THE NOMINATION SECONDED.
Mr.. Connolly of Silver Bow Makes "A
Great Hit.

II. C. Stiff of Missoula seconded the
nomination Of Mr.. Campbell.
Nominate him here to-day" said
Mr.. Stiff, and from one end of the
state to the other the people of Montana
will rise up and will support him with
degree of fidelity second to none ever
accorded to any candidate in Montana,
save William Jennings Byan. He will
be supported by all the democrats of
this state, and he will surely be the
next representative of the great state
of Montana. / express the honest sem
timent of Missoula county, the old dem
ocrats and the young, when / second
the nomination of Mr.. Campbell"
Joseph T. Brown seconded the nomin-
alton on behalf of Custer county.
He is an able lawyer" said Mr.
Brown, a sterling democrat, a brilliant
young man, and is loved by all the
people of Eastern Montana. 1t is true
that he lives in Butte, but on the East
side of the mountains we still claim
him as one of us"
b. +. Vaille of Carbon seconded the
nomination, and was followed by Vel
lowstone. Silver Bows second was
made by c. p. Connolly. who made one
of the best speeches of the convention.
He said:
I'm behalf Of the Silver Bow delega-
tion / wish to say word regarding
this man who, in this crisis. Silver Bow
hopes to furnish for the congressional
nomination. As Mr.. Toole has said,
Mr.. Campbell is a lawyer, and will
add that he is rs honest and as modest
as the Lord allows a lawyer to be. In
behalf of our delegation I second this
nomination most enthusiastically. In
doing this we will water and make
green again the grass on the grave Of
Thomas jefferson, which has become
scorched in the last decade of political
activity. To nominate him is good an
Nominate Mr.. Campbell on an anti
fusion platform and it is 16 to / that the
people will fuse on him all over the
| state. If the people of Montana defeat
| the ticket nominated here. then IL will
| be telling the East that silver is dead.
| If we can't keep silver alive i'm our
| hearts, how can we expect the people
! of the East to remember silver? Let us
| revive the old vigilance committee and
| let us hang to the political gibbet ev-
| cry man who shall prove untrue to this
| great cause in Montana. Here in Mon
| tana every man can secure employ
| ment under remuneTatiVe wages. Sup
pose silver wins under the banner of
| Bryan and Campbell in 1900. and this
| will be a paradise where even popu-
| lists might dwell in harmony and uni
| ty. Let there be no more trimming in
| the POLITICS OF tne state. Relegate DaCk
| those who came to the marriage feast
| of democracy and free silver to get
| drunk on our wine and sober up on our
| wedding presents.
Before / fused with this delegation
| of 50 terrors from Silver Bow county.
1 ] cast my political fortunes in Lewis
/ and Clarke county, and say now that
/ IL you will nominate Andrew Jackson
| Campbell. why Andrew jackson Steele
| and Andrew Jackson Davidson and
| Governor Toole will shake hands with
| US across the great divide. Let our
| battle cry be The Campbells are COM
| ing. and the Lord have mercy on the
| souls Of the others There above the
| stage waves the noblest flag on earth
/ Under it's folds dwell the bravest Of
men and the truest of women. II did
| rot dip its folds under Dewey at the
i gates Of Manila. IL did not dip its
folds under Schley in Santiago harbor.
And under Bryan and Campbell IL will
| never dip it's folds in the face of the
guns of the Bank of England.
