JOHN d. PAPLM.

John D. Parlin, the republican
nominee for Representative from the
counties of Lake, Gunnison and Chat
fee, is native Of Norridgenock, Me.
where he was born in 1892, and is
now in his fiftieth year. With that
spirit of energy and enterprise which
is leading trait, Mr.. Parlin lett the
old Pine Tree state for the golden
shores of California, where he arrived
in 1855. To become identified with
the leading industry of the country
was second nature, and within ten
days after his arrival he was actively
engaged in mining. Pursuing his
chosen avocation with varying success,
he removed to Kansas in 1870, and
again removed in 1874 to the Gunni-
son country, where he has since re-
sided, and where he has carved our Of
the wilderness a beautiful home. He
is en- ee.mrinently qualified for the posi-
tion to which he has been nominated,
h |haavipg. pg.fredl had in early life the educa,
i lloaa}a so aadiyaannttaage isantaag which New England
affords her citizens, and having for
several years been a leading member
Of deliberative bodies. The conven-
ton in nominating MIR. Parlin, acted
wisely, and we congratulate the party
Of our representative district that the
gentlemen selected to fill the position
merits the support of everv voter, and
it gives us pleasure to note that at
home, where he is best known, Mr..
Parlin has the entire confidence of his
neighbors, associates and friends for
HIS uprightness, honesty of purpose
and integrity of character.-Lea95yAs

Of the charge we refer to our adver-

We pronounce the statements made
by Milburn, relative to the citizens of
Ruby Camp and the PILOT, as william
Gus lies made from whole cloth. The
Tribune in publishing them has done
itself great injury. and if it con-
tinues the publication of such balder-
dash from lunatics at large, even if it
is written gratuitously, in short time
it will not have reader in Gunnison

VIVA T HE THINKS.
Editors Of tie Pilot:

One year ago l had in my employ,
in smelling mill, at Leadville, Jas.
Edgely and his father. They were re-
liable and good workmcn. No more
generous hearted man could be found
anywhere than Jim Edgely. He was
not the kind of man to make or have
enemies. He would share what he
had with anyone in need, and was a
most companionable man with all the
workmen. If the Edgely brothers
were not killed by Breckenridge, who
did kill them? Not the Indians. They
never take the trouble to bury anyone.
What was the motive that prompted
the murder? Not malice or revenge,
for they had no enemies. 1t can hard
ly be believed that Breckenridge
bought all their outfit, and some one
knowing they had received money for
the same, murdered them for tha,
money. And is it likely supposi-
ton that men out in a wilderness
prospecting would dispose of their
animals, equipments and arms? There
may have been lack of testimony be-
fore the grand jury, but if Brecken-
ridge did not kill the Edgelys, his
is one of the most improbable cases of
innocence on record. c. H. M.

surveying party which is cncamped

will move into the reservation at some
point on the Grand and Gunnison

which is said to have been duly signed

Ruby Camp will poll more votes
this fall than any other precinct in
Gunnison county. Politicians are
aware of this fact and have already
commenced getting their work in on
the voter. The best speakers of both
parties, in different parts of the state,
are expected here shortly to address
our people. The campaign promises
to be a warm one here, and it will be
nip and tuck between the democrats
and republicans.

Majority for Washburn. .... sos
1t was decided by the supreme court Of
the State of Minnesota, July 20, 1878, in the
case of the State ex rel. Lindholm vs. Park
or, that the county of Big Stone was not an
organized county; inasmuch as the legisla-
ture had never passed an act declaring it Or
ganized. The court held that neither an
act defining the boundaries of a county, nor
the vote of the people therein electing
county officers, constituted county organ
ized the legislature must recognize the &C.
ton of the people by explicitly declaring it
an organized county. The counties of
Douglas, Kanabec, Lake and Otter Tail are
in the same condition as the county of Big
Stone. Mr.. Washburn did not produce any
statute to show that the legislature had ever
declared either of them organized. 1t fol-
lows that if these counties are not organized
counties there can be no county offices in e1-
istence therein; and that those who claim to
have canvassed and returned the votes of the
counties had no power to do SO; nor can
there be any legal election precincts therein.
But your committee are not disposed to take
technical view of this matter, and although
we are of opinion that the counties
in question are not legally organized,
nevertheless as the votes returned are con-
coded to have been actually cast therein, and
there is no charge of fraud, we have con
Guided that the four counties last named
should be regarded as de facto organized
counties SO far at least as election purposes
are concerned. We also admit the vote cast
in the unorganized county of Big Stone. for
the reason that it is admitted by contestant
that the vote was actually cast; and there is
no charge of fraud in connection Herewith.
We therefore admit the votes of these IN
organized counties. They give majority
for Mr.. Washburn of sos.

SALTWATER,

Manager Fredericks, of Opera hall, played
the Big -Four Minstrels in Hudson last night.
The dance given by the Temple of Honor
Wednesday night drew together large num-
Der of the votaries of the Terpsichorean art.
The enjoyment of the participants was un-
alleged, everyone having good time.
The Big Four Minstrels played to pack
ed house Wednesday night. The audience
was convulsed with laughter from the begin
ming to the end, and their appreciation Of
the entertainment was expressed frequently
in applause. ALI the jokes had the charm of
being new. Everyone expressed themselves
as delighted with the entertainment, and
should the Big -Four conclude to return here
again they will be greeted with full house.
A suit is about to commence in the Wis
consin courts at Hudson, in which G. N. Nell
son, Samuel Matthews and David Tozer fig
ure as compliments, and the st. Croix Boom
corporation as defendants. The suit is
brought for damages claimed by the plaintiffs
for damages sustained by having their logs
kept in the boom during the season of 1878.
The boom was shut down that season on &C
count of low water. The outcome of the
suit will be looked for with interest.
Isaac Staples for some time past has been
thinking of completing his block on Main
street by extending it to Myrtle street. His
idea has at last assumed shape, and plans of
building drawn similar in design to the
other block. In order to erect the building
it will be necessary to remove the wooden
buildings now on the ground. Mr.. Staples
desires permission to remove the wooden
buildings to his property on Main street op-
posite the First National bank, 80 that the
business now carried on in those buildings
can be conducted without loss while the
new block is being constructed. A special
meeting of the council was called last night
to decide upon granting Mr.. Staples permits
sion to remove the wooden buildings to his
other property. 1t is to be hoped that the
council will grant the request. The new
block will be decided ornament and I'M
provement to the city and give much needed
store and Office room. All legitimate en-
couragement possible should be given those
who are enterprising enough to erect bust
ness blocks in our city, and Mr.. Staples de-
serves such encouragement.

Especial Correspondence of Daily Globe
WABAsHAw, March 16.-Dr. John Dillon,
the co-laborer of the Hon. G. S. Parnell,
spoke here last night to large audience in
Hershey hall. The mayor, DR.. Mulligan,
presided, and the following members of the
city reception committee occupied seats on
the platform Hon. VIM. L. Dugan, Hon.

The Wabashaw cornet band discoursed
sweet music during the evening The
speaker of the evening was enthusiastically
received, and was listened to with the great
est attention. After describing the famine
now spreading in Ireland he pictured graph
ically the causes which have brought about
the unfortunate condition of the tenant
farmers described the operation of tho land
laws and the tyranical oppression of the peo-
pie under the system which the Irish land
league now seek to destroy. He charged the
government and the landlords with being re.
sponsible for the famine, and quoted from
the correspondent of the New York Tribune
in proof of the fact and of the business of
the land agitation. He then described the
working of the land league to
the manifest interest of the au-
dlence, who applauded the mention
of the measures adopted by the tenant farm
ers of the land league to defend themselves
against rack rents and capricious evictions.
After addresses by John B. Williams of
lakewood and G. M. MacCarthy of st.
Paul subscriptions were called for and met
a liberal response the result of the meeting
reporting over $200-in addition to the sum
of $3.50 already collected by the committee
for the land league relief fund. A week
ago collection was taken in the churches
ministered to by the Rev. Father Trobec and
met most liberal response the result be-
ing that his district of Wabasha county
sends nearly $1,000 on its errand of mercy
to Ireland. This most worthy result is due
to the efforts of the Rev. Father and the ac-
tive exertions of the members of the COM
mittee, who have demonstrated their appre-
citation of the cause of suffering Ireland.
Mr.. Dillon expressed himself as we'll pleased
with his reception in Wabashaw and after
being the recipient of the personal courtisies
of the committe departed on the night ex-
press for Waseca.

THE report of the House committee
PROVES that Washburn bought his seat.
1t follows that if he had not bought his seat
he would not have received the "official''
majority. 1t further follows that if money
had not purchased this "official' endorse
ment his opponent would have been elected.
In other words, that Mr.. Donnelly aoas

The New York Sun devotes five full col
umns to a biography of Judge David Davis
aproPos of his candidacy for the Office of
President. 1t is very good biography, and
will no doubt please Judge Davis and his
friends immensely. 1t will also prove useful
in case that gentleman should, by any chance,
carry off the nomination at Cincinnati. The
Democratic party could certainly find no
more irreproachable candidate than the pom
derous Senator from Illinois.

| Watkins, the present husband of Alice Oates,
came to the Enquirer Office this afternoon for a

offense at an anecdote published in this morn
ing's Enquirer, headed, ''They Didn't Drink
| From the Same Canteen" The article read as
| follows:
Manager Bob Miles enjoys joke hugely. satur-
day morning he was standing at the entrance of the

greetings Of the day, Bob remarked
| "Pm glad you've come just now. Pm waiting for
a friend who is to drink bottle of wine with me.
i You can go with u.s."
| "Deighted I'm sure" responded Mr.. Watkins.
In about minute he queried:

Mr. watkins bit his lips, pulled out his watch sud-

Watkins then put his hand in his hip pocket

The Democrats (assumed) who have gone
on record as champions of Bill Washburn
ought to feel proud about these days. If any
of the "high toned" papers pretending to be
Democratic, which have been supporting
Washburn did not secure their pay in ad-
vance, their chances are slim. But then
they can have the satisfaction of being "high
toned" from Republican standpoint.

THOSE pseudo Democrats whose member
ship in Republican rings, or whose personal
hostility to Mr.. Donnelly has led them to en-
dorse Mr.. Washburn, now have an opportun-
ity TO judge of the issue they have raised.
They have joined issue with the honorable
men of the party they have sought to use
their alleged membership for betraying, and
have chosen to endorse Republican rascality
or, more properly speaking, Washburn ras-
cality-in its vilest form. The GLOBE rele-
gates them to the pleasures of self-com-
rnnninn
