The voters Of this county will not toll
crate any straddling on the silver
question. Any candidate who assumes
to favor free coinage and McKinley's
election will be cast aside by the silver
republicans. who constitute the great
and almost unanimous strength OF that
party In jefferson. Never before were
our people so In earnest In cause.
Party lines on that question are prac-
tically obliterated. This feeling great

ernor down TO the lowest Office. 1t Is
more a question Of principle and less a
question OF individuality Of candidates
in this election than In any ever be-
fore held in Montana. BY some this

part OF a scheme to create a split. The
silver republicans, with a patriotism
worthy Of all praise. are supporting
the entire ticket. with possibly some
individual exceptions. where personal
friendship intervenes. They are do
ing this disinterestedly. as they asked
no concessions from either the demo-
Gratis or populists. and as a matter of
fact they are doing In proportion TO
their numbers more proselltizing than
either Of the other parties. Notably,
John ID. Losekamp. the original silver
man Of the county. and formerly one
of the most active republican leaders.

active silver propaganda. and flooding
the counties of Yellowstone. Fergus,
Sweet Grass and Carbon with silver lit
erature. Other erstwhile republican
leaders are actively working for the
silver cause. and with the democrats
and populist firmly united this county
may safely be set down In the Bryan
column. Good reports also come to US
from Fergus county, the largest WOOL

would estimate the total vote Of the
county at about 1900 Bryan's vote
will not fall short Of 1000. leaving Nc
Kinley's strength about 800 votes. This
is considered a very conservative esti-
mate. Hartman's vote will closely ap-
proximate that Of Bryan. while God
dard's vote will fall short Of McKin-
,ley's. For governor. smith will carry
the county by a good majority. and
Poindexter. for state auditor will lead
the state ticket by several hundred
votes. as he is very popular here In
his home county. The result Of the
vote on the remainder Of the state
ticket will probably be close, with
chances somewhat In favor OF the fu-
sion ticket. With an exceptionally
strong fusion county ticket In the field
the silver cause is in excellent shape
to make winning fight In Beaver

Great Falls. Oct. H.-In Cascade
county the democrats and populists
have fused on the state and county
candidates. Two years ago the COM
bined vote Of the democratic and pop
uilst parties was about 1900. The vote
OF the republican party was about
1.250. The majority of the combined
parties two years over the republican
party was about $50. This year ! esti-
mate that there will be $500 votes cast.
The increase Is principally at the town
OF Belt. At this place there will be an
Increase In the voting population Of
about 800, rs per cent Of which will vote
for the fusion ticket. From the most
reliable information at hand, based
upon estimates from different town
ships, the Bryan electors will get a
majority In this county Of not less
than 1900. l estimate the majority for
the state ticket at 1000 and the county
ticket from $50 TO 500. Two years ago
there was no disaffection in the repub-
lican ranks. This year they are more
or less demorallzed. while the demo-
cratic and populist parties are enthu-
siastic and united.

Bozeman, Oct 17-It is simply a
question of the size Of the majority in
Gallatin both on the national and the
state ticket. The farmers here are
thoroughly posted on the silver ques-
tion and they are alive to the advan-
tages to them. There are very few
republican farmers for Mckinley, and
the few profess to be silver men but
do not desire to vote for q democrat,
even II Of the new rejuvenated demo-
cratic party. The strength possessed
by the democratic county ticket has a
good influence on the state ticket, and
Gallatln will give handsome demo-
cratic majority all along the line. One
proof of this is that the republicans
could not create any enthusiasm at
their meeting while Bob Smiths meet
ing was one that has not been equaled
here in that regard. Farmers came
miles to hear him.

my opinion that every county In this

proportionate majority that Missoula

coed 5000 votes In the state. Men OF

Sewall. or course. here and there. we
find goldbug democrat and a goldbug
republican. but the great majority of
the people Of this county are for Bryan
and Sewall. In fact. there are very
few gold men outside of the city OF Mis-
soula. Their common expression Is
that politics cuts no figure In this
election. We are out for Bryan and
SewaIl and Bob Smith" Mr. Smith
and the entire state ticket will run
neck and neck with Mr.. Bryan. Mis-
soula regrets that Mr.. Smith could not
