Condemns the Other Side.

Condemns the Other Side.
Bozeman, February 3.-The repub-
licans of Gallatin county held a meet
ing this evening in Firemen's hall
and publicly denounced the other
wing of the party known as the God
dard disgruntles. Yesterday and to-
day a number of handbills were scat
tered about town bearing names of
Mike Langohr and Nelson Story, Jr.,
chairmen of the county and city re-
publican committees, calling for a
mass meeting for this evening. The
hall was crowded to it's full capacity
and several speeches condemning the
action of Major w. w. Aldreson, Dr.
Cole and other members of the God
dard wing were made By Alderman
Morris, T. S. Kirke, e. Brook Martin
and others. The Bozeman Avant-
Courier was called traitor to the
party and it was suggested that it
ought to have been ruled out of the
party long ago, while the resolutions
passed by the republican central COM
mittee condemning the Helena Her
aid and similar papers were heartily
indorsed. On motion of P. T. Nor
ris, second by E G. Kinney, the chair
man appointed a committee of five,
as follows: Messrs. Nelson Story
Jr., P. T. Morris, w. w. Livingston,
j. H. Dawes and A. j. Walrath. The
committee drafted resolutions as fol-
lows:
ITO the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States, and to
the Hon. M. A. Hanna, chairman of
the national republican central COM
mite:
Whereas, 1t having come to the
knowledge of the regularly organized
republican county and city central
committees in Bozeman, Gallatin
county, Montana, that the statements
and representations made to you and
each of you by certain persons now
in Washington, who pretend to repre-
sent the old line republicans of the
state Of Montana, are adverse to true
republican principles and sentiments
as evidenced and supported by the
regularly organized state central COM
mittee and,
Whereas, A mass meeting of the
republicans of Gallatin county was
duly called by the central committee
of Gallatin county and the central
committee of the city of Bozeman for
the purpose of demonstrating against
the aforesaid representations; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we do hereby most
heartily indorse the resolution here
tofore passed by the state central
committee, and, furthermore, we de-
nounce the representations of those
certain persons as being entirely out
of accord with prevailing republican
sentiment in Montana, and we further
resolve that we, republicans of Gal
latin county, are in sympathy with
and heartily indorse the action of the
administration in placing the patron
age of the state in the hands of the
state central committee
The report of the committee was
unanimously adopted, not one voice
being raised on behalf of the God
dardites Or against the resolutions.
1t was also ordered that the press be
furnished with copy of the resolu-
ions.
The meeting was presided over by
E. Brook Martin and w. w. Living
ston acted as secretary.
If the mass meeting tonight is any
criterion the Goddard republicans in
Gallatin county are few and far be-
tween. Other republican county and
city central committees will probably
be asked to hold similar meetings.
