At the democratic meeting last Tues
day evening the names Of so democrats
were read as vice presidents OF the
meeting Yesterday the Butte Miner
referred to these gentlemen editorially
as follows:
I'm an effort to lend respectability to
its ticket and with the object Of Great
ing 4 false impression as to the charac-
ter OF men who are supporting the tick
ct. the Anaconda company's political
department went a step too far on
Tuesday night. The chairman Of the
meeting called In the interes: of the
undemocratic ticket announced the
names of a number of vice presidents
some so in all. While the Miner does
not know the sentiments OF all these
gentlemen In regard to the Anaconda
ticket and the meth IDS by which II was
named, yet IL II in a position to say
that at least one-hslf OF them are demo-
Gratis who could never be brought to in
dorse any such proceedings. The pub
lie cannot blame them because the Ana
conda political department used their
ame in this effort to give standing TO
its ticket. But the public a blame
and will blame them who are guilty Of
1t. It was lone for the effect 1t might
have on the outside. The people Of
Butte are too well acquainted with the
situation to be deceived. They know
the men whose names were thu wrong
fully used. They know also that these
men would never lend their aid to any
such ticket"
