A CONTR asst.


Hon. E. D. Holbrook is appreciated in
other States aud Territories than the portion
of the Union he has represented in Congress
Few men of his age have become more widely
and favorably known in the brief period in
which he has been in public service, than the
Delegate from Idaho. His energy is proven
bal. His talent is admitted by the worst of
his political enemies. This talent and energy
was shown in Washington so manifestly that
no man has yet been found who can deny the
fact that all that any Delegate from this Ter
ritory could do for the interests of his con-
stituents has been promptly done by Mr.. Boil
brook.
Every new Congressman has one disad-
vantage which counts heavily against his eff
It takes TIME to learn
the ropes /; to become familiar with the char
acter of his fellow members; to acquire that
knowledge and those intimacies which are
all-important to the legislator, and particu-
larry the representative of a Territory, who
has no vote to work with, and is at the most
but beggar for his constituents. When
that familiarity is once obtained, one such
representative is worth dozen green men,
bers. Mr.. Holbrook possesses that advan-
tage over his competitor in this canvass. Mr.
Kirkpatrick has no experience whatever. He
would, if reelected, have to spend year in
learning how to successfully perform his du-
ties. At the end of that year he would re-
turn to Idaho, and plead this very reason
why he ought to be returned to Congress-
We see DC necessity for waiting that long,
and then be placed precisely where we now
are. The Democratic candidate is admitted
to possess talent, energy and experience; and
If he cannot do anything for the advantage
of this Territory, there is no use in sending
any representative to Washington.
The San Francisco Examiner quotes the
following extract from an Oregon paper which
is forcible expression of the views enter
tanned of Mr.. Holbrook by those who have
no personal interest in Congress or its mem
bers
CoNTRAsT-The Hon. E. D. Holbrook Delegate in
Congress from Idaho Territory frequently noticed in
the Congressional reports, says the State Rights (Or
Democrat and in almost every instance we find that he
presents some for the material benefit of his
constituency and the welfare Of the Territory he repre
sents oregon has on the floor Of the House full Rep
resentatlon and two Senators in the upper branch of
Congress 1t Is rarely find the name of either of
hese three pesonages in thereports but whatsoever we
TO- 1t is almost invariably in connection with some mere
laptrap or buncombe proposition idea of no practical
to anybody and ofno benefit advantage to Oregon
or any class of her citizens Indeed the talented and
efficient Delegate from Idaho performs more in behalf
of his constituency in practical material point of view
han all three of the Oregon delegation accomplish in the
interest of this State Idaho has reason to be proud of
ler peerless young Delegate who displays maturity
n practical craftsmanship beyond his years.

Democratic, Meetings.

The Democratic Mass Meetings throughout
the County, during the past week, have been
attended by large audiences, and the speakers
greeted with enthusiasm wherever they have
spoken. At Placerville, Pioneer, Centerville,
Granite Creek, Boston, Buena Vista Bar and
PinesGrove the Democracy have turned out,
ana SHOWN by the interest manifested, and
welcome given, that the old Democratic fire
Still burns brightly in the bosoms of the
people. Their meetings have presented a
striking contrast to those held. by the Repub-
Aeaas IN the same precincts-ou tnumbering
them in some of the precincts three to one.
Enc humbuggery with, which the Abolition
candidates are endeayorng to bamboozle
Democrats has about as much effect as the
distribution of pocket-full Of fog. The

KIRKPATRIoK.-This gentleman is opposed as
he says, to Congressional legislation to extend the
elective franchise to the blacks; opposed to the
amendments to the Organic laws of the Terrific
rles; yet he approves Of Congress, supports Radi.
Gals, denounees Democracy, and claims that the
difference between the President and Congress is
SO slight it will soon be compromised. Upon the
whole, he wants to go to Congress. Most likely,
Index.
That's the general opinion up here. In
addition to his list of wants, he wants twelve
or fifteen hundred votes more than he will
get.

WIDENING BROADWAY,

A correspondent proposes this method of widening
Broadway, so as to give room for railroad, if one
should be deemed desirable:
|. Throw both sidewalks into the carriage-way.
g Take Is or % feet of the first floor only Of the
buildings on each side for sidewalks, leaving the upper
stories intact.
,. The new sidewalks being under the buildings
always protected from sun and storm, the projections
above them to rest on light and graceful iron pillars
or columns rendering the street more attractive ana
the shops more inviting than now.
- To all which we have only to say that, when the
owners and essees of Broadway property shall agree
TO il ,e shall not stand out But as II would proba-
bly, impose on them an expenditure of $1,000 per lot
say $4,000 900 between the Battery and Union
square-we don't think they are quite ready yet to
agree 10 IL.
