Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-08-17

At a meeting OF the Republican
state central committee, held in Hell
ena last week. ii was decided to hold
the state convention at the capital
on Saturday, Sept. n. The meeting
was a very harmonious one, the ques-
ton of representation and the time
OF holding the convention being the
ones to be considered. As to repre-
sentation, five plans We're proposed.
and the committee decided upon the
plan of deducting the vote OF the Nc
kinley electors from the vote OF
Charles NJ. Webster for state treas
urer and add 30 per cent and allow
each county one vote for each 30 OF
the total, and add five delegates at
large. AS will be seen by the call In
another column, Fergus county is en-
titled to NJ delegates. and it is hoped
there will be but few proxies. The

The Republicans promised, if the
party should be returned to power,
that sound money would be main
tanned: work for the unemployed;
tariff tn protect American industry;
surplus instead of deficit i'm the United
States treasury; prosperity for the
nation; upbuilding of the navy;
American control of Hawaii; naval
station in the West Indies; freedom
for Cuba. Every promise and pledge
has been redeemed and the country
Is entering upon the greatest era of
prosperity ever known. There is
every indication that a great victory
awaits the party next November all
over the Union. Let Republicans
stand together and Montana will be
redeemed.

The Democratic Plan.

In a recent issue of the Great Falls
Tribune appeared an editorial highly
eulogistic of Charles S. Hartman and
endorsing him at the fusion candi-
date for congress. In the same edi-
torial the writer says sit is conceded
that the Democrats are entitled to
the United States SENATOR" This is
the dose prepared for silver Republi-
cans, is it? What a wonderful con-
cessionl Now, if there is a Democrat
in Montana Charley Hartman is one.
True, some who are ambitious to be
his successor, will say his conversion
is bnt very recent and that he should
he taken in on probation. But the
fact that he would probably get more
silver Republican votes than one who
has long been identified with the
party, outweigh all claims of the
long suffering and faithful. Then,
again, the Democrats are willing to
swallow Hartman, though recently
converted to the faith, if they can
secure the senator. That's the scheme,
although it is not a harmonious one.
But every silver Republican knows
what this all 1t means the
turning down Of Senator Mantle.
There are plenty of silver Republi-
cans who will not take this medicine.
They claim to be Republicans on
every question save that of silver
and they admire thecourageous, con-
sistent and honorable course of Sena-
tor Mantle at Washington. While
steadfast in his views regarding
silver and voting for it when he had
an opportunity, he did not forget
that he represented n great common
wealth of varied interests and that
it was his duty to aid every industry
i'm the state by his voice and vote.
How faithfully he performed that
duty the record shows.
How is it with Hartman? He OPP
posed every Republican measure that
came before the house. when he didn't
dodge, and on nearly every question
that divided the parties he voted
with the Democrats. He accom-
plished absolutely nothing for Mon
tana or the people OF other states,
and he should have returned his sal
AIRY to the U. ). treasury consci-
ence fund. Whenever he spokeit was
i'm criticism of his former associates
or of the administration. Even Teller
and other prominent silver Republi-
cans became Disguised with him.
He is not in harmony with the ma
jOrity of either party on the issues
incident to the present war, though
he has striven to be with the Demo-
Gratis. Are silver Republicans going
to be parties to a deal to defeat
demagouge to congress?

Offers by an English Syndicate Like
ly to BE Accepted.
United States Consul Wiesike, at Ma
nagua, Nicaragua, informs the State De-
partment that FL Liberal, the semi-official
new spaper, has published statement to
the effect that the National railroad of
Nicaragua would be sold to a syndicate Of
English capitalists. who would pay the ma
tional debt of Nicaragua to the English
tondholde-s, and, above this, would pay
the sum of 81 500, 900 silver to the govern
ment. Mr.. Wiesike says that he called on
SeEor Calderon, the minister of interior
relations. to learn the truth OF the report,
ard was informed by him that such a prop
osition had been made to the Nicaraguan
government by Mr.. Louis Wichmann. the
agent of the Atlas Steamship Company.
The minister told Mr. Wiesike that the
bargain had not yet been closed, but tina.
President Zelaya was inclined to accept
the offer made, with some notifications.
and had SO cabled Mr.. Wichmann in Lon
den.
The Atlas Steamship Company has con-
tract with the Nicaraguan government to
construct railroad from Silico Lagoon to
the San Juan river.
President Zelaya, in his message to con-
gress relating to this concession. says:
1.-The contract celebrated with the En-
glsh Company Atlas relative TO the con-
slruction of q railroad from the Silico La
coon 10 the san JusaIl river, 10 ls1cllitdte the
navigation of the same, is being executed,
and the contracting parties have made the
deposit of guaranty. For want OF proper
knowledge of the terms of the concession,
1t is said that the concession conflicts with
that given previously to the canal company
to cross our isthmus. Nothing is more I'M
true The contract with the first associa-
ton is perfectly compatible with the sec
ond, and the greatest care has been OBJ
served in the said contract. in an express
manner. to protect the rights Of the canal
company.

the future of our country, the probable
realization of interoceanic communication.
In fact, there has arrived on our shores
lean government. to study the projected
route Of the Nicaragua canal. II the result
Of the studies Is favorable. as we hope.
very soon the projected work will be COM
nenced: 1t will be transcendent and meal
culable in its effect upon the prosperity Of
our country
