The SIaIwart Raid on Democrat
ic States.

Special to the Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, December l0.-As
stated in last nights dispatches, it is
the intention Of the Administration to
try and break Democratic rule in the
Southern States, following up the
success of the movement in Virginia.
As a confirmation Of hat statement,
it may be mentioned as a political
fact that arrangements are now being
made to wrest Tennessee and West
Virginia from the Democracy. The
whole bent of the Stalwart element Of
the Republican party aud of the Ad
ministration will be in that direction.
The cry has gone forth that Tennes
see must be captured by the Repub-
%licans, and every effort is being made
to induce the fulhllment Of that de.
mand. The Stalwart wing of the Re.
publican party is rallying to it all
that the Stalwarts and Administration
can do to secure the overthrow Of
the Democracy in Tennessee will be
accomplished without scruple. It's
also a noticeable fact that
the Stalwarts are pattiDg Emory
Speer, of Georgia, on the back
and urging him on IN become the Ma
hone Of Georgia. But it is to be
placed to the credit Of the political sa
gacity of the Stalwarts and the Ad-
ministration that they do not expect
any immediate fruits from Georgia
they only want Mr. Speer to inaugur
ate the endeayor. Their first OBJ
%jectiye point is Tennessee, and aftel
that they propose to pounce upol
Arkansaw, and then, if successful
they will devote themselves to othe.
States, being guided in their action b.
the consideration as to where tn
chances, carefully weighed, seen
best.

breaking, 1908 corruptionists to
charge that the Low Tax party is
prompted By no higher motive than an
aspiration Tor official position. The
history Of that party, as every member
Of the State Convention ofl880 knows,
gives the unqualified lie to such a

convention proffered to yield every

considered Democracy but two years
before) that any settlement made
should be submitted to the peo-
pie for ratification. They asked
no Office, presented no man to the
convention for Gubernatorial honors,
and %proffered to submit to any figure
the convention might adopt as a basis
of settlement, and remain in the o
vention If it would but reafirm the
submission plank Of 1873. This is a
truth we'll known by every man Of
that convention. Then the charge
that they only thirst for Office in this
opposition to the 1908 swindle, and

THE BLUE WING DISTRICT.
items from one OF the OLD Silver DIS, r,c.s
Of Montana,

A correspondent sends us a letter mention
tioning the work and prospects of the old
Blue Wing silver district in Beaverhead IL
ty, from which we compile the following
items:
Work in the Blue Wing district is not
pushed with any remarkable degree of vigor
at present. There is some work going on
and the prospect that the old district will re-
vive to its former prosperous condition is
quite favorable.
Messrs Browne & Clayton, of Butte, are
opening the New Departure deeper than the
mine has been developed before, by driving a
tunnel to tap the lode. They purchased the
mine of G. w. Stapleton, and when the tun-
mel IS finished will have it in shape to work
and explore it in a thorough manner. The
New Departure has produced heretofore a
large quantity of No. 1 shipping rock, some of
the shipments paying 5000 per ton. In the
old workings some good grade ore is in sight.
Messrs. O'Leary Il Wilson, working the
Blue Wing lode, have it opened by tunnel
and shaft, and they are taking out ore that
oaHipieS ooo ouiiCeS per tOl Wien SOTleu LOT
shipping. They have several car loads out
and considerable of it sacked up and ready to
be hauled to the railroad. a distance of about
fifteen miles in a direct line frsm the Blue
Wing district.
Sam. Bachelor has a fine prospect in the
Huron mine. At the west opening of this
mine, at a depth of So feet, a large vein of
high grade ore is in sight, and can be easily
mined and::hoisted out. From the Huron much
shipping ore has been taken out and there are
many tons now ready for hosting. This ore
samples iron, 800 to 400 ounces per ton, aud
shipments have been made that melted those
figures.
The Delmonte mine has been worked 27C
feet deep and has produced rich ore from the
surface down two hundred feet below watel
level. Messrs. Sears & Roe now own tn,
mine and if they put up pumping and hoist
ing machinery the Delmonte could easily b.
placed in a paying condition again. Til
last shipment OF ore sold for $500 per ton.
On a number of other lodes in the 'distric
considerable work has been done lately
Messrs. Sleger X Williams have been opening
to some extent a claim, and work of openin
and representing has been performed b
