fore it ommences The chairman
concealed his chagrin as best he
could, and complimented so many Of
his distinguished fellow citizens for
having come back into the fold.
Then on a biblical proposition Of
sheep TO the right and goats to the
left, he invited all who claimed to
be democrats to stand on one side of
the hall. Everybody in the hall
withdrew to the appointed side. The
speakers ~predicament was not n
like that of Artemus Ward when
Brigham Young's nineteen widows
placed their thirty-eight lily white
pot hooks in his, and asked "NYilt
have us?" He said he didn't be-
lieve he wilt, but he came about as
near willing as he ever did in his
life. The speaker adroitly turned
the tables.
He said he was not prepared for
such an invoice of Missouri's chief
product, and that he hadn't enough
atidavits prepared for the anticipa-
tive challenged voters. l. didn't
seem to occur to him hat a hundred
electors could sign a single affidavit
if necessary and he was evidently
considering what this mob would do
to the improvised slate if they ever
got a chance. He said the form of
oath required the participating cleo
tor to be a full citizen, and it APP
peared that most of the presentees
were only about half full. He made
the unheard of ruling that everyone
voting at the primary must swear
that he has previously voted the
democratic ticket, and without wait
ing for parley declared Ithe meeting

Gentry's worlds greatest trained
animal show is without a doubt the
best show Of its kind ever seer in
this city, and the large tents which
will be located at Neihart will no
doubt be taxed to it's utmost capac-
ity to accommodate the crowds who
will want to see the talented little
animals display their various accom-
plishments, of which they are we'll
supplied. The Gentry show will be
well worth attending, and all the
ladies and children should not fail to
take advantage of the opportunity
to see these wonderful animals; ele
plants, ponies, monkeys and dogs,
by the hundred, who do everything
except talk, and it is said come very
near doing that at times. See little

this week by a tornado, the like of
which has not struck camp since the

democratic funeral procession, which

IT'S THE PEOPLE FIGHT.

Greater than any man, greater than
any mars ambition, greater than any
mans o~ffenses, greater than any mans
vices or grievances OF revenges greater
than any party's desire for office is the
question of Montana's prosperity, the
employment Of its people, the security
of it's property, the encouragement of its
development, the redemption Of it's good
name.
The republican party's appeal is to
the w~orkingmen, the business men, the
farmers, the taxpayers. the progressive,
law-abiding citizens Of all classes. :
1t appeals to the good sense, not the
passions Of voters. It strives to promote
the interests of all, not of a few litigants.
or a few bosses with a grievance or a
e as their stock in trade.
The republican party appeals to the
public conscience, not to the public
prejudices. 3
Neither faction Of the democratic party
is worthy of trust. Together they have
almost ruined Montana, and would now
complete the work.
Now is the time to clean them both

believed In his good faith-what of
them? Are they going to be handed
over to Joe Toole and the fusion con.
spiracy to ruin the material interests OF
Montana?
Can Mr.. Ferguson, by weakly surren-
idering to the fusion argument in regard
to the issues of finance, Imperialism and
the trusts. induce the sturdy and intelli-
gent laborers who belonged to his party
to follow him into the fusion sink-hole
of political iniquity?
The only regret the Inter Mountain
has in the matter is tina the action Of
the once chosen and trusted leader of
the b party may jeopardize the sue
cess Of Mr.. Folsom by increasing the
chances of Thomas Hogan, for of course
every vote that Ferguson would have
received will naturally so to Hogan and
wall not be delivered to Toole like a
piece of merchandise.
Republicans. therefore, must redouble
their exertions. They must rally around
.Montana's grand old man. He is as
good a friend Of labor as Hogan, he il
a better friend of labor thar Toole, and
is better qualified in all other respects to
be governor than either of them.

THE ATTACK ON FOLSOM.

The democratic attack on the labor
record of David E. Folsom has proved a
terrible boomerang. The complete refu-
tation Of the atrocious libel sas knocked
the democratic press into a condition of
speeches. CONSERVATION. The Miner does
not even assert it's own belief in the
the letter of Mr.. Len Lewis, owner OF the
property in question, or the afidavits of
the miners working there at the time,
who completely exonorated Mr.. Folsom,
or the emphatic denial Of Mr.. Folsom
himself, printed in the Inter Mountain of
yesterday. One more attack of thu same
kin on the republican candidate will
make his plurality 10000.

and the rest. and realize how perfectly
imbecile is the charge that they u their
associates on the ticket or the owen
ton which nominated them are in n
way identified with the Amalgamated
company! The a%bsurdity of the charge
assert that it is opposed to an eight-hour
law, and in the same breath assert that
the republican county convention. which
was first to declare for an eight-hour
law on the insistent suggestion of Mr..
MantleSand his friends. that the conven-
ton was controlled by the Amalgamated
company. The absurdity of the charge
is manifest on its face. The republican
party, speaking for itself alone. de-
tana legislature as a matter Of legal
right not as a matter of political eX>
~pediency or charity. and it's position was
confirmed in the state republican con
vention at Helena.
These are the facts, and we challenge
successful disproof of any one of them.
Democratic yarns to the contrary are
put out to deceive, discourage and mis-
represent republicans. because they are
on the home-stretch. with a clear lead
over all competitors.
