capacity Mr. Irvine led Oh in a speech
Of one hour. and made strong and brill
liant address discussing the issues OF the

tanning manner. His points we're heartily
applauded, and he held the crowd from
start to finish. His speech was argu-
mentativc and convincing and did great
good This was his first appearance in
Smvlhc county and he will be invited TO
come again often At the conclusion If
his speech Colonel Faw wa, introduced,
and for one hour and half held his
audience spcllbound His oratory was
superb and his wit sparkling. Amore en-
tertaining and effective speech has not

crowd home happy. and fired with enthus-
iasm The Democrats have had great
day and the result Of the meeting will be

To grade teachers salaries according to
experience is common practice and to
some extent a reasonable one. But
the value of a teachers services ought to
increase greatly with experience, some
times the gain is very slight. The most

And how they put TO shame the utter
ances Of w. j. Bryan and Democratic
platforms about the declaration Of in
dependence and obtaining the consent
of the governed" That great instru-
ment was a delusion and a fraud as
long as human slavery existed in the
United States and when the Republican
rose in its might to destroy slavery it
was INSTRUCTED by the Democratic par
ty in front and rear. Furthermore it is
the solid south today to which Mr..
Bryan must look for votes to elect him
that governs without the consent of
the governed" Now Mr.. Bryan with
tears in his voice, is apparently greatly
alarmed lest the brown ufa of the
Philippines. who are not half as capa-
BILE of self government aS the American
negro. are not permitted To govern
themselves. But this is only an in
stance of Democratic inconsistency.

The Republican campaign in Fergus
county was opened very auspiciously
last Saturday evening. Able and in
teresting addresses We're made by Hon.
5. G. Murray, Republican candidate for
congress and Hon. W. II. smith. of
Great Falls. The large attendance and
the enthusiasm manifested augurs well
for the Republicans. The newly
trumped-up issues of the Democracy
were smashed to pieces and shown to
be the bogies and hobgoblins Of a dire
necessity on the part of the Bryanites
to supplant the repudiated issues Of SOC.
Mr.. Murray sounded the note Of danger
and warning so far as Montana is con-
cerned in this campaign in a very few
words. The great fight is TO be made
on the Legislative ticket in the interest
of W. A. Clark, and it is not hoped t.
elect members by honorable methods.
1t remains to be seen whether the state
can be further debauched by the illegal
use of money.

There is no question but the DAILY
delegations from Silver Bow. Ravali
and Meagher counties WIRE wrongfally
denied seats in the Democratic state
convention. The Clarkitcs were afraid
they would lose control and resorted TO
tire crooked tactics o their master early
in the game. Had Clark been a poor
man his following would not have been
so large by one-half. The fact that he.
he is. n millionaire and is willing
to spend his money literally in
purchasing a seat in the federal senate
drew certain kinds of Democrats, to.
him ever as a slop barrel draws flies,
The character Of some of the delegates
from this county is good evidence Of
this. They care nothing for Clark per-
s%onally or politically. They know that
his is not an engaging personality and
ordinarily they would oppose the aspir-
atoms Of a rich mar for the federal sem
ate. Bnt this is a case where a rich
man is anxious to spend money 10 n
compass his ambition. He cares moth
ing for these human vampires. In fact
he probably despises the majority of
them, hut If he can achieve his, pur-
pose through their instrumentalSty he
is willing to pay the price. This is the
magnet that accounts for a great part
of Mr.. Clark's following; not all of it.
Some men are honest and sincere in
their support out of personal regard
and because he is their party leader,
but If that Were the only motive Clark
would represent n minority in this
state. Every man who has watched
the scramble on the part of some in
this county To be at the head Of the
finance committee or to be in IA position
to get their hand in the sack. will nm
deTstand the controlling motive for
their action. 1t is doubtless 50 all over
the state. The Clark sentiment is
largely purchased and should have no
influence with men who have the honor
and welfare of the state at heart.

At the time of the Republican state
convention that yellow Clark organ,
the Helena independent. had much to
say about the Republican nominees for
attorney general and associate justice.
The Independent said Mr.. Porter could
not state a proposition in law correctly.
viii the Independent give us some of
the fine points of James Donovan, the
nominee of the mongrel convention for
attorney general? If he is Il lawyer of
even ordinary ability the fact has never
leaked out in northern Montana. lie
has visited Fergus county at various
terms of court and he has never inn
pressed anyone with his legal learning
or been associated with any ease of
special Importance. Whatever reputa-
ton he has made in Montana has been
as a Populist agitator and office seeker.
As TO Judge Milburn for associate JUS
tice he is no better qualified for the
Office than Il. Won Tobel, of this countv.
The Helena Independent should have
waited the result of its crazy quilt con-
v%ention before inviting comparison
with the men nominated. The Repub-
Leans have placed before the people OF
Montana by far the better ticket and il
should be triumphantly elected.
