They'll Pull Together.

~ NE of the interesting movements

political world involves the flu
ture Of those who are known hereabouts
as silver republicans. They are the
only peoph Shos thus far, appear to
have responded to any of the addresses
lately issued by friends of silver at the
national capital. A few weeks ago, in
tentative way, there was talk of a
coming together of the gold and silver
republican forces in this state. With
aiacrlty the gold-republican newspapers
took UP the proposition. they seemed
ready and willing to enter into a union
provided always that the silver republic
cans would admit that they had erred
and would be for the goldbug admins
tration. the gold plank in the ST. Louis
platform and all that.
The result is that thus early the sill
verites who stHl wish to be called re-
publcans have to all appearance, made
up their minds that this year they'll
paddle their own canoe. That seems to
be the only established fact, thus far.
that has bearing on the local politics of
next autumn. Under this arrangement
the administration republicans in Mon
tana will be left to flock by themselves
They'll not need much room for that
They are not a numerous body and there
is not an office in Montana to which
they can elect a candidate.
1t isn't easy to describe silver re-
publican. The name is misnomer
The national republican party has made
the maintenance of the gold standard
its browning issue and its chief mission.
so that the association of the word sill
YER with the title republican Is like the
attempt to mix oil and water. No man
who is a sincere silyerite can be a real
republican: the title is as radically
wrong as the title god-democrat is
there Is no such thing.
However there are voters in some of
the western states who have been say
ing for some years that they want not
one but both and who, were their pro-
gramme to prevail, wouldn't get either
They certainly do not want TO affiliate
with the administration republicans in
this state, and as long as il comforts
them to fancy that they are republicans,
perhaps it's as well.
