Not only did the course pursued by the
democratic party in 1898 make possible
the irretrievable injury inflicted upon
the good name and reputation of this
state, through the disgraceful feud which
carried its venom into the Legislative
halls and absorbed the functions of local
government, rs it is now usurping to no
small degree the time and attention of
our courts, but it likewise made possible
the steps that nave since been taken to
subordinate the silver issue in the cam
paign of 1900. Upon the democracy of
the silver states rested the duty of taking
deemed necessary to preserve for 1900
the paramount issue of 1896. 1t was not
TO be supposed that eastern democrats,
most of whom are opposed to free COIN
age. would uphold the silver banner and
insist upon keeping the bimetallic issue
to the front. On the contrary, they
clamored for a modification of the issue,
and it was the bounden duty of honest
~ q oliSls
ent course of loyalty to every policy
calculated to advance the free coinage
cause, from the close of the campaign
in 1896 to the close of the campaign in
1900. Had 1898 been characterized by
such a course, the public would not now
be RECALLED with the announcement un-
~blushingly made by the late silver lead
ers that some question other than free
coinage will be the issue in
the forthcoming presidential campaign.
1t was the democracy Of Montana that
paved the way and made possible the re-
treat of that party from its lofty position
in 1896; it was the democracy of Mon
tana that opened the doors of that party
to the demands that have been success
fully made by its gold wing for reunion
on a compromise basis that would rele-
gate the free coinage ratio to the rear.
Yet. in the face of all this treachery and
deceit on the part of the accredited lead
ers of the so-called silver wing of the
democratic party, the bourbon press
have the unmitigated assurance to adj
wise silver republicans to again come to
their rescue.

As we passed out. for a moment It

when he saw the pale. bloody and in

ward us. and threatenlngly clutched
the hnft OF the Albacete knife in his
sash. Then waving his hand. almost
contemptuously. he said:

Alarm and pity endowed us with I'M
usual strength. and we bore the speech
less victim of Antonio up the steep
stair to the deck. where our crew, with
muttered oaths OF vengeance. and ex-
pressions Of commiseration. bore him
into the forepart Of the vessel. There
bed was made for him on deck; for
coolness. an awning was rigged over 1t,
and We had his wounds examined.
We found deep stab in the neck,
most dangerously near the jugular
vein: n second in the breast. a third
between the bones OF the right forearm
and fourth in the left thigh: all had
evidently been dealt through the bed

verge of intense action, is intolera BILE
torment. Thinking of anything was
utterly out of the question. He did
not dare to return to his office. He was
afraid of the elevator boy. The sun
was never so procrastinating. He
dined slowly and mechanically at the
city club, and still it was not time. He
ordered a carriage and drove to the
main entrance of the Office building.
Still there was time; but there might
not be later, and, to avoid unnecessary
delay or conversation at the last mo-
ment, he carefully instructed the driver
= that when he returned and entered
the carriage he was to start at once,
without word, and drive as rapidly as
possible to the ferry.

said, and turned away; and still there
was time to kill.
The driver laid the instructions away
in the vacant corner of his brain where
he stored such things, and forthwith
went to sleep.
Stanton shrank into the darkest
corner of the gloomy entrance and
went on waiting.
The shrinking was only matter OF
instinct. His course and his chances
had appeared more and more doubtful
with each half hour. There's nothing
like immoderate waiting to make a
coward of a man; and, besides, it began
to appear quite possible that if John
Olmstead could speak he would say:

saint exclaimed, Shaping his friend on

ing the thing brown. Just take your
wife back to the most quiet corner you

Again Stanton was trembling so that
he could scarcely move or speak; but
there was little need, for the clergy
man was well alive, now, to the world
ly wisdom of the case. The witnesses
were hardly introduced when he be-

to catch the first faint sounds OF re-

TO do this he made the record in
New York, and, the idea still progress

a permit from the Brooklyn Office, and
then began the arduous task of waiting
