fere.
The normal school contest is still
on at Springfield and there appears
little prospect of an early settlement.
The trustees put in yesterday dis
cussing a proposition to appoint a
commission of normal school men to
select the site. but it was pointed out
that this would not help matters
The board OF trustees cannot legally
shift the responsibility for the Ioca-
tion of the school, nor can it bind
itself TO accept the judgment of out
side men, Iv was suggested that the
trustees as individuals could bind
themselves, but some of the members
object to this and insist that the trus-
tees shall do the work themselves.
Call on Governor.
Today the trustees will call on Gov.
Tanner for advice. but it is not likely
that he will interfere. He has been
keeping out of the fight, and It would
not be TO his advantage TO throw his
influence to either of the towns.

Political Rawlings From Ra
valli County.
To the Inter Mountain:

The Inter Mountain of February 2
quoted a paragraph from the Anaconda
Standard which closes in the following
language: well, what was there to
fuse WITH"
The question is well answered by the
Inter Mountain, excepting, perhaps, it
hardly gives sufficient credit and proml-
hence to the eminent statesmen from the
Sour Dough district. Between the call
ing of the several state conventions last
fall and their sittings at Anaconda, our
own Charlie Hartman Travelled all over
the state of Montana, astride a demo-
cratic mule of the late and revised Cleve-
land pattern, telling the dear people of
the reckless extravaganza of the present
administration, and how he had labored
in season and out of season to keep it
in pounds of decency and economy by
vOting-a declaration Of war with Spain,
and refusing to vote supplies for soldiers
and munitions Of war.
He had it figured to a penny-the cost
Of the war-and Senator Mantle during
the campaign conclusively proved that
Charles figures were a a k of the most
rank and venal kind.
Congressman Hartman, in his period
ical spectacular plays OF the floor of
congress-, tried to convince himself and
make it plain to others that he was no
longer a republican, and, il a silver re-
publican, was of decidedly strong demo-
cratic tendencies.
The Anaconda wing Of the democratic
party saw its opportunity to gobble all
there was in sight, regardless Of parties,
individually and collectively, that had
given it power and prestige in the state
parties that loved oliver more thar
partisan success, but had a right to eX-
pect and receive consideration at the
| hands Of the democracy. Did they get
it?
The treatment the silver republican
party has received at the hands of the
democratic party in this state needs a
! special treatment, and to do it justice
will require language more forcible than
elegant to show UP in a proper light its
selfish greed.
Now, I am not troubled at all about
the ability Of the Inter Mountain to take
care of itself, but | desire to say that !
gave my vote to w. j. Bryan in the
hope that silver would win a decided vic
tory. AS it did not, and | can see ne
light and strength for silver along dem
ocratic lines, / cannot, directly or indi-
rectly, encourage the democratic party OF
Montana. X.

If the other faction exercises the pre-
negatives of party leadership, the doc
trine- of protection will be introduced into
the platform in the sacred name OF
Thornas jefferson, which will also enable
that organization to erect it's tents in the
rear of re~publicanism.
AS these two democratic factions are
engaged in the work of running the state,
a work. by the way, in which the common
herd take more or less interest, it would
be very gratifying to the public II the
chairman of that party woul issue a
bull, a protocol, a proclamation, or some
thing of that sort, defining the present
political views of the democracy and out
lining probable changes in the heartfelt
convictions of the party before the spring
elections come on.

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

On the strength of a telegram from
CONGRESSMAN Hartman, the Anaconda
Standard indirectly a%ccredits that repre-
sentative with having been largely in
strumental in securing the passage
through the house of Senator Nantes
bill providing for a public building in the
city Of Butte. Insofar as personal efforts
arc concerned, Mr.. Hartman did nothing
when it was pending in the house. Last
wear he made a speech which defeated
the appropriation for a site for a public
building, and beyond that display Of rhe-
toric has contributed nothing to the in
~terests Of this city.
TO the efforts Of Senator Mantle is due
the success Of the bill. He not only made
several speeches in behalf of the meas
ure, but made every report on it for the
past four years. To Congressman Mer-
Ger. chairman of the committee on public
buildings, is due a great deal Of credit
for securing the approval of the house Of
representatives, that gentleman having
co-operated with Senator Mantle in Sc
curing the favorable action of that body.
Had Mr.. Hartman been depended upon to
influence the house, the measure would
have been ingloriously defeated in COM
mon with other bills which have had the
misfortune Of his active support.
AS the Anaconda Standard claims for
itself the credit of having started the
movement for a public building in this
city some nine years ago, its disposition
to accredit Mr.. Hartman with faithful
work for Butte can be regarded as mere
~ another excerpt from its voluminous
library of idiosyncrasies. The Standard
also started the Spanish American var
as any one can see who will look over
it's files. and by a large number of people
is believed to have elected Mr.. Clark to
| the senate.

The silver republican members of the
legislature were evidently caught mapping
when they permitted a democrat to an
~ticipate them in the introduction of a
joint memorial to congress praying for a
constitutional amendment providing for
the election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people. The silver re-
publicans led off with hat declaration in
their state platform, While the democrats
thought the old plan more conducive to
purity in politics.
