Gov. SaIomon's hsrrssgue was decided
" entertaining He beat the circus BY
odds. lie knew everything Tor ~ he
would pronounce it, evcryHny) abou,
everybody and every interest III the Ter.
ritory. Nature, by a wise provision, has
ordained that some of her creatures shall
not open their eyes till they are nine days
old. This time is given, perhaps, that the
brain may harden somewhat, and more
correct impression be made on the senses
when the world unftlJs itself to view.
But this Solomon is another sort Of fish
and wants no nine days. His head was
full long before that time. lie said the
people Of the Territory had no right to
anything from the General Government,
that all they got were mere 'favors, and
that a Republican delegate could obtain
more favors than Democratic delegate at
Washington. Thus has our Td,tonic
Governor rudely dispelled the deausion
so prevalent among the people that we
as American citizens had rights under the
Government. We pay as much tax, in
proportion to our population and wealth
as any other portion Of the country, and
we contributed as many soldiers during
the war. But all this is as mir, in the es-
timation Of our new Governor. He pro.
fesses to know everything about Garielde,
and told US all, who knew nothing about
him, what wonderful fellow he is. The
picture he drew Of "our Delegate"
weighed down by the cares ofstateys mere
ghost, "the shade Of shadow" a$truly
touching, and the big tears rolled down
the cheeks Of p. D., and the scene was
quite as affecting as that when cd fail er
Laws put his hands on that bald head and
blessed it as he received p. d. in full com.
munion in the Democratic fold. Solomon
told US that Gar6elde had more influence
in railroad matters than than any ten
members Of Congress, and ju<tsthc
broad smile, in fact it might have been
called grin, passed over everybody's face,
aud every eye looked, What mhoppcy !!
Warming with his subject, the Governor
added that Garfelde had more influence
than all the men together in Washington
Territory, and here Evans pride was
touched and he shook his head, and broth
or Elder bent low and gave deep sup
pressed groan. This twaddle was, in fact.
SO fulsome that it turned everybody's
stomach and was worse than q rough sea.
The Boilers came in for the greater
share Of abuse He said that he had Just
passed through the mill At Chicago, and
he had painful recollection of what such
movement was. The movement there
cleaned the Governor entirely out: The
allusion was very unfortunate, and dis.
played lack Of political sagacity that
keenly impressed US with the beneficeuce
of that nine days provision of Providence.
Chicago was the star Republican city of
the Union and rolled up majority for
Grant Of thousands. Solomon, with other
Republicans was elected to Office in Chi
cago, but the "ring" became so corrupt
that the people rose in might, anil hurled
them from power by a majority almost
past counting. The Chicago Tribune, the
leading Republican paper Of the west, dc.
nounced the Governor and his gang as
"barnacles." Their ridence was qucs.
ton Of life or death with the city. A'dark
pail hung over the city, and it was'as if a
pestilence stalked among the people. The
city spewed King Solomon out The
casting out Of Jonah by the whale was not
patching to it, and indeed the Asdve was
so immense that it projected him some
three thousand miles and landed him on
the shores Of "the finest body of water in
the world" If Chicago is poted for any
one thing, it is for her strong stomach,
and if We are to endure what she couldn' I
stand, We can but bow in humble resiyna.
