After the adoption Of the report of the

Chairman Scott made short address de-
tining the attitude of the party and the
resolutions were then read as below:
The republican party Of Deer Lodge county, in
the state of Montana, in convention assembled
in the city of Anaconda this 4th day of September
1896:
Demands the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio OF 16 to l. With
out waiting for the consent Of any foreign govern
| ment, both Silver and gold to be full legal tender
for all debts, both public and private to all
amounts.
1T demands a protection that protects all
equally; the farmer as we'll as the manufacturer;
the laborer as well as the clipper OF bond coupons
In order to do this we most emphaticnlly demand
the reconciliation of silver us it was previous to
its decentralization in 1873. @.@.~M
1t demands of congress the re-enactment of the
law Of reciprocity. initiated by that matchless
statesman, the late James G. Blaine, said law
| having been repealed by a democratic congress-
We favor the election Of United States senators
by direct vote of the people. The present
| method Of selection is susceptible or abuse, and
too often money is more powerful than brains in
gaining the coveted prize.
We are opposed to the issuing of bonds by the
United States government in times OF peace We
most emphatcally denounce the methods adopted
and carried out by Grover Cleveland and John &.
Carlisle OF secretly contracting for the sale Of
| government bonds to a private syndicate, thereby
causing loss to the United States government of
| So 600 In one bond deal and unlawful enrich
ment to this amount of a company Of usurt rs.
| We denounce the administration of Grover
| Cleveland lis an administration unparalleled in
| disaster. incapacity and dishonor. Disaster, in
| that it, assisted by the conspirng Of the Wall
| street bankers. repealed the Sherman silver pur-
chasing law and precipitated upon us the panic of
| 1888, whose evil effects have been visited upon
! every family of the wage-earner and producer in
the land; incapacity, in that it has failed to give
| us relief from this panic and has failed to pro-
vide a sufficient revenue for the running exper-
ses OF the government; dlshonor, i'll that it has
| n Ia in tbnt1 ffa1
tion to foreign nations that we have Il right to
| claim.
| We heartily endorse the action of our United
| States senators and our representative In COIL
greSs In their action at the st. Louis convention
and commend those of our delegates who stood
| by them
| We emphatically demand the denomination of
1 Charles S. Hartman for congress at the republi-
can state convention to be held at Helena on the

minority report was then handed in
as follows:
We most heartily endorse the action OF our con
| gresham, the Hon. Charles S. Hartman, in sup
porting the Hon. Henry NJ Teller In the course he
and others pursued in walking out Of the ST.
Louis republican national convention of June
last, after said convention in the financial plank
OF their platform, had rejected Dimetalllsm and
declared for the single gold standard. We most
emphatlcally demand his denomination for con-
gresham ut the republican state convention, to
be held In Helena on the 9th inst. (Signetl)

| OLIVER Lesser.
The effect of this was to single out Mr..
Hartman for and to exclude
Senators Mantle and Carter therefrom;
it met with overwhelming defeat and the
maj ority report was adopted. A resolu
tion was then offered by 0. B. O'Bannon
and passed endorsing the Anaconda
Standard for its bipartisan support of
free silver and the republican silver
leaders Of the Northwest.
