TAKE THEM AWAY.
Chicago Regards It as No Honor to Have
y the Convention or Headquarters.

Anent the rumor that the head
quarters of the Democratic national
Committee were about to be removed
from Chicago. the Times-Herald bids
1t adieu In the following caustic Ian
guage:
That Senator Jones may carry out
each and all Of these designs which
he thinks inimical to this city ought
to be the fervent hope OF every well
wisher Of Chicago.
For three years Chicago has borne
uncomplainingly the stigma and re-
proach OF Identification with the
national policy and headquarters OF
the Democratic party.
The great fire of 1871 was a blessing
to Chicago compared with the bale
full effect Of coupling it's name with
the Bryan platform Of 1896 That
emanation of discomfort, fanaticism
and folly went forth to the world as
the Chicago platform" Never was
there a more monstrous and mis-
I. leadin misnOmer. The result was
that wherever the issue Of sound
money versus reputation In Amer
lea has been discussed this city has
been referred to as the hOtbed OF
every wild. revolutionary and dis.
honest sentiment in that i~ncendiary
, document. Chicago ha- had to wear
the crown of thorns placed ON its
brow by the national Democracy OF
1896.
In vain did Chicago at the first OPP.
portunity r~epudiate WilliamJ. Bryan
and his platform with all the force
= of an adverse plurality of $4,000. In
vain did Illinois emphasize the action
of Chicago with a plurality of 141 ,51I
against Bryan and his policy Of dis
aster. The title Chicago platform
has hung like a milestone about the
neck Of this city, d%isgracing it's nam,
'and undermining It's credit through
out the world.
The Chicago platform never hat
any support in the community
whose name 1t stole and debauched
In 1896 not \ single newspaper In
Chicago de ended it's abominabl,
doctrines. The city that had throt
tied anarchy had no Use for politica

ILEGIONS GREETED HIM.

Helena lierald.l

Helena herald.l
Senator +. G. Power who has
returned from Chicago, where he
witnessed the concluding portions of
the celebration in honor Of President
Mckinley and the laying Of the cor
ner stone of the government building,
says that the demonstrations ac-
corded the President were almost
unheard OF. Wherever the chief
executive of the nation went the
masses greeted him enthusiastically
regardless Of party and testified by
their enthusiasm that they were in
hearty accord with his admin
istration in every particular anu
proposed To give the President MI
the support he needed.
"rimes are good in the east" said
the senator; plenty of work and
but one draw back-the scarcity Of
men to work. The trip vi the
President has been an eye-opener to
the pinheads who have been criti-
cising the administrations policy.
The receptions tended him have
been wonderful. 1t is "a good thing
for the President to get among the
people. Ii Is n good thing to have
the President come west II only IA
far as Fargo. In time we hope to
have him here"

w. Hubert, who was a member Of
Company b, Utah artillery, during
the Philippine campaign, and fire.
quently met the Montana boys during
their wild and fearless PUSHES on the
FilipInos, is very enthusiastic in his
praise Of the Montana regiment. Mr..
Hubert is now d resident OF this city,
having arrived here Saturday.
81 think the Montana regiment was
the finest and bravest on the entire
fighting line" he said, land that is
saying a good deal, for do not re-
member a single instance where any
of the American boys showed any
suspicion of the white feather. When
the M%ontanians gave their whoop
they would go across the line ut n
pace that would almost take your
breath away. The march from La
Iona church to Malolos, which they
subsequently captured. was accom-
panied by continuous fighting, in
which the boys invariebly distin-
guished themselves by fighting with
the desperation OF Indians"
Mr.. Hubert thinks that the city OF
Butte, as representing the will Of the
state, cannot do too much for the
boys when they arrive here In order
to show their appreciation of theser-
vice they have rendered to our infant
state in covering her with the glory
OF achievement and victory in the
war.
