DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS.

The Butte Inter Mountain says the
next democratic state convention held
in Montana should adopt the following
plank:
Resolved, That the democratic party
Of the state of Montana points with
pride to the noble, courageous and pa
triotic action of the four republican
members Of the last legislature who
refused to sell out to either wing of the
beloved party, and whose example we
wish to hold up for the admiration and
emulation OF the youth Of the state.
As we cannot commend the democratic
members who were nearly all out for
the stuff, according to the admission of
the Anaconda Standard, we point with
pride to the republican record. We adj
NIT that the democratic party should
be played with a copper in future legis-
lative elections.
If the above resolution would be too
frank, how would the following do:
Resolved, That the democratic party
of the state of Montana views with
alarm the tendency to corruption in
state politics and points with pride to
the action Of nearly one-half of the
democratic members of the last legisla.
ture who absolutely refused to take
money for their votes Ill the senator
ship contest. The other forty democra-
tic members we do not care to refer to
in this connection, as some of them
may be reelected and we cannot afford
to have them raise their prices next
time in a spirit of resentment. The
Butte Miner, however, knows that
some OF them sold out for big money,
and that as a result the salaries in that
institution have recently been reduced,
on the ground that it would never do
to let such wholesale corruption 60 un-
punished.
Perhaps the following would be a
still better plank:
Resolved. That the democratic party
OF the state Of Montana views with in.
expressible contempt the twelve repub-
licans and the three Hartmanites who
voted for a democratic candidate for the
United States senate, and that we here.
