SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Those of Deer Lodge County Regularly
Nominate IL Ticket.
The decision of the supreme court yes
terday in the Missoula judgeship case
practically decided that nomination by
petition under the name of a political
party is no nomination at all. That's
just exactly what Anaconda lawyers have
contended all along. But eminent legal
authority in Butte said otherwise, and
the Deer Lodge republicans hesitatingly
acted accordingly. They circulated a
petition to have the regular republican
ticket placed on the ballot as the nomi-
nees of the silver republican party. This
proved to be the wrong course Of pro-
cedure. Accordingly, a notice was
posted yesterday afternoon calling for q
mass meeting of citizens at room /, bank
building, for the purpose of organizing
the silver republican party and nomina-
ting a county ticket
At o'clock number Of we'll known
republicans assembled. Judge II. r.
Whitehill read the call and explained the
purpose Of the meeting. Itwas formally
declared that this was to be known as d
primary convention of the silver repub-
lican party. Nominations being in order
for chairman, M. J. Fitzpatrick nomina
ted J. B. Losee, which was duly seconded
and carried. W. r. Allen was chosen
secretary.
The nomination of a full set of county
officers was then proceeded with, and the
county ticket, printed on the second page,
was renominated by D. NJ. Evans, and
duly seconded.
The nominations were then duly certi-
fed to by the chairman and secretary.
The meeting then adjourned. This
morning the nominations were sent to
Deer Lodge to be filed, this being the
last day.-Anaconda Recorder, Oct. 13.

momentous step in the series of events
Upon it has since been based the action
OF Cleveland and Carlisle in making all
government obligations payable in ''coin"
redeemable only in gold at the option of
the holder, which has led them to the
final infamy Of announcing that silver
dollars are really redeemable in gold.
The power that has been assumed by the
two last secretaries Of the treasury under
the authority of Harrison and Cleveland,
in striking degree of the last, is
The Gravest Danger
that confronts us and proves an inherent
weakness in our system.
The repeal of the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act is too recent to call for
an extended sketch. 1t was done by di-
rect orders of the great banks, who,
through their plant tool, the head of the
present administration, caused an extra
session Of congress to be called for the
express purpose Of wipng from our stat
ute books the last vestge Of relief for the
choked up channels of business. A fear
full panic was precipitated by these
banks, whose managers refused to ex-
tend credits until the law should be re-
pealed. There is no parallel in history
for the deliberate ruin that was thus
wantonly brought upon the country and
this alone should set the common people
to thinking The words of Abraham
Lincoln, which have been quoted often,
wherein he predicted the rise of the
money power and the possibility Of its
overthrow Of the liberties Of the people
stand out
Like Letters of Fire ".$.. @"
upon the open sky in their solemn fore
warning:
Gas result of the war, corporations
have been enthroned, and an era Of cor
ruption in high places will endeavor to
proong its reign by working upon the
prejudices Of the people, until all wealth
is aggregated in a few hands and the re-
public is destroyed. I feel at this mo-
ment more anxiety for the safety Of my
country IMAM ever DelOIc, even III Llle
midst of war God grant that my sus-
picions may prove groundless."
In no otber way can this self
ish and destructive power SO completely
entrench itself and carry out it's ultimate
design Of securing the complete mastery
Of the masses than in the triumphant es-
tablishment Of the gold standard. His
tory repeats itself, and the records of the
past are full of warning signals. Never
before we're Americans called upon to
more clearly settle the question as to
whether this shall be a government sby
the people, Of the people and for the
people, or whether it shall pass into the
hands Of an autocratic and privileged
class whose prototypes of old the Savior
drove from the desecrated portals of the
temple with a lash.
