DISREPUTAbLE METHODS
OF FUSION DEMOCRACY.
PROPOSALS MADE TO W. R. YOUNG, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
-444-- FOR SHERIFF, TO WITHDRAW INDIGNANTLY 49,
~ Iii AnAAM~4As1k j SPURNED. 4

His name is Young-w. r. Young-and
he is the republican candidate for sher-
iff Of Silver Bow. T,haa is sufficient to
Identify him.
Now. this same man, Young, seems
for some reason or other to be a greater
stumbling block in the pathway of the
fusfonists than Hogan, the Independent
democratic candidate for governor.
They have circulated rumor after ru-
NOR that Young was going TO withdraw,
that he was going to be pulled down"
and that he was going to do almost
everything ever ATTEMPTED in the polit-
ioal realm.
He hasn't withdrawn: he hasn't been
pulled down." The fusionists saw these
things-fusionists can really see, though
they sometimes shut their eyes and leap
blindly-so they concluded they would
have to try a new tack.
They have now tried a new tack-they
have ~endeavored to buy Mr.. Young to
withdraw from the race.
However, they struck one bad snag and
their coin barge sunk in midstream-Mr.
Young happened to be an honest man.
This is not hard to explain, because he
ha-pens also to tie republican and not
a fusionist.
1t would have been better to say they
bumped into two honest men. Not hav-
ing the nerve to approach the candidate
himself, they sent an emissary to see one
Of Mr.. Young's friends to see if by the
judicious use of the ''long green he could
not persuade the candidate to withdraw
from the race.
There they made a mistake, also-the
friend was a republican and naturally an
honest So the offer was indignant
ly spurned.
All, these things occurred yesterday and
the full facts are in the possession of
the county central committee.
Failing in their disreputable methods
of attempted bribery, the %fusionists have
gone back to their first owe and are now
engaged in circulating more stories to
the effect that Young is Coming down.
To the lay reader, this may serve as an
explanation of the inside reasons why
the Miner is giving so much. publicity
of late to these "come down. tales. A
word to the wise is sufficient, and it
would be unjust to characterize a man
as a fool simply because he is a fusion
ist-there may be a method in his mad
ness.
It is stated IN the authority of the
county central committee that certain
agents of the f~usionists, and particularly
Sam McMurrin, an ernploye of the M. O.
p. Co., are industriously engaged in
circulating d~erogatory reports relative

THE COPPER STOCKS.

E.. S. Booth, who has been visiting in
eastern. Montana fer several weeks, re-
turned home yesterday. He speaks en-
c~ouragingly of the prospects of republic
can success in the state. The eastern
section of the state has been benefited
greatly by the wise administration OF
President Mckinley, and the voters there
cannot be induced to swallow any DEM
ocratie bait this year. q
.~rhe population of eastern Montana
has been augmented by at least 5000
soul during the past four years." said
Mr.. Booth, land nearly all of the new
corners will vote the republican ticket.
When the votes of Montana are counted
some of the democratic prophets who
are figuring on Bryan carrying the state
will be a~stounded.
"There ,xill be about 60. 900 votes cast in
Montana next month. The republicans
will get about %. 1000, the independent
democrats and f~usionists will break even

threat of reduced wages. Between these
two the republican party has offered a
legal remedy, one that will be constitu-
tional, n one that they will carry out.
The democrats say, why don't the re-
puplicans give us an eight hour law?'
we have not power. The republican
party employs no men. Why don't they
give it themselves when they are in con-
troll of the state?"' He brought up the
unsafy9ry records of both the democrats
and %populists in the legislature of 1894,
when almost without exception they
voted against the 8 hour labor day law
proposed by the republicans.
One Of the best hits of the evening was
the arrangement of the anti-imperialist
bugaboo. We inherited the germs of
ne war with Spain from early
days; not as republicans, or as demo-
cPats, but as Americans; and it could
not but break out after the blowing up
of'the Maine. The Philippine wal is the
natural outgrowth of that war, and
could not have been averted. In our
treaty of peace. we guaranteed to the
world the safety of the worlds COM
merce in the islands. We could not
avert carrying out the promises. At least
none but democrats would favor repu-
diation of an international treaty. He
paid a glowing tribute to the soldiers.
VINO, almost without exception, favor
noIolng the land they struggled to save
against itself, and was applauded to the
echo at the close of the speech.
H.. r. Cunningham, who represented
the Butte constituency as the kid
member of the legislature in 1894, was
the next speaker, n gave some telling
shots along the national campaign line.
He spoke of the full dinner pail' argu-
ment, and said that no party a ever
dared put forth such'a campaign en-
blem without having. as the republican
party has, the power tn ha"'- - " ~
argument. Apropos of the "Irishman's''
story about the one 1uIl ulnuel' pa. -or
two men,, he told another good one about
another Irsihman who gazed up at the
great sign down on Broadway, on his
way from work. WELL" said Pat, me
pail is empty now, for I nave eaten my
dinner; but I've got $3.50 acoming and"
here he paused acknowledgement if
it was a full pail between two it is a
domned sight better than an empty pail
for one" Mr.. Cunningham, with the
fighting courage of his convictions,
charged that Bryan, with his
VI thC AlplAO 1SOCIIlou was llys
ing to walk into Office through the blood
of brave Americans. 1t was easy for a
new candidate to go into a campaign
with an arsenal of attack, personal and
otherwise, against which one in the
position of President Mckinley had no
defense ave in his record for the past.
Mr.. Cunningham acknowledged that he
had gone wrong four years ago, on the
silver question:, but was back now to
serve in the best poplitical party in the
country.

for clerk n recorder, also spoke for a
moment, making a verp good impress
sion.

Jail awaiting trial Prompt Justice comes
only through good local government.
The republican party is the only way
through which such good. government
can be obtained, and the election Of that
ticket is the only way to keep the rascals
out"
Ed S. Booth was the next speaker pre-
scented by Chairman Marsland, and he
made one of his finest, most telling
heart to heart talks. He disclaims the
title of orator, but no oratory gets better
applause han his abrupt, short SEN
fences. If he says, as he did say in re-
plying to the ghostly rumor about an
English alliance, that II favor an open
alliance with them as our best friends"
that is no pyrotechnical display that
hides the statement and a good reason
for the belief follows. Mr.. Booth made
the hit of the evening.
The speaker began with a verytaking. re-
view of the history of the country dur
ing the century, most of it under repub-
lican rule, and likened the business of the
country to that of a firm in which cleo
ton OF officers could have no better 'cri-
terion for the future thar it's record of
the officers in the past. AS manager for
the past four years, Mckinley has shown
WOluCILul Capacity dIu liz CouulIy has
prospered; why rush off into wild cat
promises of a new set of men whose rec
ord, when they have ever achieved their
success, has been only a ~lamentable fail
ure. He reviewed the doleful prophecies
of the calamity howlers of four years
ago-how labor would become pau
perized, business %stagnated, interest
high and mortgages many, if Mckinley
were elected n Shove their ludicrous
falsity in every particular. He took up
Bryan's frank statement at that time,
that the gold standard would be a good
thing If we were a creditor nation, and
applied it to the present by showing that
we are just that kind under republican
rule; turning Mr.. Bryan's chief weapon
for cheap money and national dishonor
against himself.
He gave a sharp a~rraignment of the
democracy of the state for its shameful
plumber of the state, in the way of dis
posing of the public domain, through
leases of water n range rights to cat
tlemen. Thu shutting up vast tracts
of land from settlement. In 1894, the
cattlemen wanted the privileges they Sc
cured in 1897, under democratic rule, but
a republican legislature defeated the
measure, and will do it again when they
come into power this year.
The disgraceful fights between the two
factions of the democracy came in for a
thorough roast. If they say of each
other be true-and most honest men be-
lieve every word that each says of the
~other-why not let them fight it out like
Kilkenny cats and do the only thing pos
sible to escape their clutches by voting
the republican ticket.
AS a lawyer, Mr.. Booth gave partieu-
lar attention to the platforms of the
lation along the line of shorter hours for
labor. The regular democratic platform
ha introduced class legislation, n built
up a platform that they kno is uncon-
stitutional as it has been tried in Colo
lado. Utah n other places. The in
dependents ave taken the other tack
and with the platform added the covert

KINDNESS REPAID.

Ladies Of Episcopal Church.

Manager J. r. Wharton of the local
street railway line received six boxes of
cigars, one box of cigarettes n a box
of STANDARD Babies today from the la
dies who AVE been conducting the Epis-
copal bazaar, in graceful acknowledge
ment of the favors received from the

on last Thursday. Accompanying the
gift was the following note:
"Mr. Wharton, o will. please give
the cigars to the conductors and motor
men with compliments of the lady con-
ductors.-Ladies of the Cigar Booth"
This is very nice thing for the ladies
to d." said the genial street railway
manager. Il know the men will thor
ouehly appreciate their kindness. Every

R0US|NC RALLY At VAUDEVILLE

The second republican meeting at
Walkerville, which was held last night
in Social hall, was a flattering tribute to
the growth Of republican doctrine sem
timent in that thriving community. The
hall was we'll filled with as enthusiastic
an audience as any one could wish; they
gave the hand" to every telling point
and there were maryland listened
throughout to the stirring arguments
presented. If there is one thing that dis
tinguishes the people of Walkerville
above another it is their intense patriot
ism, and the speakers, who are strong
in their sturdy Americanism were fairly
drowned out i'm the applause following
some of their clear-cut references to the
democratic policy of scuttling the ship
of state, and leaving the soldiers in the
Philippines and China to swim home or
drown.
Walkerville contributed some brave
boys ito the pride of the state, the Mon
tana regiment, n their patriotism is
contagious. However, it is not along
that line alone that the people are
thoughtful, and on state and county
issues their approval of the republican
stand was not less manifest. If the next
meeting, a week from last night, shows
anywhere near the same percentage of
awakening, as a been shown in the
past week, the meeting will take up the
whole street, and by election time there
will not be a democrat left within long
gunshot of the town.
The Alice band furnished some fine
music to open the. meeting, after which
Chairman Marsland introduced C.. F.
Kohl, candidate for county attorney, as
the first speaker. Mr.. Kohl gave a brier
synopsis of national affairs, with a good
comparison between the financial and
social conditions during the closing years
of Cleveland's administration and the
same period under Mckinley. He then
started on state affairs, and showed up
democratic misrule, high taxation and
political immortality, and the effect that
it has had and must continue to have
on the investment of foreign capital
needed to develop the state. The repub-
lican party, he said, was pledged to re-
duce taxation and redeem the state from
the pit of infamy into which it had been
plunged, and made it's state campaign
on that issue.
AS was natural, the speaker came last
to local issues, those of Silver Bow
county, and paid a good tribute to the
various candidates put forth by the re-
%publicans. In a very modest way, but
one h all who know him know to be
decided and steadfast, he presented his
own candidacy by defining his position
along lines that ave been sadly abused
by others in that official position in the
past.
"I shall do my duty, not as a politi-
clan, but as a IA man Or woman,
democrat or %popuiist. whoever comes to
me in the name of the law, shall re-
ceive justice. Instead of roaming over
the state, hunting new cases or political
preferment, I win be found in my ofica
to do the will of h people. If the laws
are violated, II a suspect is brought In,
there will be no more holding for weeks
or months without trial. 1t is my duty
