A L. tier Asxing for Opinions as to the

Prominent democrats all over the
state will be asked TO give their opin-
ions as to the best time for holding the
state convention for the selection of
delegates to the national convention,
and also as to the best method of max
ing the apportionment 10 the various
counties in determining upon the make
up OF the convention. says the indie
pendent. A circular letter has been
sent out to leading members of the
party all over the state by Secretary
Marks, who is acting under the in
structions of Chairman w. II. Kenyon
of Butte. The letter is as follows:
I'VE address this communication to
you to obtain an expression of your
opinion regarding the best time and
place for the democratic state conven-
ton. As for the matter OF time. II has
been suggested that, all things consid-
cred, II would be wisest and best to
postpone the gathering until June 20,
or whereabouts. some few days after the
meeting of the republican national
convention at st. Louis, June 16. In
tiat way, many seem to think. we
should be In n position to take advan-
tage OF any possible break on the part
of the republican party and still have
ample time to give full consideration
to the membership of the delegation to
Chicago. Please be kind enough to
give this matter your best attention
and let us hear from you at your earl
lest convenience.
There is one other matter that re-
quires decision. and that is the basis
of representation-wheth IL should
be arranged on the last presidential
vote or the last vote for congressman.
Kindly indicate your preference.

immediate reply. so that we can issue
the call without any unnecessary de-

Mckinley Contradicts Mckinley.

With such record of inconsist-
ency as the republican nominee has
back of him on the money question,
it is not at all surprising to those
who are familiar with his career in
congress and elsewhere that Major
Mckinley should find it rather
disagreeable matter to come out
squarely in favor of the single gold
standard.
Less than six years ago Major
Mckinley professed to be warm
friend of the white metal. That,
however, was during the days Of
his political freedom and long be-
fore he had ever dreamed of being
the mortgaged candidate Of Wall
street for the high office of presi-
dent of the United States.
Indeed the republican nominees
preference for silver at the time re-
ferred to, when his reasoning facul-
ties were in much better trim than
they are at present, was of such a
positive and pronounced type that
he even set himself up as its a7ow-
ed champion and ventured on more
than one occasion to criticise Mr..
Cleveland for the arbitrary man.
ner in which he had dishonored
silver during his first term of office.
In confirmation of this state
ment, it is only necessary to refer
to a speech Major Mckinley deliv-
cred on the 18th Of February, 1891,
at Toledo, Ohio, the occasion being
a memorial banquetin honor of Mr..
Lincoln.
On this notable occasion, Major
Mckinley, who was one Of the prin-
cipal speakers Of the evening, ad-
dressed himself to the issues which
were then pending, little suppos-
ing that what he said at this time
would rise up before him in the
near future with the persistency of
Banquo's ghost. In the course Of
his speech, which had doubtless
been carefully premeditated, Major
Mckinley used the following Ian
guage:
During all Of Grover Cleveland's
years at, the head of the govern.
rnent he was dishonoring one Of
our precious merals, one of our
own great products, discrediting
silver and enhancing the price Of
gold. He endoavored even before
his Inauguration TO Office to stop
the coinage of silver dollars, and
afterwards, and TO the end Of his
administration, pcrsislently psod
hia power 70 that end lie was do.

Continued by Cleveland in the interest of
those wise men of the east. the money chan
gers, hond holders and gold syndicates OF
Wall street It's high time that the masses
the great common people should awaken
to their own interests, regardless of party
name, and throw off the yoke of tyranny and
show Mark Hanna, Mckinley and their mil
ionaires that we are full born American citi
zens, and they have deceived the people as
long as we propose to submit to it. As that
statesman, Abraham Lincoln, said: "They
may fool some people all the time, but they
can not fool all the people all the time" l
tell you the producers Of the,soil, the laboring
men of every name must be up and doing or
we will soon be 66.ooo 600 sia7es! As that
young and greatstatesman, w. J. Bryan, said:
"Let us begin the conflict with the zeal that
inspired the crusaders who were led by Peter
the hermit" And while we may expect to
have TO battle against Mark Hanna, McKin-
ley with theiI money power behind them, to-
gether with all the false and deceptive ar
guments, and their boiling democrats OF the
east, arranged in their flying colors, yet let Us
bear in mind that great and now appropriate
sentence: THAT the humblest citizen in all
the land when CLAD in the armour of right
eous cause is stronger than all the hosts that
error can bring" There is a great difference
between those who advocate bimetalism and
those who advocate gold standard. Ask a
farmer, or laborer why he wants bimetallism
and he viii, tell you because it would be good
for HIM. 1t is the same with the business
man or professional man. But you ask the
gold standard man Why he wants the gold
standard still fastened on US and see what
his answer is? He will appear in his pomp
and majesty and tell you he wants ian hon
est dollar ''that is good enough for the peo-
pie" Yes, the people they love are the mon
ey spectators, those fine haired gentlemen Of
England and Wall street who have been
growing rich for over % years at the down
fall and destruction of us farmers! And
when and where will we end, and what will
become of onr wives and our children if we
ITO be continued.

am very grateful to you for The privilege
you extend me in allowing me TO present the

standpoint of farmer, as one who feels
deeply interested In the prosperity of our
country, and as one who is fully convinced
that, as farmers, we can have no hopes of a
return 10 prosperity under gold standard.
A system that was brought about by the gold
syndicates Of the east, under republican leg
islation, and one which is now sought to be
fastened upon us by that party who is now
looking to the interests of the money changers
of Wall street and the goldbugs of the east.
But am SO glad that the majority of the
people in the democratic convention at Chi
ago decided that they wanted another kind
of platform-yes, | am glad that they made a
platform that breathes the spirit Of the decla-
ration of American Independence. They
made platform that means what it says and

"CentraI New York is in dan
gerous condition and Bryan has left
an ugly trail behind him. I am
thoroughly alarmed. An election
today would give this state to Bryan
by 100000 majority"
The foregoing declaration comes
from Major John Byrne, of New
York, the president ofthe so-called
democratic Honest Money League
of America" It was under the
auspices Of this league that Hon.
Boprke Cochran made his recent
Madison Square garden speech and
such a declaration as the one above
quoted, proceeding, as it does, from
the executive head of that organIza-
ton, is charged with more than or
dinary significance. If the speech
Of the great New York orator has
done the gold cause any good the
members of the league have not
been able to see it. On this account
the men who engaged the services
of Cochran are feeling rather blue.
Major Byrne gave expression to
the prevailing sentiment among the
gold democrats in declaring that it
looked as if everything was going
over to Bryan.
"The campaign is going by de-
fault, continues the leader ofthe
goldbug organization in a written
statement which. tho New York

the republicans to understand that
