II WAS A FINE OLD RALLY
The Democratic Speakers Take
Carroll by Storm.
MESSRS. DUFFY N CASEY
The Democratic Orators Applauded to
the Echo-The Dining Room OF
Floods Boarding House Filled
to Overlooking.

That was a mighty fine old rally tina
the democrats held last evening at Car
oil. That prosperous little city turn
ed out in the finest kind of style, and
IT was easy to be seen that none but
democratic voters will be counted at
Carroll.
The meeting last evening was held at
Floods boarding house. the dining room
of which was used as a hall. The room
is a large one. but ii was not large
enough to accommodate all of those who
desired to listen to the speakers. The
audience was thoroughly representative
of Carroll, there being none there but
w~orkingmen. Workingmen who work
and work each day, and not working
men for political purposes. The speak
ers OF the evening were Hon. j. II. Duff
fy. candidate on the democratic ticket
for the office of county attorney, and ].
T. Casey, a bright young lawyer, who
has the financial question in all its de-
tails we'll In hand. The speakers were
listened to with the closest attention
and their remarks were from time to
time punctuated with the most gener-
Gus rounds of applause. Among those
who found seats in the audience were
many ladies. who took as much interest
in IN discussion of the issues of the
day as did the men.
The meeting was swelled to some ex-
tent by three or four carloads of en-
thusiastic democrats from Anaconda.

The meeting was called to order by
Harry Wasman, a lifelong democrat OF

issues Of to-day are the same as those
which confronted the people in 1896,
when o voted for thai great and
gallant leader, the true. honest and
faithful friend of labor-william J..
Bryan" At the mention of Mr.. Bry-
ans name there was the widest APP
imaginable. There has nothing
INTERVIEWED, said Mr.. Duffy, to change
your vote. The enemy that was an
enemy to Montana's chief industry then
is its enemy now. He referred to the
white metal. The issue is the same
to-day as ii was then. Republicans
are Just as much. IL not more, deter
mined to strike down silver now as
they were then. Do not be deceived
by their clumsy efforts to inject into
this campaign other issues. There are
none. The financial question is the
only Issue.
Mr.. Duffy then took up the county
ticket. For sheriff. said the speaker.
the democrats placed before the people
as their candidate, John ConIey. or
rather Jack Conley. by which name
he was Known to everybody. Shortly
after taking up his residence in Nom

After his service under Mr.. Irwin. Mr..
Ccnley became the chief deputy OF
