tablished beyond a doubt. On wednes-
day evening there was a rally Of dem
ocrats held at the opera house unde
the auspices Of the democratic state
committed. For three days II was an
nounced in the Standard that this meet
ing would be held at the opera house.
and big posters distributed all over
town announced that fact. The Miner
on Wednesday morning that
the meeting would be held at the Audi
forum. 1t was a cheap trick n UNI
masks the Miners hypocrisy The
Miner knew that there was a Hogan
meeting to be held at the Auditorium.
and II wanted to get the crowd to the
Auditorium to hear speaking for Ho-
gan. rather than to the opera house and
rear talking for Campbell.
The Butte Miner yesterday morning
finally published the biographies Of the
candidates on its mongrel ticket. the
publication of which had been 30 long
deferred as to occasion much comment.
But In the biographies as published the
Miner failed to give some information
which is OF much concern TO the voters
of this county. How many of the can
didates on its ticket are for liver? How
many are for gold? What platform are
they running on. IL they are not run
ming on a gold platform? Do they stand
on any platform except the one adopted
by the gold republicans In their con-

this ticket, whether republican. popu-
list or Clark man, Endorsed by the gold
republicans who adopted a gold plat
form? Every man on the democratic
ticket is a silver man. Every man on
the democratic ticket stand on a silver
platform. and a mighty strong n at
that. The democratic candidates are
democrats. regularly nominated at a
democratic convention. They repre-
sent democracy. They represent the
cause of silver. What dc the Miners
candidates represent? The Miner vol
unteers the information that its candi-
dates IA no collar on them. That
may well be disputed. but II is certain
that there are barrel-hoops round a
