While the old saying, Figures won
lie ls true, it is also true that figure
can, and often are, used to misrepreseDt
facts, This is made painfully apparent
by The elaine set forth by the manage.
Of tie Mckinley and anti-M Kinley fac
tiona MS TO the number Of votes each Side
will havo at the st. Louis convention. A.
IA pGrt of the plan Of campaign Of the
ONO man, the state conventions have
been secured to instruct the delegates to
vote for Mckinley, and on the strength
OF this, the entire delegation, district, rs
we'll as the delegates at large, have been
placed in tho Mckinley column, and
make 3 formidable showing. On tha
other hand, The anti Mckinley managnr
insists that these CLAIMS are lar in r<.
cess of the real strength Of the
Ohio man; that the unit rule is not reucg-
nihed IN republican conventions; that IA
state convention can only bind tho dele
gates at large, whom it elects, and tLat
the uninstruGted delegates from TIE
different districts are at liberty to vote
for whom they choose, and that Me-
kiniey will not be the man. Ia the
Mckinley list are also TO he found fire
names OF delegations from several south
ern states in which there are contest.
These conteets will primarily be paeaad
upon by q subcommittee OF the n~Rtiof,l
committee which will make up the Coll
v%ention roll, and much depends usan
how its members feel upon the Ruhicul.
Further and more important than l0t-
10 the Woll-lounded belief that when the
convention meets the opposition will be
~abundantly supplied with funds 10 u-u
where they will do the most good. lr
to date the Mckinley forces have haU q
monopoly Of money and have eXpeLG d
it layishly, especially in the gout... II
Sherman, .Algcr and other republican
statesmen who have had presidential NE
pirations are to be believed, this southern
vote is always in the market, ard IT,;
last mar who buys it gets il.
These are a few Of the rcasons that
stand behind the serene assertions OF
the political managers that Mckinley
viii not be nominated. Still another
and a powerful weapon is now being dis
played. 1t is a threat on the part Of
"Boss' I'iatt that if the Ohio man is
the candidate the election il New York
can go by default so far as ne ,I'Iattl is
concerned. This may only be a bluff,
yet it will have some effect. All in all,
the situation il becoming decidedly in
teresting, and the one feature that
stands out in bold relief is that platt,
Quay, Manley and Clarksou and the
other bosses will not cease fighting Nc
kinney until his nomination is an accom-
plished fact.

While the vexcd school question in
Manitoba doesnot occupy as much space
IN the newspapers as formerly, it has not
yet been settled by any means. In fact,
1T is as live and burning as ever in Man
ltoba. 10 this, as to most other ques-
tons, thcre are two sides, and it ia safe
TO say that a majority Of Americans
have only heard one. For the benefit of
the readers of THE TRIBUNE who are
thus ignorant we quote from a speech
made by Sir Charles Topper, the new
Canadian premier, at Winnipeg a week
ago. Sir Charles said;
This Catholic school question lies at
the very foundation of our national ex-
%istence. At the time Of the confedera-
ton OF Canada, Sir Alexander Gault,
who, with me-, was one OF the trainers OF
The Cahadian constitution, demanded
protection for minorities in the matter of
schools. This demand was made from a
Protestant source, in the interests of
Professionals, who then were the minority.
The demand was granted. and now there
is tho compact, there is the bond,
The province has power to deal with ed
ucatlonal matters, subject 70 the impor-
tant restrictions ID the confederation act
and The Manitoba act protecting minori-
ties. If Quebec in'erfered with the privi-
leges of the Protestant minority it would
lose its right to act exclusively, and the
duty would devolve on the federal
powers to defend the minority. The case
is exactly the same 10 Manitoba"
This puts a different face on the mat
ter. 10 say nothing of the Iaw Of the
case, comlnon fairness suggests that the
present minority should be accorded
the same rights they granted when they
wore in Il majority. AS a general propo-
We believe it would be for the
best interests Of all parties to the con-
troversy ii one general uon-seclnrian
public school system were maintained
throughout the Dominion, but in the
light OF the explanation given by the
premier, there seem tenabIe grounds
for the division of the funds insisted
upon 10y the Catholics.

tence the commodore was wide Of the
mark. He didn't give Mckinley credit
for the strength he had among the re-
publican manipulators, for he knows
now that it would have been ar easy
job to have gotten Mckinley resolutions
through the convention. In the last
sentence, though, Mr.. Power stumbled
on the truth. The people of Montana,
neither the wool men, nor the agricul-
turist, nor the miners will secure any re
lief by the election of Mckinley. lie
will fool them. Should he be elected,
his business will be TO use his position
to fattcn the bankers and m4nufactur-
ers of the cast, only this and nothing
more. SO long as the capitalists thrive
the people may suffer, and they deserve
TO suffer if they elect him.

1t being conceded that the st. Louis
convention will adopt a gold platform or
its equivalent, the goldbugs of both
parties are now bending all their ener-
gles to prevent a free coinage majority
in the Chicago gathering. While they
hardly hope to succeed, they are making
o&tTavagant claims in that direction in
the hope that their bluetcr will have
some influence in the state democratic
convensionb yet to be held. In the
meantime, in order to save themselves
from the crash if possible, the goldbug
press is now busily engaged in calling
attention to the fact that for many years
democratic conventions have been con
Quoted under the two third rule, and
that it would be an objectionable sin to
make any innovation on the rule. In the

proposition they talk OF time honored
customs, fcalty TO traditions, and hint
that a change would be revolutionary
The fact is, the rule is u~ndemocratic.

is any enc well defined democratic prin-
cip)e it is that the majority should rule.
From present appearances it is certain
that at Chicago neither side will have IA
two-third vote, and that being the case,
it will be impossible TO advpt a platform
or nominate Il candidate. A convention

which govern il, and in This case the
majority will proceed to decide
that a majority vote shall govern. In
this way, and in this way only, can the
business Of the convention be transacted,
and, no matter what the outcome, the
Chicago convention, or "A majority Of if.

HE proceedings Of the Montana re.
publican state convention show that the
leaders have determined to maintain the
party organization in the state. 70
what extent? is 1.-THE question, While
the delegates to 81, Louis were not in
structed, i! is certain that there was q
Mckinley undercurrent in the body
that it took much tineasing to prevent
from breaking out, This sentiment was
modified By. the strong protective reso-
lutions adopted. for those who favored
Mckinley properly argued that they were
at least an indirect Endorsement of their
man. The English Of it all is that
the convention practically decided
to suppoTtG the Ohio mar and sub.
ordinate free coinage to a tariff that
Will suit the wooIgroWere. In doing
this the Montana republicans have stul-
titled themselves. They have insisted
all along that free coinage is The para
mount Issue and must take precedence
OF all others; that the mpaign should
he fought on that line and none other;
that with the financial matter settled,
all others could and would receive at
tentlon. This has been their cry, but
at the first opportunity to show fight
they turned tail ana ran. Before them
was d principle well worth fighting for;
behind them the possibilities of a little
patronage, and for the latter they sur.
rendered the former. To what
extent the great mass Of re-
publlcans will follow tho politi-
clans into tho Mckinley camp remains
to be seen. We do not believe that the
Mckinley electoral ticket can by any
possibility carry Montana; but. if the
convention resolutions be an index. i

vaccilating and unreliable; that he is
wearing honors not his own, and has de-
cended to making promises that he does
not expect or intend to fulfill. To sum
1T up, in the eyes of Plat, Mckinley is
no good. The record proves that the
New York man is right in the estimate
he places upon the Napoleon, but the
trouble is, he cannot got a majority OF
the delegates to the convention to agree
with him. In that respect, Mckinley
has the bulge. He may lose it, for all
things are possible in politics; especially
republican politics, but the chances are
he will win-the nomination, not the
election That is an entirely different
matter,

The Cascade county democratic central
committee has, by ite chairman, issued a
call for a mass convention of democrats,
which ID printed this morning, As will
be seen, the meeting is TO be held 10
Great Falls, June 6, and the object is to
elect 20 delegates to the Btatc convention
at Butte, June 20. which viii in turn
elect six delegates to the national demo
cratic convention to be held At Chicago.
Tho plan to hold a mass convention in
stead OF a delegate convention was de-
termincd upon after duo consideration,
and will, it is believed, meet With the
approval of democrats throughout the
county. just at present and at the
date named is a busy time with
most members of the party who
live in the outlying precincts. To at
tend primaries in the first place aud then
to come to Great Falls to d convention
would occupy more time and entail a
greater expense than most men can af
ford. In this call ample time has been
given for democrats in the various pre-
cincts to talk the matter over, and it is
earnestly hoped that one or more repre-
sentatives of every precinct will find it
convenient to be present and participate
IN the proceedings, and also to indicate
their preferences for delegates. No mat
ter who may 90, they cannot fail to rep
resent the sentiment Of the party, for it
is q unit IN the proposition that
free coinage is the paramount issue.
The later convention, at which the county
ticket will be nominated, will be com
posed OF delegates chosen in accordance
with usage and the primary law, and it
will be its duty to nam the winning
ticket.
Now that the political campaign ia
about to be opened, let democrats all
over the county appreciate the fact that
there has been a most pronounced growth
IN democratic sentiment since the last
election and that it is still progressing.
Public opinion has undergone d radical
change, and this will be intensified after
tho republican national convention shall
have declared for a gold standard and
nominated a goldbug candidate, which
it will surely do. Montana will not
