F.K. Chendle returned Saturday^from (Ilendive and Miles City, where^he had been on professional business.^Mr. Cheadle reports that the masses^in Yellowstone, Custer and Dawson^counties feel much as do those of^Fergus on the political battle.^While dissenting from the financial^plank of tht St Louis platform they^are not willing to climb into the^Democratic, free trade, anarchistic^band wagon but will stay with the^party that has in years past given^them prosperity, trusting to that^great party to meet and settle this^issue as it has all others for thirty^years past, not in the interest of sil^^ver miners or of Wall street specula^^tors hut in behalf of the business^men and workingmen of this great^Bepublic.
Outs.H. Perrine of Fhet, was in^town Friday and Saturday last.^Mr. Perrine has gained considerable^notoriety by declaring himself for^Bryan ami Sew all, though for many^years a prominent Republican. Mr.^Perrine is not one of t hose who be^^lieve they can consistently support^Bryan and still claim to he a Repub^^lican. He says that for the present^he is a Denns-rat and believes that^the only tenable position for Hart-^man and that gentleman's followers^to take. Mr. Perrine expressed tIn^IMP* that Senator Mantle would^resign from Republican councils at^once, believing it an act of bad faitli^for a man to insist upon remaining^the leader of Bepublicau politics^while supporting and working for^the Democratic nominees. (^nr local^tlop|m'i- is certainly consistent.
