REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS.

The Inter Mountain hopes that in the
interest of common Justice and common
decency the soldiers who went to the
war to fight for the flag of the republic
will not be overlooked in the nomination
of a state republican ticket.
AS he issue OF expansion has been
raised, the republicans being for the
democrats against it, there is additional
reason for placing on the ticket one or
more of the men h offered their lives
that American honor in the Orient might
be vindicated with all consequent bene-
fits Ito commercial and industrial inter-
ests.
Montana sen a regiment to the Phif-
ippines under the leadership of the gall
liant Kessler, and had he been willing
the republican party stood ready to ac-
cord him any political distinction he
might be induced to accept. He feels,
however, tina having volunteered and
served in two wars and being withal be-
yond the need of official emolument his
pupliS SSINlCc SuOuIu HdNC dI SIIuFulS anu
the rest of his life be spent in retire
ment.
Some other citizen of the state equally
worthy of the peoples love and conf
dence, equally Independent of undue in
f1uence and equally determined to give
the people a business-like government,
under which every mans rights shall
be secure, will he chosen as the repub-
lican party's candidate for the govern
orship. But there are many other NOM
nations within hi gift of the conven
| ton and should any Montana volunteer
possessing proper qualifications apply
for recognition it is hoped that the con-
vention will proudly and gladly give him
a place on the ticket.

A SOUTHERN PATRIOT.

- That the southern states contain some
Of the nablest of American patriots whose
actions in support of the government
are in significant contrast with those. Of
some men Of the north who are aiding
the ~country's enemies, is we'll illustrated
in the correspondence which has just
passed between Thomas G. Crenshaw,
commissioner of railroads OF Georgia,
and Secretary Of War Elihu Root. Capt.
Crenshw, the formers son, was invalid
ippines and died on the 2Sth ult. The
correspondence is most touching and is
as follows:
ATLANTA. Ga. Aug. IS.
Gen. H. c.. Corbin, Adjutant-General,
Washington, D. c.:
My beloved son, Capt. Frank G. Cren-
and having been operated On on the 10Th,

wounds received in battle in Ratangas
province, Philippine Islands, on June 5
last. He leaves a young wife and four
little children.

sacrificed their lives may never DE pulled

timonials of his %gallantry OF record III

THOMAS G. CRENSHAW."
In reply to Mr.. Crenshaw's telegram
Secretary Root sent the following mess
age:
Il beg you to believe in my deep SYM
pathy with you for the death of Your
gallant son from wounds received in ac-
ton. I remember what a noble young
American he seemed when ] saw him

life in defense of his .country's rightful

and with the entire approval Of their
consciences for the welfare of the state
and all Its people. all bitterness has
been banished and the reunion has been
made the occasion of genuine rejoicing.
This is as 1t should be. The republican
party is facing a wealthy. powerful and
desperate foe, which is in possession of
the election machinery of the state and
ready to use it regardless of the morali-
ties of politics. 1t is a foe that is lam
s,erous because it will meet no issue
fairly, trusting to Misrepresentation and
to the artful devices of the demagogue
rather than plain and truthful argument.
10 meet and conquer such a foe. har-
lnony, enthusiasm and hard work are
required in the republican ranks, and
these being now assured the prospects
of success at the polls are excellent.

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN.

Senator Knute Nelson, nice governor
of Minnesota. and ex-senator Wilson of
Washington will address the electors of
Silver Bow county tomorrow evening at
the Grand opera house. To intelligent
citizens who nave been surfeited and
sickened by petty and ill-tempered
wrangling about local scandals, per-
sonal quarrels and mining company poll
tics, a discussion of real national issues
will be vastly entertaining and in
structive.
Senator Nelson is one of the big men
of the country in point of intellect.
Though born in a foreign land, he; is a
thorough American, and is in hearty
sympathy with the patriotic policy of
the administration, which he will explain
and defend for the information of all,
regardless of political coloring. y
Ex-senator Wilson of Washington,
whose anc of reelection are said
to be excellent, is likewise a man of abil-
ity and oratorical power.
An intellectual treat is surely in store
for the people of Butte and vicinity.

have to address itself. The people OF
Montana are too intelligent to be bam-
boozled by the cry OF STANDARD OIL"
That is a cheap dodge. resorted to in the
hope that it will obscure the real issues
of the campaign and save the democratic
organs the trouble and embarrassment
of defending the national democracy or
attacking the splendid record Of the re-
publican party.
The Inter Mountain requests only one
claim that the Standard Oil men con-
troll the republican party. Let them
prove it. Let them take the people into
their confidence and tell what they know.
Let them be fair and frank, n show
that they know what they are talking
about. If their charge is true the repub-
lican party ought to be defeated. But
it is not true. 1t never will be true, 1t
is a wicked, malicious demagogue false
hood, uttered to arouse the p%rejudices of
the ignorant and drive men to the sup
port of the senseless and defenseless
policies of the democracy. The demo-
cratic organs and orators are conduct
ing a campaign of lies and abuse. They
misrepresent the republican candidates
and platform. but do not defend their
own. In this state we challenge them
to the proof of any of their charges in
denial of the republican party's entire
independence of the Standard Oil or any
other trust.
Summon the witnesses! Bring forth
the evidence! Prove your charges! Give
the particulars! Turn on the light! But
don't go through the campaign with the
poll-parrot cry of STANDARD Oil' boss
ism when there is none, when you can
prove hone and when you know the in
situation is a wanton, baseleSs, idiotic
campaign calumny! 81

THE CONVENTION.

The republican state convention of
Montana is in session.
It will be called upon first to nomi-
nate a state ticket made up of men who
will redeem Montana from the evil of
democratic misrule.
A governor. who will attend to the
states business according to business
principles, and who will be the governor
of all the people, and not of a faction Of
his own party, is what is most needed
in Montana now. - Il
a member of congress who will give
his time and talents to the performance
of his sworn duties, and not be a stranger
to the doorkeeper of the house of repre-
sentatives, a man of character, of in
dustry, of professional and personal
honor, a man who knows the needs Of
the people and will give them attention
such a man is also needed.
There is a vacancy in the supreme
court to be filled. The very best man is
non too good for the position. He must
haCi A2 lAiS Aiioi SooA
He must be fearless, independent, learned
and impartial. He must be above ,sus-
picion, above calumny, above all per-
sonal influence. Such a man will be
nominated.
The rest of the ticket must be NOM
mated with equal care.
The platform must be frank and plain
and cover every subject of interest and
Importance to the people. 1t must rep
resent the wishes and interests of the
best citizens of the state and in good
faith pledge protection to all men, all in
terests and adj sections. With such a
ticket and the right platform the re-
publican party can win.
There will be no %entangling alliances.
All will be open and above board. Ev-
erything will be straightforward and
clean and honest.
Then let the campaign fa,sifiers do
their worst!

to receive support from n power in
this state which heretofore has been
exerted IN behalf of the democracy.
That power has always been democratic,
and it is likely always to be democratic.
The rumor that it has changed it's poll
tics is a democratic rumor, started in the
democratic interest. and is based or the
hope that the republican party will make
concessions or surrender some conviction
in the hope of propitiating a faction of
the enemy. Such a course would be un-
wise. and therefore will not be adopted
by a representative republican conven-
comes all converts to it's ranks who come
for the sake of principle. it will act with
entire independence, and will aim to JUS
tify the confidence and pride of repub-
iicans rather than to offer a temporary
asylum to dissatisfied democrats, or be
led into making any advances to any
wing of the democratic party. In Mon
tana there is nothing to do with the
democracy but to denounce it, to de-
nounce all of it and to denounce it all
the time. Any offers of friendship COM
ing from the democracy should be sus-
pected. The republicans must fight
the battle for the restoration of the
states good name and for reform in the
state government Independently Of
proffered support from any democratic
because experience has shown
that however democrats may quarrel be-
fore election they vote their ticket
straight on election day. The peace"
conference held in Helena two weeks ago
was sufficient to admonish all republic
cans that whatever is to be accomplished
good government and honest methods
in Montana this year must be accom-
plished by the republican party, with the
aid of all the other moral and patriotic
influences of the state. The split in the
is very likely to be healed,
and democrats will continue to be demo-
Gratis.

protection OF the rights and privileges OF
American citizens wherever they may be.
and to confound such use. with the per-
manent planting of the flag on American
soil as an emblem Of territorial possess
sions and national sovereignty. He does
not seem to understand that the flag may
anywhere and everywhere for the
protection of American citizens. and
that 1t floats at home not only for such
protection but as an emblem of sover-
eighty. He does not seem to recognize
n difference w the migratory
and ubiquitous use of that flag to pro-
tect American rights throughout the
world. and the use Of that flag to denote
the exclusive power and jurisdiction of
the United States in every part of u
own country. In comparing the remOv-
al of the flag from foreign soil when the
purpose for which it was taken there
have been accomplished, with the
tearing down of the flag of American soil

plays ignorance of the question or a pur-
to deceive"

A FLAG

Last week he city council of Lincoln,
Neb., passed an ordinance under a mis-
apprehension of it's purport. and which
been introduced by a democratic
member who sought to compel the
taking down of some banners because
they la pictures Of Mckinley and
attached. After the trick
was discovered the ordinance was re-
scinded by the council, which happens
to be republican, and the following ring
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the council in passing
the said resolution, did not seek to pre-
vent the use of flags or campaign pic
lures, but if sue was the intent of the
introducer of said resolution, then be it
further
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
body hat the flag should be maintained
where planted, whether floating wei the
peaceful capital city, so long as belliger-
ents shall persist in h attempt to shoot
it down abroad or legislate it down at
home.
This pleasing incident has not found
it's way into the democratic papers yet,
but it goes to show that in his own town
where Bryan is best known he does not
have things his own way.

HARTE AND THE WAITRESS

Bret Harte has been so long a resi-
dent of Great Britain that the days of
his early fame, when he was a new
writer and when from time to time he
appeared on American lecture platforms,
seem very far away.
He still loves to tell anecdotes of those
early days, and among his stories is one
of the time that he lectured at the
famous New England town Of Concord.
Mass.
On the morning following his lecture
he went down into h dining-rOom of
the inn, with his mind filled with
thoughts of the men who had made the
name of Concor SO widely famous.
He looked dreamily from h window.

THE RESULT AT HELENA.

The Inter Mountain has no unkind
word for the small faction of Silver Bow
republicans who without reason or law
separated themselves from the party and
sent a contesting delegation to the state
convention. The state republican COM
mittee last night listened to their case;
which was presented by able lawyers,
and then listened to the other side,
which was presented by MI. Evans, a
lawyer, and Mr.. Mantle, who is not a
lawyer. Yet the facts were so con-
s~picuously and Enthusiastically against
the contestants that there could be but
one result-a decision in favor of the
regular delegation. Messrs. Cotter Nnd
Leonard, who personally are loyal re-
%publicans, and will so remain regardless
of the outcome of the case in which
they appear, are too bright to have an
ticipated a victory for their side, and
we trust their advice to their fellow
delegates of the minority faction will
be to return home with cheerful hearts
and get back into the party traces.
There is no occasion for a feud in the
local organization. The issues of the
campaign are too big and too important
to the whole nation to be obscured or
abandoned on account Of a petty differ
ence in a county committee. This is a
presidential year. 1t is a time when
great principles and policies hang in the
balance. Men are republicans for some-
thing besides the triumph of n fac
ton over another. They are republicans
because they do not believe in the doc
trines of the democratic party, because
they doubt it's wisdom n good faith
and believe it's success would be a calam-
ity. Therefore, we do no suppose that
the members of the defeated delegation
are coming ack to Butte to join the
democracy or to help it in secret. That
would be only a s~elf-inf1icted injury and
q qualification of their own consciences
