THE HOME OF THE KNOW NOT.
lNGS,

Our good looking evening cO.emporary &C.
cuples a column of its space TO prove that it
rests in blissful ignorance of the history and
purposes Of political parties in the United
States. That it has succeeded In its endeavor
will be readily admitted by those who have
enjoyed more favorable opportunities for be-
coming acquainted with the rise and progress
Of parties than it appears our %neigl,bor has
enjoy ed. Without attempting to assign a
reasonable cause for the def at of the three
foreisn-born gentlemen who were candidates
upon the republican ticket, it launches out in
"a TRADE against the MINER for UNFOLDING the
rights Of toreign-born citizens in free Amer
lea, and Silly accuses it of culrying favor
with them. The Inter Mountain then quoles
a plank in its county plattorm, stolen from
the platforms adopted by the democracy
throughout the Union i'll 1865, when it met
and i'll a deadly struggle overthrow the know
nothing party, which had sprung up like a
mushroom and threatened to suuvert or de-
slrOy the free Institutions of the country.
This victory over the intoierant spirit Of that
day was gained by the democrats before the
republican party Was organized or had a
name.
Upon its defeat the old know nothing party
formed the nucleus around which gathered "a
few OF the Old wings, the free sollers, the alb
ulitionists, :he free lovers aud all the tag enus
Of former parties aud uniting under tie
name of republicans, run john G.. Fremont
for president in 1856 and were again soundly
Lhrashed by the democrats. Since that time
the know l~ioIhin2s or native American eie-
ment has been a deadly foe of the
democratic party and has sheltered it.
seif i'll the bosom OF the republican party.
This is "a matter of political history patent
to its readers and he who would charge tlle
democratic party as aristocratic or as ti1ctur-
ed with acknowledgement, declares himself an
ignOramus of Tie first water. As It las
been the practice with The republican parry
in other counties so it will be its practice in
this. II will put Foreigners upon it, ticket to
catch the foreign vote, but The know nothing
element within the party Will slaughter them

TEs WORLDS FAIR.

From present indications there appears to
worlds fair scheme. Il lacks something to
give it life and vigor, but that something thus
far has not been found. After its original
conception it fingered for a long time, bols-
tered up by subscriptions obtained here and
there and kept from absolute obscurity by
interested notices in certain newspapers. a
quarrel ensued among some of its original
promoters in regard to the precise spot or
piece of ground upon which the buildings
should be located. This quarrel weakened
ping from sheer inability TO keep upon its
feet when its managers hunted up General
Grant and induced him TO lend his name to
the project. They made him president in
the hope that the confidence which his name
would inspire in the scheme would cali TO
It's aid sufficient influence and capital to in
sure its success.
But even the name Of General Grant was
not powerful enough to infuse much vitality
into the undertaking. The public did not

1t appeared to labor under the impression
that it was a scheme originated for the bene-

Of respect when the general talked about it,
but declined to take any stock in the under

&. psure OF 81 Montana Criminal.

The Ogden daily Pilot of last Monday, the
4th, has the following account of the cap
ture of a Madison county man, who is
known to some extent hereabouts .!Ben.
Westerdahl, marshal of Omaha, went east
yesterday with a prisoner in the person of
James Steven Mckinney, whom he captured
near Sheridan, Montana, and is taking to
Omaha for trial upon the charge of incest. 1t
appears that Mckinney has long been a min
ing man IN Montana, but spent the past win
ter in the east. He visited the house of his
sister in Kansas, and persuaded away her
daughter, Miss Ada l.. Shanks, a girl about II
years old. Getting to Omaha he lived with
her for a time, as man and wife, and then
cleared out for Montana. The girl could not
conceal the crime and the exposure brought
about the arrest OF Mckinney, and the testi-
mony Of his neice will doubtless send him to
the penitentiary for a term of years, while
$ e wi suffer the disgrace and shame which
makes her a mother. Mckinney was secured
against making his escape by heavy chains
attached to his ankles, and he seemed to be
much broken in spirit and to feel the certain
ty of punishment for his crime"

party.

The county election Is over. Its people
have declared their choice. They have select
ed those who are to administer their municip-
al affairs for the next twenty months. We
cannot tell at this early hour the names of
those elected. A gallant fight was made by
both parties. If the result prove that the
democrats are victorious they have the added
satisfaction of knowing that their victory was
won without sacrificing their honor as gentle
men. They will not be forced to hang upon
the walls of their memory a picture Of
descent TO Islander and Of personal abuse
Of opposing candidates to win their victory.
They come out Of the contest with clean
hands aud consciences void of ofiense against
their %neighbors and friends upon the republl-
can ticket. They have not attacked the
private character of men nor engaged in mud
throwing. Can the republicans s y as much?
Let us see. Early on the morning Of the
| election, a circular over the nom de plume OF
:Tax Payer" WAS scattered broadcast oyerthe
county, containing understandable charges
against Mr.. Lou p. Smith, the
democratic candidate for sheriff. l
is unnecessary to rnumerate those charges.
They were intended as stabs in the back, and
characterized as such by all honorable men. If
t c charges were tue they should have been
made openly aid above board before the
morning of the election. If they were SUI
posed to be based upon truths the author of
the circular had no cause to conceal his
knowledge until the morning Of election and
then spring them upon the public while Mr..
Smith was not present to refute them. With
Two republican journals in the city publicity
could be given of all legitimate matter of
which the public should be informed. But
the author of the circular and those privy to
1t were ashamed to convey their baseless
charges to the public ear through public chan,
nels. They resorted to the low, contempti-
BILE, cowardly method of secretly printing
and as secretly circulatin upon the morning
of the election what they knew to be false. Ii
was a cowardly attack upon a good man and
a good public officer, and bore upon its face
the imprint Of a dishonorable, malignant ant
craven author. The Inter Mountain has en-
gagged in some filthy mud throwing, and low
cred itself in the estimation Of. fair-mindet
men, but this'stink pot'of ajax Payer" is tn
dirtiest of all.

WILL. RUSSIA HAVE CONSTITUTION,

Henri Rochefort ironically predicts, in his
Paris mtransigeant, that Alexander Ill. will
giant Russia a constitution within twelve
onIhs IL would not have been strange had
he seriously predicted that Alexander Ill.
will be asSassinated within twelve months.
That lie will die by the hand of an assassin,
unless he prove wholly different from the
common estimate of his character, is more
probable than most things that al predicted.
But what if he does grant Russia a constitu-
ton? Is that certainly more than Alexander
III would have don had he not been muir
dered? The late car is known to have med
itated a modificatio II of his government to a
constitutional form, and he was by nature
more likely to effect such a reform than is his
son and successor. All accounts of Alexander
Ill. represent him as being a ~sterner, harsh
er, more %tyrannical man al. SO than his ather
was at 63. He is probably more disposed to
adopt a policy of stern repression than a
policy OF conclliation.
But it would be madness for the new car
to epdeavor to rule Russia by adopting Sc
we're repressive measures without some pro-
vision looking to constitutional government.
If he has any political sagacity, he will see
the impossibility of a successful reign upon
such a plan. Nay, more, he will see the al
most absolute certainty of assassination star.

commissioner. lii this event the democrats
have elected two county commissioner
-Messrs. Downes ) and Mar
chesseau--the treasurer, probate judge aud
coroner. The balance of the officers may be
conceded to the republicans. As the Inter
Mountain claims, the election has proved
/ Silver Bow county to be the banner republi-
eau county in the territory, it is a cause for
generalization on the part of the democracy
| that they have been able To wrest five , Ulcers
out OF the eleven from the hands of the DOM
inant party.
While the result of the election may prove
the county is republican, at the same time it
proves too much for the good name of the re-
publican party here. 1t proves it has no man
in the party with whom 1T dares trust the
care of the peoples money, and that it was
compelled to enter the ranks of the democrat
ic party to find a safe custodian of The pubic
funds. 1t also proves that while it would
confer a few simple executive offices upon
ZONE members of its party, it preferred 10

administration of the estates of deceased
persons to an adherent of the honest old dem.
ocratic party; and it furtherm"r re
proves that it was afraid to trust even
a dead man TO one of its own men,
bers. The election of a democratic
treasurer, probate judge and coroner is a fiat
terng tribute of respect which the republican
party has paid to the honesty OF the
democratic party. The honor is the more
priced when We take into consideration the
fact that the defeated. gentlemen who were
upon the republican ticket are the peers in
all the essential elements that constitute a
good officer, of their more fortunate brothers
The democracy may we'll feel proud of the
result Of this the first election in Silver Bow
county. What it gained it gained honestly
and fairly. Neither vliification nor bribery
was resorted to. Can the republican party
say as much? The MINER will take an early
opportunity to answer this question.

NEED FoREIGNERs AprLY-

In a recent article ON the republican party
we Stated that il was the home of the know
nothing party, and thatthe spirit of that party
which the democracy drove into the republl-
can ranks makes itself manifest in its refusal
to support foreigners for official positions OF
honor or trust. The recent elections prove
our assertions to be true. Two of the
republican candidates for county commission
els are said to be foreigners. One if not
both of them are defeated. The republican
candidate for probate judge is also said to bea
foreigner. He too was beaten. These de-
feated gentlemen are the equals in intelli-
sence and integrity of any other cand dates
upon the republican ticket. The reason is
too apparent why they were defeated. We
repeat: 1t has been and is still a matter Of
surprise why an intelligent foreigner will vote
for, or affiliate with republicans.

Senate. Garfield's appointments remain, un'

President Arthur, and Conkl:ng and Platt in
the senate, are vehemently protesting against

attorney-general, is equally in earnest in his

members of his cabinet. AS the situation
now looks, the retirement of both james and

Feeling themselves worthy of encouragement
therefore and relying TO an extent on the gem
