Designs for Four New Monitors.

Final approval has been given to the
designs for four monitors on which bids
will be invited in a few days. Two tur-
rets would be placed on each vessel
mounting four guns. but for the limit of
appropriation which renders it impractic-
able. on the displacement allowed. to get
mere than one turret on the ships. This
is to be placed forward, and will have a
radius of action so that the guns may be
trained well aft on either side. The mon
itors will be 100 tons greater displacement
than was at first agreed to. and, loaded
with equipment and coal, are expected to
displace about $500 tons. Their draught
will no. exceed u feet. and the highest
rate of speed will be u knots, They are
to be delivered to the Government in less
than eighteen months.

the young man answered.
Whereat the youth clutched the affair

Then Mr. Twiddleton ran. paying out

What Did II ID ?

TT was In the natural order of its
campaign work hat the Butte Miner
should attack Attorney General No
lan's Auditorium talk. What did this
sturdy democrat say that so mortally
offended Mr.. Clark's newspaper? why.
at a democratic rally in Butte, he
gave testimony. as the result OF his
recent observations i'm the East, to
the effect that the f~ree-coinage ques-
tion is the paramount issue II the
country's congressional elections, and
he then appealed eloquently and ear
nestly to the democrats In Silver Bow
county to stand loyalty by their local
democratic ticket. and by the whole
democratic Campbell ticket in Butte.

Press and People Against Clark.

~HE Butte Miner spews its venom
at Attorney General Nolan be-
cause at Wednesday nights
magnificent democratic rally In Butte
he earnestly and eloquently advocated
the election OF the entire democratic
ticket. As a democrat of unquestioned
loyalty to his party. a democrat who In
every campaign is always found ut the
front fighting for the establishment of
the PRINCIPLES OF democracy. of course
Attorney General Nolan Is a sincere.
vigorous advocate OF the election of
the entire democratic ticket. state and
county. He could not be a good demo-
crat and be anything else.
Mr.. Nolan recognizes the regularity
OF the democratic ticket of Silver Bow
county-so do all the prominent demo-
Gratis and the rank and file Of the party
throughout the state. The Butte Miner.
having taken itself out OF the demo-
cratic party, is not a democratic news
paper. Inc the assertion holds good
that there Is not a single democratic
newspaper In the state of Montana that
has questioned the regularity Of that
ticket-not one. All OF them. without
exception. are appealing to the people
Of the state 20 stand firm and true to
the one great issue of bimetallism: and.
as the only means OF bringing bimet-
allism about. to elect democrats to Of
hce-particuiarly democratic members
Of the legislature. ms thus insure the
election Of a democrat to the United
States senate.
This is the keynote OF the democratic
press throughout he state. This is the
doctrine which that sturdy democratic
organ. the Helena Independent. has
been preaching necessarily. urgently
and with splendid effect. The 1nde-
pendent has never expressed . word OF
sympathy for Mr.. Clark's goldbue
ticket. Il has constantly urged all the
democrats Of Montana to stand firmly
on their party platform and In seasor
and out of season support their party
candidates. Precisely the same course

The Campaign.

From the Bozeman Chronicle.
This Is the last week OF the cam
paign. as far as the Chronicle Is con-
cerned. In its next issue 1t hopes TO
the vote in the state ana
county. and has the utmost confidence
that IL will be democratic from begin
ming to end The democratic party in
the state is a unit on its congressman
and other nominees. A. j. Campbell
will have a majority of over 5000 votes.
The issue has been plainly marked The
democratic party is for silver and the
republican party is against. The lat
ter has e~ndeavored by all possible
means to inject other issues into the
campaign; but the people are stead
fast. They will not be stampeded by
false issues. no matter how glittering.
Montana has declared for silver. and
IL Is not actuated by a childish change
ableness that actuated those enjoying
or hoping to enjoy political pie. In
this county democracy is united as IL
has not been for several years. II rep
resents policies that are near to the
public heart; II has put up a ticket
that Is beyond challenge. Strong in
his satisfaction democracy Is sure Of
its ground and marching in a solid
front to victory through the broken
ranks OF its opponents. who scramble
for a stump or even a straw to hide
behind in hope of personal salvation.
And so ends the week before election.
IL is within safe bounds to say that
roorbacks and accusations will be
sprung from now on; but democrats
will not be alarmed by these. They
will go forward ~undaunted and un-
