ANOTHER TICKET.

Last year, at the city election in
Butte, the republicans were in two fac
tons. the democrats kept out, and a
citizens ticket was run. This year,
with eight members of the city council
TO elect, the populists have ticket in
the field, and. as a second factor in the
fight the republicans and some demo-
Gratis placed seven candidates in nomi-
nation yesterday. leaving open the
choice of a candidate in the First ward.
To-day. the democrats propose to go
through the motions. Their present
plan. as we understand it, is to name
a candidate for each ward. II may be,
however. that. before the noon hour ar
rives. the managers of to-day's meeting
will recommend some Eastward man
whose name might be used to complete
the ticket nominated yesterday, and let
IL go at that.
We notice that the Inter Mountain
mentions yesterdays nominees as re-
publican candidates. There must be
some mistake about that. There has
been talk OF a combine" this spring in
Butte-our understanding of the case is
that the ticket named yesterday is the
product of the combination. Still, we
do not claim to know 1t for a certainty.
nor do we wish to be quoted as insin-
uating that our evening contemporary
knows. We infer that Butte politics
"cuts no figure" this year-that is the
easy way around the stump for some
people in Butte. The inference is that
the city is well pleased with last years
experience and wants more of 1t.
Meanwhile, we are willing to stand
corrected IL our view OF the situation
proves to be wrong. 1t may be that
the product Of yesterdays convention
is Butte republican ticket; but, honor
bright, we never would have guessed it.

A MARCH ROMANCE.

AS contribution from a New York
correspondent. the Washington Post
publishes a campaign yarn which is
interesting enough to be printed in
summary. AS it is told in the Post. all
the little details are woven in that are
needed to give IL the appearance Of
FEASIBILITY
1t seems that. as long ago as May,
last year. Senator Quay gave a dinner
In his Washington home. Platt was
there, Clarkson. Alger and others The
conversation was general at first, but
finally the point was reached where
the propriety of doing something for
Mr.. Plat became the theme; all the
guests knew that, in 1883, Harrison
promised 10 name Plat as secretary of
the treasury and that, after election, he
totally ignored the promise.
Even as long ago as May, so the
Posts story runs, these bosses knew
that Mckinley was looming up. 1t was
concluded to approach him in Platt's
behalf. A little later. when the mat
ter was brought TO McKinley's atten-
ton, he referred his callers to Hanna.
He in turn was seen; the proposition
was put TO him that Plat should be
assured of a place in the cabinet. the
condition being that New York's vote
should be delivered to Mckinley.
Hanna spurned the offer. so the story
goes on to say. He was curt in his
answer. He told the New Workers that
he could win without them. He said
that New York was for Mckinley any
how and so was Pennsylvania He
claimed that Mckinley could get the
nomination without Platt's help and in
spite of his opposition: he sent the
delegation away empty handed.
Then another dinner was eaten. That
was IN July. Practically the same
guests met at the Brunswick. in New
York city. The question then was not
how TO help Plat but how TO block
Mckinley. Then and there the favor
lte-son programme was fixed up. Plat

gold, as measured against about all the
other commodities that human effort
produces, is due to improved machine
ry. modern facilities for transportation,
over production or what not; the Bos-
ton Herald, on call, can prove the utter
fallacy of this theorizing. The men
who are in control in the eastern
money centers tell us that the silver
agitation itself. by creating distrust,
depresses the business world. Yet these
same men insist that the agitation is
kept up by a few thin-brained luna
tics. Do the almost measureless mill
ions of money in the business world
stand in dread of a feeble contingent
answering that description?
Not. we repeat in general discussion
of the silver question but merely to
meet the Boston Herald's query, the
people Of neutrality-suspicious. in spite
of untoward legislation-are aware of
the distressing conditions that prevail
east of their home. They assert that
demonetization-whic was so covertly
accomplished that the Boston Herald
didn't know what had happened till
months afterward-they assert that
the decentralization of silver is a chief
factor in bringing about depressed
conditions; they insist that the resto-
function as final redemption money
will herald better times. Give. they
say, to the silver dollar it's honest func-
ton and it will silence the people who
have denounced IL as dishonest The
wonder is, as far as the going price of
the metal is concerned, that it has
stood a quarter of a century of perse-
cution so well. Suppose that, robbing
a cereal of it's normal function, the
congress had ordained, in 1873, that the
consumption of wheat in bread and
otherwise should be limited strictly to
two days in each week; how would the
price of wheat have fallen?
What the people of Montana ask is
that silver be restored to the perform
ance of it's legitimate function; they
have abiding faith in its ability to
show itself as always hitherto, under
a putty easy W In NbN PSNi ohN poA
of gold. This done, their belief is that.
at day not distant, the communities
where the Boston Herald has readers
will be as prosperous as, in that valu-
able journal, the state of Montana is
very justly described to be.
Thus the people of Montana believe
that they perceive the causes of exist
ing bad conditions and that they pre-
scribe the remedy that will avail. Now
will the Boston Herald briefly sum up
the situation, reciting the causes and
pointing out the way of escape? We
Montana people would appreciate an
effort to that end; STILL we suspect that
our gifted contemporary will continue
TO attune its strings to the ancient
lamentation that If we restore silver
our gold will take wings

Reported Gold Find--Is it True'

McMINNvILLE, Or, March 20.-The
discovery of a mineral lode Is reported
here; and If reports be true 1t is the
richest deposit that has been found on
the coast for many years. II was made
by an old Cornish miner, Henry Sem
mems, who has recently been over the
gold fields of South Africa, and is pres
ident and manaser ofthe Cook Kitchen
mine in Clatsop county, Wash. The
lode is said to contain gold, silver,
nickel and copper in great quantities,
and lies In the foothills of this place,
extending up to and beyond the
summit Of the Coast mountains. Crop
pings Of the lode have been found on
about 10000 acres, and is q conglom-
crate of twisted, gnarled and fragmen.
tary, dark brown and gray rock, both
volcanic and sedinentary. 1t is said
to he similar to that found in the
Transvaal gold fields, and Is contrary
to all known mineral deposits found
on the Pacific coast, in its geological
formation. Gold has been known to
exist in small quantities in the foot
hills here for years, but not in paying
quantities, and the mother lode could
not be located by prospeetors, as they
always looked for the common gold
bearing quartz usually found in other
mines of the coast.
There are those here who profess to
believe the whole scheme hoax, got
ten up to deceive and make money;
but the men who live here, and are
engaged in the enterprise are above
reproach. 1t would take vast amount
Of testimony to convince people here
that they would lend themselves to
perpetrate a stupendous fraud on the
public. So there is no little excitement
among those who have been let into
the secret, and the continued favorable
news received from the locators, who
have been digging, blasting and pros
pectlng, makes the news to good to be
kept, and it is now being told private
ly from friend to friend.

first published, several newspapers
have stated that 1t was q canard. The
