the democratic party to relegate silver to
the rear. If it looked with delight on
such a movement it would certainly not
point out the dangers that threaten the
silver cause, and entreat the silver de-
mocracy of this state to guard against
them.
To speak of finding some democrat in
the east who opposes free coinage, is to
mis-state the situation. To find one who
favors free coinage at the established
ratio of Is to l is by far the more difficult
task. 1T is a knowledge of this fact that
prevents the Standard and the demqc-
racy it represents from takingoup arms
the gold wing of that party. They real
ize that they must trim their sails to new
breezes in 1900, and do not wish to pretu-
dice their standing at the presidential
box-office in case of victory, by trying to
avert the calamity that threatens the
cause of free coinage, which they pro-
fess to love so well. Hence, the apathy
on the part of the Anaconda Standard
and it's followers. Having won the cleo
ton of 1898 through it's professed devo-
ton to free coinage, the Montana democ-
racy is apparently ready to swallow a
thing.

If the charges made are not investigated

have emanated from prominent demo-

enough fun out of the situation to waive
the matter of reputation in the future.

WALKING OU1.

The Anaconda Standard refuses to
commit the democracy of this state to the
policy of having it's delegates walk out of
the next national convention, provided it
does not declare for the free coinage of
silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Having abso-
lutely pledged that convention to such a
declaration two years in advance of it's
meeting, and given to the people of this
state the unqualified assurance that free
coinage will be made the paramount
issue in 1900 by the national democracy,
it is indeed surprising that the Standard
is unwilling to recommend a withdrawal
of silver democrats from that body
should it unfortunately fall into the
hands of the Philistines.
Unless the silver democrats of Montana
are wiling to go the extreme Of cutting
loose from their party affiliations, pro-
vided their national convention refuses to
adopt a free coinage plank, then the
cause of silver is indeed in a hard way.
The silver republicans of the United
States withdrew from their party in 1896
and devoted their energies to the cause
of bimetallism, whether they formally
withdrew from the national convention
or not, and no one could honestly aues-
ton their unswervering fidelity to the
cause.
In refusing to state whether the devo-
ton of the Montana democracy to the
cause of free coinage is equally strong,
the Standard falls back on the statement
that Senator Mantle did not walk out of
the st. LOU convention, and yet he is a
reliable silver man. But the democracy
of this state has hardly appreciated Sem
ator Nantes work in behalf of silver
sufficiently to now attempt to use him as
a convention example. AS the Standard
so wills, however, we will ask that oracle
to give to the people of Montana the as
s~urance that the Democracy of this state
will break away from it's political affilia-
lions, provided the national convention
of that party does not declare for the free
coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of
16 to /. Will the silver democrats of Mon
tana do this or will they take their medi-
cine?
AS the Standard on behalf of it's con
stituency positively assured the people
: that the national democracy would be
, loyal to free coinage, and thus strength
, ened it's position in the late campaign, lei
us now heal as to what it would dc

lied. Though the convention is quite a
way off one point is as pertinent as the
, other, and an anxious public has a right
' to know Just where the fidelity of the
Montana democracy begins and leaves
off. Besides it would be reassuring to thu
public to know what the dominant party
intends to do about 1t.
