Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-02

The rounds of applause that greeted
the name of Chas. S. Hartman at the
opera house meeting were the best evil
dence Of the estimation in which he ia
held in this community. This should be
lesson to the men who arc seeking
office on the republican ticket. II they
had done aa Hartman and boldly de-
clared for Bryan and free coinage, while
they would not have been elected, they
would at least have deserved the respect
OF their fellow citizens. 1t is now very
manifest that in this battle the people
have no use for trmmers and they surely
have no use for Mckinley men, whether
they support him openly or under cover,
az some Of the republican county candi-
dates are suspected Of doing.

WHERE DO THEY STAND.

The handful of Mckinley men in Great
Falls must have an object in organizing,
but up to date they have not announced
what the object is. In the eastarn part
of the state the gentlemen Of the Nc
Kinley creed are not so reticent. They
boldly declare that they will knife every
silver republican who shows his head.
This plan will probably be followed by
the Great Falls club, though the men,
bers have not had the courage to de-
clare such policy. Here is the way the

Election FIGURES.

The democratic and populst commit
tees of Kansas have made canvass of
the state and announced that it will give
$4,000 majority for Bryan. The claim
may be a little extravagant, and as a
matter OF fact we can afford to get along
with considerably less than the majority
named. However, the figures show that
the state is safe for Bryan. In the same
line, but coming from different source,
is the story from Iowa. 1t was only a
few days ago that James Creelman, the
special correspondent of the anti Bryan
New York World, published an inter-
view with the secretary Of the republican
state committee of Iowa. in which it
was stated the committees canvass
showed a detection of 10000 votes
and that the Mckinley outlook
was gloomy. And so it is in
all the other ocalled doubtful states.
Republicans by the thousands have been
converted to the free coinage cause and
will vote for Bryan. To offset these
known facts the goldbug press is doub-
ling its shouts and making the moot alb
surd claims, but Hanna and his lieuten-
ants know better. They realize that
tidal wave is sweeping over the country
and that it will be next to impossible to
stop it. They have not yet given up
hope, though they are at the pOint of
desperation. More money, renewed at.
tempts at coercion and intimidation, an
increase of bluster and brass bands is
the order Of the day. They are keeping
up appearances and it keeps them busy
to do that. In the meantime Bryan con-
tinues on his wonderful tour, meeting
and addressing the masses and making
votes by the thousands. The signs are
ali in favor Of the triumph Of the peoples
cause.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-02

The populists of Sand Coulee fully re-
alize the situation and will do all in their
power to aid the silver cause. Read the
resolutions adopted by the party in the
progressive mining camp and printed in
another column. They pledge their votes
to the national, state and county fusion
ticket and give good and sufficient rea-
sons for doing so. Those are the kind of
men to tie to. They know what they
want, know what they will do and are
not afraid to declare themselves.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

The meeting at the opera house Wed
nesday, to listen to the speeches by
Hon. Robt. B. Smith and Hon. G. B.
Nolan, silver candidates for governor
and attorney general, was fair index to
the sentiment of this community. Had
the theatre been double in capacity it
could not have accommodated all who
desired to attend, for greater number
were turned from the doors than sue
ceeded in gaining admission, and every
available inch, including standing room,
was occupied. 1t was an auspicious
opening Of the campaign. The speeches
we're forceful, eloquent and logical, and
the audience was in sympathy with the
speakers, as was evidenced by the hearty
and enthusiastic applause The meeting
was fair notice Of where the voters of
Great Falls stand on the all-important
question Of silver, and it was made very
evident that their ballots will be cast for
state and county officers who are open,
manly, consistent and persistent advocates
OF free coinage. Don't make any mistake
about this. The outpouring Wednesday
does not admit OF a doubt. Gentlemen
on the republican ticket who are afraid
to let the people know whether they are
for Bryan or Mckinley had better profit
by the lesson. They may think their
policy Of silence will fool the voters, but
they are only fooling themselves. Cas-
cade county is for free coinage and for
men who bravely advocate it.

troops to protect the constitutional
right Of free speech; and it would also
have given him and those who think
with him chance to refer to the lack of
decency in the undesirable states" But
the location Of the scene and the person
mel OF those who participated renders
this impossible. The soil of sanity New
England and the sons Of wealth are ex-
empt from either criticism or punish
ment. 1t makes vast difference in the
eyes of class in the east at this time
who is abused.
This brutal conduct on tho part of the
students has not injured either Mr..
Bryan or his cause, but it is we'll to call
attention to it as showing the intensity
of feeling among the money classes
against silver and the measures to which
they will resort to demonstrate their ami
mostly. Mark Hanna, Mckinley, and
are welcome to all the capital
they can make out of the New Haven
incident. 1t is no worse than the brib-
cry and intimidation that have hereto
fore characterized their campaign.

CAMPAIGN LIES,

AS election day approaches and our
friends who are candidates on the repub-
lican county ticket see defeat staring
them in the face they have resorted to
the most questionable methods in the
vain hope of bolstering up their cause.
The henchmen OF these candidates, no
doubt inspired by the candidates them
selves, have been more than busy for the
past two weeks circulating false reports
regarding certain of the nominees on the
Democratic -populist ticket in the ex-
pectation they can create dissatisfaction
among the voters. They have started
and kept moving any number OF rumors,
none of which Lad foundation in fact
Such mode of campaign cannot have
the desired effect A campaign liar is
about the most contemplate in the
family Of liars, and his mendacity al
ways recoils. His work is too coarse.
1t insults the intelligence of the
voter, and the average man just at
this time is not in mood to be
worked for sucker The repub-
lican candidates, unmindful Of this,
are engaged in playing the voters for
fools. In pursuance of this policy they
have been ringing the changes on alleged
trouble in the democratic ranks growing
out Of the fusion with the populista.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The ticket as agreed upon is entirely
satisfactory to the great body of voters,
certainly enough to elect it, and any
statements to the contrary are the
mouthings Of men who would be bene-
fitted by its defeat. 1t is not necessary
to refer in detail to the many falsehoods
now going the rounds One of the most
recent is effectually disposed OF by
card from H. S. Greene, printed in an.
other column. Coupled with the report
concerning Mr.. Greene was story that
f. n. Baldwin, candidate for constable,
had been dropped. This is also untrue
Mr.. Baldwin has not been taken from
the ticket nor will he be. We do not
care to refer to any other of the
roorbacks, they deny themselves, but
we will say that the especial re-
publican candidates who are responsible
for them and in whose interest they
are being made will in the end profit but
little by them. An attack on the lines
of these attacks is indecent. Let the
candidates bear in mind that they are
open to criticism, and if the campaign is
to be conducted by abuse they may find
themselves victims. The fusion candi-
dates can stand all the lies that may be
circulated about them, but the repub-
lican candidates will suffer if the truth
be told concerning them.

No estimate of the number of peonle

No estimate of the number Of people
who gathered in and about Tammany
hall Tuesday night to hear and see
Bryan was sent out. The dispatches,
however, indicate that it was a monster
gathering and declare that for enthus-
iasm it has never been equalled in the
great metropolis 1t is such assemblages
that inspire the silver people with con-
fidence and cause Mark Hanna to feel
sick. When he read the accounts of the
great demonstration, Hanna at once or.
dered an extra number of special trains
for Canton. Other refuge, had he none.

FRIDAY. OCT. ., 1896.

Rev. Parkhurst OF New York is the
latest of the sensational preachers to
espouse the cause of the goldbugs and
turn his pulpit into political platform.
In his sermon Sunday the notoriety seek
ing parson out-Heroded Herod in his de-
nunciation of the silver men, but he gave
no reason why any one should vote for
the gold standard. Like all others who
believe wsth him, he substituted abuse
for argument. Such talk was no doubt
more palatab!e to his congregation than
the dam nation that his creed called
upon him to preach.

just why the officers of the Mckinley
and Hobart club Of Great Falls refused
to have the list Of membership published
is puzzler, 1t cannot be that large
majority are ashamed or afraid to have
it known they are for the goldbug candi-
date and against the interests of the
masses in the country. 1t may be that
some of the republican candidates for
county offices have signed and are un-
willing to have the fact advertised. 1t
may be that an undue proportion of EN-.
ployes at the smelter would be shown,
and people would draw conclusions, or it
may be that the list does not contain IT'S
names, the number as announced by the
secretary. Whatever the reason, it will

IN A BAD FIX.

Republican candidates on the county
ticket are wearing rather long faces.
Some of them have been making quiet
canvass and the outlook is anything but
encouraging. They do not see where
they are going to get the votes necessary
to elect. There is growing feeling of
suspicion and distrust among them. 1t is
whispered that certain ones are ready to
make trades in order to help themselves
and sacrifice the other fellow. There is
nothing to this, for the democrats and
populists do not have to trade. But the
fact that idea prevails among the repub-
licans is proof of the utter demoraliza-
tion that prevails. Add to this the sud.
den springing up of the Mckinley club
and the uncertainty as to what it's few
members will do in regard to the county
ticket and the further knowledge that
many silver republicans will not vote for
Mckinley men and it will be seen that
the Office seekers Of the G. o. P. are in
bad fix. And the beauty of it
is they know it. From their standpoint
it is too bad. They thought they had
cinch that could not be broken. That
fusion fooled them. 1t was unexpected
and in their opinion ungrateful. 1t has
made them mad and they are saying all
manner Of spitetul things about the flu.
sionists and not neglecting, when op-
portunity offers, to take a sly swipe at
their colleagues on their own ticket.
There can always be found men who hope
against hope, but there are but few of
that class on the republican ticket.
They are disgusted and disheartened
and they have reason to be. When the
fusion ticket was perfected the doom of
the republicans was sealed All that is
left them is to growl at each other and
everybody elee

The press Of the country has spoken in
no uncertain tones in denunciAtion of
the insults offered Mr.. Bryan 10y the Yale
students on the occasion of his visit to
New Haven. To this the local papers
have proven notable exception, for
they have attempted to gloss over the
outrage by calling it the pranks of col
lege boys. But no matter what may
have been said we have awaited in vain
for an expression of opinion on the part
of the faculty of the college. 1t seems
strange that one has not been forth
coming, A stern rebuke for such con-
duct is demanded, and rigid course of
study in manners might be introduced
with benefit in Yale.

the names of members? Are the major
ity ashamed to have it known that they
have signed, or does the list include re-
publican candidates on the county ticket?
Many are of the opinion the latter ia the
case. These are good times for men to
declare on which side of the fence they
stand, and it will be impossible for those
seeking office to carry water on both
shoulders. There must be show. down
or the voters will know the reason why.
