OHIO IN LINE,

The outcome of the election in Ohio is
in doubt, both parties are claiming it.
The electoral vote must go to either
Bryan or Mckinley. Extraordinary
efforts are being put forth by the cham
pions of each candidate. IT is the home
of Mckinley and, therefore, his partisans
insist that he will carry it. tis also the
home of Mark Hanna and, therefore,
those who know him and his record are
confident that it cannot be carried for
any man who wears his livery. 1t is
anybody's fight as the case now stands
and conservative men of both parties ad
NIT that it will be close. In order to Sc
cure fair estimate Mr.. Henry George
has been sent into Ohio to learn what he
can learn. He is an observant man and
an intelligent man. He has made some
thing OF tour of the state and, in let
ter to the Anaconda Standard, gives his
conclusions. His statement reviews the
situation as it presentsitself to him after
diligent inquiry and he sums up as
follows:
"From all have seen, Ohio is stirred
as it has never been stirred since war
timeP and the opinion on which | think
! can best rely is that all the tendency is
in favor of Bryan. This is the reason
why it seems to me that the democrats
are not too eanguine in their confident
expectation of carrying the state; in
fact, ! am inclined to think that the
democratic politicians are disposed tc
value too highly the vast fund that car
be used for Mckinley, and the influence
OF the railroads, corporations and large
employers upon their workmen"
1t is the last sentence that is mos
worthy Of consideration. While IIenr.
George has no doubt mixed with al
classes in search of information, it il
equally certain that he has had access t.
inner circles Of the workingmen. The.

tho democrats are disposed to overrat
the influence OF money and intimidation
on the part Of the corporations, he know

Those republicans who have been cir
culating lies about Harry J. Skinner and
his attitude, as candidate, toward the
fusion ticket are requested to read his
card, published in another column.
There was never any foundation for the
stories regarding Mr.. .Skinnero or any other
candidate on the fusion ticket, and they
were only originated and peddled out to
distract attention from the row now in
progress in republican circles between
the nominees on the ticket, who are ac-
cusing each other of treachery and
double dealing, and the would-be nomi-
nees, who were turned down and who are
seeking revenge with. d knife. BY the
way, speaking Of republican county can
didates, how many of them have signed
the Mckinley club roll? Please etand
up, gentlemen, and be counted.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09
ABOUT HANNA.

We do not believe that the pulpit was
intended for political discussions or that
churches should be used for mass meet
ings. However, the Mckinley managers
think differently, and all the prominent
preachers in New York have ceased to
talk religion and occupy their Sunday
time in abuse of Bryan and free coinage
AS an offset to these efforts, Rev. II. N.
Casson of Lynn, Mass, has SHE'D his
castor into the ring. He is said to be
very eloquent and the announcement
that, instead of sermon, he would dis.
cuss "Who Is the Anarchist, Bryan or
Hanna?" filled his large church to sutfo-
cation last Sunday. His sermon was
pointed, he did not mince words, but
hit straight and hard. Here is sample
taken from the close of his discourse:
"Give Hanna four years of power and
he will paint the White house black.
lie will utterly destroy every vestige of
trade unionism, for he will have the
army, the navy and the treasury at his
command. He will discover that it is
cheaper to abolish manhood than
to buy votes, and next November
may be the last chance that
the moneyless men may ever have to
record their votes for president. Many
republican workingmen are thought
lessly going to the ballot just as an OK
goes to barbecue--gaily decorated in
honor of it's own death. l trust in the
common heart of all more than in the
private scheming of any syndicate. l
is time to cooperate and enjoy the Gre
alton of our hands, otherwise all the en-
ergy and daring and inventivenees OF our
fathers has come to naught. I do not
believe that Columbus discovered Amer
lea for Hanna or that the monopolist is
the last and highest product of human
evolution
This preacher WAS in a republican city
IN which workingmen largely predomi-
nate. His language was strong, yet he
was only following the suit of the enti-
Bryan preachers of New York and he
had the advantage of knowing that he
was telling the truth--an advantage that
tho other side does not enjoy. With
such utterances from New England
preacher it is possible that the masses
in that section are being aroused to the
gravity Of the situation as it affects
them 1t may be violent hope, yet it
is not impossible that Massachusetts
will be found in the Bryan column in
November. As the preachers have
turned to politics, it would not be a bad
idea for the editors to turn to prayer
and pray fervently and fast for such q
righteous contamination.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09
FOR The FARMERS.

The Minneapolis Times is by no means
a silver paper, yet once in while it finds
ep. CO to tell the truth and call attention
of its readers to the false pretensions of
the goldbugs. For instance, few days
ago it referred to the silly talk about the
present condition OF the treasury gold re.
serve, and the capital the Mckinley men
were attempting to make of il. The
Times says: 1--WE are told that gold is
coming this way once more, and that it
is due to the growth of confidence as
Mckinley's election becomes more and
more certainty. 1t is pleasant to know,
if il is true, that gold is coming this way
once more, whatever the cause But it
is impossible not to reflect that we are
paying for this restored confidence in
the cheapest wheat and the cheapest
farm products ever shipped from Ameri-
can ports. England is parting slowly
and grudgingly with her gold and is
getting breadstutfs at prices which would
ruin the growers should they last much
longer. The improvement of faith is Il
good thing, but on mere calculation of
gain and loss in our present international
transactions we are running behind with
every cargo of wheat shipped out and
every consignment Of gold received. 1t
is by the sacrifice Of our wheat and Sc
curities that we have got the little gold
whose timid entrance has caused 60
much rejoicing in banking circles"
This, to degree, sizes up the situa-
tion; but it does not 20 far enough. 1t
should have said that there was never
any legitimate reason for deficit in the
reserve or the issuance of bonds to re-
plenish it; that such condition was
only possible because of the single gold
standard and the cupidity of the bank
ers to take advantage of it, which they
did by adding, with the connivance of
Carlisle, s2G2, 100000 to the bonded debt
of the country; that, even had it been
necessary, they could have secured gold
| to maintain the treasury two years or
one year ago rs readily as at
present, and their only reason for
doing go now was that had they forced
another bond issue if would have made
tho election OF Bryan doubly 1uro. The
Times could have said further, and
truthfully, that the low price of wheat
is duo entirely TO the characterization OF
silver; that the two have always kept
pace in values, and as silver fell so die
wheat, until now both are at the Lowest
price ever known. These are facts fol
farmers and those who arc dependent or
them to read and think about. The
tariff had nothing to do with the fall il
silver or wheat, nor can it, even though
protection were piled mountain high, re
store one penny to the value of either
u Remopetize silver, increase to its proper
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

1t is now stated on good authority
that meeting of the republican candi-
dates for county offices has been held
and an agreement made that they will
not publicly declare themselves on the
financial question. This is probably
true, for most of them would like to
curry favor with both sides if possible.
1t cannot be done. The people are de-
termined that every man seeking their
sutfrages shall declare himself on this
all-important point. Another thing is
that friends of candidates are not bound
by the foolish truce, and they are not
hesitating to accuse other candidates of
being cowardly Mckinley men and
being afraid to say so after having egn-
ed the roll Of the Mckinley club. The
time is fast approaching when there
must be a showdown.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09
CAN IT BE DONE?

The New York World is still doing
some figuring to show how Mckinley
cannot be elected. This is not its pro
fessed purpose; on the contrary, it is at
tempting to explain how he can If he
follows the advice of the World and
makes open war against the trusts and
combines. That Mckinley cannot do
this is patent to the dullest intellect in
the land. His nomination was pur-
chased for him by the manufacturers
and the immense sums that are being
expended in his campaign are contrib
uted by the bankers, manufacturers, and
trusts Should the exigencies of the oc-
casion compel him to make an open dec
laration against his bosses no one would
believe him. 1t would be contempt
ible illustration of the adage, The end
justifies the MEANS" and would lower
him still further in the estimation OF the
public. But it is the advice OF the
World that we started to call attention
to. In the issue of last Friday it says:
ave call Mr.. McKinley's attention to
three groups of states, all of which he
must carry. The first group is the three
states that together make the key to the
presidency-New York. New Jersey and
Connecticut. These are democratic
states. They can be carried only for
Mckinley by the votes Of democrats.
The second group contains four states
Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and
Kentucky. These are also democratic
states necessary to Mckinley. The third
group--Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin
was carried by the democrats"
The kernel of this editorial utteranCe
Of the World is it's positive statement
that Mr., Mckinley must carry "all' the
states named in order to be elected.
Who can believe that he will carry
Maryland and Kentucky, and what
license have he or his friends for claim
ing Illinois or Indiana: These recent
admissions of the World are pregnar t
with meaning. They are declarations
that Bryan cannot fail of election. The
World is cunning. From the day Of the
nominations TO the present time, while
it has antagonizod the candidacy
of Bryan on the free coinage issue, it has
not burned its bridges, but has left way
open for retreat. 1t looks as though it
was about to avail itself of this avenue
and make straight cut for the Bryan
camp. 1t will soon announce that, of
what it calls two evils, free coinage and
trusts, the latter is the worse and there
fore it will support Bryan. This will be
a plausible excuse to cover up the fact
that the World has made up its mind
that Bryan will win and that it is
anxious to be Oh the winning side,
The signs of the times for silver vic
tory are more than hopeful, yet in Great
Falls, Montana, we find tho candidates
on the county republican ticket allied
with the Mckinley forces and pledged
to vote for the goldbug candidate for
president. Do such men deserve or will
they receive any consideration at the
hands of the people OF this county at the
polls? Unless we are much mistaken,
they will not.
