tFrOm FoInt C0upee record.
We notice with pleasure that Gov.
Nichols has been elected attorney
of an insurance company in New
Orleans. This is a substantial recog-
milton of Gov. Nichols ability as
lawyer and OF his worth as a man.
It is a burning shame that this pa.
triot should have been so shamefully
neglected by the present admins
trati0n. Gov. Nichols took hold of
the helm when our State was in the
very midst of a terrific political
tempest and guided it safely into a
peaceful haven. He may be neglect
ed by time-seyers and professional
politicians, but he is still held in
high esteem and affection by the
good people Of this State, aud the
time will yet come when those who
did the hard fighting in the dark
days of reconstruction, will once
more triumphantly place Governor
Nichols in power.

That does very well for perora-
ton, General, but coming from the
champion Of aparty that originated
in sectional hate, and has never
fought or won battle bat by appeal
10 the sectional passions and predju.
dices Of the stronger against the
weaker section, it sounds like es-
sence of canting Hypocrisy. When
the people put their feet upon the
necks Of sectional partisans, and
everywhere drive from power and
place the party Of sectional hate,
your dream will be realized, but it
is only through your own downfall
that you can see the desired end.

Only once before in the history of
this country has one party held the
Presidency for twenty consecutive
years. The Democrats held it twen-
ty-four consecutive years under JEFF
ferson, Madison and Monroe-a pc
Rod which embraced the second
war with England. But the Demo-
Gratis might have held it for sixty
consecutive years if they had been
willing to steal the office as the Re.
publicans did in 1876.

Again it is limited that the Repub-
licans intend to have the Legisla-
ture of New York convened for the
purpose Of providing for the choos-
ing of Presidential Electors by Con.
gressional districts. By this means
they hope to secure the election of
about one-half Of the electors. It
happens that the Republicans have
the advantage of the Democrats in
this matter, the latter being unable
to retaliate. There is no State hav.
ing Democratic Governor and Leg.
islature in which the Democrats
could gain anything by such means.
The New York Republicans happen,
at this time, to be peculiarly favored
in this respect, if they are mean
enough to take advantage of the sit.
uation, or if they have the courage
to face the obloquy and take the
risks consequent upon a movement.
Through the detection of John Kel-
" and the Tammany faction of the
New York Democracy, the Republi.
cans were enabled last year to elect
their Governor and a majority in
both branches of the Legislature,
and now, though that State isunde.
niably Democratic, they have it in
their power to cheat the Democracy
out of one-half of the electors. But
will they dare resort to this sharp
practicef Ifthey do this thing they
will have to show their hand long
enough before the election to give
full effect upon the minds of voters
in other States to this contemplate
and cowardly proceeding, which will
be confession of their weakness
and their fears, as we'll as a proof of
their unscrupulousness and want of
common honor. But should the DC.
t0ber elections result unfavorably to
the Republicans, they may, in their
desperation, resort to this dishonor.
able and disgraceful trick in the
hope of saving their sinking Ship

Courtesy in Politics.

We do not believe any man ever
lost anything in the long run by re-
membering to be gentleman. In
business, in society, in politics and
even in religion more is accomplish.
ed by calm and courteous methods
than by rant and coarse denuncia-
ton; or even by abruptness and su-
perciliousness Of manner. In politics
is this especially true, and yet in re-
spect to no other interest are de.
partures from the reasonab bic stand.
ards of courtesy more frequent or
fragrant. Political feeling runs high
in every campaign, we are aware,
but no man is fit to take q leading
part in any party who cannot con-
troll his tongue and his temper and
plead his cause without resorting to
personal abuse, which generally in.
jures the accuser more than the &C.
cused. We would not have abuses
concealed OF excused. On the con-
trary, we would have them yigor.
ously, openly and Indignantly con.
demned; but We should remember
that language to be most vigorous
and convincing must be gentlemanly.
The farther public speakers can get
away from 'tsand lot" oratOry, and
the farther political newspapers can
remove themselves from the ssborder
ruffian" style Of Journalism, the
greater influence will they be likely
to have upon the minds of reasona-
bic and honest people. Chronic
scolds and political blaekgaards may
he entertaining or exasperating, ac-
cording to circumstances, but in q
political campaign they exert q de-
moralizing influence aud lower the
tone Of political discussion.

"Political unity" lisa good thing,
% long as it does not involve the

ceedingly fond Of goats; but when

1t is almost four hundred years
since the discovery of this continent
by the Spaniards, and the dreams
OF the swarm Of adventures who
flocked hither from the teeming
hives of Europe were gold and sill
yer with the forever Elusive phan.
tom Of the Fountain of Perpetual
Youth. The fountain, it is true, has
for all these centuries continued to
elude, but the glittering mines they
sought have in this practical age
been found to be a most substantial
reality. What Ophir can equal the
wealth that California for thirty
years has yieldedi What excel the
precious products of the mountains
of Colorado or the gulches and
placers of Montanaq
Montana possesses about three
times the area of New York, but its
production of gold and silver since
their discovery in 1862 is something
marvellous. In two years the yield
of gold in Alder Gulch rose from
500, 900 to s16,OOo,oOO with a yet
larger production in the following
years. Last Gulch, where Helena
is situated, has yielded mp to this
time over 800, 0OO, 900 in the precious
metals. There are over 500 gold
producing mines in the Territory,
and as the railroad approaches this
auriferous district, interest and ex.
element increases largely, while as
the more skillful and effective scien.
tiic processes are adopted for ex-
tracing the precious products, the
yield of these must necessarily in.
crease. Verify the Territory that in
1903 Napoleon sold the United
States Government for S15,OOO,OO

world began, but how little was this

GARFTELDts sLANDERERs.

The newspapers and Democratic speakers
who have for months PAST been besliming
General Garfeld's character must feel rather
mean and contemplate. They knew that he
was most respected by those who were most
intimate with him, and that numbers OF
prominent Democrats who knew him best
spoke in the highest terms of his integrity
and great talents. Yet a desire to win at all.
hazards led to a campaign of wicked SANDER
and base detraction, in which Ito their shame,
be it said,) some of those who had previously
spoken well of him lent hand These last
named will be very apt to keep at dis
tance from the man they have traduced.
Now that General Garfield is elected, these
maligners have nothing to show for their in
decent assaults excepting lost self respect and
party defeat. How long will it be before
they learn that campaign of principle al
ways wins against a campaign of lies and
ISLANDERS
On this subject, the Tribune makes this
comment:
Henry Watterson enjoys the distinction Of
being the only Democrat. of prominence who
had the courage to speak the truth about
General Garfield, and to stick to it during the
entire campaign. Now that the fight is over,
he says 1--WE declared early in the canvass
what we here take leave to repeat, that Gar
field is person of commanding intellect, of
voluminous experience in public affairs, in
capable alike of personal venality or fnalign-
ity, and capable of being and of wishing to be
just Chief Magistrate Mr.. Watterson.
unlike the rest Of the Democratic editors. sees
the wisdom of speaking the truth even of an
opponent. There is not a Democrat in the
land, who is at all acquainted with General
Garfield, who does not know that Mr.. Wat
terson speaks the unimpeachable truth.
