, at which
time the committee announced it would
be ready to report.
From the very start the gold and sill
yer factions locked horns, and up to
adjournment at 8 o'clock the silver men
had shown their majority over the gold
faction. United States Senator Man
lie, chairman Of the state central COM
mittee,
Addressed the Convention
almost an hour. He urged the dele
gates to carry out the plan recon-
mended in the report of the Butte con-
ference. That report recommended
both factions to remain together and
nominate state ticket and adopt q
platform excepting the financial clause,
when the silver men will withdraw and
each faction insert clause to it's ik-
ing, besides each nominating their own
congressman and set Of electors.
At the night session the convention,
by vote Of 1866 to 154, seated the Man.
tie contesting delegates from Butte,
giving the silver men absolute control
of the convention. The debate over
the matter was not as exciting as was
anticipated, the delegates having
Gained down before the night session
began. The appointment Of the COM
mittees finished the evening session.

PENSIONS.

No nation can afford to be unjust to its
defenders. The care Of those who have
suffered injury In the military and naval
service of the country is sacred duty. A
nation which, like the United States, re-
lies upon voluntary service rather than
upon large standing army, adds to it's
own security when it makes generous
provision for those who have risked their
lives in its defense, and for those who are
dependent upon them.
