McCutcheon's Mood
A Happy One and His Address
a Fine Oratorical Effort
Resolutions Adopted
By the Convention-Delegates
Uninstructeo but Blaine Prac

AN ELOQIUENT SPEEC(H.
Chalrman McCutcheon's Flight of Oratory.
When he called the convention at
Livingston to order on Saturday, Ter
ritorial Committee Chairman Mc
Cutoheon delivered an eloquent ad
dress, which was uttLtantially as
follows:
Oentlemea of the Convention:
Pursuant :o call we have met hare
to elect delegates to a national con
vention, walob will select the next
Prelsdent of the United States. In
view of the political history written
during the past four years, I speak ad
visedly when I deleare my convic
tleos and the conviotions of Republi
cans everywhere throughout the
oountry, that the next President of
these United States will surely be a
Republican.
The people have grown tired and
restless under the administration of a
chief magistrate who has, during that
period of time, trampled under loot
every solemn promise he had made to
them. Even the Mumwumps, who lI
188~ had oeased to worship anytning
but this political deification of their
own, admit that they have bten sadly
disappointed for the reson that "civil
service reform" in hil hands and as he
t~a administered it, has beoome but
little if any more than a screaming
farce. It can be easily demonstrated
that every promise made by the Pres
Ident and his party four years ago was
made but to be troken, and that not a
vestige of any so-called reform sug
geeted by them or either of them can
so-day be found.
The reasons will readily suggest
themselves to any thinking man at all
versed in the hlstory of our govern
meon and of the political parties whlio
have from time to time controlled It.
When the government was turned
over to the Demooratice party, but little
less than four years ago, there was no
occasion for reform. It had bteen con
ducted upon reform principles during
a period of twenty-four years. Lesse
money had been loot by defalcations
during that period than in au) other
like period of our hletory. More
money was handled during that time
by Republican ofitlce holders than has
been handled by all other officers ever
holding positions under the govern
ment, and when the final count was
had and the last cent was paid over, it
was found to be on hand for that pur
pose. We were promised in 1.i4 that
the enormous surplus In the treasury
should be speedily reduced. The
D)emocratic party had gone out ol
power in 166W under suspicious cir.
cumstances at best, and this promise
was undoubtedly made to quiet any
possible tear that the people might
have that some possible Floyd or
Thompson might come in ountact
with it, and their cupidity be tempted
beyond the power of endurance. In
theirplatfurm of lhS4 the Democrats
said: "That a change is necessary is
proven by the existing surpius of more
than $100,JO0,000 which has yearly
been collected from a suffering people.
Unneoesmary taxation is unjust taxa
tion." In hib last annual message the
Presldent devoted no inoonsiderable
epaoe to this subject, and in the same
connection, attempted by a sweeping
blow to paralyae the industrial pur
suite of our people, which had grown
to suobh splendid proportions under the
protection and fostering care of Re
publican administration of the govern
ment. The good faith of the Preeli
dent and his Democratic allies In the
matterof the reductiou of the surplus
in the treasury could not have been
more severely tested than it was by
Rtepubl;oan meimbers of Congress, who
proposed to dto this by the abolition of
internal taxes fromi whiob the govern
ment bad derived f 7a,lk'I,t'e. more of
revenue during the last eleven years
than It had derived fiow curstomn
duties. Th'I'ni irolosition has been op
posed by the I'resident and nearly
every IDem)ra'li tic enmler of (C'on
gres. 'Tie surplus has steadily in
oreased autll 4 to-day much larger than
it was it' 144.
Ta.' Dt 1ao stbA 'aid In their plat
fornm of l i: "We believe In f e
ballot and a fair Count." If thi suu
the e.lltrr~WIn of su honest belief
thetarec lot be a clear conauflenos e1
ilsing withil a Democrat In a major
of the states mouth of lb. llamm and
Dlzon line.
The Preeldatl said blh. hitwr et
aouptanee four years ago: "The pub
lie departmenta will not be flled with
those who conceive it to be their first
duty to aid the party to which they
owe their place, instead of rendering
patient and bounet 'eturn to the peo
ple." This in a wnatt.r over which he
had absolute and unqualified control,
and yet what have we w seen ? The de
partments are the headquarters of po.
litical committe' s, and the oficers in
control in many instances are dra
gooning postmasters throughout the
country into abject and servile party
service to the detriment of the public
interests. The navy department be
gan its operations under the new ad
ministration by needlessly crushing
out the splendid ship building opera
tions conducted by grand old John
Rioach. The interior department con
ducted its business upon a plan beet
oalculated to crush out the liv(e and
destroy the hopes and property of the
poor settlers upon the public domain.
The postoffice department was never
so badly conducted, and to-day there
comes up from every portion of the
country a depand for better postal
service. The department of Justice
has been department of jobbery and
the "school for scandal."
The President anLounced as one of
the cardinal principles upon which
his aduminitration should be con
ducted, that offensive partisanbhip on
the part of public oickers would not be
tolerated. Soon after his administra
tion'began he suspended District At
torney Benton, of Missouri, and Di
triot Attorney Stone, of Pennsylvania,
for au alleged violation of this princi
ple. Benton was the most pronounced
in his violation, and yet being a Dem
ooat, he was restored to his office,
while ~htone, being a Republican, was
removed. The President also declared
with rererence to employes in the pub
lio ervice that "merit and compe
tency shall be recognized instead o
party Mubserviency or the surrender of
honest politiial belief." Yet within
two years 43,000 faithful and compe
tent employes found to their sorrow
that merit and competency are rarely
found by the present administration
outside of the ranks of the Democratio
party. While four years ago he was
declared to be much better than his
party, the President has never failed
to be obsequiously subservient to its
every behest.
The Democratic party bha never
beeun able to keep pace with the
growtL of the country, and what they
ought to know to~day they never fud
out till next week, or until some later
period.
Soon after his nomrinatin Mr.
Cleveland was serenaded at Albany,
New York, and in his speech on that
cecaston he declared that "partle
may become so arrorant aud careles
of the izntertsts of the people as to grow
heedless of their responsililities to
their masters, but the time comes
when the people weigh them in the
balance." This rentiment sounds lihk
a uoliloquy, which might readily su;
gest itself to a Democ rat of 18i4, as be
pondered upon the condition of things
as they existed in Iio" and ..il. It
may have been intended es a word of
warning, but if so toth he and his
party have heedlessly disregarded it.
For the reasons contained in this
declarati )n and for imany more I havy
not the time to enumerate, the people
have weighed the present administra
tion and the party responsible for it,
and will declare at the polls in No
vember next that they are found
wanting In every esseutial element of
governmental success.
Four yeerlago M.r. Clevelaod made
a declaratino with reference to himself
in which be said: "We recognizeo In
the eligibility of the President for re
election a most serious danger to that
calm, deliberate and intelligent polltl
cial action which must caracterize a
government by the people." Yet into
view of this danger he himself has
forttld, bhe l to-day employing tie
power of every department of the gov
ernmentto secure his re-election.
The people have made and are mak
lng other arranrements, and the prees
ent administration will be limited by
its first term. A National conven
tion has been oalled to meet in
Chicago on the 19th of June, and it
will name the maan who will conduct
the tfrairs of Mtate, beginning with
Mlarclh lihI, .189t, and declareatho polley

RIF:OI.t'TION AI)IO'TEID.
Resolved. That the itepuhlioasl of
Moutana unite with their brethren
throughout the Unio in othe dmt
that the revenue of the goverunment
Iihall be so collected as to afford pro
tection to Amllerican industries and
labor and to preserve the home mat
ket to the howe ploducer-a polley
that has Its truu pliant viudication In
the marvelous growth and prosperity
of the country ·llce its adoption by a
Republican .'ougre,-. We denounce
the attempt t:1 the Demooratic party
to impair a system that has so greatly
contributed to secure the fair oln pen
sation and independeace of the work
ilg man and the welfare and happl
zmss of all classes of citizens; and we
protest especially against ite effort to
%trike down the wool growing indue
try by placing its product on the free
list.
Resolved, That the Rel ublloans of
Montana megard the miw.ung Industry
as the obief factor of the wealth and
progress of our territory and as of vital
interest to all classes of cituens; that
we denounce the avowed and inre.
lenting hostility of the Demo :rate ad
ministration to the producte,'cc of sl.
ver, lead and copper, and that we de
mand that all mnleral lands a ball be
reserved for those who disoa·er sad
develop their treasures of pr, cious
metal.
Resolved, That the Republican party
has always been and will ever Le a jus
and generous friend of the soldi i who
fought for the Union, and decla. i4 Its
unfaltering purpose to aid such meas
ures am will provide that no one of
them shall ever be dependent on char
Ity for sustenanue.
Resolved, That we charge upon the
Democratic party that it is, in its poll
tics and practices, essentially anti
American, in that it encoorages and
rewards methods that deny to a large
number of citizen) a fair and free
ballot, which is the founder of our In
ttlrutions; t.rat its foreign policy is
weak. syotphantio and detrimental to
the iuterestp and self-respect of this
crest republic; that it impeses upon
toe people of tre territories a system
of taxation without representation as
odious as that which drove the Amerl
cans of 177t6 to revolt, and, above all.
in that it seeks to degrade and Im
poverish the American laborer for
tbJ benetit of foreign nations.
Resolved, That we declre :he der
wratic party to be the foe of honest
.lcrtions, as illustrated by the almost
unauious oppoition of the demo
eratic merribers of the legislative as
-tembly of M .tana to a :egistration
:aw, as well as by the convention of
,nuoocratic elective officers in Illinots,
he shameful exercise of clemency by
the demnocratic president toward like
-tenders iu Ohio and the organised
and entrenhetbd crime against the bal
lot wili'h results Ii a "solid south."
Resolved, That we recognize in the
refusal of the democrats in congress
und the cabinet to sit apart sufficient
funds to secure the prosecltion of aur
vrys of the public lands to Montana,
a part of the deliberate purpose of the
dominant element in that party to
discourage and retard the growth and
.ettlement of the wedt for narrow.
selfish and partisan advantages.
Resolved, That the dental of admis
-lon into the Union, of those territo
rles that have sufnicient population to
entitle them to statehood, unless they
shall iresent lIDeocratic crededtails,
Is a political crime that deserves the
severeat condemnation of a just and
patriotic people: andl that we demand
on the p:art of .2000.(l0 iont I igent and
loyal residents of Montana that they
bi no longer deprived of the privileges
that I ellng to cltizenship of the
It-uu lie
it,,lve t, That we condema the
,ollcv w"iihh ha. been pursued by the
,Y.erljt admitintratio. in the matter
~fappo.utlueutP to office in the terri
torie., as teiog in violation of the meet
solerun pronmises made by the demo
.ratitc party in its national convention
,f l'', and is in utter d:sregard of the
r'ghtu and best interests of the inhabi
tant, of the t..rritorns.
Resolved, That if "bublie offee is a
nubllc trust." Grover Cleveland has
dernonstrated to the satisfaction of the
people of Montana that there is not a
single tru~utworthy democrat in Moa.
tanm who has the nltegrity and ability
o administer upon the duties of a
pdbic nffee.
Rrsolved, That it is the sense of this
onnvention that its delegation to

However, we take occasion to Int.
