Although the national democrat

Although the national democratic
platform contained a plank demand
ing construction of an isthmian canal,
it is a reasonably safe proposition to
assert that when the senate takes up
the bill passed by the house the entire
press of that party will be found mr.
rayed in opposition to the measure
and for no other reason than it ia
likely to be passed under a republican
administration.

FRAUDS IN KENTUCKY.

The republicans Of Kentucky have
come to the conclusion that it is use
less to attempt the impossible. For
that reason they have decided not to
institute a contest for the governor
ship, not because they are satisfied
that Beckham was legally elected, but
because they are satisfied that to ex-
pect justice in the event they were to
make an effort to have Yerkes seated
would be as likely of realization as
an effort to reach the moon on a step
ladder. They are satisfied that a ma
jority of the votes were cast for the
republican nominee, but under the
operations of the Infamous Goebel
law the democrats committed whole-
sale frauds and declared their candi-
date elected, and will seat him. Hun
dreds upon hundreds of republican
votes were thrown out in some coun-
ties, while in others the count was
secret and the returns were falsiied SO
as to show democratic majorities. BY
this means the returns were made to
show a small plurality for the demo-
cratic ticket. The results, however,
do not discourage the republicans. On
the contrary, they see a healthful pub
lie sentiment crystalizing that will
make like frauds in the future impos-
sible and they look forward with abid-
ing faith in the power of the people to
govern themselves aud to depose the
~rascally gang that now dominates the
politics of the state. Being without
hope of receiving an impartial hearing
from any tribunal to which they might
appeal, they are content to await the
awakening of public conscience and

tation. It is for the purpose of still
better informing the masses relative
to the Importance Of the mission
undertaken by the congress that sc
much publicity will be given its pro.
ceedings.
It is to be hoped that all the dele.
gates to the congress from Montana
will find it possible to attend this
meeting. Upon the interest taken by
the people Of the states in which are
situated the lands it is sought to re-
claim depends much Of the success of
the movement in behalf of national
aid. The agitation has assumed ma
tional proportions and should be con-
tinned until the government takes
hold of the matter and gives it's aid.
The task of conserving the waters nov
annually going to waste is too great
to be undertaken by individuals. If
it is to be undertaken at all it must be
ny the government. In insisting upon
this the people Of the west will be
something they have the right
to ask. Millions of dollars Of the ma
money are expended yearly in
streams and harbors, i'm
provements that at best benefit only a
few communities, while by the ex-
penditure of like sum in the construc-
ton Of storage reservoirs the entire
nation will be benefited to the extent
opening to settlement an empire in
area.

The m that Bryan is seriously
contemplating entry into the minis

drawing card would possess equal

the same time it should not be taken
that the Herald is showing any con
triton for it's treason to the party OF
which it pretends to be an organ and
exponent It still adheres to its sim
f~ulness, and, like all culprits, attempts
to aprease It's conscience and lessen
the nature Of it's offense by calling
attention to the resultant good that
follows the evil in the commission of
which it had a share. For that reason
it pretends to be able to see that the
defeat of the republican party in this
state last week was a good thing for
the party and that as a consequence it
today is stronger than it was ever be-
fore.
The Herald may descant all it
wishes upon what it is pleased to
term "bossism'' within the party, but
it will deceive no one. The fact that
it stands convicted as an enemy to the
house that sheltered it and a traitor
to the cause it pretended to uphold has
more weight with the people than all
the nicely worded pleas in justification
of it's own treachery it may advance.
It may rave as it will about alleged
attempts of party leaders to commit
the party to the interests of the
Standard Oil company, but it's words
fall flat and receive no hearing.
Above it all stands out its own I'M
blushing attempts to deliver the party
one of it's arch enemies and make it
the vehicle on which an INSCRIPTIONS
man sought to ride into the supreme
body of the nation. The

pursued a of duplicity and de-
,eit throughout the campaign and
is shallow enough at this time
to give it credit for the good intents it
now processes actuated it when it be-
the party which it pretended
to support.
The Gazette will concede that the
Herald contributed to the defeat of
the party, not much il is probably
true, but the intent was at all times
manifest and if the results as applied in
to the Herald's efforts were
not in proportion to it's desire it was
because it had overestimated its infu-
9nce. Having done what it could to
bring about disaster to the party, the
Herald is welcome, perfectly SO, to
lerive all the consolation it may from
The pletense it now makes that the
lefeat the republicans of Montana
