The Austin Company makes u

the basis of their success, giving the

The Rest of Proof.

From the Marysville Mountaineer.
The action OF the democrats In max
ing no congressional nomination upon
the apportionment to them of this Of
flee by the fusion as entered into at
Missoula Is n well merited compliment
of all Montana to Hon. Charles S.
Hartman's services In behalf of the in
terests of the state. A nomination for
congress of another by that conven-
ton was equivalent to an election, as
the republican party will be too badly
demoralized to elect a single nominee
on their state ticket this year. Instead
OF urging the nomination Of a man of
their creed heretofore the democratic
party realized that new issues are be-
fore the people and that Hartman's
name is the synonym in Montana of
the most prominent of these for which
the party stands to-day. Not only will
theii Endorsement of Hartman return
20 congress one who has been tried and
found true TO silver. but II will permit
him to raise his voice in behalf of this
cause In other sections where that elo-
quence which is his is sorely needed.
The vituperation that the gold repub-
licans heap upon the democrats for
their action is proof positive OF Its
strength and wisdom.

IT SUITS The PEOPLE.
MONTANAS PRESS AS GOOD AS A UNIT ON THE ACTION
OF THE STATE CONVENTION AT MlSSOULA

The people of Montana have been
heard from through the press of the
state. The approval of Hartman's
candidacy makes the opposition to him
of absolutely no account. From the
cities and towns and counties and
communities. east. west, north, south,
come words commencing the course
pursued in the democratic state con-
vention, in the populist convention and
in the convention Of the silver repub-
licans. Public opinion was faithfully
reflected In the action taken by the
delegates In these conventions. Mr..
Hartman did the right thing by the
people, both at Washington and st.
Louis. In turn. the press of Montana
"does him proud" Here are the re-
marks of some Of the Montana editors
in regard to Mr.. Hartman's candidacy
and the manner In which 1t was
brought about:

Patriotism Above Party.

FROM the Nelndrt Miner.
Both the democratic and populist
state conventions have placed them
selves on record as'determined to unite
all the silver forces Of the state re-
gardless of any past or present politi-
cal affiliations. In refusing to place
any candidate in the field against
Congressman Hartman they have
shown themselves capable OF rising
above mere partisanship when patriot
ism and the welfare OF the people Of
Montana and the United States de-
manded that they should do so. This
action on the part Of these two con-
ventlons will be lndorsed not only by
the members OF the two political par
ties in the state, but II will be cheer
ing news TO those who are battling for
silver the country over. II shows to
the people OF the United States that
out here the people are in earnest on
this money question and will not brook
any diversion no matter what might
be the temporary partisan advantage.
AS a political move the conventions
also acted wisely, and their action
makes doubly sure the election Of the
entire fusion ticket. besides helping

Number One for Hartman.

From Vol. l., No. I, Shelby Ell Dill
lard's The Whole Truth.
We take great pleasure in placing
the name Of the Hon. Charles s. Hart
man for congress at the mast head of
The Whole Truth. 1t is our intention
to give him our earnest support for
congress. This gentleman has been the
most untiring and faithful worker for
silver in the state. His course In con-
gress has been honest. brilliant and
able. For true blue honor and integ-
rity he is a model; in common unaf-
fected horse sense he is like Abe Lin
coin. Who knows but what this young
statesman may some day accomplish
as much for the American people.
Charley Hartman Is intellectually the
peer of any man in this great state OF
intellectual giants. His honesty is to
be most commended. No man ever
achieved greatness who was dishonest.

From the Billings Times.

From the BILLINGS Times.
Candor compels us to say that We re-
gret exceedingly the stand taken by
Mr.. Goddard in renouncing the friend
ship for silver which he formerly pro-
fessed, and which he professed so late
as last June, when he was candidate
for delegate to the st. Louis conven-
tlon, and in Joining the forces of its
arch-enemies. His candidacy will
have no more effect on the tremendous
majority which Montana will roll up
for Charley Hartman. while he is fight
ing the battle OF the people In the
doubtful states, than King CaRute's
command to the wild waves of the in
coming tide to cease in their course. 1t
is to be regretted that Mr.. Goddard
had not run for some non-political Of
flee, where he could have obtained a
more convincing proof of his personal
popularity. for we fear that even In his
own county his vote will under the cir
cumstances not be a fiattering one.

In this event he would have the field

The Venezuelan Commission Promises 20
Report by December.

Report by December.
Washington, Sept 25.-The report of
the Venezuelan commission appointed
last January to investigate the British
Venezuelan boundary dispute. proba-
bly, will be made to the president
shortly before congress convenes In
December. II was expected that the
report might be ready by Nov. 1, but
complications In connection with the
work In Holland have caused the de-
lay. The several members Of the COM
mission have been at work on different
branches of the subject all summer,
with a view to reaching a decision as
early as possible. Justice Brewer, the
chairman of the commission, has called
meeting of the commission for Oct.
.. and II was thought that at that
meeting the necessary data could be
submitted and decision arrived at
All the work of the members OF the
commission has been arranged with
this purpose in view.
The material collected In Spain by
the British and Venezuelan govern
ments relative to the original Spanish
possessions In the territory In dispute
and the material from the propaganda
at Rome, where the records OF the old
Catholic commissioners are kept, Is In
the possession of the commission and
copies were distributed TO the MEM
bers as rapidly as they We're obtained.
This material with the exception of
some documens which Frederick Cou-
dert, one of the members. will bring
with him from Rome. is complete. The
prospective delay will be incident 10
the work OF Professor Baer, who has
been charged with the task OF ran
sacking the Dutch archives In Holland.
Professor Baer was instructed TO make
most thorough search for anything
that might have n bearing on the SUBJ
ject and to obtain accurate copies OF
all documents. His Investigations led
him 10 London. Jusice Brewer yester-
day received a cablegram from him
saying that his work in London had
been completed and that he would re-
turn to Holland. but could not finish
before the middle OF october. This in
formation was a disappointment TO
Justice Brewer, who had hoped that
all the original matter would be In
hand by Oct. g. However, the COM
mission can proceed with the examina-
tion of the other material until Pro-
fessor Baer arrives, the latter part OF
October. Professor Baer has kept
Justice Brewer informed OF the prog
ress OF the work and his information
has been promptly distributed among
the members OF the commission, but,
as Justice Brewer says, In the decl-
sion OF a question of such grave i'm
portance and far-reaching effects. each
member will be obliged to examine the
documents for himself.

The Voters Son-rartisan.

From the Livingston Enterprise.
The inconsistency Of those democrats
who are opposing the election Of Con-
gresham Hartman because he de-
clines TO be a democrat and basing
their opposition on the ground that he
should remain nonpartisan is one OF
the remarkable features OF this most
remarkable campaign. II is equalied
only by the goldbug republican organs
who intimate that they will assist In
the election Of free trade democratic
silver men In order to defeat protec-
ton silver republican. But the large
majority OF the voters OF Montana are
the true nonpartlsans and they will
defend the political fortunes Of Mr..
Hartman from attacks OF both free
trade democrats and misguided repub-
licans.

Chairman Jones and Hartman.

tIlt ais
Chairman Jones of the democratic
national committee showed his broad
minded principles when he telegraphed
the Missoula convention that it was
his desire that no opposition to the
reelection of Congressman Hartman of
this state should come from the demo-
Gratis. The conduct OF the democrats
in this campaign, when II comes to a
question Of the success OF the great
principles contained In the Chicago
platform. shows that they are actuat-
ed, not by desire to secure office or
party patronage. but the triumph Of
right and the emancipation of the
masses from the rule of the classes.
In this respect the action Of the demo-
Gratis of this county will present a
shining contrast to the republicans. as
represented in their state convention.
unless all present indications should
prove wrong.

Fusion Was Quite Proper,

From the Boulder Age:
The fusion of democrats and popu-
lists In this state on presidential cleo
tors and state ticket seemed to be
quite easily accomplished and the di-
vision was quite fairly made. They
did a magnanimous thing in failing to
nominate a candidate for congress.
thus leaving the field open for Mr..
Hartman. who will now get the united
silver vote OF the state and be elected
by big majority, thus enabling him
TO spend the campaign aiding the sill
yer cause In the East where mission
airy work Is needed, and showing the
states endorsement of the stand he
took for the interests of silver.

Hartman's All Right.
From the Belt Valley Times:

From the Belt Valley Times:
The actions Of the populists and
democratic state conventions are GER
tainly commendable and insures the
success Of the entire state ticket. The
tribute paid Charley Hartman for his
honesty and manliness In deserting the
single standard monopolists and COM
ing out for bimetallism in bold defiance
OF national bloodsuckers and the ad-
vice and threats Of rusty politicians
should and has been respected by the
people Of Montana, who have placed
themselves on record as such who
esteem principle above party Hartman
Is all right and his unanimous cleo

creditable events in the history Of our
state.

IL Will Helm Eryan.

From the Virginia City Madisonian:
The Madisonian extends its greeting
and congratulations to the state DEM
ocracy upon its fairness in not naming
a candidate in opposition to Mr.. Hart
man. Montanans can afford to be re-
cippocal on any proposition involving
the welfare of silver, and the action
of the Missoula convention in this mat
ter will do more towards increasing the
Bryan vote in this state than anything
that has yet occurred during this cam
paign.

Democracy Was True.

From the Bozeman Chronicle:
The democracy Of Montana has been
true to its word true to itself: true to
the people OF this commonwealth. and
true to the great principle OF silver.
After the most exciting. vehement, tu-
multuous and tempestuous contests in
the history of democratic conventions
in this state, Charles S. Hartman, the
republican congressman, was endorsed
and virtually made the nominee Of the
democratic party. as well as Mon
tanas congressman for the two years
after next March.
