SILNER'S FRIENDS.

Judging from the language that il
being used by some Of the Democratic
newspapers of the state one would
think that to be in favor Of silver at
all the SlIvor Republicans and Popu-
lists would actually have TO Join the
Democratic party that one c0uld not
be in favor of silver without becoming
Democrat. One exchange SAYS
THE Democratic party is, and always
has been, the backbone of the silver
movement. Now, we like this. The

the bank of the creek had been selected
and the jolly gathering, protected
from the scorching rays of the sun and
near the clear and sparkling waters for
which the South Fork Is noted, had all
what mortal being in this world could
desire. Good things and dellcacies OF
an endless variety had been provided by
the ladies, to which ample justice was
done, and at the close of the day, which
seemed unusually short, especially to the
young people, everyone present agreed

WILL GO IT ALONE.

From the present outlook, fusion
don't seem to play a very prominent
part in the coming campaign. 1t is
becoming more apparent every day
that majority Of thc Democratic par
ty in the state believe they can carry
the fall elections single handed, and
consequently do not care TO fuse. In
the last election the Silver Republi-
cans voted with the Dem 0crats, giving
up everything for the cause of silver,
and as a reward for their sacrifice they
are invited to either join the Demo-
cratic party or see how they can get
along themselves, This very act may
be the very best thing that could have
happe ,eI. 1t will cause the Silver
Republicans to think aui the next time
they fuse they viii know with whom.
There is possibility Of uniting the
RepuN ,ran forces, and as far as this
county is concerned they We're at no
time separated. The Republicans Of
Granite county are unanimous on the
silver issue. The most correct proofs
of this assertion are tie election re-
turns Of 1896, when Granite county
cast almost unanimous vote for W.
J. Bryan, it being the banner county
in the United States Still it is
press that one cannot be in favor of
silver without being Democrat. The
Republicans of Granite county, al
though they supported ". J. Bryan
almost to man, have not forsaken
their own party and can meet on COM
mon ground this year in the full con-
sciousness of what the party has done
since the blight of Democracy par
alyzod its Industries and saddened its
homes. They have had practical
demonstration Of the difference be-
tween Democratic and Republican
times and all who desire a continu-
alton OF the present prosperous cOndi-
tion Will not hesitate to act with the
party OF progress. Unless the present
indications change, there will be but

years ago seems to be entirely forgot
ten, and now if those parties wish to
further support the silver cause they
are invited to join the Democratic
party So far as history is concerned
the Silver Republicans had much to
surrender when they left the great ma
tional party they helped to build up
and sacrificed all for the silver cause.
They should at least be given due
credit for what they have done. The
Populist party also contributed its
share and deserves what it is entitled
to. The Populist party first took up
the silver question and brought it into
prominence. This much cannot be
disputed. and the Populists as we'll as
the Silver Republicans should have
credit for what they have done in the
cause of silver. AS to being the back
bone of the silver movement there are
indications that the Democratic party
will repudiate silver two years hence,
and the recent events in the states of
New York and Pennsylvania would
confirm the assertion.

Do our Democratic friends who
claim to always have been the back
bone Of the silver movement recollect
a certain Democratic convention held
at Helena in September, 1894? Ac-
cording to the resolutions adopted at
that convention the Democratic back
bone could hardly be compared with
the Rock of Ages as far as silver is
concerned. The following is clause
from said resolutions "Resolved,
That we, the Democratic party of
Montana, reaffirm our adherence to
and belief in the principles enunciated
in the National Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago in 1892, and here
by express our cordial approval of the
administration of Grover Cleveland
and our confidence in his Judgment
and patriotism, and in his ability and
patriotism and in his ability to guide
the destinies of our country through
