mittee on platform and resolutions, then
read the following. the references TO
Mckinley being vigorously applauded,
the pointing with pride and the ref

being received in silence:
The republicans of Silver Bow coun-
", in convention assembled, affirm anew
their faith in those party principles and
policies i~nseparably associated with
glorious national achievements and
which are the continuing safeguard OF
public interests.
Through all stress of public clamor
and clash of rival political creeds we
turn for inspiration to the record OF the
national republican party of the United
States.
proudly mindful of past republican
achievements in behalf of American
progress and conserving the welfare OF
the masses, we confidently predict sat
isfactory solutions of all complicated
issues now pending settlement by con-
gressional or action.
1--WE heartily commend the present
administration of national affairs under
that conscientious, conservative, patri-
otic, illustrious statesman, William Nc
Kinley. To this impressive, heroic ifs
ure, undaunted by public cIamor or for.
eign menace. the republican hosts look
for safe leadership and inspiring vic
tory.
Recognizing the Importance of tht
financial question, we affirm that this
problem will be best solved by that pc
liticaI organization which has origi
mated all favorable affirmative legisla
ton in behalf of silver and which car
be trusted TO preserve the essential par
ity between all the products OF coinage

whose record is greater guarantee thar
democratic professions. and which hab
itually shines in action rather thar II
protest.
AS a sample of the hollowness o
democratic friendly professions for sill
yer, we cite their attempt to raise mon
ey for the conduct of the Spanish wa
by Issuance of $3.50, 900, 900 of irredeem
able legal tender notes, thus discardini
all monetary metals. Had sue an at
tempt been successful. silver would
have received a most crushing blow.
This would have resulted in the pay
ment of our gallant soldiers, who brave,
the dangers of camp and field in tn
fever-laden regions of Cuba and tn
South, in ar irredeemable paper cur
rency.
1--WE affirm that by its course in tn.
past the republican party has show
itself to be the only safe custodian o
our great financial and commercial in
terests and the only party with whicI
the sincere friends of bimetallism ca
safely affiliate.
1--WE point with pride to the recor
Of the republican party pom the ques
ton of protection TO American indus
tries and labor, under whose fosterin
policy the products of farm and fac
tory have been greatly enhanced /
value and saved from competition wit
foreign pauper labor and the countr
has entered upon an unparalleled ca
reer of prosperity. This grand resul
has followed the restoration of conf
dence inspired by the success OF tn
national republican party. In line wit
this benign policy Montana has expert
enced a revival of business interest,
with increased values in grain, woo
stock and other productions.
I'VE denounce the present admins
tration of state, county and municips
affairs as VIGOROUSLY incompetent ar
wasteful. resulting in burdensom
taxes. s~candalous NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
neglect of official duty and insecurit
to personal rights through offensive ia
voritism.

cure a safe conservative and econon

invite the cooperation OF all good cit
zens regardless of past party affilif
