The Montana post., 1869-04-23
rwINE THIS WITH THE "vIL-
LOwS.v

all round its hat" for a caption TO a
captious article. and closed with a reek>
ing requiem:
Och sure friend Maginnls
You put an apt FINS
On all your tine quipS and FAcETIA,
For your brawn limbs will stagser
Meath the great Carpet BagSer,
AMI give you the Bend A LA GRECIA.
You received him with Juices,
Top buggles, cayuses,
And hope<, It would not do to mention,
But Bruce, Orr or Shuber
Will bring you up sober"
And slaughter your Jeems" in Conven-
tIou.
We see your drift. You approach us
on a supposed tender point. but our
stars" do not propose to sing
"Come, We disconsolate,"
with any bars" in the music. TO those
who won't Dance 'Tis true, you have
appealed to our tenderest sympathies,
but they are like National currency, not
Lega5 tender just now. Perhaps some
sins of Omission have prevented those
of Commission" For further particu-
lars see Sanders. Simmons, and Hull
lot of others. Perhaps we are too mus
sical. Shakespeare said:
"The man who hath no music in hi mself
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds,
Is fit for treascns, stratagems and sPoILs."
Evidently we are not fit for spoils. al
though, in attributing it to this circum-
stance, we are confronted by the stubs
born fact that Massachusetts,, with all
her musical manias, has got away with
Bout, well. all she deserves.
However, il might as well be admit
ted, first as last, that those who have
been the recognized organizers, leaders
aud advocates of the Republican party
in Montana. have been hoored-Mr,
Watson being, SO far, the only excep-
tion. Mr.. Ashley is endeavoring to have
the Indian Superintendency retained to
the Governorship, and this will leave
out General Wilson. W. A. G. Ryan,
we are informed, will probably succeed
General Howie. Mr.. t. G.. Everts will
remain.
We can see why the Gazette has here
tofore triumphed. The necks of Judge
Warren, Mr.. MCLEAN, Receiver. Mr..
Mayhem, u. 5. Attorney, and Major
McAuley, of the Flathead Agency, all
good Democrats. have not been barred to
the stroke, while the heads of Republi-
ans were tumbling. But on Saturday,
"a change came Ger the spirit of their
dream"
We have had to CAGE enough, but they
are worse with Cavanaugh. All the
linen of the Gazette fiuttered with anxi.
ETY. on the approach of him upon whose
banner is emblazoned that symbol of
political energy-a six>bit Carpet Bag.
He was escorted and recepted with all
the unterrifed dignity and previous ar
rangements that characterized the re .
turn of Andrew johnson to Greenville.
and like him and another ancient DEM
ocrat, "he opened his mouth and spake" ::
Fellow citizens: Eighteen months
ago the place where you now stand was
a"-(Everybody remembers Cough s
Bridge story)
But the unterrifed uttered no cheer
silence profound, amid which the editor
of the Gazette picked up a pin 10 test
the effect, reigned supreme on Main
street. The iron of Bruce had entered
his soul the hero of 81, "who never
even had favorable report from cons
mittee on any measure in Congress- -
had wilted. The auspicious moment
had come and gone-the opportunity
had fled. Together in the Gazette office
sat Cavanaugh and Maginnis, like Ma
ria's amid the ruins OF a Cart~house,
while Wilkinson gazed sadly on,
Like Patients on a monument,
Swallowing pills.
Slowly rising, Oar Delegate" recited
the following in melancholy, Congress

The Senior" descending. made the
original remark, sOlus-" He's sick and
tackled Maginnis." and then TO add a
little vivacity to the occasion, recited
the following in sepulchral chest tones
(" Not sigh for the lot that darkles.
