The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-11-10

Larger and greater m greater and
larger rolls up the total Of de~mocracy's
majority in Deer Lodge county-grand
old Deer Lodge county. the county that
has ever stood firm and true to silver.
Some additional returns came in yes
terday morning n all throughout the
day figures from outside precincts
struggled in until last night the
had been SO far received that only a
few Of the unimportant precincts were
still to be heard from.
Anaconda's total for silver. Campbell
and the entire democratic ticket is of
such magnificent proportions that ev-
cry true silver man in this city Is shak-
ing hands with himself n ~congratu-
lating himself that he lives in Ana
conda. And Deer Lodge. too. must
come in for a good share of credit.
Spite of a combination of untoward cir
cumstances, the little city on the trail
to Bear proved her loyalty to the satis-
faction Of everybody. Tom McTague,
who came up to Anaconda yesterday,
and. by the way, to whom a great deal
OF credit is due for the glorious vic
tory that democracy gained yesterday,
says that everybody down there is
tickled to death.
The overwhelming democratic ma
~jorities are, of course. the ~outspoken
expression of the will of the people,,
but in every campaign there Is a rae
tor. which Is called the central COM
mittee. The central committee always
plays a large and important part in a
campaign. Deer Lodge county demo-
Gratis this year were more than fortu-
nate in their selection of the centrll
committee. To the COMMITTEES is due
the lions share of the credit. A. Har-
rity, or, rather, Tony" Harrity, was
at the head and for the success with
which his efforts met the the results
speak for themselves-this newspaper
can add nothing more. Then
there is John r. Walkup. one
of the grandest democrats in
the country. Mr.. WalkuD was
secretary of the committee and upo
him devolved the burden of the detail
work. Mr.. Walkup sacrificed time and
money in working for the success of
the ticket, and a II not been for him
the majorities would have been materi-
ally reduced. The other members of
the committee are not to be overlook
ed either. All OF them worked night
and day for the cause and the success
they achieved Is shown by the returns.
Tne repuDllcdnS ana pOpulsts nave
not yet recovered from their surprise,
and would yesterday express no opin-
ion with reference to how the play
came up One Of them did wake up
q lttle and said that their defeat was
due to the action of Congressman Hart
man. Hartman has been abused ana
blamed before. and a little more or a
little less viii make no difference to
~silver's great champion. 1t Is hardly
the square thing to lay upon the
shoulders of Hartman the emphatic ex-
preston of the people for good honest
local government. There is a different
reason, and may be the republicans
may discover IL in time.
The count IN Anaconda was not COM
pleted until $3.50 o'clock last night. At
that time precinct four finished up its
work. Precincts s and 8 completed the
count at 1890 yesterday morning. The
other precincts concluded before day
light. The count has progressed in a
most satisfactory the judges
and clerks working faithfully and
steadily until the work was completed.
