'erge the railroads of tle west uthwe.st into one gigantic sys 0`o tihat rates might be controlled . all semblance of competition de i But Mr. Hill's exalted man and soul compelling philan topy had caused him to spurn the ie~mlnade and bid defiance to the fmnpter. Only for Hill's manly stand he country west of the Missouri would now be struggling in the grasp if an octopus so horrible as to be in -eonceivable to the human mind. Nothing was said of the Northern Se •curities company. Mr. Heinze took it for granted that trat monopoly had never been heard of in this locality. A Haven, of Refuge. Rockefeller showing singns of re turning consciousness, Mr. Heinze as Aaulted him once more. He said that Montana was the haven or refuge to Which all the other states in the union now looked. '"i can say it modestly .that I have had not a little to do with bringing about this nappy result," he added blushingly. Colorado and Idaho were other strings of his lute and woeful airs he drew from them. The men who were responsible for the outrages commit ted in those two states under the pre tense of sustaining the laws were try ing to force an entry into fair Mon tana. In Colorado; where men were deported without a shadow of right or law, the national administration sustaI he men who were conduct ing iaiigs in such highhanded fashion. "The muzzled press" began to breath again and promptly Mr. Heinze tackled it once more and choked it into good behavior. A foot or hand being seen to move in the pile of mangled humanity that once was the Rockefellers, Harrimans, Rogers, etc., the battle ax ,was brought into play and again its blade dripped blood. A Weak Apology. Mr. Heinze spoke a few sentences about the reforms to be expected should the democrats elect their ticket and then began a weak apology for Governor Toole because he called the legislature to convene in extra aession for the purpose of passing `the "fair trial" law. The governor, he said, had been coerced, bullied and driven into the act. He had been besieged by petitions and requests until to remain longer obdurate was impossible. To force the people to do its wishes the Amalgamated had closed down its mines and thrown hundreds, yes, thousands out of em ployment. With starvation staring them in 'the face the masses had be sought Governor Toole td convene the legislature so that they might not miserably perish from the face of the earth.

PHYSICIAN 'W i a~tI bid them defiance in their Oer," modestly remarked Mr. Heine, as he continued his apology for the governor and incidentally his own laudation. Mr. Heinse closed by paying his re spects to Thomas H. Carter and de nouncing Representative Bever for his alleged treason to the people and his affiliation with the "Standard Oil crowd." He asKed all to vote for the democratic nominee for the legisla ture. Chair's Awkward Blunder. As soon as "Leonidas" subsided the impatient crowd began to rush for the door. Mr. George began calling to it to wait. "Don't go yet," he said, "the best part is to come." This evoked shouts of laughter and the worthy chairman realizing his blun der, hastened to add "that is, some of the best." The quartette, rather tuneful, but singing the most execrable campaign songs ever inflicted upon an audi ence, took the stage quickly and be gan to sing. This checked the stam pede and J. M. Kennedy was intro duced. That gentleman evidently was mixed as to his geography, for he began to talk about Senator Meyer. As this did not appear to touch the audience he turned loose the flues of his fluency and took a fall or two out of the Amalgamated and Standard Oil companies. Then he told what a brave, heroic, chivalrous gentleman Mr. ,Heinze was and endorsed every thing he had said. Next he went after the "muzzled press" and then slan dered Mr. Bever by intimating that within an hour after his arrival at Helena to attend the session of the legislature to which he was elected he had sold out to the Amalgamated company, saying Mr. Bever "after an hour's conference in a room in the second story of the Grandon came downstairs with a roll protruding from his pocket as big as a coal oil can." C'olorado and Idaho were served up once more, steaming hot and sizzling, and another apology for Governor Toole was offered. The audience was told that Mr. Bever was responsible for the passage of the "fair trial" law because he had voted for. This was something new, as many of those present had been laboring under the impression that others besides Yel lowstone county's representative had voted for the bill. , They even had believed that some of the truly good democrats from ,Silver Bow, all Mr. Heinze's friends, had voted the same way. After being told in all seriousness that all the business men in Billings, notwithstanding they had favored pas sage of the act, now were sorry that it had a place on the statutes of the state, the voters in the house were urged to vote for Mr. Johnston, as he alone could save them from the schemes, machinations and deviltries of the Standard Oil company.
