The Park county democrats have met
with so little encouragement in their
canvass here that they have turned
their attention to democratic Deer
Lodge county and are now booming
their county ticket in the Standard.
Charles E. Stevens of Boulder has
sent in liis declination as a republican
elector. Mr. Stevens is the republican
candidate for clerk and recorder in Jef
ferson county, and does not desire that
his name shall appear in two places up
on the ballot. The vacancy will be
tilled by the republican state committee.
The supreme court of Wisconsin has
decide«! the recent outrageous gerrv
niantler in that state unconstitutional,
thus preventing the consummation of
the democratic scheme to thwart the
will of the voters. An extra session of
the legislature will now be called to
make another apportionment.
The initial number of The Bulletin
published at Stillwater by J. M. Ram
sey. formerly of the Big Timber Pioneer,
has reached our exchange table. It is a
six-column folio, neatly printed and well
edited, and with the opening of the
Prow reservation to settlement shoulil
find a remunerative Held in the booming
little burg of Stillwater.
Colonel Daniel Searles, the veteran
editorial writer recently of the Great
Kails Tribune, has accepted the edito
rial management of the Western Demo
crat of Missoula, and will continue to
advocate free lea«! anil free w«k »1 ilespite
the declaration of Hauser, Clark and
other democratic leaders that free leail
would mean the abantlonment of leail
mining in the west and throw thousands
of workmen out of employment.
The temporary prohibition of the im
portation of foreign rags has effected an
increase in the price of that commodity
and a subsequent rise in the price of all
grades of rag paper. The same principle
will apply to wool and other so-called
raw materials, and were it not for the
restriction placed upon wool importa
tions by the tariff it cau readily be seen
the price would fall to meet the cheap
production of foreign countries. It is
therefore clear that when the democrat
ic press and democratic orators tell the
woolgrowers that the tariff does not
favorably affect the price of wool they
j are simply trying to deceive them in the
interest of party success.
When Roger (}. Mills complained be
cause protection keeps 82tX),OUO,(MH) in
foreign products out of the country
every year, he really makes the strongest
possible argument for the protection
policy, because that fact means that un
der that policy the amount of money
named is kept in this country every year
and spent among our people, instead of
>eing sent abroad to enrich foreigners,
as if would be under the democratic free
trade policy.
Attention is called to the open letter
of Senator Sanders which appears in
another column attesting the effective,
intelligent and persistent efforts of Al
vin P. Vinneilge for the passage of the
segregation bill in the interest of rail
road construction to Cooke. Mr. Vin
neilge voluntarily sacrificed his home in
terests to remain at Washington to labor
for the measure, thus placing the people
of Park county under obligations to
him, and no more graceful act of appre
ciation could be given in return than to
elect Mr. Vinneilge by a rousing major
ity to the position of clerk of the district
court.
The Bozeman Chronicle desires this
paper to state what Helena has ever
done for Paik county to deserve the un
dying love of this section of the state.
We admit that it has done nothing.
Like Bozeman, and every other locality
in Montana, its people are working for
the material advancement of their own
city. The people of Livingston and
Perk county realize that upon their own
efforts anil uneipialed resources they
must rely for future development and
prosperity. It is not because of any
debt of gratitude to Helena that her
claims are recognized ns paramount to
other localities in the contest for capi
talistic honors, but for the sole reason
that we believe Montana's and Park
county's best interests will be subserved
by permitting the capital to remain
where it is and settling the matter per
manently at the coming election.
When it was predicted that the sup
port of Dana's paper the New York Sun,
would jirove a boomerang to the fat
prophet, it was hardly expected that it
would give open comfort to the friends
of protection to American industries.
But such is the fnct if we are to judge
from the following defense of Labor Com
missioner Peck and the effect of the Mc
Kinley bill upon business interests. The
Sun says : "It is a sign of great demo
cratic party strength that the making
of a petulant and semi-hostile hubbub
about Commissioner Peck's report set
ting forth the prosperity of the state of
New York should he left chiefly to the
mugwump theorists who have main
tained a guerrilla-like attachment to the
democracy out of a notion that they
could thereby smash the tariff. Happi
ly the election of the democratic na
tional ticket is not to he decided by the
overthrow or proof of certain statistics
published by Labor Commissioner Peck
of New York, or by Labor Commissioner
Peele of Intlinna. Bedlams of calamity
shriekers or streams of demagogic palti
tudes, about the wealth of the rich and
the poverty of the poor, cannot make an
issue upon the question of prosperity in
New York or elsewhere in this country,
The evidence of active and wholesome
business is too apparant for debate.
Alvin P. Vinnedge, republican candi
date for clerk of the court, is now mak
ing an active canvass of the county and
is meeting with good success in every
locality. Mr. Vinnedge has labored in
cessantly, since becoming a resident of
the county, for the development of the
New World mining district and other
portions of the county and has not only
contributed his time but has spent
money to obtain for the miners of Cooke
what they have W'aited so patiently
for a railroad. Last winter when the
segregation bill was under considera
tion in congress Mr. Vinnedge gladly
consented to make a trip to Washington
at considerable inconvenience to himself
and at an expense which he was unable
stand, to do wnat he could to further
the interests of the bill. To his efforts
more than to any other man is due the
prominent position which the bill now
occupies before congress and if it be
comes a law next winter the honor con
nected with its passage will be due in a
great measure, to Mr. Vinnedge.
The voters of Park county are well
aware of these facts and will reward the
republican candidate on election day
with a handsome majority. But it is
not the lal>ors of Alvin P. Vinnedge in
behalf of Cooke City upon which the re
publican party relies to elect him to the
office to which he aspires. Mr. Vin
nedge is possessed of a splendid educa
tion, is well qualified to fill any posi
tion within the gift of tiie people, is
courteous and accommodating and w ould
make a first class clerk in every respect.
These facts were taken into considera
tion by the republican convention and
after weighing the merits of other re
publicans well qualified to fill the posi
tion, Mr. Vinnedge was considered the
best qualified and his nomination fol
lowed by acclamation. Every voter
should place an X opposite the name of
Alvin P. Vinneilge when he makes up
his ballot.
THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
The most important of all the offices
to lie filled at the coming election are
those of state senator and representa
tives. In addition to the political
intiuence it will have upon the state
itself the next legislature will have a
direct bearing upon national politics by
reason of its election of a United States
senator. It is therefore of the utmost
importance that the republicans should
secure these ofiices and to this end every
voter wlio believes in the principles and
policy of tiie party should cast ins vote
for tiie republican nominees. Personal
preference should in no m inner he per
mitted to actuate them in casting their
ballots. Without disparagement to the
gentlemen who have been named by the
democratic party for these positions it
can truly lie said that no better mate
rial than that of which tiie republican
candidates for senator and representa
tives are composed can lie found in Park
county. They stand- in opposition to
the democratic party nominees for
protection to American industries, in
cluding those in which Montana is most
vitally interested wool and lead.
NOT A FREE TRADER.
General Master Workman Powderly
of the Knights of Labor comes out Hat
footed against the democratic national
platform and nominees. Some time
since tiie North American Review print
ed an article entitled "Labor and Pro
tection," written by Mr. Powderly.
Prom this the democratic national com
mittee saw fit to print extracts which
were destroyed in such a manner as to
favor free trade. Mr. Powderly has
hitherto been a democrat, but he does
not propose to be misrepresented for
|K)liticul effect, and accordingly comes
out with the following forcible and per
tinent arraignment of the democratic
party :
"The national candidates of the demo
cratic party are not in power, the na
tional committee is not in power, but
the chairman of the democratic national
committee is in power, and lie can, if lie
will take steps to put a stop to tiie rob
bery of American working men and wo
men by the combinations which threat
en tiie existence of our institutions and
liberties. The republican party has
been charged with being the party of
plutocracy, of wealth and monopoly,* but
the democratic party has tiie supreme
gall to assume, witli an air of patroniz
ing ownership, tiie privilege of dictating
just how working-men shall vote. It
claims to lie the party of the poor man.
I grant that it ought to be, for tiie jssir
have given it the strength to live long
enough to tee its candidate for the presi
dency write against free silver at tiie
dictation of Wall street, long enough to
see its national convention frame a <1 in
honest declaration in favor of wildcat
banks, long enough to see tiie principal
actors on its board squirm and shift with
every wind to catch the votes of poor
men. Yes, the democratic party is tin
party of the poor man, and if he* contin
ues to vote that ticket he will never be
anything else than a poor man."
WHY HE SUPPORTS CLEVELAND.
In a letter to tiie Buffalo Evening
News Colonel William Bowen Moore,
late of General Grant's staff, presents
statements regarding the seizure of
£80,000,000 worth of government land by
Henry Villard, with the aid of Carl
Schurz. When it is remembered that
Villard was one of the most active advo
cates of Cleveland's election it can read
ily be understood that it was with the
object of defeating any legislation calcu
lated to retain even the minerai lands of
tiie west from the rapacity of the North
ern Pacific corporation. It also ex
plains Schurz' attitude in favor of the
fat prophet. Colonel Moore says :
"Among the names on the Cleveland
proclamation addressed to Germans, ure
those of Henry Villard, now chief direct
or of the Northern Pacific railroad, and
Carl Schurz. Mr. Villard came to this
country under his father's name, a good
old German name, but when he got up
in the world he assumed the French
sounding name of Villard. About the
time of the great financial crash of 1873
the Northern Pacific railroad had been
granted some lG,(XX),t)00 acres of public
land on certain conditions. When Carl
Schurz became secretary of tiie interior,
these lands, then wortli 85 per acre, had
been forfeited for non-compliance with
the laws of congress. Secretary Schurz,
instead of taking steps to have the pub
lic domain revert to the people, rendered
a decision regranting this vast property
Villard's road. When Mr. Schurz s
terms of office expired as secretary of
the interior tiie New York Evening Post
became the property of Mr. Villard, and
Mr. Carl Schurz took charge of that
journal as managing editor and contin
ued in charge of it until Mr. Villard
readied financial bankruptcy. When
the Post fell into other hands and Mr.
Schurz fell out, I hoard President Grant
say that the decision of Carl Schurz in
regranting the Northern Pacific lands,
entitled him to the same treatment that
he (General Grant) applied to the noto
rious Colonel Murphy of the Eighth
Wisconsin volunteers, when his shoul
der straps were stripped from him in
December, 18(12, for surrendering Holly
Springs, Miss., to Van Dorn, the rebe*l
raider."
Colonel Moore was supervisor or spec
ial agent of the treasury department,
practically tiie head of the customs ser
vice during the administration of Presi
dent Grant.
DOES THIS EXPLAIN IT?
We believe the Anaconda capital
boomers Hre at the bottom of the
scheme by which Bozeman, Great Falls
and Boulder are so persistently kept in
the capital fight, anil that they are also
at tiie back of the strong effort which is
being made in various mining sections
of the eastern part of the state to get
the laboring men thereof to support
Butte for the capital. The whole pur
pose of the scheme is to split tiie east side
vote as much as possible, local pride
beieg utilized in the case of the three
smaller east side candidates mentioned,
ami a prominent labor agitator of Butte j
being sent into the east side mining
sections to enlist the sympathies of
laboring men therein to support Butte,
thus detracting just that much from
Helena's natural strength. Of course
the proposition is not to help Butte
which without much doubt will swing
into the Anaconda line before tiie last
week of tiie campaign but to alienate
these voters from tiie candidate which
they should properly support, which is
Helena. Just what inHuenee may have
been brought to bear upon Bozeman,
we are not prepared to say, 'out it has
been rumored that money was a part of
tiie consideration.
The fact that Anaconda is the only
formidable rival of Helena isnowsetiled
beyond question, and tiie result of tiie
capital campaign will be one of two
tilings either to keep tiie capital at
Helena or to remove it to Anaconda.
Anaconda comprises in lier corps of
workers a number of very shrewd ma
nipulators, and the earnestness with
which her candidacy is being pushed to
tiie front is satisfactory evidence that it
lias not been decided upon in a moment.
The wires were unquestionably laid
weeks ago, and it is not likely that such
important points in her interest as those
mentioned above would be overlooked.
Division of the east side vote to cripple
Helena would naturally be the first
move that would suggest itself. The
numerous east side candidates whicii
have bobbed up were doubtless puppets
moved by the Anaconda string. That
part of tiie scheme for alienating tiie
east side mining vote from Helena was
the work of an artist. It was sought to
accomplish this by sending a man
amongst these mining camps to repre
sent that it was tiie wisli and hearty de
sire of the great labor unions of Butte
to have their brothers in other parts of
tiie state support that town for tiie cap
ital. Unfortunately for Anaconda, how
ever, this agent, Boland, lias b>en brand
ed by the Bystander, tiie Butte labor
organ, as a fraud and an imposter not
warranted to speak for the laboring men
of that camp, and in reality tiie paid
agent of a corporation. The advertising
of this fact will certainly nullify any
good which he may have accomplished
in iiis canvass in Anaconda's behalf.
It is plainly to be seen that Anaconda
is in this tight well equipjied to will, and
that she will win if tiie people of tiie
portion of tiie state east of tiie main
range do not poll all their votes anticen
ter them upon their strongest candi
date, which is Helena. Not to do this
means tiie removal of the capital to Ana
conda. What will be tiie decision of the
voters of eastern Montana?

Grand Rapids Herald: Our demo
cratic friends say that if wool is made
free the price of clothing will be made
cheaper. Anthracite coal is free, but
we don't hear anybody in the democratic
woods yelling that the combine has ad
vanced the price on that account.
Strange mortals, these democrats, they
hardly know which wav to dodge this
year.
Missoulian: Why don't you say some
thing about local politics? asked a good
republican tailor. Great Heavens, man
if you are not doing all the talk neces
sary, then the boys erred in putting you
on the ticket. The Missoulian is for the
purpose of disseminating republican
doctrine, and you can bet she gets
there just the same.

Salt Lake Tribuue : Don Dickinson
advises the democracy in New York to
let Tammany have the local offices.
The out-and-out democratic papers say
that is sound advice, but how about the
mugwumps ? Can they be held down
until after election ? The democracy is
not out of its trouble in New York yet
by several miles. The birth of the mug
wumps was simply a recoil against Tam
many. Mr. Cleveland is the mugwump
candidate, but if the local offices in New
York are to be given to Tammany, then
how can the mugwumps reconcile them
selves to shout in one breath for Mr.
Cleveland and then hold their breath
and keep still about Tammany? Poor
old New York!

Inter Mountain: It is only in coun
ties supposed to be republican or in
doubt that the democratic managers are
helping along the third party movement.
In Silver Bow and Lewis & Clarke the
populists have democratic backing and
indorsement, as in the case of Judge
Pemberton, but in Gallatin, which is a
democratic stronghold, the third party
people could muster only six men to a
county convention on Saturday and the i
democrats in that county ridicule the !
movement. The game is plain enough j
The -democrats propose to utilize the
third party votes only in republican dis- !
tnets. The only way for the populists
to resent this treatment is for them to !
vote the straight republican ticket. j
