Carter for McKinIey.

United States Senator Carter, who is
in the east, has written n letter to the
Republican State convention, explain.
Ing the action of himself and the four
other members of the Montana dele.
CATION to the st. Louis convention in
reserving the rights Of the Republicans
OF the state TO accept or reject the de.
claration in favor Of the restoration Of
silver hy international agreement.
The senator says in the letter:
Gas Il Republican, l believe in the
free coinage of silver, and protection to
American labor and American indus
try. do not believe In free coinage
coupled with free trade and do not
belieye that free coinage with free
trade can be successfully established
and maintained by our government.
The free trade policy will render the
establishment Of bimetallism an utter
impossibility. The attempt to secure
free coinage in conjunction with free
trade is an utopian dream.
"AIter looking the whole situation
over, it will be found that the Kepub-
Hcan party has not declared in favor of
the gold standard, but in favor of res.
toration Of silver. find In this par
ticular that it differs from the OppOs,-
tion platform in the matter of method.
! believe 1t is the clear and unquestion-
able duty of the delegates who assemble
under and in conformity with the
forms and usages Of the Republicans of
this state, and as delegates representa-
tive of other people who reside here, to
place in the field electors favorable to
Mckinley and Hobart.
"'rhe party in Montana should, in
my opinion, indorse the entire national
platform excep. as to the feature de-
claring international conditions pre- 't-
dent to the remonetization Of silver.
For that declaration, this convention
should substitute Il declaration for the
free coinage of gold and silver in the
same manner as our state conventions
have heretofore declared.
II shall stand for protection, and
free coinage. Firmly believing that
the best interests of our state and the
nation at large will be subserved by
the election of Mckinley and Hobart,
I shall give them my support, not
withstanding the national platform
does not meet my approval in one par
ticuiar.'
