Ne Asks Montana Republicans to Choose
Mckinley Electors.

Mckinley Electors.
HELENA, Mont. Sept. s.-Senator Carter's
statement regarding his line OF conduct a q
delegate to tho National Republican Conven-
tion is published to-day in the form OF an open
letter to the Republican State Convention OF
Montana, which. the Senator says, he Will be,un-
able TO attend. The Senator. in reciting tho
action of the National Convention on the cur
rency question says he WAS dissatisfied with tho
declaration in favor Of the gold standard.
He denouuces the platform of the Chicago
Convention as "loRd greater that silver can
bear" He adds: II do not believe in FREQ
coinage coupled with free trade, and do not
believe both can be successfully established and
maintained by our Government. The free trade
policy will render the establishment OF bl-
metallism an utter impossiblity. After look
ing the whole situation over, II will be found
that the Republican party has not declared in
favor of the gold standard, but In favor OF the
restoration OF silver"
He regards the Republican declaration as too
conservative. but as between It's acceptance and
that OF the Chicago platform with Its free
trade, States rights, free riot, and other objec-
tional features" the Senator finda no room to
hesitate, and urges on the Montana Convention
the placing of Mckinley electors In the field as
Its duty. He denie@ the right OF the delegates to
nominate Bryan electors. and advises tho silver
Republicans who support Bryan to keep their
hands off tho Convention while asking tho
broadcast possible charity for them at the hands
OF tho delegates.

grinned at him, and told their friends that pos
sibly Gen. Clayton should have been hustling
over his State instead of enjoying himself and
having fine time playing campaigner hero in
New YORK city.
Senator Quay proposes TO push along his work
in the Southern States. He believes that Ken
lucky will certainly go for Mckinley, and he
believes that with careful missionary work
North Carolina, Florida, and possibly Alabama
may be lost to Bryan. In Alabama therN arc

AUGUSTA, Me. Sept. THE Republican State
Committee completed its third canvass of the
State last night and Chairman Manley gave .
summary of the result to . reporter. The can
vases of the committee in this campaign have
been the most thorough ever made here. Mr..
Mnnley says they fail to satisfy him how disaf-
rected Democrats are going to vote.
"Our only course" said Mr.. Manley, was TO
assume that the whole Democratic party was
against us. and that all the influences at work
that were not Republican would be solldly in
opposition. Tho only safe way In II campaign
like this is TO count on your own reliable vote
and let the rest of the voters 20 where they will.
I'VE will get out from $4,000 to 10000 votes
OF the Republican party-the largest numbe
ever cast We do not count upon a total vote
OF more than 10000. which would be about
1000 less than the number thrown in the great
Rreenbdck year OF 1880. We count the COM
bined opposition To the Republican ticket at
&C, 900; that Is. We say the Democratic vote
NAV be 5000, thus allowing ourselves a safe
margin OF from 49, 900 to 10000 voteA as the
number by which we shall win."
