SAID by OTHER FELLOWS.

The spectacle Of the national dem
Ocracy declaring for free silver ec0ill-
age would exitc mirth were it not
such a serious matter to the Ameri-
can people. The idea of the national
democracy being sincerely in favor
Of that proposition is too ridiculous
to be entertained. Less than three
years ago a democratic congress as
sassinatcd the silver purchase law,
by which d market was provided for
over four million ounces Of silver per
month: and this fact plainly written
in the record is an X ray upon the
present silver professions Of the dem
ocracy. The present alleged attitude
Of the democracy upon the silver
question is the eliminating atrocity
Of political deception. Press.
The prevaricator's season is fast
approaching, and wonderful as t may
seem to man up a tree, it is COM
ing on in double turn. The biggest
liars, as is no more right and proper,
will lead off at Missoula the latter
part Of this month, and by the time
they swap" fabrications until their
tongues are tired the disciples OF Sir
lsaalS Walton will take q whirl at
the game and show the newspaper
fraternity that they are pretty good
liars themselves. Col jim Brown,

pays much attention to democratic
conventions nowadays. They are re-
gardcd more as Il survival Of ancient
customs than as having any influence
on the public opinion of today. The
democratic party has earned for it,

An independent Line.

St, Paul, June l0,-It is pretty
generally understood that General
Manager Warren, Of the Great
Northern, has resigned from the
position of general manager of the
Montana Central, and that the line
will hereafter be managed as an in-
dependent line, with its own general
officers. 1t will be remembered that
in March, when the annual meeting
Of the Montana Central was held
President HILL: ,:of the Great North
crn, was named president to succeed
Samuel Hill, his son-in]aW. This
fact, with Mr.. Warrcn's resignation,
is taken to mean that the Montana
road is to have an individual autOn-
omy. No circulars have yet been is
sued and it is not known who will
succeed Mr.. Warren us general man

same as that which was made as to

The Protest of the Sound Money Men
Unavailing.
Macon, Ga, June 25.-The adoption OF
the platform and resolutions was the
last thing done by the convention. The
committee was out much longer than was
expected, as the platform had been pref
ty well shaped up before hand. When IL
was finally presented, there were two
reports. A majority report declaring for
silver, and a minority report against IT,
The minority report which was brought
in by Capt John Triplett of Thomas
county and w. II. Love of Berrieu. was
simply a brief protest against the silver
plank. 1t was received with some show
of demonstration by the sound money
delegates, but the silverites were so
readily understood to have been made
merely to put the sound money men on
record. The platform as adopted is as
follows:
Resolved, first, That the administration
of the present executive of the affairs Of
the state of Georgia deserves the hearty
commentator of the people of the whole
state.
Resolved, second, That the people Of
the state of Georgia are indebted to the
democratic party for the present system
of public schools, that places the means
of an elementary education within the
reach of every child of the common wealth.
and we pledge the party the extension and
the perfection of the system.

the first time 1 have had the pleasure of
calling a democratic convention together
or being a delegate to one in the city of

ITO my recollection it is the first state
convention that has convened in Macon
since the war. 1t is an honor that / ap-
preciate to preside oyer this state demo-
cratic convention in the hospitable genial
and progressive city of Macon. The cOur-
tesy that has been extended TO US by the
committee of arrangements is appreciated
and will never be forgotten When the
state democratic executive committee
convened il Atlanta few months ago,
delegation came from the city of Macon
asking that the state convention be held
in the Central City. The committee, by
majority vote, decided in favor of this
city. We were assured then that If we
came here we might expect at the hands
of the democrats of the county of Bibb
in the next state and national elections
same spirit Of unity and enthusiasm may
find a Judgement in the hearts of other
democrats in every city, county and mill
tia district in Georgia, so that in the com
ing elections we may carry this state by
such an unprecedented majority as 10

six months ago every indication point

ocratic party. We were not certain then
that we could get a candidate TO accept
the nomination for President, but we are
sure now that we will have no serious
trouble on that line when the national
convention cOnvenes in the city of Chica-

ton points to a great democratic victory
in both state and national elections.

Boston, June 25.-It is estimated by
gentlemen interested in the short time
movement that 100000 cotton spindles
in New England win be idle during July
