SAID IN MISSOVLA.

Judge Francis was one of the ora
tors at the Missoula convention of last
Saturday. He defined his position in
these words: II will stand for silver
and for Montana as long as there is a
fighting show but should II come to a
choice between party and local inter
ests will stand by the party"
II is not right to define silver as a
local issue-Judge Francis implies that
II is local. Silver is in fact the one
great national issue of the year; al
though those who manage the affairs
of the republican party are seeking 20
divert public attention from that fact.
Mr.. Mckinley, who doubtless will be
nominated at st. Louis. has been sig
nally successful in stirring up a tariff
agitation.
In any event the political business
of the year for men who share the
view expressed by Judge Francis is
already defined. The republican con-
vention will be hostile to silver-the
cause of free coinage will be almost
friendless at st. Louis; hardly a dele
CATION there but is under Instructions
to vote for gold.
Meanwhile the press in the East is
watching it's opportunity to hurt the
cause of silver by quoting from the
silver states expressions like those
used In the Missoula republican con-
vention last Saturday. the aim being to
make VI appear that, after ALL the
Rocky mountain people are not very
ardent in their advocacy of free coin
age. The latest number of the New
York sun to reach this region has an
editorial paragraph which says: For
the moment a spirit of smooth equiv
ocation seems to be growing among
western republicans"
Unfortunately there is warrant for
this remark in view OF the fact that
the national conventions are near at
hand. there is significance in the
words. Unfortunately. too, they ne
veal spirit respecting the silver ques-
ton that ought not to pervade in Mon
tana.

Mr.. QUAY'S CASE.

Senator Quay finds himself kept busy
In the unpleasant work of making
denials Many of the newspaper cor
respondents have persisted in spread
ing the report that the senator has
made terms with Mckinley that a de-
livery of Pennsylvania's vote has been
agreed to and that Quay will be NOM
mated for vice president. All of which
Mr.. Quay vigorously denies, and his
denials are sustained by the testimony
of several senators who predict that
the Pennsylvania will be in the race
at the finish.
In instances IL has been alleged that
Governor McKinley's fri ads are re
sponsible for the recent rumors as to
Senator Quay's intentions. For their
part the Mckinley men resent this i'm
putation. Some of them add. how
ever. that their campaign is rapidly
reaching the point where IL becomes to
them a matter of indifference whether
Quay stays in or drops out.
Whatever course Mr.. Quay pursues,
IL must be admitted that he cuts
rather an amusing figure by pegging
along, in a race where the pace was
made too swift for a man like Speaker
Reed

MONDAY, MAY IL, 1896.
IN BUTTE TO-DAY.

Results scored last week in the Silver
Bow county convention simplify the
work of the republican state convention
TO be held to-day in Butte. The faction
in Silver Bow which had hoped to fight
Mantle and Carter was fairly and
squarely beaten last Thursday-there is
little likelihood of any controversy over
the selection of these gentlemen as del
egates to st. Louis.
However, the state convention will
probably be a lively affair Our repub-
lican friends have been trying to ar
range q silver-protection straddle. Their
proposition is to demand mot one but
both" They know that they can get
all the protection they want-the Nc
Kinley agents are ready and willing to
supply any quantity of that. But our
republican friends also know perfectly
well that they will get nothing what
ever for silver out of the st. Louis con-
vention; that will be a goldbug gath
ering.
We expect that to-day's proceedings
viii develop the presence in the con-
vention of a certain number of dele
gates who will be for silver through
thick and thin, for specific instructions,
for a walk-out or for any other plan
that would show loyalty to free coin
age. We do not presume. however.
that the delegates of this stripe will be

so far from being ardently for both"
are prepared to set free coinage aside.
1t would be strange indeed were the
nomination of Mckinley to be openly
advocated in the Butte convention. yet
that is likely to happen this very day.

ton in its downtown district" Lon
don is a conspicuous example. What
is known as Inner London" has with
in recent years dropped sixty-three per
cent. in population, while the outer
zone" which is served by omnibuses
and street cars, has increased in popu-
lation from 100000 in 1861 to 100000
in 1891. The "outer ring" the territory
served by suburban trains. has in
creased in population from 100000 In
1861 TO 100000 in 1891. Still another
section, the ''outermost zone" has in
creased in population faster than any
other. All of which is healthful and
encouraging sign of city life.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-05-11
CITY POPULATIONS.

The Massachusetts state census for
1895. which is now being published,
shows an increasing tendency of the
population to collect in the larger cit
les. The small towns of Massachusetts,,
those under 5000 as well as the coun-
try districts. are steadily declining in
in population. OF the total gain In
population since 1886 of 560,359, the
cities of more than 5000 had 521, 7s4,
leaving only $3.50 TO be divided among
3o4 towns. and of these towns 143 have
declined in population since 1885.
The Springfield Republican doesn't
like this condition OF things. 1t declares
that '%his declining population means
a shrinkage in real estate values in the
place affected, a decline of the COM
munity spirit. more burdensome tax
rate and generally more dtscouraging
conditions of life.'" The Cleveland
Plain Dealer. on the other hand. takes
a more cheerful view. believing
that electric railroads are going to
bring the country and city into close
and harmonious relations. It points
out that these electric lines would be
an important factor In rendering feas-
fble a plan which Mr.. John W. Book
walter. the Springfield. Ohio. million
aire, proposes to try. He owns large
tracts OF land in Nebraska and I'LL
nois. He believes that by concentraa-
ing the rural population in towns OF
from 500 to 5000 persons life will be
made more pleasant and perhaps farm
work more remunerative He will be-
gin by organizing a town on the tract
of land of $1,000 acres in Nebraska,
which he owns. The town will have
library. theater and other places OF at
traction. Whether this plan succeeds
or not, IL is clear that the farmers of
the future will enjoy much more than
those of the past the advantages OF
city life"
While IL is true that the cities are
relatively increasing faster in popula-
ton than the rural districts. account
should be taken OF the interesting and
cheering fact that II is the suburbs of
the cities that are growing, not their
business or densely populated districts
