PRACTICAL OBJECT LESSON.

American tin plate, which has been
made possible by a protective tariff,
has at last come to supply all our
home trade. 1t was asserted that
tin could not be manufactured in this
country and that a tax upon that
commodity was only d direct tax upon
the consumer. The practical results
Of the duty have been to establish
American factories which supply the
home trade at much less price than
that of the imported article. The
British consul at Portland reports
that importatiohs Of tin plate have
entirely ceased, and instead Of nearly
$4,000 boxes formerly imported there
will be no foreign tin plate used this
year. The reason is plain. The
English tin costs /? shillings a box,
while the American product costs l;
shillings pence. This is a practical
object lesson as to the benefits of
protection, and it applies to many
other lines of business besides tin
plate.-Tacoma Ledger.

NEVER MEANT TO KEEP FAITH

The Hamilton Times, which sup
ports the mongrel ticket put up by
Bob O'IIara and his followers, shows
how sincere the O'Hara convention
was in it's willingness to have the
republicans of all kinds come to-
gether on the county ticket. While
O'Uara and some Of his pushers were
iollying the republicans and &c tting
them to hold their convention over
to suit the O'Hara crowd, which
had agreed if such was done to unite
with them on Il county ticket on the
understanding that the silver repub-
licans were to name the legislative
ticket, and after prominent rcpub-
| lican candidate for state senator had
voluntarily withdrawn his candidacy
in order to clear the way for said
| legislative ticket, the following cX-
tract from the Times report Of the
silver republicans proceedings shows
plainly that the O. IIara outfit never
intended to keep faith with the re-
publicaHs If they could make deal
with the other parties:
1t was moved by w. W. McCrack-
in, and seconded, that d committee
of five be appointed to confer with
other political organizations in ses-
sion in Hamilton. r. a. O'lIara
offered an amendment, that the com
mittec first confer with the populists
and democrats. After some little
discussion, a vote by precincts was
taken and the amendment was car
ried.
Note the wording of the amend
ment offered by the honorable Bob.
'',That the committee first confer
with the populsts and democrats, -
showing that he had no intention to
keep faith with the republicans, or
to 60 in with them if he could make
a deal with their opponents. 1t was
quite in keeping with his statement
to the editor Of this paper made two
weeks before that he s'was emphati-
cally opposed to any fusion or ANAL
gamation Of any kind with the rcpub-
licans.' And the silver republican
convention, most Of the members OF
which were sincere in their desire for
a united republican party in the
county fight, allowed itself to be
manipulated by this man to the exact
opposite of it's wishes and desires. In
other words they were "bossed," and
are just finding it out. How do they
like it?
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-09-21

The call for the silver republican
convention provided for 50 delegates.
BY actual count the largest delegate
attendance at that convention at any
one time last Wednesday was 25,
made up Of IA out of is from Hamil-
ton, 5 out of l 1 from Stevensyille, 5
from Corvallis and one from Como.
-Four from Hamilton did not materi-
allze, six from Stcvensville, and Sula,
Darby, Hughes Greek, Eight Mile,
Victor, Evelyn and Florence could
not scare up men to attend. A truly
representative convention, and this
after Charley Hartman and Bob
O'IIara had ridden the ranges to per-
suade silver republicans to rally.
The convention was just 81 shy. The
Republican convention called for SO,
and every delegation was full, except
in one, Eight Mile.

The Hamilton Times, which is su

The Hamilton Times, which is sup
porting the populist-silver republican
ticket, claims that ticket is the only
one which favors the coinage Of
silver, and then, in its report Of the
republican convention, says that the
conference committee Of the republi-
can convention was, after the refusal
to fuse with the populsts, 'instruct-
ed to inform the silver republicans
that the convention was willing to
give the silver men the legislative
ticket, the only part of the ticket
that has any bearing on the silver
question" By its own report the
Times proves that the republican
convention showed that it's platform
was no lie, and that it expressed the
real feelings Of the convention. The
Times will please quit calling the
republican ticket gold bug ticket,
and get down to showing, if it can,
that the men nominated on that
ticket will not make good officials.
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-09-21

The democrats kicked the silver
republicans out when the latter came
into their convention with an offer to
fuse: and then the self-constitutcd
leaders Of the silver republicans,
foiled in the original plan Of aiding
the democrats to, elect their county
officers and perpetuating the present
misrule by that party, brought about
a condition Of affairs whereby they
hoped to accomplish the same result.
Instead of resenting this treatment
by the democrats, as selfrespccting
men should, they worked the silver
republicans to refuse association with
the other republicans, and to get up
a side issue that, il the bulk of the
silver republicans are fool enough to
follow their lead, would land every
democratic candidate into office.
Their work is pretty coarse, and we
do not believe they can fool the rank
and file Of their wing of the republi.
can party into endorsing it.

DEMOCRACY's COARSE WORK.

The Butte Miner does not hesitate
to assert that there were frauds and
repeating at the democratic prima-
ries in Butte last week, and gives
figures to back up it's assertions.
After remarking that the interest
taken in this state in the presidential
election two years ago, because of the
issues supposed to be involved,
brought out an unusually full vote,
the Miner, although democratic
paper, proceeds to give some figures
showing that in the recent primaries
the democratic vote, or what is pur-
ported to be democratic vote, far
exceeded the total vote cast by all
parties two years ago. And the
Miner charges that this swelling Of
the democratic vote was caused by
wholesale repeating, done by gangs
Of men who went from precinct to
precinct, under orders, and voted at
each one. The paper says:
In precinct number II the total
vote cast for president in 1896 was
395. Or these, 375 were cast for
Bryan. They were cast by demo-
Gratis, populists and silver republic
cans. On Wednesday last, at the
democratic primaries, there were cast
GAO votes, Of which 1863 were given to
the fusion ticket. In other words
in two years the democratic vote. in
the precinct has grown until it ex-
ceeds by 245 the combined votes Of
four parties two years ago.
Thirty-three is another precinct Of
wonderful growth. In 1896 Bryan
and Mckinley got 81 votes, Of which
81 went to Bryan. On Wednesday
last the "democrats'' cast 219 votes
at the primary, 122 more than the
hot presidential campaign Of 1896
drew out from all parties. Then
there was precinct II, where there
were Is more democrats on Wednes-
day than there were voters in 1896,
although that year there were 40
loyal republicans in the precinct
And as a comparison, and further
proof, the Miner prints the following
table from some of the precincts:

DAUGHTER OF CONFEDEKACY
Death Of Miss Winnie Davis After an Ill
ness Full of Suffering


Narragansett Pier, r. l., Sept IS.
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, died at noon
today at the Rockingham hotel, to
which place she came as guest in
the early part of the Piers social
season. She has been i'll for several
weeks, and fortnight ago her all
ment was diagnosed as malarial gas
tritis. At times her condition be-
came very serious, SO that consulta-
tions Of physicians were deemed nee
essary, but the frequent rallies gave
hopes that She would ultimately re-
cover. During the past week es-
pecially was her condition considered
favorable, and it was thought her
removal from the hotel would be pos
sible in a few days, as the hotel had
closed for the season, leaving the
patient and attendants alone in the
house. Last night, however, a re-
lapse in Miss Davis condition was
noticed and throughout the night
she lost strength perceptibly. This
morning the physicians said the end
was not far off, and at noon death
came to end the suffering, which at
times had been intense. -z..
Mrs. Davis had watched unremit-
tingly at her daughters bedside and
is now bowed with grief. The ply
slcians of Mrs. Davis report that she
is holding up with great calmness
under her affection and no fears are
entertained at present Of her health
yielding to the strain.

PRINCIPLE NOT IN 1T.

While the Times would make peo-
pie believe that the silver republicans
and pOpulists thought only Of silver
in their conventions, it should not
forget to state that each was willing
to throw silver professions to the
dogs and cooperate with the regular
republicans on a mixed ticket which
would give the pops and the other
fellows some of the best Offices in the
county. The two holy principle par
ties proposed to the republican con-
ventiOn that if the pops were given
the treasurer, county upcrlntendcnt,
surveyor and one commissioner, and
the silver republicans the senator,
the two representatives and county
attorney, they would 60 in with the
republicans and help them elect the
balance Of their ticket. In the lam
guage OF their leader, Mr.. O'IIara, it
''"N DSCoil1C u luCoGlofl, lltC VI UllC
silver issue, but of 'practical poll
tics and the securing Of the offices
from the democrats. So much for
the loud talk Of the Times that
"principle' was the guiding motive
in the actions Of those two immacu-
late parties. Like the democrats,
they were simply after the Offices
And they were willing to fuse with
any old party SO that they might
secure the positions. The mere fact
that the silver republican convention
refused the legislative ticket offered
them by the republican convention
proves that they were not so much
after the "princlple" part as they
were after the better paying jobs for
themselves and their new friends.

The democratic county convention,

The democratic county convention,
in its resolutions. failed to say any
thing in commentator of the demo-
cratic administration of county af-
fairs: it was very particular not to
mention that subject, satisfied it
would help it's cause not bit. The
democrats OF this county evidently
desire the taxpayers to forget all
about little thing like $4,000 diff
ference in the condition of the finan-
ces against their party in one year as
compared with the administration
when republicans were in control.
And this difference, too, when sal.
aries were $1,000 lower than in the
time of the former republican admin
istration. But the taxpayers will
not forget it.

Among the high handed proceed

Among the high-handed proceed
ings Of the democratic county con
vention was the turning down of 1Iod
Blodgett, who was a candidate for
the nomination for county commits
sioner for the middle section of the
comfy. The outfit which rau the
convention wanted man Of their
own, and SO they had the commits
sionerships set off in districts, and
put Mr.. Blodgett, who lives Just on
the line between Corvallis and Ward
townships. and only a few miles from
Hamilton, in the district from Cor
wallis down to the county line below
Florence, thus putting him in the
race with lot of others from lower
down, knowing that the delegates
from the lower end would want and
vote for a man from lower down and
thus shut him out. The gentleman
tumbled to the little game too quick
for them and declined to let his name
come up And this is only an in
stance OF how the convention was
manipulated by the gang.
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-09-21

In his home county Of Lewis and
Clarke Gov. Smith was refused an
election to the state covcntion by the
populists, and in Broadwatcr county
Lieut.. Coy. Spriggs was also turned
down by his party. The Silver Bow
populists had pity on them and elect
ed them as delegates at large from
Silver Bow county. It is something
new in Montana politics that a resi-
dent Of one county can be chosen to
represent another county in Il State
convention.

Over in Madison county,, a

Over in Madison county, also, the
"union of the silver forces" as fusion
for the sake Of office is now politely
termed, failed on account of the hog
gishness Of the democrats, or, as
frankly stated by our local contempo-
rary, "there were too many demo
cratic) candidates for office to permit
fusion to carry" The silver repub-
licans wanted to fuse with the demo-
Gratis, and only asked that they should
have two representatives, the demo-
Gratis to have the state senator and
one rcpresen tativc, but the demo-
Gratis wanted the 'WhOle cheese, /"
and that settled it. "Union of the
silver forces" for the sake Of the
s'mora] effect" doesn't go with demo-
Cracy in Montana when an office has
to be given up to accomplish it.
Democracy first and silver afterwards
is their watchword this year.
