IOniS Gathering.

Comments of the State Press on the St.
Lonis Gathering.
That was asplendid little speech which
Congressman Hartman OF Montana de-
llvered before the committee on resolu
tions. He stuffed in little space more
solld facts down the throats of those
goldbugs than they had heard before for
month, and that they could not be con
vlnced does not change the power Of
Hartman's speech at all. There will be
| good many silver speeches made before
| election day in November, and it is pos
sible that some people who are now an
ticipating an easy victory will have many
and many a heart ache before that time,
because we cannot always sometimes
most generally tell what the American
| people will do when they get thoroughly
aroused.-Salt Lake Tribune.
The four Montana men virtually bolted
when the others did, but kept their places
in order to prevent the occupancy Of their
seats by alternates Or their proxies, who
were loaded with speeches declaring that
Montana republicans were for sound
money and ready to support a goldbug
/ platform and candidate. The estimable
Col. Sanders and his friends were ready
for just such play, and had it not been
prevented. Montana would have been
placed before the convention and the
country as q goldbug state.-Inter Noun

Mr. Teller's valedictory was read by
Montana people with keenest attention
He did that which was expected Of him.
He made no effort to be dramatic. He
calmly informed the convention that he
had come to the parting Of the ways and
without ado, he retired. a' 4: x =; In
all frankness, it would suit the Standard
were Teller to be the coming man,

Montana republicans may not feel
called upon to reconcile themselves to
the financial plank Of the platform
adopted by the St. louis convention, but
better, ininitely,a a solid, gold platform,
with assured republican protection and
returning prosperity, than The democratic
juggernaut Of free trade with it's scduct
i've free silver ents.-Bozeman
Avant Courier
These are times that try the souls Of
men. Party ties sink into insiynificance
beside the mighty issue involved in the
campaign which lies before us. Loyalty
to party is not SO important as loyalty to
our own interests which are also those of
the whole people of this country.-NIis-
soula Republican.
Honest and with the courage to de-
clare his convictions, Delegate Hartman
should have remained with his colleagues,
having entered his protest against the
adoption of the financial plank. There is
regret, but not reprimand from republi-
cans.-Helena Herald. June 10.
Hartman went out. ~ glory in his
spunk," said republican reading the
Herald bulletin. The substance of this
remark was repeated by other citizens,
republicans and democrats. Helena Her
aid, June IS.
When the time comes Charlie Hartman
has but to make manifest what he wishes
and Montana will gladly place in his
keeping any position of trust and honor
at her isposal.-Missoula Republican.
None but goldbug sympathizers will
seek to criticize the action of the dele
gates who bolted after, as we'll as that of
those who bolted before, the gold plat
form.--Inter Mountain.
Loyal to silver, Montana republicans
stand ready to support silver men, but
not the party which has proven itself to
be the most vindictive enemy silver has
ever had.-Missoulian.
AN UNFAIR CRITIC.
