THURSDAY, -<oCToBER "a, 1873:
The political caidron is not kissing, seeth-
Ing and bubbling away as we had anticlpa-
ted 1t would by this time and it has been ac-
customed to at the approach OF previous
elections. Candidates are abroad in every
direction. and not a stone is being left I'M
turned by the opposing candidates IN places
where there is the least uncertainty as to the
result. But after all the world Wags on IN
It's quiet way and there is no noise, no hur-
rah, no excitement, which we cannot but
regard as an omen of good. The days of
taking things by storm, and voting men at
will, is fast dying out ia Ill Territory, and
we are simmering down to q quiet, com
nonsense. business-like manner Of doing
things. The majority Of our voters are
permanent citizens, have interests at stake
and are not easily swerved from a course
which their best interest SO plainly indicates.
And this is how W. account tor the qnlet,
and why we predict good results, for where
men are governed by sober reasoning, they
choose the men most fitted and most capa-
BILE of performing well the duty to be re-
duired of them.
In Deer Lodge county there has been a
faint effort made towards getting up Work

man undertakes the great work of a politi-
reform they should look well to the tunda-
mental principles Of party and see that they
are free from the abuses, errors, etc., by
which they are aggrieved. We find moth
ing in the Workingman's pletform OF Deer
Lodge county that is not claimed by both
the Republican and Democratic parties. and
like these, it is silent on the great questions
upon which issue should be made. Ii it is
freedom from Il demagogery that is sought,
third party movement is as often a failure,
for it frequently occurs that the leaders of q
third party movement are the worst dema-
gogues in the land. We care not for party.
These. in our estimation, have but little to
do with a judicious and economical admins
tration of our county affairs. Tax payers
must guard their own interests. And now
that the election draws nigh it is time that
every voter should make up his mind for
whom he will cast his ballet. Let everyone
examine well the record OF the candidates in
the field and choose the ones whose ability
and business integrity best fits them for the
positions to be filled. We want the best and
duct our public business. And intelligent
citizens will vote for none other. I

We suppose newspaper people have a
right to private grievance against the
new Tariff bill, as well as the iron men,
although it may not take the same direc-
ton. A ring of type-founders have been
Coddling Mr.. Wood for their private gain,
and propose to levy an additional tax
upon the 10000 printing offices of the
country, although they are already sufi-
GENTLY protected and are conducting bu-
siness on handsome profit The new
Tariff bill fixes the duty on news and
book type at 10 cents per pound, equal to
from 40 to 80 per cent. Gd vaLOrem, and
on job and fancy type, 80 cents per
pound, equal to from so to 120 per cent.
ad UalOrem, Under the present rates, the
tariff puts $4,000 a year in the public
Treasury; under the new rates, the tariff
would be prohibitory, not only stopping
the revenue, but raising the price of type
here by cutting off foreign competition.
That dozen type-fOunders, employing
but 700 men should be allowed to tax
10000 printing houses, employing 20O,-
600, for their own profit solely is little
steep.-EC.

WE learn from the Tribune that Mr..
Charles Foster, of Ohio, waited "bomb-
shell" into the Democratic ranks on last
Thursday. A Democratic colleague hav-
ing remarked that "he supposed Mr..
Foster was acquainted with all the per-
sons in the Government who had obtain
ed their places by fraud" Mr.. Foster re-.
piled instantly: "I am acquainted with
the Democratic Chairman of the Military
Committee" meaning Gen. Banning,
whose election is asserted to have been
secured through Eph Holland, the ballot
box stuffer. We have heard it asserted
that Mr.. Fosters particular friend, Mr..
Hayes, pardoned a man named Eph
Holland, convicted of stufing ballot
boxes. If there is any truth in the allie

JUST THE TRUTH.

The truth is that retribution has come
upon the Republican party with swift
ness and a force that is almost impossi-
bic to withstand, and the sarcasm of des-
tiny is seen in the fact that the hand that
deals the blow is the hand of him for
whose promotion to force and power, as
the representative of the party, a great
crime was committed. The conscious
ness Of this crime ranking in the breast
of every Republican who witnessed the
electoral frauds without a protest makes
the situation more critical. As man af-
ter man becomes alienated from the Ad-
ministration he falls into line with the
opposition and tries to calm his con-
science by condemning fraud even loud.
