The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-09-16

by his handful of hearers. The predic.
ton sounded rather brash and to Justify
1t the speaker proceeded:
You may think that a bold predic-
ton, out L have reasons for asserting
the belief we shall win this election. |
do not believe the democrats who were
so outrageously defeated in the prima-
ries held on Wednesday will ever sup
port the ticket that will be folsted upon
them by two or three men as n result
OF those primaries. | believe. though
their principles are widely at variance
with ours. they will support our ticket
rather than submit"
The speaker did not state whether or
not he had any information on the SUBJ
ject. Continuing. the speaker advo-
Gated making 10 concessions to the sill
yer republicans, whom he characterized
as two or three men who demanded all
the offices before they would reunite
with the straight republicans. He did
not believe i'm taking the offices. or any
of them. from the men who had stood
by the party and giving them to the
silver republicans just to get a few back
into the fold.
A man who said his name was PhiIip
+. Leonard asked permission to address
the audience. and before he had finished
that tired feeling had become contagious
and the chair was offering a reward for
the head Of the man who let him In. He
started out by paying a gratuitous in
suit 20 the ladies by saying:
"As there are no ladies present. /
know | am going II address an intelIi-
gent audience. The gentlemen present
thought this was not saying a great deal
for them, but kept their seats and found
evident enjoyment in the speakers re-
cital Of his political history. He said
he was born and bred a republican:
that he voted the republican ticket when

ever since. He had always made il a
rule to vote several times. and to fur
Their prove he was a good thing he had
done his part at stuffing the ballot
boxes. 1t was noticeable that the gem
tleman's remarks were received with a
sort of fellow feeling.
The meeting was closed. or
the speechmaking was by W.
$. McGill, whose opening remarks
some mistook for a quiet roast
on the preceding speaker. as he said
something about a man having a good
deal of brass to get up before an au-
dience to speak when he had nothing to
say. but subsequent events proved he re-
ferred TO himself. The burden of his re-
marks had reference to the d~egeneracy
OF n man who calls himself a demo-
crat. At the conclusion of the meeting
a number signed the club roll and il
was stated that 43O odd good old-fash-
Toned republicans had been found i'm
the city and had signed. One significant
statement was made TO the chairman
of the meeting. A gentleman who was
selected at one of the caucuses as a dele
gate gleefully Informed the chair that
every man in his precinct was a Clark
man, whatever that might have meant.
As far as the returns from the caucus
es were received, the tickets selected
were as follows:
