y. 7. Porter, well known and re-
spected citizen of this county, died Sun

nouOCement Of his death did not come
with any shock of surprise to his friends,
as his life had been despaired of for
more than week past and most of them
understood that il vas only question
Of few days till the end must come.
Mr.. Porter's health has never been very
rugged and, in fact, ne came to Montana
largely to benefit his health. The eli
mate here did all that his friends hoped
for in this respect, but a sudden cold,
caught from exposure on long drive,
brought back old troubles and compli
cation of diseases to which his constitu.
tion yielded.
Mr.. Porter was 40 years of age, ma
tive of Burlington, Vt. In early man.
hood he came west to Prescott. Wis, and
spent Is years of his life in Wisconsin
and Minnesota. coming to this county
from st. Paul some six years ago. For
a number of years he was the manager of
the Cascade Land company's business in
this county. Lately he went into the
stationery business for himself on Cen
tral avenue. He was an energetic and
successful business man, and as hus-
band, father, and citizen was model.
He leaves wife and six children in
this city and a father, 81 years of age,in
Vermont. His oldest son, Homer, is
partner in the Industrial Printing com
pany, and Wallace and B. w. Porter,
his sons, assisted him in the Central ave-
nue. store. The youngest son, Arthur,
is lG years of age and attends school.

stampede. The nomination of Mckinley Is
fixed beyond human possibility Of change
under the circumstances. It simply sets
some OF the politicians thinking what
might have been, and asking themselves
II there was not a big blunder in manage
ment somewhere.
1t is very clearly shown, not by the shout
ing. but by the private talk of delegates,
that there was something in the often-re-
peated assertion of Manley and Represent
alive Aldrich in the canvass for delegates
that many of the delegates elected for the
Ohio candidate would be glad of chance
to vote for Reed. This was their answer to
Grosyenor's figures on Mckinley delegates.
and it was their argument to their friends
and the friends Of other candidates to keep
up the fight to the last and not to be dis
couraged.
1t Is obvious now that they were not in
dulging in idle talk, but at the time they
were not believed, and IL cir line of battle
was broken in many places through fear
and Encouragement, and the fight was
thus lost weeks ago. -
The fact Is apparent that many dele
gates who going to vote for Mckinley
would prefer to have Reed nominated II It
were possible. The wisdom and shrewd-
ness Of Hanna in having Mckinley dele
gates instructed at tho county and state
conventions is demonstrated.
McKinley's nomination would have been
greatly endangered by the terrible struR-
gle over the gold question had he not been
so strongly entrenched behind instructions
to delegates
One Of the weaknesses Of the opposition
to Mckinley was from the first the un-
willingness Of some Of the parties to the
combination to unite On Reed II he proved
the stronger candidate.
The Reed people have put up a remark
ably strong fight under the circumstances,
az even at this late time have been max
ing vigorous effort to consolidate all the
anti-McKinley strength on the man from
Maine. Notwithstanding all the disadvant-
ages under which they have been laboring.
the fight of P1att. Quay, Manley and Lodge
has not been fruitless. The demonstration
Lodge has made has proven sufficiently
impressive to convince Mr.. Hanna that
haste is desirable: that a too long delay in
fighting over the platform might prove
the victory to gold. The struggle over that
question with Its consequent frictions was
becoming dangerous. The Mckinley gold
men on the one hand and the straddlers
and silver men on the other were becoming
impatient and Disconnected The almost
superhuman efforts in behalf Of gold was
at the same time being made. The gold

demoralizing effects Of 1t. Suffice 1t to say

This is in sharp contrast with the re-

raised revenues. but they protected our do
nestle Industries; they impartially pro-
tected the farmer and manufacturer, both
north and south. Not only that, but they
also raised sufficient revenue to gradually
reduce the public debt, and without i'm

phatic protest.

nentable results. the democratic party now
proposes to reverse the currency policy.
1T turns to the currency as the parent
of our ills. It's effort to shift the RESPONSE

tanned when republican currency laws were
in full operation. When the republican
party was in power our currency was good
1t was made as good as tie best on the
globe. We made sourd money, and we
also made an honest protective tariff to go

tective tariff go hand in hand together
not one before the other.
The very foundation Of a sound cur

people doubt the integrity Of the treasury
