Offices for the democratic party and the
second to despoil the of its
vested rights. rob 1t of it's property, close
down Its mines and mills, discharge its
employees and drive the owners out or
the state. In plain language, thai is the
purpose of the game. To assist in its
contamination the worst passions of the
people are being appealed to, paid DEM
gogue are lighting the fires of anarchy.
prosperous and contented men are being
told that they are being robbed and op-
pressed by tyrants. and the worst men
in every community are under liberal
pay to disturb public meetings. circulate
roorbacks, COLOMBO voters, train repeat
ers. instruct ballot-box suffers. tempt
election judges, n perform sundry
other functions that respectable citizens
of all parties hold in adherence. The
result of such a campaign is naturally
to disturb business, reduce property
values and alarm every patriot who
loves peace and respects the law. The
success of this desperate game would
mean the election OF men VIGOROUSLY
unfit for official responsibility. 1t would
mean legislative and judicial outrage.
1t would mean high taxes and inefficient
public service. 1t would mean the de-
bauchery of every state and local func-
tionary whom money could buy or pas
sion and ignorance nfame 1t would
mean the persecution and d"isintegration
of an institution which Is the basis of
owe one-third of the business and pros
perity of the entire state. 1t would
mean the ultimate utter destruction OF
all allied and dependent industries and
the lessening of the value of every lot
and building within a radius of 100 miles
of Butte. 1t would mean the discharge
Of $4,000 good and honest men now max
ing their living from that concern and
they are the men who would be the chief
sufferers.
The picture is not overdrawn. The
success of the fusion ticket means DESC
lation and woe to Montana. If any patri-
otto citizen of the state has any doubt of
it let him come to Butte, which is the
hot-bed of all this contemplated crime,
the central point from which all the
agencies of evil radiate, the council
chamber where all the wickedness is
hatched-let him come to Butte and in
vestigate for himself.

MoNTANA'S CoLORED VOTE.

The intelligent cclored men of Mon
ANA require no a1monition to support
the republican ticket. There is not
money enough in all the democratic BAR
rels to buy their votes away from the
republican party. All that has been done
for the black race in this country has
been lone by the republican party. All
that has been done against the black
race has been lone by the democratic
party. A great war which cost over a
million precious lives was waged to a
successful issue by the republican party
on behalf of freedom for the colored
man. The 18th amendment to the federal
constitution, which put an end to human
slavery in this country, was the work
of the republican party. If that party
to give it liberty, that should be alone
sufficient to earn for the party it's en-
during gratitude and support. But the
party has done more.
Under the present republican admin
istration 1865 colored men are in the
puDllC StINlCe, VIII uIdW HUH TIE puDliC
treasury s5,3 s ,612 per year. OF these, 49,
600 are in the army, 200 in the treasury
department, 200 in the interior depart
ment, 16S in the printing office, II in he
consular service, and many hundreds in
other branches of the government.
Many federal appointments have been
given to colored men by President Me-
Kinley. Over sixty lucrative offices,
ranging from postoffices to the position
of register of the national treasury, are
held by colored men. One is paymaster
in the army, sever are collectors of
ports, one is minister to Liberia, several
are army surgeons, a dozen are land
Office receivers and registers, a number
are foreign c%onsuls, n others are
special Indian agents, army chaplains,
revenue collectors, postal officials, etc.
When the Spanish war broke out colored
troops did valiant service and the presl-
dent promoted many of their officers.
Two new regiments OF colored infantry
We're also ordered organized. There are
colored troops in the Philippines, ordered
there by Mckinley, fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the white troops.
It may be true that a good many col
ored applicants for office have been dis
appointed, but so have a good many
white men. SO there is little difference
on that score.
But it is pertinent to inquire what has
the democratic party done for the black
man and why should any negro in Mon
tana vote the democratic ticket. There
is no more malignant enemy of the col.
ored people in the United States thar

Four years ago, in spons to a letter
from the state democratic committee
asking him to make a few speeches for
Bryan and free silver, it is openly
charged that Hon. Joseph X. Toole re-
piled stating that he could not comply
With the request because, being the at
torney of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, he did not wish to antagonize
his employers by making a free silver
speech, or words to that effect. 1t is
openly stated that Mr.. Toole sent thai
letter to Mr.. Moroney, then secretary of
the state democratic committee.
Did Mr.. Toole send that letter or not?
Did Mr.. Moroney receive it or not?
Why did not Mr.. Toole stump Montana
for Bryan in 1896?
These questions are ~courteously put to
MI. Toole, and should be courteously
answered.. Democrats themselves are
most anxious to know the truth in rela-
ton to the matter.

IN THE WRONG STATE.

Major Burke, formerly of Idaho, is
personally a delightful gentleman. He is
blithesome and debonair. He talks like
Dan'l. Webster. sings like a bird and
plays the pianola like Padereyski. That
heQrobablystarted to campaign Idaho but
took the wrong road and landed in Mon
tana may be true. That Is Idaho's loss
and our gain, yet it serves to explain the
seeming ~incongruity of some of the
majors arguments. His speech largely
abounds in Remuneration of trusts. Now,
there may be some trusts in Idaho, but
the only trust in Montana is the Ameri-
can lead trust, which has a smelter near
Helena. Aside from the cracker factory,
the Helena smelter is the mainstay of
the town. 1t has about the only pay
roll in Lewis & Ciarke county. Were it
not for the republican tariff duty OF ~
cents per pound on lead the Helena smell
ter would have to close down. If Bryan
had his way it would be closed down, be-
cause it belongs to the Lead trust. That
would throw about 300 men out of EN-
ploymentt at Helena, and probably 1000
men in the Occur d'Alenes, where the
mines which supply the smelter with
ore are located.
We submit this informationto the major
On all courtesy. If he thinks there is a
copper trust in Montana he is mistaken.
The only trust enterprise in the state
ds the EAST Helena lead smelter, and
even the Helena Independent dare say a
word against that or urge it's CLOSING
down.

WANTED-THE REASONS.

The democratic organs and orators
charge that the Amalgamated company
and it's allied concerns I'VE oppressed
the people. robbed its employees of their
sacred rights and tried to run the state
for its own benefit.
WHEN did the Amalgamated do any
or all these things? What year or month
was it? Give the times and places, in
order that the people may be informed.
and so that they ma be properly in
dignant. If the company is guilty the
voters would like to know when they
were SO wronged. They want some
specific instances. So far the charge has
the appearance of being a wanton and
ridiculous falsehood without a particle
of foundation.
HOW did the Amalgamated do any or
all these things it is accused of? Did it
take any mans property without paying
for it? Did it reduce wages or refuse
any man his rights in any instance that
can be cited? Is it not developing the
state and employing more men than ever
before IN it's history? Has it not helped
to create a demand for all the surplus
agricultural products of the state. and
helped make our farmers prosperous and
independents Is it not distributing s2O.-
600, 900 a year for labor and supplies in
Montana? How, then, has it done any
harm? Where is the proof?
WHY did the Amalgamated company
40 +tA fhinoS tha lAp,NayafS OH v~A II
with? What object could it possibly
have in injuring any man? Is 1t not in
terested in the preservation of law and
order? Is it not a strictly business en-
terprise, anxious only to earn a profit
on its investment under the protection
of the law? Why should eastern men
invest s1G0, Gee, 600 in Montana in order to
Cypress labor or deny some man his
legal rights? Does it sound reasonable
that so vast a concern is lying awake
nights trying to invent some way to in
jure the state in which it is doing busl-
ness. or rob the people of such state OF
their happiness and independence? Why
should that great company wish to an
tagonize the people?
Let the readers of the Inter Mountain
think about these things before they de-
eide how they viii vote. Let the patri-
Otto. law-abiding citizens Of Montana
take a plain, sensible view of the stu
alton. Why should they array them
selves against a corporation whose in
terests are identical with their own, and
which only asks for good government. for
justice in the courts for the protection
of the law. just as every good citizen
wants for himself?
We repeat, therefore, WHEN, WHY
and HOW did the Amalgamated cons
pany and it's allied concerns Cypress the
people, rob its employees of their sacred
rights, or try to run the state for its
own benefit? Gould anything be more
infamous than such charges? Gould
anything be more false? Could any
charge lave less evidence to back it up:
Surely the people of Montana are not
going to be stampeded by the demo-
cratic scare-crows, ~bugaboos, bogies and
hobgoblins. The A~malganlated company
is not an issue in this campaign.

If Joe Toole succeeds in closing down
the Amalgamated because it is a trust,
Butte will subside to a village of 5000
people. 1t is not a question of love for

own welfare that has suddenly startled
the labor and business and real estate
interests of Butte. The concerns that
are proposing to close the Amalganated
could not alone support a town larger
