ton was taken rapidly and. I think. ad-
visedly. SO far as the matter OF fusion
with our national and longtime politi-
cal opponents Is concerned. ] am strong
~ opposed TO that. I would rather go
down to certain defeat than ride To VIC
tory by fusion with our old-time OPP
ponents. But I think we can bring
about a reunion of the two factions OF
the republican party which have been
apart for two years through local diff
ferences. Tn olive branch OF peace has
been extended toward us by our broth
ers. I do not call uniting with them
fusion. but reunion. The republican
us help the union along by deferring
action for "a hours. Let us get the
glorious republican party reunited and
in fighting trim once more"
James Galloway said that there are
many good silver republicans and he
wanted TO see them all rallying around
the glorious old republican flag once
more. They should be encouraged TO
come back into the fold.
Professor John +. Davies said he
would repeat here what he had said in
private. He thought the matter OF
prime Importance was a good admins
tration Of public affairs. On account of
the conditions he favored the resolu-
tion. He thought all should be induced
10 lay aside ~partisanship and join in
this ticket.
James Dingevon wanted to know who
these populists. democrats and silver
republicans were going to put up. He
might not want to support some of
them. He knew that a private caucus
had been held by some OF the delegates
OF this convention with some represent
tatives OF other parties. He wanted to
know what the slate was.
Malcolm Gillis said he believed certain
| propositions would be made from the
parties and IL would be to the interests
Of the republican party of Silver Bow
county to act On them. He had not
seen any proposition yet, but he under
stood that there would be some for unit
ing the party. c. l.. Wood offered an
amendment to nominate seven instead
Of six representatives. This was not
seconded. The resolution was then
adopted by an overwhelming vote.
A motion was then made to adjourn
to ] o'clock this afternoon. Judge l..
J. Hamilton spoke in favor of this res
olution.
II do not believe he said. "in nomi-
mating a ticket until we know what we
are going to do. Why should We place
half a ticket in the field and let the
rest go until tomorrow? Let US wait
until tomorrow for all of IL. Do we
want to get more ultimatums? Let us
wait before we demean ourselves fur
Their. How many more slaps I'm
the face do we want? III we are to nave
any more ultimatums from other par
ties. let us have them before we put up
a ticket"
Malcolm ellis said the debate ought
TO be limited to republicans. Mem
bers Of a faction OF an opposing party
should not be permitted to talk.
For God Almighty's sake" said MIR.
Libby. I'VE have had three slaps in the
face. let US have no more"
The motion to adjourn was voted
down.

Mr.. Thompson was called to the plat

a few remarks. He was DESTROYS OF
building up the republican party again.
The party is in the minority now, N

would be on top again. He hoped all
would do their best for a victory this
fall.
