should rot do our part in aiding the
cause in doubtful sections.
FALSE CLAIMS.

The national bankers OF the United
States have held session at st. Louis
and resoluted that all the patriotism,
honesty and financial knowledge in the
country is centered in them, and that
Mckinley must be elected or the coun-
try will be ruined. These are the same
gentlemen who told US few years ago
that an attempt on the part of the
United States to resume specie payment
would bring panic and devastation. We
resumed" in spite of them, and man.
aged to escape the evils they predicted.
So it will be with the reconciliation of
silver. The results will not especially
benefit the bankers, but it will bring
prosperity to the country Ut large, and
that is what is needed. What ie essential
at this time is little more real faith in
the people and American institutions
and considerably less talk about patriot.
ism and honesty. People are naturally
disposed to look with suspicion upon a
class of men who are continually adver,
tising their virtues and that, too, at the
expense of others of their fellow citizens
who differ with them. In this broad
land no class has monopoly upon in,
telligence, patriotism and honesty, and
the assumption of the bankers that they
have is false and insulting.

STILL ANGRY,

1t is evident the soothing influences OF
the Butte conference have not made a
lasting impression on the stony heart Of
the Mckinley Yellowstone journal. 1t
is supporting the Montana republican
state ticket because the goldbugs cap
tured that aggregation, and the silver
republicans are expected to vote for it,
as matter of good faith. The Journal
will not only accept but demands these
silver votes, but at the same time it loses
no opportunity for showing its utter con-

Last Saturday Gov. Altgeld made q
speech in Chicago to an audience that
was measured by the packing capacity
OF the hall in which he spoke and which
WAS as enthusiastic as it was numerous
The speech was an answer to the alleged
arguments in favor of gold made by Carl
Schurz and Bourke Cochran in recent
addresses in that city.
The governor in his speech filled the
bill in all respects, but it is not of that
we desire to speak; on the contrary, we
wish to call attention to the audience
rather than the speaker. In lengthy
report of the gathering the goldbug
Times Herald says:
"Leading democrats were not conspic
uous by their presence in the audience -
and "moet of the vice presidents who sat
upon the platform were chiefs of labor
organizations"
The two sentences convey information
that is OF significance. They express
the well-known fact that in this cam
paign the people have rebelled against
the rule OF leaders and bosses and set up
in political business for themselves.
Those who were conspicuous by their
absence were men who for years have
enjoyed positions of honor and trust at
the hands of the people and who had
foolishly imagined that they owned the
Masses that the creature was greater than
the creator. The Chicago convention
put veto upon this idea and rclegated
those gentlemen to the rear, and there
they are liable to remain for some time.
In their stead there were on the plat
form genuine representatives Of the
masses. Men who are not seeking Office
and cmoluments; men who IS a part Of
the masses voice their sentiments, but do
rot claim to control the votes. We refer
TO the "Chiefs of labor organizations" "
The absence of the political bosses
and the presence OF the workingmcn ia Il
hopeful sign for the cause. lis tho
best answer that can be made to the
silly claims of the Mckinley men that
the labor element will support the St.
Louis candidates. The goldbugs may
have the bosses to lend alleged respecta-
bl!ity to their meetings. We are well
satisfied to exchange them for the toll
ers, both in public gatherings and at the
polIs.

Very much to the disgust and disap-
pointment of the goldbugs, a fusion has
been effected between the democrats,
populists and free coinage republicans
in North Carolina. That state was
always safe for the Bryan and Sewall
ticket, but the new deal makes assurance
doubly sure. Republican prophets will
at once drop North Carolina from the
doubtful column in their estimates.

made it manifest by its applause for
Bryan. This was the only opportunity

In the city of Anaconda the sum Of
$4,000 has been subscribed as contri-
button 10 the democratic national cam
pairn fund. The committee is in need
OF money for legitimate expenses and has
issued call soliciting contributions in
small sums, the object being to make it,
in fact, a popular subscription. While
the committee will cheerfuly accept any
amount from 30 cents up, those who can
not afford to give more than 50 cents or
dollar naturally hesitate to send SO small
sum to New York There are many persons
10 Great Falls who feel this way and
will willingly contribute 81 toward a
fund. IL this is done several hundred
dollars can be raised and sent in bulk
In his call for popular aid Chairman
Jones Of the national committee re-
queeted the democratic newspapers to
take charge OF subscription lists. In re
sponse to this request from the chair
man, and in order that all who desire to
contribute may have an opportunity to do
so, THE TRIBUNE will receive and receipt
for contributions Of any size and forward
them TO national headquarters The
names Of contributors, unless they desire
otherwise, will be published from day to
day in these columns. The time is short
and money is much needed by the ma

wish to help the cause to the extent Of
their ability should not delay in handing
in contributions. 1t will be money we'll

The one and only question at issue in
this campaign is whether this is a gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
and for the people, or whether il is Il
government of millionaires and trusts.
There is no dodging this. On the money
question, the gold side with Mckinley
as its nominal leader, is arrayed the ag-
gregated wealth of the country, and it is
using it's immense power unscrupulous-
ly to stille the voice of the people. On
the silver side, represented by Bryan, are
the masses, struggling under the weight
OF depression brought about by the gold
standard. This is the line on which the
contest is being fought. Money may be
successful, though we do not believe it
will be. 1t cannot be that the people
will vote themselves into slavery, and
that is what they will do if Mckinley is
elected.

Anent the fusion ticket, which is still

misunderstood, and, at the same time,
voices the opinion Of all the gentlemen
Of both sides, who were parties to the
combination ticket. The republicans,
naturally, do not like this; they are not
expected to. The new ticket is the
death warrant to their political aspira.

The Mckinley men in Yellowstone
county are still Of the opinion that no
B'yeDizad republican" shall hold Office
in Montana, if they can prevent it, For
day or two after the Iielena convention
the Billings Gazette appeared to be
reasonable and expressed an intention to
support the state ticket, but it must
have got prod in the ribs from some
source, for it has again changed its tune
In late issue it refers to the coming
republican county convention and gives
warning that if acceptable men are not
nominated 1.-THE voters will perform that
duty on election day by ignoring party
lines and supporting the most capable
men," This threat translated into En-
glish means that the silver republicans
OF Yellowstone county will be slaughtered
by the gold wing. The lines will be
drawn in that county and it is probable
they will be drawn in Cascade county.
What do the silver republicans in this
county intend to do about it?
