EX-Govcrnor Toolc SAYS that long
before populists had a place in his
tory or silver republicans were born,
"the democratic party stood conspic-
uously alone the fearless champion
Of free coinage" Will the eloquent
ex-governor tell the good people Of
Montana when this was? Was it
during the administrations Of Madi
son and Monroe, when not a silver
dollar was coined? Was it during
the eight years of jackson when only
one thousand silver dollars were
coined? Was it in 1853, when the
democratic party first forbade the
free coinage Of silver and established
the precedent for the "crime OF '773?"
Was it in 1873, when democratic
votes aided in the preparation of
that crime? Was it in 1872, when
the ;'Ohio idea" seized democracy?
Was it in 1851, when Cleveland was
first elected, or 1892, when he was
last elected? In 1892 the national
platform Of the populists declared for
independent free coinage Of silver at
the ratio Of l6 to l, and in 1896 the
Chicago platform appropriated this
free coinage plank. This was the
first time the democratic party stood
on that plank: and 1000, 900 popu-
lists will testify that they didn't
stand alone then; and the historical
democrats Of the country will testify
that only the ;'rag, tag and bobtail"
Of the party stood on that plank then.

There is probably no man not an
avoWed democrat in Montana who
has the Bryanitc cause SO much at
heart as Senator Mantle; and yet,
strange to relate, no man in all the
state seems 50 much the abhorrcncc
of Bryanite democrats. There arc
no indignities, no brutalIties, to
which the senator has not been put
by these democrats Of the Bryanitc
brar these molodorous political
jugglers with whom, holding his nose
and disinlccting his toga he is ardu-
ously trying to keep company. Be-
yOnd this, in order to realize the
fruits Of an unnatural alliance, may
be counted the trcachrr.cs Of a foe
who fails not at the chance to bctray,
and whose vengeance will come in
due course, Us it has come elsewhere
and before. Senator Mantle is more
than a statesman whose horizon is
narrowed to a single and not surpas-
sing idea--hc is Il protcctionist, a
progrcssioniSt, an cxpansionist, and
deserves not the fatcof Dubois. That
fate is surely in store for him il he

The democratic heart has returned

The democratic heart has returned
to it's old occupation Of bleeding on
behalf Of the agricultural community.
When wheat prices reached a dollar
per bushcl, the interests OF the farm
or were supposed to be able to take
care OF themselves, and the demo
cratic heart was in distress about the
cost of blcadstutTs to the poor con-
sumcr. But wheat having fallen to
IS cents, and the cost Of breadstulls
to the consumer having been reduced
in consequence, the welfare Of the
farmer is once more the object OF
democratic interest and sympathy
1t depends upon circumstances as tt
whether democratic snlicitudc is or
the consuming or producing side OF
the fence. River Press. ..=

The lusioni>ts talk heap about
"principlc,n y and dcnouncc those who
are opposed to fusion as simply seek
crs after office. But there isn't a
fusionist in either party who would
be willing to allow the other party
or parties to name all the candidates
on the fusion ticket and take his own
party name for the head OF the ticket.
For instance, would any democrat DC
satisfied to have a fusion ticket called
the democratic" ticket and give the
silver republicans and populists all
the places on it? Not much: neither
would any Of the others make the
same kind OF {, fusion. It's the offices
they want: not the "principlc" they

WHY NOT IN RAlALLI?

The administration and silver re-
publican central committees of Car
bon county held a joint meeting at
Red Lodge last week, dissolved their
organizations and reorganized as Il
straight republican committee, thus
uniting the two factions Of the party.
Such action should be taken in every
county Of the state where two organ
izations of republicans exist, and in
counties where there is no silver re-
publican organization the members
of that party should be given to un-
derstand by the regular republican
organization that their cooperation
is desired and that they will be well
coined to take part in the primaries
and the convention. "
Under existing conditions the
straight republican party is the nat
ural haven for the silver republicans.
They believe in all Of the principles
Of the republican party except its
declaration on the financial question
which is not an issue this year, and
they can therefore act with it and
register thciropposition to free trade,
