1t appears there a be little
doubt in regard to the election of
w. l.. Holloway for district judge
says the Townsend Messenger. Two
years ago he was elected attorney
for the democratic county of Gallatin
by a large majority and as the pop
ulists have this year endorsed his
candidacy, he will carry this county
by a largely increased vote. In this
county there is much dissatisfaction
with the administration Of the present
Judge, and Mr.. Holloway creates SO
favorable an impression among the
people, wherever he goes, that we
have little doubt of his being able tc
carry Meagher county by at least
300. Mr.. Holloway is n of the
best Judges of law in Montana; hi.
property interests are not such a.
will hamper his judicial actions; he
is not of a nature to slight his officia
duties for fear of breeding politica
opposition: he should and will b.
elected, and he will give this distric
a judicial administration unbiased
by personal interests and undamper
ed by fears of mourning the opposit
ion OF 2x4 politicians.

Dear sir: The committee of polit-
zeal education Of Wall street, this city
to which the undersigned has the hon
or to belong, having determined that
each member should write personally
to at least one or more prominent
party leaders of the silver cause,
your name has been handed to me.
You are described as of a fair mind
and large influence in your state.
| therefore address you i'll the hope
that you may be pursuaded from
your present course, for you are
leading the lower classes, tina labor
ers, artisans, mechanics and agricult-
wrists Of your state into a step which
will cause them great distress.
We, whose business it is to study
finances, and are therefore capable
of determining such questions, know
, there is at this time TOO MUCH
MONEY. Millions are now ready
in this city to be loaned on call
with good collateral such as govern
ment bonds, where it is really need
ed, at remunerative rates. You,
8 methods are such as to brighten al
money lenders for nothing is 81
easily scared as money! No ont
can tell what laws Mr.. Bryan(if elect
: ed) may suggest; while even nov
the laws are all against III people
We are forced to loan money a
such rates as we can get. If w
: cannot get ~ per cent we take .; i
we cannot get 8 we take s and il
peaceful times even lower, and it i
I difficult W to keep II money a

+ men say: If they cannot get a dolla
a day they refuse to work, Will
they ought to take rs cents or ever
90 cents SO that we may keep then
at work. You ought to teach then
= that 81 per day on GOLD basi
is enormous pay in this country; n
gold country pays more than 81
cents for labor, while here, living i
the cheapest of all countries, provid
: ed the lower classes will live as the,
: should live. They are really extra
$ VACANT; they buy meat four or iv'
I days in the week; they even indulge
:, often in pie, which is no kind of foot
to be enjoyed by working people
and does them no good. Rice is on
of the most nourishing of foods; it j
CHEAP, and can be raised in endles
quantities, but workingmen avoid i
; as IA general food. They EFT whea
bread when rye is much more suita
bic. These ideas grow out of wrong

Bryan's election is virtually assur-
ed. In fact, the Mckinley Man
ayers are fully alarmed at the
apparent situation, and it looks as il
Bryan would have a majority in the
electoral college of at least 60. II
is conceded already that Bryan has
POS electoral votes as good as won.
while Mckinley has only 1865 which
he can call reasonably sure. A bal
ance Of II electoral votes in the
doubtful central states will probably
be divided between the two candi.
dates. But of these II, Bryan re
quires only to receive 10, while
Mckinley must gain SO in order t.
win. The chances are nearly 3 to
in favor of Bryan.

''The majority of the people are pro-
tcctionists, and each day brings a pro-
tectionist closer to the full realization of
the utter impotency Of a protective tariff
under a single gold standard of money.
The constant appreciation of the dollar
more than offsets the intended benefit of
the schedules.'
