HE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.-We copy as follows
from the New York Herald of the 18th
For eight years the Republican party has been in
power and the final results by the people are
the arrangement of all the machinery of government
an almost incredible corruption in Office and weight
in taxes that bears and labor the earth.
Will the people longer have patience with party that
has such hstoryg This is the question of the hour
Is there any fear in future that should the
people to trust this party again despite the fear
full chance that it may continue the destructive
that has already been disastrous to the
tional prosperity? Can any other party infct upon
evils worse than those suffer as the conse-
qnence of Radical msrule? Reconstruction by sys-
TEN Of legislation that deliberately forges Calamity for
a whole people and prepares the social ruin of ten
States to secure power to eotere of potcians-thia
is the political crime that stamps the Radical faction
utterly damnabe before the people, Men inquire
what the faction would stop at that would purchase
such end BY such MEANS and they know that it will
not stop at anything sacred in the law and will respect
the rights of the people in the North little it has
done in the South Does the name of Grant furnish
any guarantee for the future of the Radicals? The
people not ready believe it. Grant is politically
only promise and possibility. Respectable men
are not willing to doubt his honesty Or his upright
purpose but these do not always qualify for success
in such strife he must control save the people
from bis party. He may prove capable; he may not
and it is time when the people eannot trust their flu.
ture to such chance. Therefore the doom of Radi-
calism seems to be burned into the popular brain.

1 GEs GR4NT-Rog They Got HIM - We alWaya
thought it strange in shrewd and economical point
| of view that General Grant Hiram, Sam, Ulysses,
whatever his may be-a question yet III dispute)
should consent to give up the command OF the army
and his pay of 600 year for life, in order to be
President for four yearsif he gets i--at $25, 900
| year. The St. Paul Pioneer explains the mystery
The RAIDS obliged to have him, for their cause,
already stencil in the peoples nostrils, was not to hs
relied upon, and the gunpowder popularity and bloody
buchery of Grant the only hopeful card in thec
pack. Accordingly when Ulysses went to figuring up
his losses by becoming their candidate they had moth
ing to do but to buy him up to head their ticket The
st. Paul paper thus tells the story:
Grant Paid $780, 900 ard Bought Up to be Ct Pres
ide,atial Cana:aate e-Grant holds lie office, worth
SIT, 900 year at least. When the bondholders and
gold sharks first appealed him be candidate for
President he represented the common sense view OF
the case that he could not afford ithat it would be
folly for him to throw up life Office worth $4,000
year. for four years Office worth S25, 900 year. In
order to this scruple the gold ring entered
into an accurate calculation of how much he would
sacrifice, by taking the office of President. He is
say 45 years OF age, and may live till he is seventy.
An Office worth $4,000 annually would produce il
twenty-five years 100000. But the Presidency four
years would only produce 100000, in other words
he would lose $780, 600 by throwing up his general
ship even if be was elected President. It is matter
Of fact and susceptible of proof that the corrupt ring
who made Grant the candidate then raised that amount
alton of his consent to become the Radical Presiden
tial candidate.
Now suppose Grant should be elected; whose Pres
ident would he be? Would he be the President of
the people, or Of the ring that has already bought him
ups It is impossible that he should accept this im
mense gift without placing himself under irredeemable
obligations to the men who contributed it. He has
been already bought with price. He is no longer
his own owner but the property the gold and bond
ring, the tariff ring, the whisky ring, the thieves, spec
ulators contractors, shoddy lords, mill owners, bond
holders and national bankers generally who paid their
money for him. He cannot be independent, for in
accepting their money he has parted with his ndepen
dence. He cannot be honest for in selling himsefhs
has parted with his honesty Hamong the misfortuues
that good Providence has in store for US, is to be
his election to the Presidency should have the
tool of the bondocraey and all the corrupt rings in the
chair of the Chief Magistrate
With this disgraceful state of facts the declaration
Of Grant that he would have "no policy" acquires
new significance. He will have policy, for the
that paid him 100000 will dictate his policy Tho
money with which he was bought will be President,
and not himself.

strong democratic locality, with standing
majority of four hundred. This is an unex-
pected triumph, and is due to the personal
soldier, an intelligent Republican, and a
gentleman of unusual energy aud ability.
IMPORTANT SuIr.-Yesterday Geo. NJ. Pm
ney, Manager of the Montana Posr Publishing
Co., commenced the foreclosure of n mort
gage, amounting to about SIS 900, on all the
type, machinery and material, known as the
'sHerald Printing Establishment" of this
place, and now in the possession of Messrs.
Fisk Stuart. motion has been fled for
the appointment of a receiver upon the
grounds, that the security is diminishing in
consequence of the use of the material, and
the parties are believed to be insoIvent.
IrENs.-The Salt Lake Reporter acknowl-
edges a call from Con 0rem last week Gen.
CIampitt, Special Mail Agent, arrived in Salt
Lake from his Montana trip on the Esd ult.,
go. Thomas Bagg, one of the recently es-
capped murderers from Deer Lodge, is still in
Portland Jail, awaiting requisition from
Montana Several parties are on the look
out for lots, upon which to build fine residen-
ces in the vicinity of Broadway, Fifth Avenue
and Rodney streets. Mr.. Astereto, he who
furnishes Helena with its fine fresh fruits, re-
turned from Salt Lake recently. He declares
Helena to be the best place yet.
READING CLuR.-we understand that some
fifteen twenty of our German fellow citi-
Gems have in contemplation the formation of
a reading club to be supplied with nearly
fifty German, French and English papers both
European aud American. IL is purposed to
provide fine reading room for the club in
the event that it proves success. The idea
is good one and our only wonder is, that it
has not soonsr been acted upon.
TAxEs.-Mr. King, the Collector, informs
US that not one half these from whom taxes
are due have yet paid up. He would exceed
ingly regret being compelled to take the
course which the Collectors are adopting in
other counties, for the distraining ofproperty
is by means pleasant operation. In or
der that no necessity for such action may be
forced upon him, he hopes that all delin-
quents will settle up Immediately.
GOLD AssAYISG.-During the month of
September just ended, Messrs. f. Bohm & Co.
have smelted S196,695 As of gold dust, all of
which has been transformed into beautiful
gold bars, and sent East, there to be coined,
and to do its share towards paying the debt
of the nation. We presume this is more busi-
ness than the entire mint establishment of
Colorado has donein six months.
In New HASDs.-Mr. C. c. Huntly to-day
commences carrying the mail between Ban
mack and Virginia. For the present it is
transported on horseback, but it is probable
that some changes in the manner of perform
ing the service will soon be made.
