Some of the Volunteer boys are max
ing complaints, and, in fact, all but re-
fused to shoot in the contest Saturday
on account of what they consider as
shabby treatment on the part of the
Regulars. The latter went to the butts
at Kakaako shortly after / o'clock and
secured themselves within. The Vol
unteers went down, but they were not
allowed admittance to any of the stalls
until o'clock, or when the Regulars
were good and through. They claim
they should have been allowed TO en-
ter as soon as they arrived on the
scene. As it was, the Regulars were
shooting by themselves and had none
Of the Volunteer laddies TO bother their
heads about.
Company B had very serious mis-
fortune which probably cost them the
Marlin trophy. 1t came H. S. Ewing's
turn TO shoot and he had lain his rife
down, when, just as he had taken hold,
it went off. According to rules 80"
was marked up. He made 81 without
this.

times. Respecting issues, the circular
says, ''he stands conspicuous in
thoughtful and resourceful and sound
and firm leadership" Then we read
that mo man so well represents as
does Senator Allison the average tariff
sentiment of the republican party" We
read also that "he has no superior in
financial knowledge and skill in deal
ing with the currency question"
Now, just for the enlightenment Of
Montana republicans, let us go into
particulars far enough to quote a few
words from this circular in which full
er reference is made to Mr.. Allison's
superiority and knowledge and re-
source on the silver question. The cir
cular declares that Senator Allison is
a bimetallist, and Immediately 1t adds:
He has voted uniformly against the
free coinage of silver. believing that,
without international agreement or
greatly changed conditions. this would
bring the nation TO a deprecated cur
rency." If this is the test, what a
mighty array of men who are superior,
skilled and resourceful on the currency
question the republican party can pro-
duce for the uses of the st. Louis oon-
vention.
In Senator Allison's behalf a vigor-
Gus canvass was made prior to the re-
publican national convention of 1882.
That year. as this year. as far as the
pursuit of the nomination was con-
cerned, it was any mans race. That
year, as this year. the number of can
didates was large; the list included
Harrison, Sherman, Alger. Gresham.
Allison, Depew, Rusk, Phelps, ingalls,,
Mckinley, Blaine, Filter, Hawley and
Lincoln. On the first ballot Sherman
led with 22s votes. Allison stood sixth,
with seventy-two votes. Allison moved
to ninety-nine on the fifth ballot; he
was down to seventy-six on the sew
enth ballot; he disappeared, and Har-
rison was nominated on the eighth.

HERE'S ANOTHER.

The st. Louis fever is spreading; the
total of candidates at the June conven-
ton threatens to be larger than the
number of delegates in attendance.
Second-place candidates are cropping
out by the dozen; one of the latest of
them is Senator Perkins, of California.
1t appears that. like scores of men,
the Californian has been urged by a
large number of his friends to permit
the use of his name in connection with
the nomination for the Office of vice
president, that he does not feel at lib
erty to refuse, and that therefore he
authorizes the reporters to say that he
is a candidate. That is the regulation
form in which the fever manifests it
self: the country appears to be full of
friends who start ambitious people
out on the chase for a place on the
national ticket.
Perhaps Senator Perkins had the
June convention in mind when, last
Tuesday, he deserted silver in order to
support his party on its mongrel tariff
scheme.

CUBA AGAIN.

Two phases of the Cuban trouble are
presented in this mornings news. From
the house of representatives at Wash
ington we get a set of resolutions which
may or may not have significance-it
all depends. From Cuba comes a pro-
clamation issued by General Weyler
which means much-on that score there
is no doubt
Weyler is an impatient soldier. He
has a record Astounding in proof of the
fact that he favors methods which bru-
tally makes short, sharp and decisive.
The military world knows him as a
butcher" he has earned the title;
Weyler has no inclination toward slow
processes. He has announced that the
Cuban patriots have fifteen days with
in which to lay down their arms and
that failing to take advantage of this
offer. they will be treated as bandits.
Coming from the brute who speaks in
behalf of the government at Madrid,
this is an ominous alternative, doubt
less IL will carry terror to a good many
brave-hearted men on the island of
quences, in any event, because Weyler
will spare no man. But the fight which
will be carried on against those who re-
fuse to submit means the visitation on
person and kindred and property of all
the cruelty that a malicious and re-
sentful foe can invent. At the eXpira-
ton of fifteen days the Spanish COM
mander will hold himself at liberty to
depart from the rules which, in modern
days. are supposed to govern civilized
nations in the prosecution of war.
1t seems to us. If higher motives were
lacking. that this proclamation is a
broad invitation to the government of
the United States to say what IL pro-
poses to do about II. This government
now has a specific reason for announc-
ing whether in its opinion a state of
war exists in Cuba. II the long-sus-
tanned struggle of the Cubans is neither
here nor there with us, then General
Weyler may go ahead on any line of
tactics he elects to pursue. But IL this
country recognizes the Cuban rebellion
as a condition of actual war, then Gen
eral Weyler must pause-he cannot
proceed on plan of wholesale massa-
ere. What will congress do with the
resolutions offered yesterday?

lately met for an informal consulta-
ton. There was need of this because
of the persistent effort of other candi-
dates to make 1t appear that Mr.. Platt
cannot speak for New York and that
the party in that state is not seriously
for Morton. The congressional delega-
ton talked up the situation with the
result that, then and there, every re-
publican congressman from New York
arose and committed himself without
reservation to Morton. The two men,
bers noted as absent were out Of town.
In Western New York earnest effort
has been made to do work for McKin-
ley; likely it is that Morton will have
his state without dissent
1t will be a convention of solid"
delegations this year; that is to say, 1t
will be meeting which the bosses VIII
handle with greater ease than has been
their experience at any other national
convention of recent times, except that,
at the remarkable democratic conven-
ton at Chicago, in 1892, Mr.. Whitney
was completely the master of the sit
uation and had the delegates record his
will without questioning.

TO defy its orders Some anti-silver
democrats in Kentucky have been sup
porting Blackburn. They must quit:
they have concluded to withdraw their
support and to demand the caucus
nomination of a goldbug democrat.
The democrats do this on the assur-
ance. IL is said. that several republi-
cans will add their support and elect
the democrat. A score of rumors have
reached the public since the fight in
Kentucky started. None Of them have
thus far proved true-the struggle has
run along uneventful lines since the
joint session Of the legislature started
its work. All the news that has been
given out is to the effect that Mr.. Car
Isle demands the election OF a goldbug:
whether he be democrat or republican
is evidently not of great account, but
a friend of silver he must not be.

The Standard is proud of the record
made this week by Montana's two
senators. They stand up for their
state like good men. Their politics is
nothing TO us in this matter. They de-
serve especial praise because. as re-
publicans, they were obliged to stand
almost entirely alone. The goldbug re-
publicans are forever slurring the
Rocky Mountain region because it's
representatives I'm congress-almost ex-
clusively republican-plead for silver.
Yet these goldbug republicans, when II
comes to a test, find that they can
whip most of the Rocky Mountain re-
publicans into line every time-they did
IL this week. That is why Montana peo-
pie of independent mind are the more
willing to recognize the fact that this

he is a man of much greater account
than the public had esteemed him to be
and the country has had good oppor-
tunities to estimate him. since he has
been nearly a third of a century in
public life.
Popular opinion respecting Senator
Allison is that he can be all things to
all men on all question that get
public hearing. He was never accused
of announcing good. strong. ringing
opinions on any pending issue. He is
and always has been a negative in
public life-he has studied that policy
and made II OF account and, having a
state like Iowa to deal with. he has
won along that line.
