A plank in the Silver Republican
platform of this state reads as fol
lows:
"Whereas, Senator Lee Mantle has
been faithful to every trust repOsed in
him concerning all the material inter-
ests Of this state and has been able
and energetic in defending them and
faithful to the cause OF silver,
BE it resolved. That we cordially
approve his ours in the senate of
the United States and pledge our
selves to use all honorable mean to
secure his election to succeed himself
in that body"
Does any Silver Republican think
that if Hilger, Phillips and Williams
are elected to the legislature that
they would cast their votes for Sen
ator Mantle? All of them would GER
tainly vote for Il Democrat to sue
ceed Senator Mantle who. while
steadfast in his friendship for silver,
stood by the other industries of Mon
tana, as an honorable man should
have done. Unless there is a radical
change in the situation, Messrs. Hob
son, Hedges and Long will be found
supporting Mantle ii elected to the
legislature. At least, they prefer
Mantle to a free trade Democrat.

1--WE point with pride to the abund-
ant and varied of our great
county and to the enterprise and
thrift of our citizens, and invite and
welcome in our midst all persons who
will participate i'm the expansion and
development of these by
honest labor and in making homes
for themselves and families"
The above plank from the local
Democratic platform is chiefly i'm
portant for what it suggests. 1t
stopped too short. In addition it
should have contained something
like the following:
"We fully realize that under DEM
ocratic administration our Industries
were paralyzed, labor sought en-
ployment in vain, capital was turned
away, building was checked and
stagnation in all branches OF bust
ness prevailed. Thanks to Il wise
Providence, William Mckinley and
the Republican party, the tide has
turned; all industries are prospecting,
laborisfully employed at good wages,
money is plentiful, and everybody is
prosperous and contented.'

trayed both the regular and Silver
Republicans, those papers are laud-
ing him to the skies.

We are in receipt of a circular let
ter from the Lafayette memorial COM
mission, an association organized for
the erection Of a Lafayette monu-
ment in Paris, by the youth of the
United States. Hon. Ferdinand w.
Peck, our commissioner general to
the Paris exposition, has the matter
in charge, and it is the desire to have
the monument ready for unwilling on
United States day at the exposition
i'm 1900. The circular says:
1.-The great feature of these eXer-
cises is to be the unwilling and dedi-
cation of a monument from the chill
dren and youth of our country to the
memory of our nations first bene-
factor and defender. The PROPOSE
ton to raise the funds necessary for
tile erection of the monument through
the agency of the schools has for n
of it's chief purposes the direction of
the minds of our young people to a
broader study of the historic events
of the early days of the republic"
This is a noble and worthy object.
1t will not only be a further proof OF
the gratitude entertained by the peo-
pie OF America for the great soldier
who came to our aid in the darkest
hour of the revolution, but it will en-
courage the youth to study the char
acter of Lafayette and become famil-
lar with his career, as well as cement
the two nations in closer bonds OF
friendship. We trust the principal of
our school will take hold of this mat
ter in due time and formulate some
plan to raise a fund for the worthy
cause. An entertainment by the
school children about midwinter
would b@well patronized. Nodoubt
other districts in the county would
be glad to do something, even in a
small way, and it might be arranged
that on IA certain day during the holi-
day period every district in thecounty
contribute to the fund, either by a
school entertainment or by a 10 cent
contribution by each scholar. Fer
gus county could easily raise a hun
dred dollars.
Gov. Smith has issued an address
to school youths of this state calling
upon them to observe Oct. 10, the an
niversary of the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown, as Lafayette
day. Possibly this date is too close
at hand to provide an entertainment,
but if observed, collections could be
made at that time. Let us hear from
the principal and teachers of our
schools.

The Passing of Hartman.

The expected has happened and Mr..
congressional race in a three-column
letter to the Silver Republican and
Populist committees. Seeing certain
defeat in the coming election. after
having sung sweet and low for the
support OF three different organiza-
tions, he plays the martyr act and
withdraws in favor of A. j. Camp
bell and offers his services during the
campaign to the Democratic commit
tee. What a spectacle. How are the
mighty fallenl The shiity little dema-
gOgue will soon sink into oblivion,
to remain unhonored and unsung.
His special pleading will fool no one
who is familiar with his contortions
i'm the past two months. Near the
close of his letter Mr.. Hartman says:
1.-The signature and publication of
this letter means that on the 18th day
of next March L retire to private life.
1t therefore may not he inappropri-
ate for me to take this opportunity
to extend my profound gratitude to
the citizens of the state who have be-
slowed honors upon me beyond my
desserts and reposed confidence in me,
which 1 am proud to say has never
been betrayed"
There is no doubt about the priv
acy of his life i'm the future. AS to a
betrayal of confidence, the vote of
ten thousand Republicans two years
onrn r.afntn this ofntaynanf and had
he remained in the field twenty thou
sand would have declared him a
traitor to fully two-thirds OF h in
dustries of Montana, in the coming
election. Hartman has done a wise
thing for himself. He will never
know how hard the people would
have a down upon him.

The Anaconda Standard and the
Helena Independent were not look
ing for Hartman's spectacular obog-
gan slide into the Democratic party,
and in their issues Immediately fol-
lowing the convention showed up
the little renegade in his true colors.
The Standard said Mr.. Hartman pro-
posed to walk out OF the Silver Re-
publican convention and that his
Democratic friends aided him in ''hir-
ing a hail." but Mr.. Hartman found
that he had over-estimated his fol-
lowing. Commenting on the Stand
ards expose of Hartman's PROPOSE
ton, the Independent says:
mo one will question the author
ity of the Standard on the subject.
1t was in a position to know accu-
rately n programme. 1t was friend
ly to Mr.. Hartman and can speak by
the card as to his promises and as to
what was expected OF him.. On this
excellent testimony it is shown that
Mr.. Hartman fully intended to be-
tray his Silver Republican friends and
was only prevented from doingso be-
cause he could not get sufficient sup
port in the matter. nothing else pre-
vented the dramatic walk out and
the acceptance of the nomination
from the Democratic convention, sup
posing that the latter body would
have rendered it to him, and this The
Independent is not ready to admit.
1t throws new light on Mr.. Hart
mans scheming for the nomination
and shows how little he is to be
trusted when his inordinate ambition
stands in the way. He stood ready
to betray his Sill yer Republican friends
and actually did betray his Demo
cratic friends. And this is the great
and only champion of silver's cause

A few days since Connecticut Dem
ocrats ignored the Chicago platform
and nominated a sound money man
for governor. Now New York and
New-Jersey Democrats refuse to en-
dorse the Chicago platform or free
silver i'm their state conventions.
That is Democratic friendship for sill
yer. Two years hence it will be
turned down in nearly every Demo-
cratic convention east of the Missis-
sippi river.
