IT S COMING our ALL RIGHT

Yesterday was q sure emo ugh free coinage day in Butte. here
isn't one Ath Of the political noise in the town there was a week ago.
but you can feel the sure flowing Of the tide. IL is moving silver $
way, and the man is a fool who still thinks that W. A. Carks money
can stop it or check it,
1t is plain to see that, as il by common consent OF public opinion'
silver has taken its normal place as the real test of the year. Butte is
sick and tired of the sensational and senseless side issues that happily
have been worked to death. Clark and the Clark barrel have had
their innings; it will be Bryan and free coinage at the bat in Butte
from now till next Tuesday night. There II reasons for the concen-
tration of the past two days in siiver's favor. In the first place,
thoughtful men see that the strong support of Hogan at one or two
be elected; that a high vote for him means the impairment of the
these two Or three centers would make highly probable the election of
Marshall, the goldbug.
Serious, sober second though. is making this fact clear, and you
can feel the effect of iti in the marked strengthening OF the Campbell
ticket during the past forty-eight hours. The silver record will be
kept right in Silver Bow county next Tuesday-you can wager on that
and win.
Other factors III operating effectively. The Clark republican
movement has nothing left except its barrel. Its incendiary orators
are silenced-if there have recently been any Clark meetings they
have been held son the dead quiet" The torch bearers have been called
in and paid off; the Hale house still stands, and other notable build
ings in Butte have not been burned to the ground.
As for the Inter Mountain, ii kept SC busy trying to hold Its
own ticket intact that it hasn't any time in which to abuse Campbell
Mr.. Mantle's newspaper is loading its columns with wailing now be
cause Clark is putting in ten hour shifts pulling men OF the Inter
Mountains ticket and paying more than the regular Clark scale for
deserters from the Mantle ticket.
Things ar looking up for silver in Silver Bow county assuredly,
the voters are headed the right way. The one essential thing is for
the friends Of the free coinage Campbell ticket in Butte never to LEI

= ERE IL a statement which the

the consideration OF every candid sill
Metropolitan in Butte.
Thus far the Inter Mountain, the rec

In CampbeiI's Old Home.

From the Livingston Post.
Mr.. Campbell was one of Park county's
representatives to the last legislature and.
without disparagement to any of his
predecessors from Park county. II may
be stated without fear of successful con-
tradiction that the county was never
more faithfully or more ably represented
since II was organized. Mr.. Campbells
course I'm the legislature met the unqual-
flied appreciation. not only OF the demo-
cratic party. but OF all fair-minded citi-
gems of every political party. Those who
differed with him politically were proud
that Park county had such an able repre-
sentative in the legislature. His course In
that body was everywhere commended.
and IL was the common talk among cit
liens of Livingston and Park county that
the state had no ADLER or more level-head-
ed representative I'm the house or SEN
ate. The citizens of Park county. without
respect to political Affiliations. resent the
imputations now being cast upon their
former citizen and representative. The
more this Is done the greater will be the
majority vote for Mr.. Campbell in this
meek of the woods" where he is best
known.

The Right Ticket.

HAT Carter says In addressing
" campaign audiences in Mon
tsna has ceased to be Of in
terest to h voting public. AT first
there was a certain curiosity to know
whether he was proposing TO go cour-
~ageously at the task OF admitting the
truth about the republican party's pol
icy OF hostility to silver OF whether he
would pursue his traditional course of
evasion. II turned put that Carter
made a clumsy effort to work both
sides Of II. He was, in silver communi-
ties. the advocate of the ridiculous
proposition that silver has hope In Nc
Kinleyism; in sections Of the state
where silver Is not strong, Mr.. Carter
has turned loose along regulation gold
bug lines
The result is that Mr.. Carter himself
has been a gloomy failure-the Mar

about to-day but for the support II has

disturbance In Silver Bow county. In

There are two Clark tickets in Butte.

tha there is more or less harm FOR

Then followed the Lloyd incident.
When the Mantle ticket was made up.
John E. Lloyd was nominated for
sheriff. He willingly accepted. When
he did this he denounced in scathing
terms what III described as the sale of
the republican party to Clark. No man
was frmer in the denunciation Of the
Clark movement: Mr.. Lloyd was rated
to be one OF the true-blue men on the
Mantle ticket.
Last Monday-at an hour Of the cam
paign which the Clarks thought was
fatally late-Mr. Lloyd resigned his
nomination for the office of sheriff.
More than that. I'm an open letter Mr..
Lloyd vigorously advocates the election
OF the Clark ticket. Here again Mr.
Mantle loses to Clark the man he prob
ably had fancied to be the last man &c

slippery Tom.

From the Teton Chronicle.
Slippery Tom Carter delivered one OF his
stereotype speeches In Choteau last FRI
day night. II was decidedly offensive to
his own followers and many became COM
pletely Disguised before he had con-
cluded. Nc arguments were produced In
behalf OF the real issue of this campaign.
His utterances were OF an abusive ma
ture, and all unbelievers OF rep~ub,icanism
were termed fools by Tom. lie thought
because they now believed as he did when
elected to the senate by the silver forces.
that they lacked common horse sense. III

The Discouraged Republican,.


From M Stevensville Iripune
The democrats and their ellies are max
ing a strong. aggressive fight all along the
line. There is no lodging, no compromis-
ing. no equivocation. The republicans are
greatly disconcerted because all their
efforts to drive their opponents from the
firm support of the principles OF the Chi
cago platform have failed ing.oriously.
They see that this very confidence and
loyalty Is adding each day to the strength
of the congressiona candidates who are
making their fight on that PLATFORM.

The Montana Press.
The wooigrower and siive.

From the Great Falls Tribune.
one OF the strange and mysterious
things In state politics Is that so many
men interested In the growing of wool
should be ready to believe that their in
terest is served by voting for the main
tenance of the single gold standard. We
can easily understand why they favor a
protective tariff on wool. They believe
that its tendency IL to increase the mar
ket price of wool and SO bring them more
dollars when they bring IL to market and
pay on their notes at the bank. The Trib-
une agrees with them In this belief. al
though II claims that owing to certain
loopholes left in the tariff bill at the IN
stance of the manufacturers. a good deal
OF the ostensible protection to wool Is lost.
But what Is the use OF building up the
price OF wool by a protective tarin with
one hand and tearing IL down by the
maintenance OF the single gold standard
with the other. And that u the sure result.
TIT gold standard men themselves admit
II. Senator Carter. in February. 1896, In
a speech In the senate. before he treacher-
ously sold out his principles for q price.
said: "A large percentage OF the repubii-
can party all over the country believe that
protection under a gold standard VIII not
protect" That was the truth. Protection
will not protect under the constant daily
operation Of a gold standard which re-
duces prices. and at the same time re-
duces the purchasing and consuming pow
er OF the masses Of the people. The single
gold standard IL the deadly enemy OF the
woolgrower. the cattle owner. the mine
and the wage Garner. II benefits no class
OF people except the money ioaner. That
is the eternal truth that will one day
reach the understanding of all men. and
when that day arrives the doom OF the
single gold standard viii be sounded.
Don't be misled by brass bands and big
sounding words. Set your reason 20 work
on this problem. Let your thinker think.
and you will ind that both duty TO hu-

you to vote against the single gold stand
