A great howl was raised by the
Democratic press because it thought
Senator Hanna was interfering with
the Republicans of Utah. Yet the
Ohio senator, even though he were
as bad as Mr.. Hartman paints him,
would attempt to depose a
chairman of a state committee, as
the little renegade and Chairman
Towne have attempted to do. The
trouble with Hartman is his envy of
Senator Mantle. Hartman was a
traitor to every interest in Montana
save one, while Mantle has done
what he could for all of them. Hart
man knows that his goose is cooked
in this state. and having fallen him.
self, he is aiming to drag Senator
Mantle down with him, even if he
has to support Democrats to do it.
He has practically admitted that he
wants to see a Democratic senator
sen to Washington from Montana.
But should that happen, he will not
be able to accomplish any more than
has the Sour Dough statesman in his
last term-with emphasis on the
''last."

Campbell Opens the Campaign.


A. j. Campbell, the candidate for
congress on the Democratic ticket,
opened the campaign i'm Livingston
on the 10th inst. He lodged the silver
question as best he could and de-
clared that protection was not an
issue. Apparently the offices are the
only issue before the people of Mon
tana, according to Mr.. Campbell. II
protection is not an issue, we would
like to inquire why. Only a few
in the Democratic campaign book.
If it was a good issue then, it ought
to be now, If protection has proven
harmful to the people, it is and should
be a real live issue. If it has proven
beneficial, then it has exploded and
exposed Democratic arguments and
places the party leaders in the posi-
ton of falsifiers and demagogues.
Possibly Mr.. Campbell is SO well sat
isfied with the prosperity that pro-
lection has brought to the country
that he thinks it dangerous to raise
h question. If Democratic free
trade is dead, who killed it? Was it
killed by a suffering people who I'M
Willingly took stock in Democratic
arguments, only to find them false?
The voter will remember that every
Democratic paper was filed with free
trade matter four years ago; there
Were columns where there are lines
now. II it was a good thing four
years ago, it is a good thing now
1t will also be remembered that the
Democratic party said two years ago
that 'there could be no prosperity
without the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to l." This has proven
false ven in the great silver state of
Montana, say nothing of the balance
of the country. There We're never
men employed, more mills and
factories in operation, more money
seeking investment at a low rate of
interest than at h present time.
Yet the cry was two years ago that
there was not enough money to do
IN business of the country. All of
the assertions and prophesies of the
Democratic party have proven un-
true, and now they say protection is
not an issue. But in some states it
will be noted the party managers,
orators and writers say free silver
is not an issue" Whom are we to
believe?
If the Republican party has brought
prosperity to Montana by protecting
two-thirds-yes, seven-eighths of her
Industries, and the Democratic party
is unable to do anything for silver by
reason of hostility in it's own ranks,
which should have your support?
The Republican party will be sin
cere i'm what it advocates and adopt
such policies that are sure to bring
the greatest good to the greatest
number throughout the nation. Its
opponents will advocate anything to
gain the offices, even though SURE and
certain of playing their last trump.
Free silver will be the o on which
the party will go to pieces in 1900.
