A'oPG Ik THE MANOER. $ . e na correspondent of the naLpfO dt standard is to be believqd, the republican members of the legisla tire, or 'most of them, at least, will vote fr SiH . . C. Marshall for sena .or frpam, r t -to last, provided the in fluenoe of a dog-in-the-manger republi 'ahn of ,Helena does not prevail. This influene 'is being exerted, the Standard toss, ho ionduce the republicans to vote .r Ilark for senator, notwithstanding tdit every epniblican who does so will g.erand~d as a bribe-taker and forever ixed in Montana. This is nice bpsipesa fora prominent republican of this state to be engaged in, but it is in line with the action of some members of the party in the last campaign in knifing the republican ticket and mak lz g demooratic success possible. Jeal ousy of Senator Carter's leadership prompted them to do it, no' doubt, and now these same ,men are trying to make it appear that that gentleman is'work il.g to make republican members of the legislature prostitute themselves. But the Standard, we are glad to see, gives Senator Carter credit for being honest in his efforts to induce the re publican members to vote for Mr. Mar . shall. He is the caucus nominee of his party and, as The Gazette has before expressed itself, has fairly won the honor of their support by sacrificing himself in the last campaign and poll ing five thousand more votes in the state than were cast for President Mc Kinley two years ago, despite the effort of certain republicans to weaken the candidacy of the man whom they helped to name. The republican mem bers of the legislature cannot afford to mix up in this democratic bribe-giving .and bribe-taking coptest. Senator JCarter is on record against it, honesty and decency blush at the imputation that republican members will sell themselves and the man or men who advocate such a shameless proceeding will merit only the contempt of the true republicans of this state in the future. DEMOCRATIC EXPANSIONISTS." It is nothing new, of course, for the democratic party to go squarely back on principles it has advocated since its Sorganization ; it has done this so often that such action excites no wonder; the people expect it. But for rann stultifl cation the present attitude of the demO orate in opposing national expansion has never before been equalled. The New York Journal, the leading demo oratio paper of the United States, points pt. that Thomas Jefferson, the founder of that party, donbled the area of this republic in 1808 by the Louisiana pur 9!hae; that he caused ithe occupation of W higgton and Oregon territories. '~Vk0aida wags taken in by the democracy in 1819, while Polk and Pierce, from 18454to 18583, tobk in 750,000 square miles of Texan at~d Mexican territory, . iohh was 37 par,cent of the previous -area of the republic. The democratic party, from Jefferson down, annexed territory to the extent of -nearly, three times the size of the unidn when the fopnder of that party held the reins of government. The present area of the United States is 8,613,127 square miles. The area of the Philippines is 114,886 square miles, or abopt 3 per cent oo the, extent of this county. So, the republicans, by annexing these islands, will still be qhort some 84 per cent of the expansion re.ord of the democrats from 1808 to 1U8. And now the democratic party is op p.aiag national expansion on the plea tjfh it is un-American! In the lan guag. of the atreet gamin, "wouldntt , roj asp you l" Jefferson, then, was loan. So were Pierce and a3o 8othezr great demooratio lead. e-. . ther that, or the present demo. 0al ouame cs to n ational expanalonm S"8t9 Amm.is," aar ~ the New *these, chahrs iek obr. we a strry to pmaty of Monmana. a- uphig s . eokntryt olearings of New York, nearly every Q. $.it year, exceeded those of Lon do the. ,ol. hot ings of the NeW Yo b 'ans are now, greater than those of ai 'henk 'if Enkland; money is oheaper in New York today than in any city in the world. So much for our flnanoial supremacy. Commer oially,, our exports of domestic mer ohandise and manufactures last year were8~ $1~,-00,;00;0: those of all Great Britain were $1,140,00u,000. 'te balance of Tyade in favor of the United States s icresing so rapidly 6lst this country. ill son be the com mercial power of the aWrld; with Eng land as an ally, these two nations will control it if the acquiescence of Col. W. J. Bryan, Grover Oleveland and the democrats of Montan can be obtained. Please, gentlemen, 'o not withhold your consent. The democratic party of Montana is making a great record f9r itself in the senatorial contest at Helena iaJ he testi mony of the leading democratic papers of the state is in evidence that the air at the capital is thick with boodle; that the most shameful corruption ever indulged in in the United States is be ing practiced. No republican journal has made these charges and in future campaigns, when the democratic party of this state asks the people for their votes, it will only be necessary to refer to the files of the Anaconda Standard, Butte Miner and Helena Independent to prove that the democrats are so cor rupt and rotten that no man can train with them and maintain a semblance of self-respect and integrity. The esteemed Billings Times, in its last issue, came out witl a leading edi torial in favor of expansion, notwith standing the opposition of the national democracy.to that issue. Our contem porary deserves credit for thus boldly advocating its convictions on so im portant a question, but is still culpable for its free trade, free silver and other democratic heresies and must yet make many amends before it can be con sidered, an advocate of good govern ment. However, the Times having at last made a start in the right direction, greater things may yet be possible for itin the future. Several democratic papers of the state are serving notice upon Marcus Daly that he must either get in line for W. A. Clark for senator or get out of the democratic' party. It is none of our fight, of course, but where wopld the democratic party of Montana be today if it.had not been for Marcus Daly? Whiteside, with both feet. gets to the front again, at all events. He was heard of in the last legislature, it will be remembered, with sensational charges against the capitol building commission. The Scotch verdict of "guilty, but not proven," was rendered against them. Some democrats, who expect to land in the United States senate, are just as liable to land in the Deer Lodge peni tentiary. The slirts of the republican members of the legislature are still clean, however, and, by the grace of God, they should resolve to keep them so. It is not absplutely certain yes that the next senator from Montana will be a democrat. Or, for that matter, it isn't certain yet that there will be a "next senator" before 1901. Marcus Daly may not elect his candi date for senator, but.lhe will perform the state a signal service if he puts some of the bribe-givers and bribe takers in the penitentiary. If Marcus Daly's forces will also catch some of the republicans who are said to be boosting for Clark, both po litical parties may be purifled. The legislature as eviently dis covered a means of raising revenue which Bob Smith never thought of in his message. The system of paying legislators in advance for their votes doesn't seem to be a howling suooess so far. Mr. Whiteside, we presume, will now ereot a little senatorial lightning rod of his own.
