Of the East, who are about as near to a
Dig panic as they care to get, began to re-
allze their mistake.-Bozeman Chronicle.
Dem.
Mr. Metzel in common with about 81
per cent. Of the republicans of Montana,
Is a consistent man, and does not propose
to turn his back on silver because of a
party ediet, promulgated by as Infamous
coterle as ever captured a great party.
There are occasions when blind party
lealty is an error and this is one Of them.
-Madisonian. Rep.
he manufacturers are all RIGHT. for in
spite OF the shutdowns they have money
to contribute to the Mckinley corruption
fund and to hire such high priced ora
tors as Bourke Cochran to prostitute their
talents III attempts to deceive the people.
Great Falls Tribune, Dem.
The attack upon Hon. Chas. 5. Hart
mans silver record ceased almost as soon
as it began. 1t is as good as that Of any
man in or ont of congress.-Rocls Creek
Record, Dem.
The Times lastens its congratulations
to the republican county central commit.
tee for its noble efforts to suppress the
Col. Sanders kind of republicans in this
state 50 far as Granite county is con-
cerned Mr. Sanders will not dictate to
them. -tluigley Times, Rep
Hon. chas S. llartman's open letter
in this issue is thoroughly characteristic
Ct the man. He believes in political
honesty. Politicians generally seek to
gain advantage by smooth diplomacy
and, if necessary oily deception. Mr..
Hartman is not. nor never has been, in
that class.-Bozeman Chronicle, Dem.
The gold bug organs have begun their
stock arguments to the effect that silver
sentiment is dying out. When they had
it completely eradicated last spring it
split two national conventions and con-
trolled the other three. IF it could do
this as q dead issue the country ought
not to be alarmed by any gold bug claim
that it is "subsiding." Livingston Enter
prise, Rep.
Col. Sanders and Maj Power have
decided to divide the cross Of gold be-
tween them. Maj. Power will get the
gold and Col Sanders the cross. Helena
Independent.
Yes; the double cross.-Rock Creek
Record, Dem.
The populists are ready to 90 half
way, and if their overtures are rejected
by the democrats, they alone will be to
blame if seperate electoral tickets are
placed in the field. However as Nc
kinley cannot poll Is per cent OF the
vote in the state but little harm could
result Still we should set a good ex-
ample to other states Montana Populist.
We have every confidence that silver
will win. We believe that the silver
cause is the cause of humanity. that it is
right, and that the right must and will
prevail Rocky Mountain Husbandman,
Dem.
The old-time republicans Of this state,
men whose part in republican politics Of
the past has been as conspicuous and as
honorable as that Of Col. Sanders or any
other goldite, are not in sympathy with
the Colonel's single standard vagaries.
Such men as Judge Hiram Knowles and
Captain James H. Mills have parted COM
pany with the ex-senator on the money
issue and propose to remain parted.
Inter Mountain, Rep.
We will state here that if Mr.. Quinn
should be chosen to represent Montana
in congress her interests would not
suffer, but We do not believe there is the
remotest possibility Of his election, while
we do believe that Of Mr. Hartman is
assured NIissoulian, Rep.
1t cost the nation less then 10000
bushels Of wheat to pay the salary of
George Washington; less than 10000
to pay that Of Abraham Lincoln, and it
has cost something like S00,000,O00 bush
els to pay Cleveland's salary, and his
term isn't out yet.-Philipsburg Mail,
Rep.
