THAT FREE SiLVER pLEDG E.

The silver republicans of Cascade
county have met and indorsed the regu-
lar republican county ticket, subject to
pledge that is to be exacted of the
candidates. Talk about pledges, the
one in question takes front rank as a
binder. 1t ties a man down go hard
that after once submitting to be bound
by it he has no chance of ever being un-
tied. Just read it. "We, the under
signed, hereby pledge ourselves that we
believe in the free and unlimited coinage
of silver: that we will do all that lies in
our power to assist and bring about such
coinage"
Who couldn't or wouldn't eign such u
document? What does 1t amount to?
OF course the candidates are in favor of
free coinage-in their minds-but the
point is, what will they do to secure it?
There is but one test in this etate, a vote
for Bryan electors and Hartman for con-
gress. This is all there is to it. A vote
for Mckinley and Goddard is vote for
the single gold standard and the man
who casts any such ballot is an enemy to
the interests of the country and state. The
issue is too clearly drawn to admit OF
evasion. Because Alec Botkin says he
| is free coinage man and will vote for
Mckinley it does not prove that he is
consistent; it only proves that he is at
tempting monumental strsddle in the
hope OF securing votes. However, If the
test as adopted suits the silver republic
ans Of Cascade county it suits us. II
cannot save the ticket they have in
dorsed and makes them appear all the
more ridiculous.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-18

Our friends, the republicans of Cas-
cade county, are very much disgruntied
over the fusion that has been accom-
plished between the democrats and pop
ulists on the county ticket. No wonder.
1t means defeat to the republican candi-
dates and disappointment to their
friends. Why shouldn't it? Independ-
ent of the false party creed they are fol-
lowing all of these gentlemen have been
loud in professions for the free coinage
of silver. If there be any one matter of
vital Importance to the vast majority in
this state it is the SUCCESS of the Bryan
Sewall ticket. AS compared with that
petty Offices are as nothing save to those
who seek to occupy them. Yet, where
republican ticket at this trying junct-
ure? Instead of boldly declaring that
they are for Bryan and Sewall and Hart
man we find them dodging behind straw
promises and even refusing to sign q
most childish and ridiculous pledge
that they favor silver. They will nc
doubt follow the lead OF the republican
candidate for governor, Alec l'otkin, and
vote for Mckinley and Goddard. That
10 the kind Of free coinage men they are
They will not fool anyone by the double
game they are playing. A roll call is in
order that the voters may know just
where candidates stand on this great
question. No genuine free coinage mar
can vote for Mckinley. Oil and water
will not mix.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-18
WOOL AND h'IiINLEY.

The few republicans in Montana who
are advocating the election of Mckinley
do SO solely on the ground that he is a
high protectionist and in the event of
his election the Mckinley bill would be
restored. With these gentlemen pro-
lection simply means duty on WOOL
1t has been pointed out to these gentle
men time and again that even with the
success of Mckinley there is no inten-
ton on the part of the republicans to
restore the act that bears his name. 1t
was admittedly and notoriously failure
and would have been repealed by the
republicans had they remained in power.
Another thing that has been pointed out
TO them is that the depression is due
primarily to the demonetization Of sill
yer and not to the tariff, and until the
financial situation is cleared there can
be no prosperity, and that it can only be
cleared by restoration OF free coinage.
These gentlemen must also bear in mind
that, no matter what tie election bringe
forth, there can be no tariff eglsla-
ton of any character that is not
accompanied with free coinage. The
senate stands today and will stand for
three years at least just where it stood
when the Dipgley bill was defeated, and
for that period at least there will be no
Legislation that does not strike at the
root of the evil and restore the money Of
the constitution. This being the case,
why not aid the silver cause by voting
for Bryan, and when financial legislation
shall have started the people on an up
ward course wool will receive attention
and will share in the general prosperity,
for all prices must go up with resump-
tion OF business. On the other side,
with continuation of the gold standard
there Is no hope for the revival of any
industry. Even under the existing con-
ditions and as applied to wool the gold
standard is a positive injury. For in
stance, 5 cents Of gold in New York will
purchase 8 cents of silver bullion, which
is worth as much today in Asia AS
it ever was; hence, New England wool
broker can for cents, buy wool in Asia
that is nominally selling there for 9
cents, less freight and insurance, the
effect being that Montana man must
accept cents for wool that the Asatic
gets 8 cents for. II our woolgrowing
friends will look into this they will see
that under the gold standard they are
not only meeting free trade rates on wool
but standard that pays 0 cents in
| China against 5 cents in Montana.

CASCADE COUNTY TICKET,

A fusion ticket for county officers,
composed of democrats and populists of
Cascade county, will be found in an
other column of THE TRIBUNE. The
combination ticket is the result of a
number of conferences held between the
executive committees of the two parties,
and is the outgrowth OF sentiment
upon the part OF nine tenths of the
voters that there should be union Of
the forces for the campaign. With
such ticket in the field the
success Of all the candidates is
reasonably assured. That it was made
possible, is due to the gentlemen who
had been nominated for the various Of
tices by the respective conventions.
Each OF them, with one exception, hand
ed in his resignation Internationally
to the committee, in order that the work
could be done without regard to indi-
vidual preferences and for the best in
tereets of all For the sacrifices these
gentlemen made in eurrendering their
claims they are entitled to the
respect and good wishes OF their
associates of both parties, and
have earned the right to proper recogni-
ton in the future AS the case now
stands, the new ticket can 60 before the
people with the certainty of an indorse-
ment at the polls. 1t deserves and will
meet with success, In deciding to fuse
the democrats and populists of Cascade
county have followed an example set in
national, state and local tickets else
where, and will meet with approval.
The personnel Of the ticket is good,
and now that the question is settled
The TRIBUNE will have much to say
for it during the campaign.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-18

Gen Palmer, candidate OF the Indian
apoli5 convention, whose honest soul re-
bells at the idea of silver dollar and
whose patriotic impulses are stirred at
the thought Of the anarchietic express
sions of the Chicago platform, has a
past, and written one ut that, which he
cannot dodge. lie is on record as favor
ing free coinage and made one of the
most emphatic speeches that was made
in favor of the Homestead rioters at the
time of the great troubles. In both
these instances Mr.. Palmer was right,
but if he was right then he is surely
wrong now, and the people have right
to ask why be has changed his mind.
Further than this, when Mr.. Palmer was
elected to the United States senate it
was with the aid of populist votes
and under certain pledges that
he did not fulfill. Yet he dares
stand before the country and
pose as an honest man and expect peo
pie to believe him. His case lie paral-
lei with that of Cleveland. who, for his
second term, forced his nomination upon
the convention and then deliberately ig-
nored the platform upon which he stood.
He, too, talks of being honest and in
dorses Palmer. In each case the path
way of these men to political power and
preferment is strewn with broken prom
ises, or, what may be more properly
called, political perjury. Neither one Of
them is today power for good or evil
in the political world yet their assump-
tons of virtue are becoming so nauseat-
ing that it is excusable to call attention
to their Hypocrisy
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-18

Alex Botkin, republican candidate for
governor, attended the st. Louis con-
vention as a national mmitteeman
and while there declared that the peo-
pie Of Montana would vote for yellow
dog rather than a goldbug. This same
Alex Botkin stood in the Helena conven-
ton and announced that he would vote
for Mckinley, who he knows is gold
bug, and in go doing made q goldbug of
himself. The fact is, both Mckinley
and Botkin surrendered their convic-
tions to secure their nominations. When
election day comes Mr.. Botkin will dis
cover that the people Of Montana will
not vote for goldbug nor will they have
to vote for yellow dog. They will vote
for Bryan for president and Bob Smith
for governor, and both will be elected.

n CO MHAkIsON.

While the republicans Of Montana
were showing the white feather at the
Helena convention in the vain hope of
saving the nominees on the state ticket,
the republicans OF Colorado were also
in session. In Colorado, as in Montana,
there are a handful Of goldbugs, but
they were not in evidence at Denver.
The majority did not listen to any
threats or abuse, They did what, as a
majority, they had a right to do-spoke
for the party in the state, indorsed Bryan
and Sewali, Senator Teller, and Con-
gresemen Bell and Shafroth, and nomi-
mated state ticket. II the minority in
Colorado, under the lead of the brilliant
and heretofore popular Wolcott see fit
to name Mckinley ticket they have the
privilege OF so doing, but they we're not
conceded the right to take charge Of the
regular republican convention, nor should
the minority in this state have been
granted that extraordinary privilege.
They will not appreciate the spirit OF
the convention, but will use it as club
with which to hammer Hartman aud
those who we're his friends.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-18
SUDDEN FLOP,

Prior to the Helena convention, the
Benton River Press, The Yellowstone
Journal and the Billings Gazette all vo-
ciferously declared "no Organized repub-
lican shall be elected to any office in the
state of Montana" Each of the papers
named was vindictive in it's denuncia-
tions Of the silver republicans, especially
Mantle and Hartman. Since the con-
vention, however, the papers named have
all changed their tune. They see things
through different light, They are eat
ing humble pie in the hope that at q
later date they may get political pie of Il
more substantial character. All of them
are Jealous advocates of the state repub.
lican ticket as nominated at Helena;
they have even ceased to abuse Hart
man, and now talk about honest differ
ences of opinion. Why this change Of
sentiment, they do not explain.
Certain it is the ticket contains the
names of some Bryanized republicans,
and the action of the convention has not
altered the opinion Of the nominees in
the least. H. looks as though the Nc
Kinley newspapers are crawtishing, They
made big bluff, demanded everything
in sight, got nothing, and are now craw-
fishing, 1t is true measly minority was
given an opportunity to name Mckinley
electors and u candidate for congress. In
all other respects they were sat down
upon. II this satieties them they are
eaElly satisfied. They asked for whole
loaf, and failing to get it, are on their
hands and knees picking up the crumbs.
Never was there 80 inglorous an ending
to SO vainglorious beginning. All this
leads to tho conclusion that when the
gentlemen who conduct the papers
named reached the convention they
discovered there were a large
number of republicans in Montana
who do not live at Benton, Miles
or Billings and that Hartman and the
Bryan electoral ticket we're sure to carry
the state by an overwhelming majority.
With this suddenly acquired knowledge
staring them in the face they decided
that policy would pay better than prin-
ciple and hauled in their horns. Now
they have nothing to say against Hart
man and are doing their best to elect the
Organized republicans on the ticket.
They will not succeed, and the only
reason for calling attention to the new
departure is to show the stamina or lack
of it on the part Of the Mckinley press
Of Montana. AS it is with the neWa-
papers so it is with individual republic
ans who claim to be FOR Mckinley. The
goldbug cause is againet the best inter.
esta Of the state and country; those en-
gagged in it know they are wrong, and
they know further, or should be made to
realize, that they have no rights or claims
that any loyal citizen of the state, NO
matter what his politics, should respect
or recognize,

UNIONISM IN CANTON,

The Associated Press continues to
send out graphic accounts Of the delega-
tions of workingmen who daily visit
Canton for the alleged purpose Of pay
ing their respects to Mckinley, The
dumbcst man in politics knows these
excursions are gotten up and paid for
by the republican national committee,
and the men are virtually coerced into
accompanying them by the employers.
The dodge ie thin one and is getting
rather stale. 1t does not and cannot
answer its intended purpose of otfsetting
the triumphal tour Of Bryan. But it
WAS not OF this that we started out to
write; on the contrary, it was to call at
tention TO q singular omission on the
part Of the Associated Press. While
that great diGseminator CT republican
and goldbug news has been busy
painting in roseate hues the lawn
parties at the Mckinley home, made up
of visiting workingmen, it has failed to
call attention to come of the Canton
workingmen who have not participated
in these festivities. We refer to the
printers, who we're employed on the
Canton Record republican newspaper,
the quasi home organ of Mckinley and
which, in violation of contract, is now
being set up by rats" or non union men.
The contrast between the union printers
out of work in Canton, and appealing to
their brothers throughout the country
for help and the train loads Of excursion
lists riding in and hurrahing, is marked,
even though it has escaped the attention
of the Associated Press. In all his
speeches, Mckinley has told about the
cause of labor, yet he does not appear to
have interest enough in the workingmen
of his own city or influence enough with
the employers to secure work at fair
wages for union men. 1t may be that
Mark Hanna is an ow1cr OF the Canton
Record, il be is, the union men need
hardly expect work again, for the
entire history of the man, as an en-
ployer, shows him to be the bitter foe
Of organized labor. This may to some
people seem email matter, but to many
men all over the land it is an important
one, for it shows that the professions
and practices of Mckinley toward the
workingmen are far apart.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-09-18

Hanna is growing more ard moro dns-
perate and more and more expensive in
the conduct CT the Mckinley campaign
We now read that he has arranged for
100 cars to carry free excursions to Can
ton next Saturday, and that each one of
the cars will be filled with railroad en-
ployes. So be it. The employees will en-
Joy day OF ut the expense of the COM
panies by whom they are employed and
free ride at the expense of the Hanna
corruption fund. Because these men 60
to Canton il does not follow that they
Will vote for Mckinley by any means.
They may feel that it is good policy and
species of fun to 60 on the trip, but on
election day they will walk to the polls
and cast their ballots as they see fit. On
that day the men will be their own mas
tiers and can defy Hanna, his corruption
fund, and the employing corporations.
Let the Canton excursions go on. They
are a diversion fur those who participate,
can do Mckinley no good, and Bryan no
harm.

are always to be found men who are
ready to set up their judgment and opin-
ion against that of the majority. 1t
may be said that in these county tickets
there is no great principle involved, but
it can be said that they serve the purpose
OF keeping up party organization and to
large degree influence the national
ticket. There is something more than
the mere offices involved, and for this
reason the Silver Bow people acted
wisely. The gentlemen on both sides
who were left out are to be commended
for the surrender they made of their in
dividual claims, yet they have the salts
faction of knowing that they have served
the party, rendered possible the success
OF political frierds and insured the de-
feat of the republican ticket. The Butte
example is a good one.
