GOLDBUG hCARECROW,

The strongest weapon that the great
corporations which favor Mckinley have
at their command is the threat that in
the event of the election Of Bryan mills
and factories will close, railroads will be-
come bankrupt, and the entire working
classes thrown out of employment. These
threats are as false as they are infamous.
After the election invested capital will
use all due efforts to get return from
the investment, and that is all there is
to it. The owners will attempt to build
up rather than destroy their property.
Those who control and manipulate these
great corporations are impressed with
the belief that it will be to their individ-
ual interest to continue the gold stand
ard, and for their own benefit they are
willing to subordinate the rights of stock
holders But even the managers, des-
perate as they are, will not care to 60
to the extent of wrecking prop
critics. Among other mon who have
spoken upon this subject none have
summed up the situation more
tereely and emphatically than Capt.
Couch, general manager of the Boston &
Montana properties. In his Butte in
terview he says: "When workingmen
are told every day that il Bryan is
elected the factories will all shut down
and tho cforac bo c]oeod %bof tho bopl>o
will go up and the whole country suffer
from panic, it has some effect on the
workingman. III that, of course, is the
verlest nonsense. Business men are not
going to fail just because Mckinley is
not elected. Employers are not going to
shut down their factories just for spite
work on their employees. There can be
no panic unless it is forced by the bank
ere, and l don't think they will care to
60 into that business any more''
A column could not explain the mat
ter more clearly. 1t is TO the interest of
the money men to secure the election of
Mckinley. To accomplish that they are
resorting to the despicsble methcd of
playing upon the fears of the poor; but
they are going a little too
far. No intelligent man can or
will believe that capitalist is
going to ruin himself Just for spite.
They are not built that way They are
looking for the best of it, and viii con-
tinue TO do go when Bryan is elected.
AZ a matter of fact many of the manu-
facturers are silver men at heart, but
they are under the thumb of the bank
ere' ring just as the Cleveland admins
tration has been. They are doing the
bidding Of their masters in adopting the
coercive measures toward employees. If
the masses see the thing in it's true light
and elect Bryan, the power of the bank
ers will be broken, and there will be a
general emancipation.

Cascade county republican committee
has headquarters in this city, but thus
far it is guiltless Of displaying any ma
tional candidate. Whom do the COM
mittee and the republican nominees sup
port? Are they for Bryan and silver or
Mckinley and gold? Now is the time to
speak out. Under which banner do they
march, or have they any principles that
they dare proclaim? The voters are
getting restless at the delay on the part
OF these gentlemen in declaring them
selves. Come to the front.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

The eprightly Anaconda Recorder,
for couple of years, has blossomed out
into an afternoon daily, and a good and
newsy one at that. The Recorder is re-
publican in politics, but to degree
atones for that sin by its able and per-
sistent advocacy of Bryan and Sewall,
Charles S, Hartman and free coinage.
We certainly wish John McMurray, the
rustling editor, success in his venture.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

Candidates Smith and Nolan are in the
eastern part of the state and are benp
accorded receptions that must silence the
silly claim of the goldbugs that that sec
ton is for Mckinley. There may be a
handful of irreconcilables over there who
support the Canton man, but they are
few and far between. The great mass Of
the voters are too loyal to the state and
its interests TO cast their ballots for L
man who has proclaimed his enmty tc
our greatest industry.

FRIDAY, OCT. 8, 1896.

The TRIBUNE has not been making
what may be called thorough canvass,
but it is in receipt of advices from all
sections of the county and they lead us
to remark with great confidence that the
gentlemen on the Democratic
ticket, whose names adorn the head Of
this column, will be elected by large ma
jorities. This is the situation in Cascade
county in a nutshell.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

The regular officers of the Great Falls
Mckinley club did not feel equal to the
task and they have chartered a special
custodian to guard the original roll of
membership This extraordinary care is
not to protect the document from at.
tacks by outsiders; on the contrary, it is
to keep it safe from the hands of repub.
lican candidates for county offices who
signed it, and who, while ready and will
ing to vote for Mckinley, do not care to
have the tell-tale record in existence. 1t
does not agree with the professions they
are making to the silver men.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

When the Great Falls Mckinley club
was organized an extravagant dispatch
announcing the fact was telegraphed to
Canton. 1t will now be in order for
Mark Hanna to reciprocate. What is
the matter with his getting up Mon
tana excursion to Canton? 1t would
add to the eclst of the Mckinley cam
paign in the state and afford several
gentlemen an opportunity to get their
names in the papers

III HAPFN FAMILY.

OF course, the Cascade county repub-
licans are happy family. There are
no dissensions in the ranks. No one of
them is carrying a knife to be used at
the polls in November. The candidates
who were turned down by the county
convention are just breaking their necks
to aid in electing those who drew the
empty prizes. A specimen Of the good
will and cordiality that obtains was seen
in the court house yesterday. 1t was
an object lesson in harmony, and it was
only sample. The knock down and
drag-out is the first occasion in which
the real republican brotherly love has
been strikingly demonstrated. 1t was
the avant courier. Others will follow.
The street corner and bar room talks re-
garding republican candidates only
differ in degree from the scene in the
commissioners room. The feeling is
just as intense, though it only finds vent
in words. For real, all-round, self
sacrificing band commend us to the re,
publicans Of Cascade county. The idea
that there are wounds to heal or any
jealousy or suspicion or ill-will among
them is absurd-unless you happen tc
listen to their speeches and are within
hearing of their examinations and re-
ordinations. Just at present the knife
is concealed in the sleeve or bootleg, il
will soon be worn openly.

CAN'T BE HONEST,

The republican candidates for county
offices are seeking to divert attention
from the two faced part they are play
ing by making attacks upon w. NJ
Cockrill. The gentleman spoken Of is
not in the county campaign, either as
candidate or adviser, nor has he ever
been. This mode of warfare, instigatcd
by the friends of Judge Benton and in
his interest, is rather shallow. The
judge had better make the canvass or
his merits or his "good looks" than by
abusing Mr.. Cockrill. The picture that
the judge is industriously circulatinG
among the voters of the county is a
credit to the artistic ability of the pho
tographer. The only improvement that
could be suggested would be to envelop
the figure in sillen gown. That would
add judicial dignity to the picture and
might have an effect. 1t is true that
judicial dignity and resorting to insinu-
ating ISLANDERS and falsehood are hardly
compatible, but there are men seeking
Office, even on the bench, who belieye
that the most contemplate methods ar.
admissible in campaign. A little les
photograph and little moro decency
would be in keeping with the ideal most
people have of the requirements thai
should be possessed by man askirg
the exalted position of judge.

LAWS OF GOD.

"We can support our position from
every point of view. We can quote tho
authority of those who stand high in
the nations councils. We can apply to
the money question the laws we see en-
forced every day, and we can gather tes-
timony from the analogies of nature.
am not old, but am old enough to have
learned that the laws of God are wiser
than the laws of man. am old enough
to know that He, Who is infinite in
power, was also infinite in love, and
that He never gave to mankind need
without giving them the means of salts
flying it. When He gave to man the
necessity Of food, He covered tho earth
with His bounties, and there has always
been enough to satisfy the hunger OF
man. And when lie made water neces,
sary for human existence, lie put the
veins in the Garth and scattered the liv-
ing springs along the hillside. And
when He allowed wcarincss to creep oven
the limbs, lie sent sleep to restore
strength. And when He gave to man a
mind capable of developing, He filled
the universe with His wonders, which
may well occupy the thoughts of man,
| "When He gave mankind the desire oi
society and fashioned the channels OF
trade lie stored away in the secret places
OF the mountains the gold and silver
suitable for a worlds money. Mankint

Notices have been sent to the candi-
dates on the republican county ticket
asking for positive declaration from
them on the silver question. Up to date
there have been no responses. The gen
tlemen have not time to declare them
selves. They are too busy abusing each
other to pay attention to little thing
like the silver issue; besides, they have
all signed the Mckinley roll sub rosa
and thus placed themselves in the power
of Sanders and his henchmen.

Secretary Carlisle has announced that
he will make several campaign speeches
in Kentucky and has been requested to
divide his time or enter into q Joint dis
cussion with Senator Blackburn. This
he has fatty refused TO do. The secre-
tary cannot hope to gain anything by
the course he mas adopted. II there is
in Kentucky any we'll settled political
custom it is that OF Joint debate. ANY
man who is not willing to defend his po,
sition on the hustings or enter into aide
bate with his opponent does not count
for much in tho Blue Grass state.

Later returns from Georgia show thai
the democrats carried that state by
majority Of about $1,000. The state has
always beon admitted to be for Bryan,
but il was urged that the majority in
the state election would to a degree have
an influence with the populists in other
states. The result must satisfy the mos.
skeptical. The majority for the demo
cratic candidate for governor is double
what it was two years ago. II the Nc
Kinley men were looking for straws or
object lessons they got more than they
bargained for in Georgia.

Bryan is now in what the Mckinney
men are willing to concede the doubt
full state of Indiana, The report Of
the tremendous reception given him in
Indianapolis indicates that it is anything
but doubtful" In spite of all that can
be said and all that the goldbugs can do,
it is safe to put Indiana in the silver
column by splendid majority.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

Desperate as are the methods being
resorted to by Hanna and his cohorts in
Illinois, the best informed people now
agree that the state is safe for Bryan and
free coinage. There is no telling what
these Hanna men will do in the next 30
days, but as Mr.. Bryan will spend eight
days there prior to election, We feel safe
in saying that he will Offset any mischief
they may attempt.
Great Falls weekly tribune., 1896-10-09

so general here that many may neglect
that important duty. On election day
we must not be satisfied with good ma
jority, we must make it overwhelming.
That will be the day for every man to go
to the front.

The free silver club Of Great Falls was
organized last night with large mem

evidence of the sentiment of the people

members is to see that citizens register

Georgia is the home Of Tom Watson,
the populist candidate for vice presi-
dent. 1t has a large populist vote, No
one disputes that. In Georgia the dem
ocrats and populists did not fuse on the
state ticket. An election was held in
the state Wednesday and the democrats
carried the day. No matter whether
the plurality was large or small. it is in
evidence that the democrats will deliver
the state to Bryan. This is all there is
to it. The godbugs will seek to make a
point by calling attention to the meager
plurality. That cuts 70 figure. The
one material fact is that the state of
Georgia is safe for the silver ticket
and Bryan. Populists in other sections
of the country will not be misled by the
vote in Georgia on the state ticket
There, as elsewhere, when it comes to the
national issue they will be found casting
their votes for Bryan and free coinage.
That is the creed of the really patriotic
populists all over the land. They would
like to see Watson get second place and
will vote for him, but their interest in
Watson does not cloud their intellects
and will not permit them to vote against
Bryan, They know the great issue is
silver against gold, the masses against
the classes, the people against the money
power, and on election day they will vote
their principles.
