no longer be black spot on the national
shirt front. The influences of a restored
civilization and a newly cleaned pohti-
cal conscience will assert itself. and the
state which the republican party mas
made prosperous and wealthy Will IN
common gratitude swing into the repub-
lican column. The feud which has
caused our citizens to place the per-
sonal issue above the political issue will
no longer have that effect. nor will it
longer justify the expenditure of the
vast sums of money which have de-
bauched the state. Thus will the right
triumph. for when men vote for issues
in Montana, and only good men find an
incentive to vote at all, they Will vote
for protection. for expansion. for the
party that stands for the flag of the re-
public and what it represents. Then
will the republican party of Montana
come into power, then Will its policies
be carried out, then will its candidates
stand a show to win on their merits.
then will justice and the right and the
law achieve their deserved triumph. In
the meantime. let us all rejoice over the
great national victory. 1t was famous
vindicavion of the national honor and the
national good sense. 1t means prosper
ity for 100000 people. 1t means pros
perity even for Montana and it's pro-
tected industries. 1t means that the
menace of democratic government has
been removed for the next quarter of a

SAVED THE SHIP OLGA.

San Francisco, Nov. 10.-Captain Des-
novitch of the Austrian steamer Olga,
attributes the stranding Of his vessel on
the Ocean Beach, from which she was
hauled by tugs, to the abs>nne of Golden
Gate lightshlp. which is now in port
undergoing repairs. Senator Perkins has
wired to the authorities at Washington,
urging that suitable substitute for the
lightship be placed at it's usual station
The salvage on the Olga. it is esti-
mated, will amount to nearly $4,000. The
cargo of 4,2O0 tons of sugar. is valued
at $310.C00. The steamer is worth over
100000. The vessel is leaking in three OF

The Inter Mountains statement that

taxpayers, and particularly Of the bust
ness men. We DO not believe they vot-
ed against their own business interests,
and @ not think they are chargeable
with the result. If the fusion platform

On behalf of the business men we
deny that ~they voted to close down a

voted the fusion ticket it was because
they did not believe the fusion party
would carry out its own pledges as to
trusts, or else because of the eight-hour
issue, Mr.. Clark introduced. The
| Standard s queries as to the taxpayers
vote, therefore, are easily answered The
! fusion majority was made up Of four
kinds of voters: First, those who support

mostly good men. Second, those who sup

ons growing out of the democratic feud

Fourth, those who sold their votes fol

portions of these four classes of ,fusiol
voters. but it utterly repudiates the sug

THAT RATIFICATION.

1T is said that the fusion forces are
to hold a big ratification meeting in
Butte tonight. 1t is quite possible by
resort to the usual methods. some enc
thusiasm may be excited. but as far as
the people of Montana are concerned. it
may be said there is nothing in the re-
suit of the election that appeals to their
pride. or justities any extravagance OF
delight The fusion battle was not won
on it's merits, because it resulted in a
triumph over the forces that stood for
the protection of personal and property
rights. 1t was not a political victory for

distinctly opposing and hostile parties,
and represented nothing but complete
abandonment. of principle. 1t was not
vindication Of democratic doctrines, De-
cause the paramount issue of the na-
tional campaign, imperialism" was not
mentioned in the Helena platform.
nor was any attemrt made to win the
fight on party tenets. 1t was not vic
tory for the material interests Of Mon
tana, for the fight was based on denun-
citation and misrepresentation of great
mining company that pays out s20.O0o.-
900 year in Montana and gives
work and wages to 10000 good men. That
company was in effect informed that it
was an unwelcome intruder, if the plat
form and candidates told the truth.
The result of the struggle was a notice
to capital to keep out of Montana, but
inasmuch as am intelligent and law
abiding public opinion is likely to re-
assert itself and the passions of men
may cool, now that the barrel is closed
and the demagogues have gone Whence
they came, we have hopes that the
fusion party will hesitate and finally de-
eide not to carry out its threats against
either capital or labor in Montana. How
ever let the successful candidates re-
joice. The republicans bear them no il
will. But let the rejoicing be on accoun
of the success achieved, not on accoun
of the principles which the result es
tablished and indorsed.

HANNA THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.


In South Dakota Senator Hanna was.

mount ISSUE" Senator Pettigrew had
made his entire campaign for reelection
with personal abuse of Senator Hanna.
and the residents of South Dakota had
heard more about him than any other
public man. What kind of a person they
expected to see could be surmised, and it
gave Senator Hanna unbounded delight
to- take his hat off before his audiences
and give them visual proof that he did
not wear horns. 1t was on this trip, at
Lincoln, Neb.. that Hanna made his
celebrated attack on Bryan, denouncing
him as falsifier and demagogue and
| saying he wished to tell what he thought
of the democratic candidate before his
own neighbors and in his own home.
Incidental to the latter part Of the
campaign came expressions in favor Of
Mckinley from several leading demo-

HANNA ON THE STUMP.

In the meantime Senator Hanna had
developed speechmaker in the west.
At the solicitation of Harry New mem-
ber of the national committee from In
diana, he went down to the little town of
Delphia, that state one afternoon in Sep
tember and drew the largest crowd that
congressional district had ever known.
He ascrbed it to the curiosity of the peo-
pie to see him, but the fact remained that
he received most careful attention from
his auditors and whatever he had to say
was listened to. 1t developed that he was
probably the most effective speaker of
the campaign, being able not only to
draw crowds but to hold them, and from
then on there was a constant demand
for his services on the stump

This campaign really has been going
on for four years. Not only has it been
known who the cAlfdidates would be,
but Mr.. Mckinley, as president, and Mr..
Bryan, as his probable opponent the
next time, have been constantly before
the public. After everything was said

The presidential campaign, which cui-
minated in the election Tuesday, was
begun practically almost Immediately
after the election of Mckinley and Ho-
bart in 1896. Technically it's beginning
was after the two political parties had
nominated their candidates and fornu-
lated their platforms in their national
conventions in June and July, but, as a
matter of fact, it had been assured for
four years that Mckinley and Bryan
would be the nominees. Even the issues
on which they Were to run had been
pretty plainly marked out.
1t is true that Bryan tried to confuse
these issues by bringing forward new
ones and styling them paramount" but
in The main the contest was fought out
on the lines which already held the
pubic attention.

than he at once went into training for
