THEY WON'T STAND IT
Silver Republicans in Helena Who
Say Goodbye to BOtkin.
THEY'VE HAD ALL THEY WANT
They Conclude That They We're
Fooled and by Resolution hey
Renounce the Cold
bug Candidate.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Oct. n.-The Silver Republi-
can club Of Lewis and Clarke county
tonight. at a regular meeting. took a
fall out Of Colonel Botkin's candidacy
for governor by unanimously adopting
the following resolutions:
Whereas, The political situation has
assumed O phase that requires every
advocate Of the free coinage Of silver.
In justice to the cause he represents. to
support for Office those only who are
faithful to the cause Of the white met
al and who do not seek, by word or
deed. to prejudice its interests In this
campaign. and
Whereas. The Hon. A. C. Botkin,
who was nominated by the late repub-
lican state convention under the
terms of the Butte conference agree
ment. has violated the spirit of neu-
trality a. to the financial issue that
divides the republican party Of this
state implied by that agreement and
has aligned himself with the gold wing
of the party and Is using the prestige
Of the nomination accorded him to aid
to the extent Of his ability In the cleo
tion of a man to the presidency Of the
United States who will If elected veto
free coinage bill when passed and do
his utmost to permanently ruin the
leading industry of this state; there
fore. be it
Resolved. BY the silver republicans
of the county of Lewis and Clarke that
we do hereby condemn the course pur-
sued by Hon. A. c. Botkin as incon-
sistent with the conditions under which
he was nominated as inlmical to the
cause of silver a. q violation Of the
confidence reposed in him by the
friends of silver and that we are under
neither moral nor political obligations
to accord him our support at the
polls"
Ever since It was discovered that
some Of the candidates on the ticket
with Botkin were using the honor con-
ferred on them by the state conven-
tion for the purpose Of promoting gold
bug interests in this state. the feeling
OF dissatisfaction has Increased. What
is known as the Butte agreement" at
first influenced many silver republi-
cans to accept the conclusions of the
state convention. They have made up
their minds that they are not called
upon to follow the candidates into the
Mckinley camp. They find that the
terms OF the agreement have been fla
grantly violated. and they therefore
renounce the whole thing. 1t is be-
lieved here that the action taken to-
night will be a precedent which sin
cere silver republicans in other cities
of the state will follow.

Mr.. Washburn refused to discuss the
matter. He was more communicative,
however, when told OF the resignation
OF Populist Elector w. H. Fellows OF
Georgia. 1T Is not surprising to me-"
said Washburn. You have no idea OF
the intensity OF feeling among the pop
ulists In that state. 1t cannot be ex-
aggerated."
"will It be followed by other reslgna-
tlons?"
Possibly"
what action Is Watson going to
take?"
1T will depend entirely upon the re-
suit OF my conference with Senator
Jones'"
From talk around popullst headquar-
tiers IL Is evident that small hopes are
entertained OF accomplishing the de-
sired fusion in Georgia. Unless fusion
Is effected II Is strongly intimated that
the populists will withdraw their elect
ors In Georgia. THAT means only one
thing" said a prominent popullst. land
that is that nlne-tenths Of them will
vote for Mckinley and fuse with the
republicans on the congressional ticket.
Populists and republicans there are In
the same boat. They have shared the
same humiliation. and Il Is only nat
ural that they should take such action.
There is one thing certain. There WI
be some pretty rapid movements
around here In the next four days and
probably heroic measures adopted"
