The Territory Of Montana has gone
Democratic by a large majority, electing
James NJ Cavanaugh delegate to Con-
gress. Our majority in the territorial leg
islature is so large as to approach unan-
unity.
Mr.. Cayanaurh the newly elected dele
gate, is a character iii his way. lie is an
ilsh- Yankee by birth, combining the roi-
licking humor Of one nationality with the
keenness Of tLe other. He was one Of the
first representatives in Congress, admitted
from the new State of Minnesota, in 1859.
Three members were elected by the peo-
pie, under a mistaken idea as 70 the popu-
lation Of the Stat, but Congress would
admit but two The three members elect
settled the question among themselves as
to who should 90 in, by game of cut
throat euchre. OF course this does not
appear on the record, but Is nevertheless
true,--AIter serving for two years in the
House, Cavanaugh was defeated for a
reelection, and becoming disgusted with
the black look Of politics in Minnesota,
migrated 10 Idaho, Colorado, Montana,
and all the other territories, in hopes, Mi
cawber like, Of something turning up.
W believe he has been a candidate for
Congress IN all these territories, and has
at last, we are glad to see, ''made the
rifle" in Montana. Cavanaueh was a
Douglas delegate to the Charleston Con,
vention in 1860, and after its sessions
were over, being himself from Lowell,
was selected to follow Ben Butler to his
home, where he exposed to an immense
crowd, who refused Butler a hearing,
how the since famous ''spoons" sold out
Douglas for jeff Davis. Butler was hoot-
ed from the meeting, and Cayanaugh re-
manned the hero Of the hour. In the grace
tuI amenities Of personal oratory Cava-
naugh Is fully the equal of Butler. He
Is the most happy mixture of the peculiar
traits OF the Yankee and the Irshman
that Dame Nature ever cast in one mould.
