system and when defeated in
one convention "rustled" anoth-
err that was less exacting in it's
requirements from candidates,
and at last secured a nomination.
1t was hard work, and it was ex-
pensive in more ways than one,
but Mr.. Marriott is nominated
and that we presume is all that
he hoped for. Mossbacks and
old-timers may say that a man
who goes into convention for a
nomination and is defeated, is in
honor bound to support the sue
cessful candidate, but we assure
them, that their views are antiq-
uated and that Mr.. Marriott would
scorn to be influenced by any
such old fashioned motive. Be
ing nominated is the next best
thing to being elected, and Mr..
Marriott, evidently, proposed to
get that next best thing if he had
to nominate himself. And now
nobody can deny that he is real
ly nominated. No man can de-
prive him of that glory. 1t
would take the Supreme Court
to do that and they, we presume,
will not be asked to interfere in
his case. Really not worth
while, you know 1t is Mr..
Marriot's first appearance in
politics, and he is to be congrat
ulated upon entering political
life unhampered by any princi-
pies or scruples that would pre-
vent his catching at any nomina-
tion that happened to be turned
loose in his vicinity. He travels
light, and we expect to see some
strange developments in this his
first and last campaign.

INDEPENDENT PARTY PLATFORM.


We believe in the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 10 to 1. We pledge ourselves to an
economical county government, and believe the
best men should be elected TO fill county offices
regardless Of politics, and the people should be
given the privilege of selecting those officers at
the polls, and believe all parts of the county
should be represented as nearly as possible.
We do not believe that one precinct should CON
troll the county nor control the majority OF the
best and most responsible Offices but should be
distributed throughout the county. We do not
believe in fusion for office only. We denounce
the ring rule" of the old parties in Custer
county We insist that the county officers, es-
pecially the County Commissioners, give their
special attention to the collection of all school
monies, and apply the same as the law directs,
and spare no means to collect all money due
the county. We denounce the present hand
ling of the road system in Custer county, and
believe the roads should be kept In better con-
dition than they have been in the Past two
years. We call special attention of the new
Commissioners to the condition of the county
roads, and ask that they carefully consider the
repair and construction OF county roads.
We pledge our candidates in county govern
ment to the strictest economy consistent will
the competent administration of public
affairs in the county, but we insist that this
economy shall be secured by uniform and equtt
able adjustment, and not as has been done
through the reduction of the wages OF the da.

THE FUSION.

On the fusion that was effect
ed in this county between the
Silver Republicans and Demo
Gratis there was and has been
considerable talk, some believ-
ing that it was effected by the
office seekers only. On this point
let us look the matter over. The
Democrats and Silver Republi-
cans made an honorable alliance
at their conventions in Boise
City. The position the Popu-
lists took made it impossible for
them to be recognized in the al
lance, as it was evident they
were more for office than for
principle, viz: The free coinage
of silver principle which hither-
to they have so strongly advoca-
ted. The Democrats and Silver
Republicans who SO strongly
urged fusion in this county were
under instructions from their
State Central Committee.
Let us cite the names of few
Democrats who supported fusion.
w. III. Felkner worked untiring-
ly for the fusion of the two par
ties. Did he ever in the history
of the Democratic party of Gus
ter county ask for or accept an
Office of any kind ? James Hoop
er was another who put forth
his best efforts to secure the
fusion of the two parties, yet in
so doing he jeopardized his
chances for a nomination. There
are others who worked quite as
hard and quite as concientiously
in the interest of fusion. Why
did they do so First, the free
coinage of silver being the para
mount issue it is necessary that
all the silver elements should
combine when it is possible tc
do so.
! Second, the Silver Republicans
and Democrats having formed al
alliance, on the State ticket, it is
not only right but necessary tx
use all honorable efforts to effec
q fusion in the county. Third
If we who live in a silver-pro
ducing country cannot unite il
favor of silver, why should VIZ
expect help from those portions
of the United States that do no
mine or produce the metal.
There are great many othe
J reasons why the majority of TIN
Democrats earnestly desire |
fusion, but already this article il
| too long for the amount of spac
: allowed us.

FUSION.

a ohJAOASs
The Silver Republicans be-
lieve the issue of paramount i'm
portance before the people is
SILVER. The Democrats
through their leaders, say they
believe, upon this question, the
same as we do. This being true
the Silver Republicans are will
ing, regardless of their party |
strength in any political district,
to join the Democrats in the
selection of tickets. The Demo
Gratis, through their leaders, say
are willing to forget the past and
ignore future differences and join
forces with the Silver Republi-
cans. We are fighting together
not as brothers, but as comrades
in the defense of common prin-
ciple. 1t was this thought, this
feeling OF comradeship, which
was underlying the action of
both State conventions at Boise.
1t was the same thought, the
same feelings which underlaid
both the party conventions at
this place. And to carry out
this compact both parties sacri
feed good and strong men for
Office in each convention. Meth
er party wished to say to the
world, we are willing to divide
our second line of defense. Office
seekers did not nor could not
control the action of either party
at this place.
Are the Silver Republicans
sincere in their position ? Let
us see. When Henry M. Teller
left the Republican party he had
no reason to expect his position
would be supported by almost
the entire State of Colorado.
Congressman Towne went down
to certain defeat rather than de-
sert the principles he advocated.

monetization of silver antagoniz-

banks. Did not our own Fred

The Independent Party of
Custer county at their conven-
tion held in Clayton on the 18th
inst, placed a ticket in the field
that we believe the voters of
this county can heartily sup
port. This party was not form
ed for a political purpose, but
the sole object being to put forth
a ticket composed of men and
women, if elected, would give us
a good county government.
1t is a party of the people, and
by them we expect to march to
victory November next. In fact
it is a citizens or taxpayers
party who desire to see a change
in the way our county affairs
have been managed for the past
few years. We ask for new
deal. The fusion ticket is most
ly the "same old boys" but
switched on the ticket for differ
ent offices, besides it is what
could be termed a "Challis tick
et," not Custer county ticket.
We call the attention of the vot-
ers of Custer county to the above
platform, and ask them if they
do not agree with us in our
declarations. 1t is the only
party that the masses can well
afford to support.
The Independent party of Gus
ter county declares for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio OF
Is to 1; good county government,
also asks for the return of al
tmonies due Custer county.
Politics should cut no figure
in county affairs, but vote fol-
the best men and women fol
such offices. The Independent
party presents a ticket that al
can support-from top to bot
tom-or in other words from
Senator to Coroner.
The Silver Republicans ant
Democrats of Custer county fused
they claim not for Office, but II
the public it looks as though off
ce was the only real object. The,
virtually said to the voters o
Custer county you must vote thu
fusion ticket or not vote at all
But this scheme did not work
for the voice of the people wa
against any such ''slate conven
tion," and an Independent part,
was formed, which promises t.
, make a clean sweep next Nov
ember, if we mistake not.
The Independent party is no
q party of "bolters," office-seek
ers nor Populists, as the fusion
lists claim, but a party of til
people regardless of forme
political faith. 1t is for goc
county government. 1t is
; party that the laboring man an
woman can support; it is part
! that all can support. 1t is FIRE
silver party. 1t is composed c
honorable men and women.
