Jissoula, Oct. 24.-Missoula has had

eizes, but never before during the pres
rlt campaign has it had Gnything like
that of last night, when 1t seemed as
though not only all lMissoula turned out
10 hear Senators Carter and Mantle, but
a good portion of other near by towns
must have furnished delegations to swell
the crowd. Long before the speaking
began many people had to be turned
away from Bennett hall, because there
was no room for them, much to the mu-
tual regret of the people and the man
agement.
BY request of Chairman winstanley,
Will Murray presided. and introduced
the first speaker as "Our Only Senator
Thomas H. Carter" who was greeted
with rousing welcome. Without vast
ing any time, Senator Carter took up the
national issues and drew vivid picture
of the conditions when he met with the
people four years ago; the country in
darkness and gloom, not confined only to
the city of Missoula or the state of Mon
tana, but spread out over the entire
country. Contrasting that period of dis
bankrupt merchants had all floated down
the Cream. banks had resumed and in
creased their former business, railroads
had emerged from under receiverships,

busy trains new crews have been added,

nations history and cited disasters con-
nected with the democratic administra-
tions since Buchanan. "A burnt child,'
he said, 'dreads the fire. Older genera
tions know the consequences, but each
generation must learn anew. So when

be passed before the saluting battery Of

MANTLE's STIRRING WORDS.

MANTLE . ollhtSlN0 " OTbo.
Ex-senator Mantle was next intro
duced. He referred to himself as one
Of those who wandered from the fold
four years ago and went with the free
silver republicans.
II can say" he added, II am glad in
deed that differences which separated us
then have disappeared, and we find breth-
rem once more working side by side to
support the paramount issue-the MAIN
tenance of the national flag. Four years
ago we were divided by principles that
We're honestly held by both, and though
we separated with regrets, it was with
hope that the time would come when
we would be united. The time has come
when the silver question is no longer
the paramount issue, and the democratic
papers fill their columns with facts and
figures to prove that should the demo-
cratic party be successful, the senate will
be republican, and no harm can follow"
He cited the absence from the demo-
cratic platform of any declara tion MAIN
tanning the legal tender quality of silver
If coined at the ratio of 16 to 1, and re-
ferred to the changed conditions during
the past four years, within which Japan,
Russia, India and South American states,
as well as the United States, have adopt
ed the gold standard. The increase in
the worlds gold production is remark
able. In 1897 it was $212 OOO 900, in 1898
S7,OOO,OOO. in 1899 it had grown to $351,- :
100000, and but for the South African
war would this year have reached $780,
100000. He predicted that never again
would the silver question be of such i'm
portance as to divide the American peo-
pie, and no free silver republican need
feel disturbed because of being no longer
used as thankless cats paw to pull
offices for democrats out of the election
fire.
His patriotic utterances were loudly
arplauded when he said, "I would prefer
my flag to the cause of silver. No party
ever Won campaign based upon the
hauling down of the flag, and no party
ever WILL"
Senator Mantle devoted short time to
state matters, referring to the Anaconda
Standard and the Butte Miner as wit
nesses to the frailities of the opposing
democratic factions, and advised a full
belief in all charges against each other.
