A Republican Opinion.

- CONGRESSMAN LAWRENCE OF
~ Massachusetts is a republican,
but hat fact does not deter him
from speaking cut in meeting. The con-
dition in which the 9th Massachusetts
returned, with only one-third OF the
original number able to stand. rouse
his Indignation and he demands pun
ishment for the men who inflicted such
injuries upon the soldiers. After re-
ferring to the victory of Santiago, he
says tina tho men who had made so
splendid a fight had n right to look
forward to a joyous n happy well

these plain words:
Hundreds of millions have been ap-
propriated to carry on this war; the
nations resources were practically un-
limited. and the people Of this land
wanted. above all things, that the men
who fought their battles should be
supplied with everything necessary for
their comfort and their health. The

The Next House.

IN the present house Of representa-
tives the republicans have w hun
dred and two seats, "A majority of
forty-seven Owe all. a loss of twenty
-four seats would deprive them of the
control of the body and enable n COM
bination of democrats and silver men
to control. The present outlook is
favorable To hat result. Democratic
hopes are looking up The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Herald says that the political outlook
six weeks ago was all i'm favor Of the
republicans. The democrats We're at a
loss for an issue and had little hope of
being able to make substantial gains
anywhere except in a few districts
where there was republican dissatis-
faction with the distribution of the
federal patronage. Even after the
criticism of the staff bureaus of the
wal department began, the democrats
did not believe IT would figure much i'm
the campaign. 1t has only been within
the last two weeks that il has been
realized that the Presidents appoint
ments of incompetent civilians To the
staff corps and Secretary Ayers fail
ure promptly to correct glaring faults
afforded better campaign material than
any other that could be found.
Now there is elation i'm the headquar-
tiers of the democratic congressional
committee. There is a corresponding
depression at the republican headquar-
tiers, especially since the Maine cleo
ton, and IL is realized that a hard fight
will be necessary to save the repub-
lican majority in the house of rep
resentatives. Congressional elections
have already been held in three
states-Oregon, Vermont and Maine
and. although the republicans have
elected all the representatives from
these states they are able to gather
encouragement from the oregon cleo
ton alone. In both Vermont and
Maine the falling off in the republican
vote was so large that If it should de-
crease in the same proportion all over
the country the next house would be
overwhelmingly democratic.
Much Of the prospective republican
loss in the East is attributable to dis
satisfaction with the distribution of
federal patronage and To internal quar-
rels among the republicans over state
politics. This is particularly true in
New York. where the republicans fear
they will lose several seats il the party
cannot be ~harmonized. The same is
true of Pennsylvania. where from six
To eight districts may be lost If the
republicans fail to get together. a
democratic gain in New Jersey is also
expected. The Herald correspondent
says that in the Southern states there
is danger that the republicans will lose
all that they now hold with the ex-
ception Of two North Carolina and two
Tennessee districts. In the Southern
states II is dissatisfaction with the
distribution Of the patronage that is
doing the republicans the most harm.
The danger of republican losses in the
Middle West are most grave in Ohio
and Illinois. where municipal politics
in Cincinnati and Chicago will cut a
considerable figure.

Deer Lodge county democratic
convention. held in the Margaret the

so strongly rooted in the hearts Of the
people Of the county is sentiment in
favor of SUSTAINING the national demo-
cratic -arty In its intrepid campaigning
for free coinage.
There were sharp rivalries yesterday
in the convention; a good art of the
ground was hard fought. We believe
IL TO be true. however. that in the re-
suits reached, every interest in the
county found itself well cared for and
every section Justly represented. There
were some estimable men before the
convention in quest of nominations
Without exception. they had a per-
fectly open and square fight; and all
who were unsuccessful accepted defeat
in a spirit that does them credit and
at the same time. gives assurance Of
united and hearty support of the county
ticket at the November polls.
The late hour at which much OF the
important business of the convention
was disposed Of precludes a personal
summary of the makeup for this

The Political Delegations VIII BE Prop
erly Cared For.
The committee appointed to receive
the political delegations Wednesday is
in receipt of a large number of tele-
grams of inquiry as regards accommo-
dations, and the reply has been made
to all that there is room enough and
ample provision for the multitude. All
that the visiting delegates are required
to do is to report at headquarters, in
the Montana hotel, and quarters will
be assigned to them. The reception COM
mittee has worked faithfully to the end
that all who come here may be well pro-
vided for and its efforts have not been
in vain, for last night the statement
was given out from committee head
quarters that provision had been made
for the accommodation of 1000 men and
there won't be more than 1000 to look
after. There are many families in town
who have friends or relatives among the
delegations and these will be entertained
at home.
The politicians will begin to arrive in
numbers tonight and the early trains
tomorrow will bring the great number
of them, so when the hour of II O'Clock
is rung out from the city hall tower
representatives of the three great politi-
cal parties of Montana will be assembled

~ HE free coinage democrats of
New York state purpose that
the state convention next week
shall place itself squarely on the Chi
cago platform. They have control of
the machinery of the party and will
listen to no overtures from the gold
democrats looking towards a compro-
mise. The national democratic
party as the goldbug democrats
style themselves, will. 1t is said, place
a full state ticket in nomination this
fall, paying no attention to the regu-
lar democratic state convention to be
held at Syracuse. As there was no
possibility Of an understanding between
these two factions of the party, the
determination of the gold democrats to
go ii alone is not surprising. Let them
go. They constitute a small minority.
The rank and file of the party and
most OF the leaders are out and out
b~imetallists. Mr.. Croker has been
sounded and he assures everybody who
asks him that the candidates of the
state convention must be good men and
true to the principles championed by
william ]. Bryan.

- NPERIENCE has taught some
= things which common sense
should have taught i'm the first
place. DIR. Sem say that a military
camp should be moved frequently, say
every month or six weeks. that this
practice would prevent a large per-
centage of the diseases which are so
destructive to the well being of an
army. In the civil war, which was
marked by continuous and bloody
fighting. the percentage who died of
camp diseases was three to n In
the present wal the percentage Is
nearer thirty to one. and 1t is growing
worse every day while the soldiers are
in camp. Sewers are out of the ques-
tion i'm a military amp unless the
government establishes permanent mill
itary posts at great cost. Move the
camp to another spot. not more thar
a mile away. and diseases will rapidly
disappear. until the new camp ground
becomes poisoned. In a few months

lowed to grow over the grounds, will
consume all these poisons and the
locality will become as healthful as
before the camp was pitched upon II.

II n interesting question has been
raised by the xecuto OF the

that NJ portion of the property in New

tax. because at the time MIR. Pullman
died he was indebted to firms and cor
porations in New York city for an
amount greater than the market value
of all the property in that state. and

For County Treasurer.

At $40 the convention was once more
called to order. There was a large at
tendance of spectators at the evening
session, many having dropped in to see
what was going on. The balcony and
the boxes were occupied by ladies, of
whom there was q large number pres
ent. The first business of the evening
session was the selection of a candidate
for county treasurer. The nominating
speeches were short and to the point,
not any time being wasted in long eulo-
gies.
It. w. Sullivan placed in nomination
a working man. who had been identified
with the democratic party for years, a
nan who commanded the admiration
and respect of everybody. He placed
in nomination +. d. Twohy of Anacon-
da. Lee Hardman of Garrison nominal
ed Il. +. Brown, the present public ad-
m"inistrator, in a neat and appropriate
speech. Mr.. Brown. said Mr.. Hartman,
was an exponent of true democracy.
]. V. Collins desired to place in nomin-
alton a gentleman who had been identi-
fed with the democratic party ever
since he was born. He had been a r
friend of democracy; had fought its bat
ties: had spent his money for the sue
cess Of its candidates and had never
gone back on any of its candidates. If
the party had any gifts to bestow, they
should be bestowed upon its true
friends. With this he named John X.
Walkup.
Ii was then moved tina the nomina-
tions be closed. which motion was car
ried. A motion to drop the candidate
having the lowest number of votes on
the first ballot was defeated.
Balloting was then proceeded with, but
it took only one The result of the first
