The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1901-06-25
Is Mr.. Montague a spoilsmanl

Extracts from stanton News.)
There is no denying that il begins to
look very much as if Mr.. Montague IL
going to be the next governor of Nir
ginia. 1t is, too plainly to be concealed,
an attempt ON their (the people's) part
to throw off the oligarchy of office
brokers who are popularity supposed to
he parceling ont the offices in the state
among favOrites. The appeal met a
ready response. and so soon as the
campaign began to warm up, it was
seen that not one of the Senators or
Congressman who were backing Swan
son could exercise the slightest influence
in his behalf
We say this feeling on the part OF the
people il creditable to them, whether the
object of their affections is a mud god or
the man of high ideals they take him to
be. They are smashing system they
know to be bad. and if in doing so they
are deceived by a gold brick man, i they
find they are real f"e~nrshipira 9 mud
90d. they can turn eess.e6nd again and in
a short time break this idol to pieces
also.
As to Mr. Montague, we confess our
selves at sea. lie has, next 10 our own
man, (EchOls) had our sympathies. and
we trust it may turn ont happily for
the people of the State should they elect
him Governor We hope that he is not
the spokesman he has so sharply CON
demned in Martin and Swanson and the
others. We hope he is standing on merit
wholly. that he is making no trades and
will make none, and that should he be
made Governor he will give a clean ad
ministration that has but one ideal, TO
give the people the very best service
regardless of the fortunes of indivi-
duals.
The evidence however, seems clear
that TO be appointed district attorney
under Cleveland in 1898, he did make a
trade with the congressman; and that to
be nominated at Roanoke for Attorney
General he made another trade with the
Seventh district which gave him the votes
of that district and hence the nomination
over +. r. Lassiter OF Petersburg. 1t is
possible that he has repented of these
things and that he now glands on higher
ground and has lOftier ideals.
Personally the News cares nothing for
individuals in such matters, and has no
likes and dislikes. If Montague is no
better man than Swanson, we see no
reason to hurrah for him. Swanson is
frankly a spokesman; if Montague if q
spokesman he is concealing the TACT, and
in such case would be a worse man than
Swanson.

THE WAY OF POLITICS.

Political contention and discOrd
seem To be rife in the land. Not only
is Virginia in the thrOeS of a heated
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, where friend
is arrayed against friend and kin at
political warfare with kin, but trouble
is said to be brewing among the Ohio
Republicans, and the Indications are
that the friendly relations between
Hanna and Foraker will be broken.
Every intelligent reader knows OF the
dove-like relations that have existed
between these two notables foryears,
and any breach between them will be
sad news for the Republicans every
where.
1t is feared among the Republicans
that trouble will certainly grow out
of the fact that Mr.. Foraker is SO pre-
sumptuous as to have his eve fixed on
the Presidential chair. ltmay be one
of his characteristic Roman candle
performances, and hemay early retire
from the field; but the knowing Re
publicans apprehend a persistent
course of action on his part, in which
event trouble will ensue.
The leaders assert that he has not
been in close touch with President
Mckinley for a number of years, and
that because of his enmity towards
the Administration he would not be
an available candidate for the Presi-
r dency in 1904, and unless his ambi-
ton should be curbed Republican
success in the next national election
would be ieopardized.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Hanna ;
highest ambition is to he elected
President in 1904. and should Mr..
Foraker persist in putting himself in
Mr.. Hanna's way i'll feelings between
them will naturally follow. More
should Mr.. Hanna fail in securing the
Presidential nomination in 1904 his
next object will be, it is said, to elect
such President as will enable him to
remain in control of the Administra-
ton, thus making certain his re-elec-
ton to the L. 5. Senate. The election
of Mr. Foraker to the Presidency
would be disastrous to Mr.. Hanna :
ambition in both WAYS.
This is not all thaT Is OminOus of
trouble in the Republican ranks in
the Buckeye State. Mr.. MckissOn,
who fought Mr. Hanna in 1898, is
reported as being again inclined to
add to Mr.. Hanna's troubles by war
ring against his future political aspi-
ratiOns. and it is hard To forecast
what the outcome may be-
Mr.. Hanna has been of incalculable
value to his party, and while there are
some in Ohio who do not like him it is
hard to conceive how any loyal Re
publican could throw cold water upon
his ambition to become President
We are not speaking OF Mr.. Hanna's
fitness for the high office, but OF his
valuable services to his party. We
shall watch the wrangle with an eye
of interest and keep our readers
posted.

In THEIR jubilatiOn over Mr.. Mon
tague's good fortune his friends are
letting it exc out that they mean to
make a fight for State, city and
county offices. 1t is the same old cry
OF spoils to the victor; and since
many of his friends are of the lean
kind, long fasting in sight OF but out
side the crib, we may look for a fam
ished onslaught upon the fiesh-pots
when his followers come into their
own-such as politicians usually re-
gard the public plums.

CHICAGO, May S,-Wheat was firm ear

local investment buying and shorts cover

as Indifferent Liverpool cables, ls to 3sd
higher, favorable weekly Government re-

a sharp reaction, with the market fin

Corn was duh but firm. The bull in
