HELENA, Mont, Sept s.-United
States Senator Carter, who is in the east
and cannot attend, has written letter
TO the Republican state convention,
which meets tomorrow, explaining the
action of himself and the four other
memebrs of the Montana delegation TO
the st. Louis convention in reserving the
rights of the Republicans of the state
to accept or reject the declaration in
favor of the restoration of silver by in
ternational agreement. The senator
says in the letter:
LAS a Republican, I believe in the
free coinage of silver and protection to
American labor and American industry.
I do not believe in free coinage coupled
with free trade, and do not believe that
free coinage with free trade can be sue
cessfully established ana maintained by
our government. The free trade. policy
will render the establishment Of bimet-
allism an utter impossibility.
THE party in Montana should, in my
opinion, endorse the entire national
platform except as to the feature de-
caring international conditions preca-
dent to the reconciliation of silver. For
that declaration this convention should
substitute a declaration for the free
coinage of gold and silver in the same
manner as our state conventions have
heretofore declared.
Firmly believing that the best interests
of our state and the nation at large will
be subserved by the election of McKin-
ley and Hobart, 1 shall give them my
support, Notwithstanding the national
platform does not meet my approval in
one particular. The few who seek to
find justification in the platform for ad-
vocacy of the single gold standard, are
at war with the party and it's platform.
Their discordant utterances are to be
regarded as unavoidable noise, incident
to a great political campaign. To those
of our party who feel constrained on ac-
count of matter of method of one issue
to depart from us on all other national
questions at the coming election we
should manifest q spirit of liberation
well knowing that in due season they will

The mere fact that an editor or speak
er is on your side in politics, says an
exchange, does not prove that he is
wise nor honest; and the mere fact that
he is not on your side does not prove
that he is either a fool or knave. The
true man always tries to see the good
side of his opponents and to find out
what truth there may be in his ideas.
The little mind always looks for the

Base BAN ON the College Campus.

Base ball is getting to be one the
chief amusements of leasurely and
sportively inclined Hot Springs resi-
dents and visitors on Saturday after
moons. Last Saturday the game be-
tween the town boys and the school
was especially interesting and was wit
messed by good-sized crowd. Altho'
brilliant plays were not unusually
numerous the score was SO close after
the sixth inning that everybody was
on the tip-toe of excitement. Several
pretty double and triple plays we're
made. The brilliant catch of fly by
Daily in the left field during the tenth
inning and the neat capture of long
foul by McKnab were also features of
the game. John Parks, who is a old
time and enthusiastic base ball player.
started out by playing shortstop, but
was SO lame and sore from the effects
of recent games that he was compelled
to withdraw during the second inning.
Other changes in players and positions
were made during the game but the
personnel was as follows at the close:

ELEGANTLY ENTERTAINED.
The Senior Glass of the Black Hill. College
Guests of one of its Members.

| Guests of one of It's Members.
Charley Stewart entertained the
members of the senior class of the
Black Hills college at his home on
College hill on Wednesday night. The
spacious parlors were attractively
trimmed with crepe paper in the class
colors (blue and Yellow and potted
plantsand fragrant flowers in profusion
adorned the mantles, stands and tables
The figures '96" were conspicuously
displayed. The guests began to arrive
shortly after o'clock and at nine the
house was filled with arollocking party
of young ladies and gentlemen. The
first amusement of the evening was
the unrayelling of sort of rebus, and
the sport was entered into with enthu.
siasm. Artisticly printed folded cards
with dainty little pencils attached to
yellow silk cords, were passed around.
The folder bore on the first page a
picture of the great seal of South
Dakota while on the second page was
printed list OF fourteen queries, ask
ing for different objects to be found
in the seal. After laboring for nearly
an hour over the puzzling questions,
the cards were collected and an exam
ination disclosed the fact that A. b..
Gidley and Miss Lottie Denman were
tie for the first prize, consisting of a
handsome souvenir spoon, each having
answered ten of the questions correctly.
The matter was decided by lot, Mr..
Gidley being the winner. Mr.. Robinson
was the unlucky recipient of the
"booby'' prize-a "rooster whistle"
The next amusement was something of
a novelty. The scheme was to make
pictures of various animals on cards
with chewing gum. The work produced
was, of course, artistic in every sense of
the word ~, and the trick was to guess
what the pictures were intended to
represent. And it was guess in most
instances, too. The cards formed an
amusing collection when tackled up on
the wall. Harry Stewart carried off
the prize in this contest, though his
own attempt at gum sculpture was
a dismal failure and his work was ssyery
coarse as some one was heard to re.
mark. Refreshments, the daintest and
most delicious imaginable, were served
and after an hour or more spent in
social converse and in listening to the
rendition of vocal and instrumental
selections the guests departed for their
homes. 1t was unquestionably one of
the most enjoyable gatherings of young
people ever held in the CITY. Those
present were:
