ALWAYS VOTES TIE TICKET.

The Butte Miner, in cndcavoring
to soften and make light Of the plain
fact that the New York democrats
voted down an endorsement of Bryan
and the Chicago platform, gives Il
third Of column to proving that
Justice Van Wyck, the nominee for
governor, voted for Bryan two years
ago, and says: "rhis docs not look
as though the gold element had cap
turcd the party organization in the
east" The proof is given in a state
ment by the son Of Judge Van Wyck,
who says: "My father voted the
regular democratic ticket in 1896.
He voted tor Bryan: and furthermore
made no cOnccamcnt OF the fact.
lie always voted the democratic
Ticket" The gist Of the statement
is in the last sentence. ''llc always
voted the democratic ticket" That's
the stuff. If the Chicago platform
had declared for the gold standard,
the man who HalWays voted the dem
ocratic ticket" would have voted fol
the nominee just the same. lie is IN
ideal democrat: the platform makes
nc difference to him. Democracy is
what he votes for. And there are
thousands Of democrats in Montana
lust like him. They will 'always
vote the democratic ticket" no mat.
ter what may be the platform. Judge
Van Wyck accepted Il nomination OF
a platform which rcpudiatcd silver
1t is but right to believe that Judge
Van Wyck also now rcpudiatcs silver
or he would not have accepted thai
nomination Oh that platform. The
truth Of the matter is that eastern
democrats have no use for silver, ant
that western democrats are simpl,
using the cry for the white metal t.
get into office. And silver rcpublI
!. cans are some Of them out to hell
Just such fellows.

HONESTY, INDEED.

There was but one manly logical
thing for Charlie Hartman to do, un-
der the circumstances, when division
he did it. He proved his honesty.
sincerity and consistency by his ac-
tion."- Western News. ...-.
Let us see just what Mr.. Hartman
did. After the democratic state con-
vcntion had refused any cooperation
Of the sO-called silver forces, unless
MI. Hartman, who has since joined
democracy, and Judge pcmberton,
who never was anything but u demo-
crat, were put up by the silver repub-
licans aud pupulists, thus insuring
the democrats the whole ticket, with
the populst and silver republican
| vote to help elect these democrats,
| and after the democratic convention
had nominated Mr.. Campbell, Mr..
Hartman not only accepted the NOM
ination for congress from the silver
republicans, but he personally went
into the populist convention aud got
them to endorse him. Then, still
working for Hartman, he proposed
that one of them get off the ticket,
and that the decision as to which
should retire be left to three Of Mr..
Hartmans personal friends who did
not know Mr.. Campbell from Il crow.
This last play Of Hartman:s to get
back to congress with the aid Of dem
ocratic votes having failed, and rca-
liZing that he stood no show for clcc-
tion without, he attempted to make
Il grand stand play in order to llcIE
his new party, and got out Of demo
cracy's way. Hartman had ovcl
40, 600 votes two years ago: he rea.
lizcd that he couldn't poll 5000 this
year, and 50 declined the ISSUE That
was all the matter. lie ''prOvcd his

IT WILL. REACT.

Senator Chandler, who was recent
ly in Washington, is thus reported
by the Evening Star:
The only reason why Secretary AL
ger was selected for attack instead of
the bureau chiefs Of the war depart
ment, who are the responsible par
ties, is because the democrats think
party capital may be made by attack
ing him, while It cannot be made by
attacking them. But the attack is
none the less without reason. The
investigation which the president
has wisely ordered, by able and i'm.
partial men-no wiser or more fear
less man exists than Gen. Granville
M. Dodgc-will show what mistakes
have been made: and 1t will appear
that few have been made by the sec
retarv, and all by army officers whc
are not politicians, and for whom tho
politicians arc not responsible. Sc

OUTBREAK IN MINNESOTA.
The PiIlager Indiaas Attack Troops and
Severe Fighting Occurs.

Walker. Mimi, Oct. "a hard
fight with the Pillager Indians oc-
Cured today, on the other side Of
Lcccl lake, and reports are that the
troops, a detachment Of 100 men un-
der command Of Gen. Bacon, have
suffered severely. The trouble grew
out Of the attempt Of United States
authorities to arrest some Of the In
dians for violation Of the law regard
ing liquor selling. Gen. Bacon and
his men were supporting officers.
The Indians. who were we'll con
ccalcd, began firing on the soldiers
while the latter we're getting coffee,
and d terrific fight cnsued, the sold
icrs making for cover on the first fire.
The soldiers, who are veterans. not
alone Of the Santiago BATTLE, but Of
many an Indian skirmish, knew what
to do and at the first shot all found
shelter and waited for another volley
to tell them where to shoot.
| Gen. Bacon and Major Wilkinson
steadied their men with encouraging
words, and with a second volley the
| indians attempted to rush on the
soldiers. The rattling vollcy from
the regulars that met the oncoming
reds stopped the rush and drove back
the Indians, although half a dozen
Of them were dropped by the soldiers
fire. The fire from the Pillugcr then
became more scattered and the troops
made a fine charge and drove them
back, though the firing continued.
Walker, Oct. G.-Thc latest from
the scene Of the Indian trouble is
/ that the fighting still continues.
! Major Wilkinson and several Of the
soldiers have been killed. The In
dian loss is said to be large. The
war department. has been notified Of
! the serious condition Of affairs and
more troops are being ordered to the
scene.
The latest to this date is that the
Mile Lac Indians have joined the
PiIlagcrs, and a general uprising is
feared.

Dewey TO BE Vice Admiral

New York, oct IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley aud Secretary Of
the Navy Long have determined to
recommend to congress the revival Of
the grade of vic admiral to be filled
by the promotion Of Rear Admiral
Dewey. President Mckinley in his
annual message and Secretary Long
in his annual report intend to devote
considerable space to the accomplish
mcnts Of the Asiatic squadron under
the command Of Rear admiral Dewey
and the splendid Judgment and dip
lomatjc tact that officer has displayed
in handling the many ditlicult qlcs-
ti0ns which arose before the arrival
Of the American troops and the cap
turc OF Manila.
AS under the existing law, Rear
Admiral Dewey will reach the rctir-
ing ace in December 1893, there is a
strong probability that Secretary
Long will urge that congress pass Il
law permitting the retention Of that
officer upon he active list for an adj
ulllDIlil zen years. y law l'ci iu1llli''5
such action in the case of officers re-
cciving the thanks Of congress for
gallant conduct in the civil war is
nov on the statute books. but the
authorities would be glad to see the
| law changed SO that officers OF the
| recent and future wars may be SO re,
wardcd. There is little doubt that
congress will willingly adopt the
recommendation regarding Rear Nd
