gateship is the all absorbing theme, and to
hear the ''sn,all fry" politicians talk it
would seem that any aspirant who by fair
means or foul manages to "jump" the
Democratic nomination is sure Of an cleo
ton to Congress. These witlcss tyros in
politics forgot that in a period Of ten years
tho Territory has been carried on but sim
gle occasion by the Democracy, and then
partially owing to tho fact that the Repub-
licans had placed crazy person in nomina-
ton "A their candidate. Let wise counsels

can be carried for the Democracy, but lack

The Prospective Radical Nominee.

The tone of the Republican press-wlth
the exception of the organ started by Gar
felde himsclf-taken in connection with
the contentious witnessed in every comfy
where the record of the prospective nomi-
nee is known, give indubitablc evidence
that he will not receive the support Of his
party in any county where the issue has
as yet been presented. lie has played a
bold game, knowing full we'll that it is but
seldom it can be made to win even under
the most favorable circumstances. The
result of his packing the Democratic con-
ventions few years ago, so as to secure his
own nomination, must impress him with
some fearful misgivings. The frauds, in
the present instance, arc even more glazing
than then, and cannot be hidden by all the
cunning sophistry for which he is noted.
If he rides the party, and he has it already
"sinched" and his hand on the rein it
will be along the verge ofaprecipice, upon
a spiking cayuse, with thousand chances
to one of his going over. But Garfcldc
never has been noted for political sagacity.
Lauded and flattercd by his body guard,
his oratorical powers magni6ed until he
imagincs himself vcritablc Daniel Web
ster, he never can take an impartial view Of
the political situation, when his own ag-
grandizcmcnt and glory are held up to
view. He takes hand at political Chi
canery just as he docs one at cards, and
if he can make his advcrsaries yiel6 the
not under the impr ession that he holds a
handful oftrumps, when he indeed holds
but few deuces and other cards Of low de-
gree, he carries his point, without even a
call. In this, he may have unparalleled
success at the gaming table, where bluff
constitutes the chief merit of the game, but
he should abandon all hope Of successfully
introducing the system in politics, however
much experience may have fitted him for
undertaking such task.
His record, as known to our people
what is it? What was his record as Re-
cciver of public Moneys, the first position
he held in the Territory? What have
his professions of friendship ever been
worth, when conflicting with his selfish dc.
sires? He has successfully been the friend
and foe of every successful man in his own
party. What was his record, as the expo.
nent of the principles Of his present party,
from 1860 to 1868? Was it pure, disin.
terestcd patriotism, or the promise Of Office
and money, which induced him to twice
stump the Territory for the prevailing
party? WHAT'S the character Of his moot
intimate associates now? He has been a
preacher Of the Gospel and Good Tenn
plar. Do his practices indicate sincerity
in either relation!
If Gar6clde is to be the milestone to
sink the Radical party, it only behooves
consistent Republicans to see that their
heads are not in the sling when it goes
down. For the credit of tho Territory,
aside from all party considerations, we
would faiu have the people saved the dis
grace Of being represented by man so lost
to every principle cherished by humanity.
