MONTANA REPUBLICANS.

The Inter Mountain voices the senti-
ment of the city of Butte when 1t ex-
presses pleasure at the presence of the
representative republicans of the state
today. AT the present writing these
gentlemen are making history for the
treasure state, in convention assembled,
and their deliberations bid fair to lay
broad and deep the foundations for vic
tory in the great political contests of
the year. If wisdom prevails in the
councils of the party, and personal am
billions are subordinated to the common
good, the redemption of the state is as
sure as the sunrise, and the fate of a
discordant democracy will be sealed.
Though the work of today's conven-
ton is officially confined to presidential
affairs, it's impress will be left upon the
activities yet to come. It's speeches n
it's PLATFORM, and the trend of thought
which dominates it's councils, will effect
in no small degree the future course of
party dtllOl III Sldle dlldlIS. Lie IIdI-
acter and standing and patriotic pur-
poses of the vast majority in the repub-
lican c~onvocation today would seem to
indicate a course of procedure along all
lines consistent with harmony and the
best interests of the party and the state.
No political organization can be wholly
free from disrord nt elements which
seek to rule or ruin, and which lave spec
ial purposes to serve at the expense of the
party to which they belong. Conditions
in Montana are especially favorable to
feverish groWths of this type upon tha
body polite, for moneyed men in the
democracy have political interests to
serve through republican avenues. Bust
ness interests of great magnitude, oper-
ated and engineered by democrats, con-
troll the machinery of that party and seek
to insinuate themselves into the protect
ing care of the republican organization as
we'll. Purely political ambitions of a
democratic character also knock at the
walls of republicanism for favors they
have no right to claim.
To hold aloof in purpose and in spirit
from contact with political influences not
pertinent to party success is the better
part of wisdom. If the mingled thought of
republieanism today would crystalline
into definite results for the party's good
the high aims and objects of the organi-
cation must be kept in mind. The mission
of the republican party is to redeem Mon
TAM from the curse of democracy, cleanse
its drapery from the filth and folly of 2
reckless reign of SANDER and disrepute
and lift the escutcheon of the state
above the polluting hand of corporal,
robbery and the tyranny of bilks ant
bosses and the hungry school of fshe
hat follow in their wake.
Upon the republican party must rest tn,
duty of retaining the good name of tn,
state, protecting its treasury and tn,
character of it's courts, and proving to tn,
world the Independent nature of its yeo

the philosophical spirit of a gentleman
who is ''onto his job" ii
1t is equally the duty of the Standard,
as the official representative of that ele-
ment, to bow it's head to the inevitable,
or criticise alone where criticism is due.
Does it not realize that in asserting
that the friendly action of Mr.. Spriggs
was the outcome of a diabolical and cor
rupt job, fathered by the Clark men, it
is placing Governor Smith in a suspi-
cious light as a possible beneficiary Of
the scheme?
Does it not know that the diabolical
Job could not have been carried to a sue
| cessful conclusion unless the governor
| found a convenient pretext to get out
of the state at the right time?
Does it not fear that the prayers and
protests, the redundant adjectives and
the sizzling verbs, and the threshing of
the non-resistant air by his excellency-
after the deed has been done-ma place
that distinguished gentleman before the
public in the same light in which the
queen appeared to Hamlet, when he said:
"She doth protest too much?"
Is not the Standard making a grave
mistake in jumping at conclusions as to
how public opinion "sizes up the situa-
ton as it stands today?

Faster and faster came the great man

Till the telegraph poles looked like a

And the speed increased as he covered

And shoveled coal and prayed to Cod
With Smith 500 miles away.
To reach the state was the chieftain's
aim,
Before old Spriggs had finished his game.
The throttle was thrown to it's widest
gear
For Governor Bob vas bereft of fear
With Smith 100 miles away.
A smile of joy in the chieftain's eye
token the hope that home was nigh;
And he filled the cab with joyful jigs
AS he thought of the fun of s~quashing
Spriggs-
With Smith but so miles away.
A few more turns of the mighty wheels,
And Bob is landed where he keenly feels
That the cushioned seat in the chair of
state .
Is filled by greatness much too late
With Smith at home.
And now Bob knows that fame is thin,
And his hopes are buried with 1.-THE
might have been"
For in the toss of Fate he lost the day
And cashed his checks in a hopeless
fray
With Smith 1000 miles away.

Shows improvement and Com
pIete Recovery is Hoped.
Recent Alleged Statement Of DR..
Robinson Without Foundation.
NOT IN Boston. Did Not Make Il and II Would
Not Be True II Made.

Bangor, Me, Dec 3l-A letter has
been received from the physicians who
are treating Congressman Boutelle
stating that his symptoms already
show improvement and therefore there
Is strong hope of his complete recovery
in the near future.
A dispatch sent out by The Associat
ed Press from Boston, Friday night,
10 the effect that DR.. ID. A. Robinson.
the family physician in this city. had
stated that while Congressman Rou-
telle might recover his physical health
and vigor it is possible that he NAV
never De the same again mentally, was
absolutely incorrect. DR.. Robinson
made no such statement and more
than that he was not in Boston at the
time he was reported to have discussed
Mr. Boutelle's condition. The state
ment was entirely the work of imagin-
atlon on the part of some one and has
caused much distress among the
friends of the congressman
On the contrary, DR.. Robinson has
repeatedly expressed his belief in the
ultimate and permanent recovery of
Congressman Boutelle. There is no
foundation and no excuse for the SEN
sational statements that have been
made concerning Mr.. Boutelle's condi-
ton, as his friends have issued a daily
statement based on information re-
ceived from the attending physicians.
