THE REPUELICAS KITE.

The republican national convention at
st. Louis declared for the single gold
standard, The republican state conven-
Iion of Montana at Helena was run by
Sanders, who is Mckinlay's Montana
agent, and the silver men were forced to
the humiiating spectacle of rransacting
business on the front porch.
The Cascade county convention gave
the Mckinley men all they asked for
and equelched the test silver motion that
dared to show its head, in less than 80
seconds.
That's the kind of Mckinley kite
the Cascade county republican ticket is
attached to. 1t is by their deeds that
we know them.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-16
fail to carry the elections, or at best get
through with reduced msjorities. 1t is
really funny to see the goldbugs squirm.
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

OF course this is campaign OF educa-
tion on the part of the Mckinley men,
that is, they say it is. But do their
practices keep up with their professions?
Here are few samples to show they do
not. The Chicago Times Herald, for in
stance, prints a cartoon illustrating Un-
Gle Sans cattle show. In the picture
the republicans are represented by an
elephant, the democrats by an ass and
the populists by hungry looking COW.
As spectators the republicans are Nc
Kinley and Hobart in Prince Albert
suits and silk hats. wearing canes, and
Bryan and Sewall are shown as unkempt
in dress and appearance. In the Times
Herald system it is no doubt highly ed
ucating to denounce the democrats as
asses and picture Mr.. Bryan as tramp.
In the same line we find that ornate
orator, Bourke Cochran, delivering
Mckinley speech in st. Louis. He is
theoretically an exemplar Of the esthetic
and an apostle Of the educational plan of
campaign. This well-paid goldbug orator
has reached that point in his career
where he is compelled to travel with
colored valet in order to impress the
"unwashed" with an idea of his import
ance. Yet the cloven foot must show it.
self, for in his St. Louis speech, by way
of convincing his hearers that the single
gold standard is the proper thing, we
find Mr.. Cochran using the following
convincing argument: "We're gradually
corralling the animals in their corners.
When you come to know the length OF
their ears and the size of their mouths
you will understand the origin of the
populist party When they read this
Mckinley and Mark Hanna must have
shouted with glee, but isn't it disgust
ing to sensible men? Think of such
abuse of men coming from the mouths
of the foremost orator of the Nc
Kinley cause. Democrats and popu-
lists are asses and cattle. Let
the men of Montana remember
that the Times Herald and Bourke
Cochran and others like them voice the
sentiments Of those who nominated and
are spending millions to secure the elec-
tion of Mckinley. In their eyes wealth
only is respectable and must govern;
the masses are but cattle to be driven.
In this state, county, and city we find
few men who are enrolled under the Nc
Kinley flag. Some Of them are candi-
dates on the republican county ticket.
None of the gentlemen Of that party who
are seeking election have yet had the
courage to openly declare for free coin
age. Until they do so it is fair to as
sumo that they are for Mckinley and
gold, and look upon the ordinary voters
as asses and cattle. This is the situa-
ton ae it exists today.

order to escape their just share of the
burden Of the government as represented
by an income tax. No patriotic Ameri-
can citizen, even though he believes the
theory of double standard of money to
be false economics, can afford to see the
united money power Of the country de-
feat the wishes Of the people by the un-
scrupulous use Of that wealth. 1t would
be better to see bad theory of political
economy put in practice and fail, ae all
false theories must, than see the propo-

SAAs EN- hLi u bLlCAN NoMlNAI1ONS
A special telegram from Helena to
The TRIBUNE is commended to the at
tention of the politicians who worked
the slick game which resulted in the
Endorsement of the goldbug county ticket
by an alleged silver republican conven-
ton. No call for silver republican
convention was ever issued. No person
outside of the conspirators knew that
there was any purpose of nominating
a ticket for the whole county at that
meeting, the country districts we're en-
tirely unrepresented, except that David
Rice CHANGED to be in town and attended
the meeting. The alleged convention
was so notoriously farce that it was
afterward decided to file the nomina-
tions by petition and a paper for this
purpose was circulated. The dispatch
referred to gives decision of the su-
preme court, the tenor OF which makes
it more than doubtful whether the
names of the goldbug republi-
cans have any right to appear on
the ticket of this county under the head
ing, "Silver Republican" 1t is certain
that they have no moral right there and
it may turn out that they have no legal
right, either. Should this prove to be so,
the republican candidates will find them
selves in a pretty mess, for it is we'll
known that, with few exceptions, they
are Mckinleyites, and the silver republi-
cans could not again be tricked into CIV
ing them nomination.

THE GODDARD MEETING,

The Mckinley republican candidate
for congress appeared Tuesday at the
county court house to plead his case be-
fore the citizens OF Great Falls and ask
them to cast a vote which would give
him the seat in congress now filled by
that noble champion of silver, Charles
S. Hartman. He had a good audience
and received a respectful hearing,
although it was evident that three
fourths of the audience were Bryan and
Hartman men. This was made plain
when the speaker mentioned the name of
Hartman for the first time in his speech
The audience gave expression to their
sentiments by the most enthusiastic
cheering of the evening. At least three
quarters of those present joined in the
applause, which was tribute to their
representative, now absent from the
state, fighting the battle of the people
at the front, where the conflict is the
hottest. Outside of this demonstration
the speaker had nothing to complain of,
and he took the interruption very good
naturedly.
Perhaps the most significant feature
of the meeting, however, was the fact
that the candidates on the county ticket
on which his name appears we're con.
spicious by their absence. Not man Of
them could be seen, and while Judge
Benton loaned him the use of his court
room, it devolved on A. T. Kyle to intro
duce him to bis audience. The candi-
date evidently felt the desertion of his
running mates on the ticket and the
county committee which is supposed to
have charge of his election, for he ad-
ministered severe roast to republicans
who we're afraid to come out
and support the Mckinley ticket. He
further served notice on the republicans
that supported Hartman or Bryan that
they would be read out of the party in
the future and needn't expect to be in
it when the distribution of pie took
place two years from now. His main
argument was that the silver question
was not an issue this year and had moth
ing to do with hard times, and the tariff
question was the only one worth con-
sidering. He quoted literally from
speeches of Hartman, made in 1892, de-
nouncing Cleveland and the demo-
cratic party but neglected to
state that the leaders of the dem
ocratic party at that time are
nearly all out supporting Mckinley now.
10 sum it up, Mr.. Hartman can afford
to rest easy as to Cascade county. His
friends here will take care of his inter
ests and he will get at least 10 per cent
of this county's vote. No abuse from
Mr.. Goddard or bis friends will lose him
vote in this county, and the more he
is criticised by his opponent while be is
absent fighting the battles of his constit-
ucnts the bigger will be his maj jority on

strife which, as we believe, if not settled
correctly will mean another four years
of business depression, another four
years OF misery, starvation, crime, and
suicides such as have characterized the
present administration of Grover Ceve-
land" He then goes on to state that
the paper will advocate the election of
Mckinley. That is just what Grover
would advise him to do. The supporters
