1T Us SIMPLE.

The presidential proposition, sim
plified with reference to Republican
and Populist electors, is as follows:
First-Are you in favor of the free
coinage OF silver?
Secondhand do you not consider the
currency question the paramount issue
OF this campaign
Third-Can you conceive of anv leg
islation that would do Montana more
good than free coinage of silver:
This issue is currency, pure and
simple. Before the campaign is half
over the tariff discussions will be rel
egated to the And if your mental
answer to the above questions:is YES"
there but n thing for you to do, Law
aside Your lesser political principles
and vote for VIM. J. Bryan.

The silver republicans are seeking
for nothing except the rehabilitation of
silver. Men who are honestly for gold
because they believe in that sort of
thing are to be respected, but woe be

gain, blocks the road leading to
Montana's prosperity.

TIE PLAN or CAMPAIGN.

The Republican state central commit
tee met in Butte Tuesday and outlined d
plan for the guidance of republicans
which we think will be conducive to
harmony and satisfactory to all factions
except extremists. II is in effect that
the convention shall be held in Helena
on the 9Th OF next month. a state ticket
to be put up first by the state conven-
ton and the St. Louis platform to be
adopted with the exception Of the
financial plank. for which a ringing
silver clause, such as only Montanian's
know how to frame, substituted. The
silver men are then to proceed to in
slorse Bryan and Sewell electors, and
nominate Hartman for congress. The
Mckinley men can remain in the con-
%vention, and nominate Mckinley elect
crs if they so desire.
This practically solves the problem
which has been troubling republicans
for several months. provided The plan.
as outlined, is carried out. The great
mass OF republicans desire to see the
state in the Bryan column with the
biggest majority possible. The in
1orsement of the Bryan electors by the
Republican state convention will mean
a silver vote of exceedingly handsome
proportions. Personally, we would
like to see it 10000. Perhaps it Will
be. Mon1anians should be for Mon
tana.
The plan as outlined, will give the
Mckinley men the opportunity of nam.
ing Mckinley electors. if they consider
they have q ghost OF a chance and de.
sire to do SO. The delegations from
the wool counties will undoubtedly de.
mand that such action be taken.
The plan will allow both factions te
support the state ticket, and at the
same time vote on the presidential
proposition as, conscience and interests
dictate.

Cattle Qlarantlned.

1t was reported last evening that cat
tie from California for eastern shipment
would not be allowed to enter certain
eastern markets and il shipped would
be placed in quarantine. The reason
for this order in the east is said to be
owing to the fact that in a recent ship
ment from California diseased cattle
were found. A shipment was to have
been made from this point today of cat
tie from the northern part of California,
but the idea was abandoned yesterday
on receipt OF the news that they would
mot be received and they were unloaded
and turned out in Long Valley until
more definite particulars can be ascer-
tanned. Ii the report is true that quar-
antine will be enforced against cattle
from California it will effect this maket
materially.

Political EmbarraS

The ernbarrassments attending the Chi
cago platform are rapidly being developed
The original complaint in silver circles was
that existing governmental woes were
nearly all to be ascribed to the demoneti-
cation of silver. and the original proposition
was that the silver men ofAlI parties, put

should get together and set silver on its
feet again. platform on this line was
what i'll many quarters was expected of the
Chicago convention. But another line was
followed-a line so zigzagged that 1t be-
wilders and alarms some people-and the re-
suit is COMMISSIONS and divisions among sill
Yer men.
The case of MIR. Bailey of Texas illustrates
the diff. Guilty in one quarter. He is a demo-
crat-believes in lew tariff and all hat.
He advocates free coinage and so strongly
that he was willing that that be made the
issue this year. He went to Chicago as q
delegate to help bring that about. He spoke
and worked for that. But that policy failed.
So many things were put into the platform
Of which Mr.. Bailey does not approve that

next Congress. would have to antagonize
1t in opposing the legislation that would be
brought forward to make its promises
good Therefore. Mr. Bailey will not stand
for reelection. He drops out, and will
await developments.
The case Of Senator Don Cameron illus
trates the difficulty in another quarter. Mr..
cameron Is friend of silver-sO very warm
friend as to have sacrificed himself, many
believe to the white metal. He is going out
OF public life largely as the result of going
counter to the views Of his constituents on
the money question. He was on the list of
those anxious for straightout silver de-
liverance at Chicago. and partly pledged to
support a ticket so nominated. 1t is an
nounced now that Mr.. Cameron cannot sup
port the Chicago platform. 1t is too ex-
IRENE for him. He Is still for silver, but
the things with which silver has now been
allied are repuSnant to him, and he will
support Mr.. Mckinley.
The case of Mr.. Teller is peculiar. He
Is a republican in everything but his ad-
herence to the cause of silver The ST. Louis
PLATFORM Is not Objectionable to him in any
line except as 1t treats of the money uues-
uoh, anu 1t Is regarded as a safe statement

friends worked hard to accomplish such a
result. The scheme failed but all the same
Mr. Teller is committed. He feels himself
Obliged to support Mr.. Bryan. To reject the
nomination would subject him to the ac-
cusation of acting from influences of per-
sonal disappointment.
But are other western silver republicans
In sympathy with the full democratic plat
form! VIII they unreservedly accept the
populistic features of it and support it
unanimously and heartily at the polls? The
reported intention of Senator Cannon of
Utah. who bolted at st. Louis, to return
10 the republican party. may suggest the
doubt and hesitation which prevail on this
point In the average silver republican, and
the feeling that too much may be sacri-
neced IN the desire to gain silver free COIN
age will undoubtedly be strengthened by
the popIlistic endorsement of Bryan at st.
Louis. and the addition through the plat
form there adopted Of other populistic plans
and principles to those which the Chicago
nominee already represents.
The lesson taught Is that In the case Of
coalitions tt is not true that the whole is
equal to the sum Of all the parts The sill
yer coalition, II fusion Of its various ele-
ments were perfect, would be invincible;
but that fusion is not and cannot be per-
