The effect on Booth was terrible.
He raved like mailman, and in
his frenzy swore that Lincoln and
Seward should beth pay for the
grief and agony he had been put
to. From the death of Beal, Booth
brooded over schemes of vengeance
for that which he considered a per-
sonal affront. His rage took in
Seward, and he engaged Harold,
Atzeredt and others to avenge
BeaPs death by killing Seward,
while no (Bo0tb) wreaked human
vengeance on the President. At
last came the hour. Booth killed
Lincoln. His friends and the rela-
tives or avengers of Beal, tried
their best TO kill Seward, but
failed. Such Is the true inward
ness of one of the most startling
tragedies of modern times.

Bannack, I will go to Butte or some other
lively place, and will steer clear of .'tempor-
ary'' railroad terminuses like Dillon.
The people of Beaverhead county will
weigh this removal question well, and then
reject the proposition at the polls. The time
has not yet come to remove the county seat,
and the tax payers OF the county, aside from
ssthe Dillon town company,') will oppose
putting the county seat on wheels. Wait I'm
til the proper location of a permanent county
seat is marked out and established, anG then
make the change. Not until then. In the
name of common sense-in the name of JUS
tice-in the name of economy-do not send
it to dying Dillon.

majority of the board of its county commits
sioners were republicans. With that reck-
less disregard of the interests Of a county
which has always characterized republican
administrations, the republican commission
ers in six years increased the debt of that
county from about 5000 zoe to over $4,000.
The people, now thoroughly alarmed,
changed the political complexion of the board
in 1877, and the democrats assumed control
of the county business. The first year they
decreased the county Indebtedness $21 ,1O4.44.
Since 1877 the democrats have had a MAORI
ty on the board and Lewis and Clarke coun-
ty warrants have appreciated from 80 cents on
the dollar to IS cents OH the dollar.
Again, we will take Deer Lodge county, as
it stood before the division. We understand
that for the last four years the republicans
have had a majority on the board of county
commissioners. Let us now see what they
have done as republicans to subserve the in
terests of the county. In 1877 the debt of
Deer Lodge county was $47, 174 81. On
March l, 1881, it was $66,346.65 an increase
of nearly $4,000. 1t will be remembered
that during the county division discussion we
showed hat the people of the county had
paid over a quarter of a million dollars in
taxes into the county treasury during the last
three years. Now adding the increase of in
debtedness to the amount of taxes collected
and we find that a republican board of coun-
ty commissioners have used about $275, 900 in
running old Deer Lodge county three years.
Our people, to free themselves of the burdens
imposed upon them by what they considered
the wasteful extravaganza of a republican ad-
ministration of county affairs, prayed to be
set apart from the old county, which prayer a
democratic legislature heard and favorably
answered. Having now, as it were, thrown
the "Old man of the Sea" from their should
ers, we do not believe our people are prepar-
ed to take him on again in the shape OF re-
publican officials for this county. 1t was an
idle, inconsiderate pen that wrote that little
plank in the republican platform which the
foregoing exhibition skaters into Insignificant
splinters. The balance of the platform is
composed of stereotyped generalities full of
sound but devoid of sense, and, therefore, not
worthy of a moments notice. We pass it
along for the use of the next county republic
can convention.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

We cannot permit the reckless assertion
embodied in the platform adopted by the re-
publicans of Silver Bow county at their late
county convention to pass unchallenged. The
statement s'that the municipal history of the
counties Of this territory under democratic
rule is one Of humiliation and may be wit
messed in the depreciation Of county bonds
and warrants" is not only unjust to the dem
ocratic party, but is at total variance with
facts and barren of g single element of truth.
To prove this it is only necessary to turn
back and read a few leaves of the history of
the territory and of each county in it. The
first legislative assembly that met at Bannack
was organized by the republicans who inau-
gurated the first raid upon the treasury of the
then young territory. This raid was in the
shape of an extra compensation law which
provided that each member of the legislature
should receive an extra compensation Of SIP
per diem to be paid out of territorial funds,
besides the 81 per day that the government
allowed. Subsequently when the Democrats
obtained control of the legislature, they re-
peaied the law but, through the efforts of
Col. Sanders, the stalwart of the party here,
all the laws of that session of the legislative
assembly in which appeared the repeal of the
Odious extra compensation law, were de-
clared null and void by a republican congress.
The result of this action was the debt of the
territory increased to an alarming extent and
its warrants ran down to a merely nominal
figure. During the session of II and '72,
the democrats being again in power in the
legislature, they cut down the extra compen-
sation from SIP to So per diem. Territorial
warrants at that time were selling at 90 cents
on the dollar. Let us see low we stand now.
The democrats have controlled the legislator
of the territory for years. Not a thieving bill
has received their votes. The warrants Of
the territory are at par; its bonds at a premi.
um; it is out of debt, and its credit ranks a;
high as any state or territory in the Union.
The democratic administration of the affairs
of the territory speaks volumes in favor Of
the purity, sagacity, prudence, honesty and
economy of the party. 1t is a monument
more enduring than marble, that t~estifies t.
the f~aithfulness of democrats to the Interests
Of Montana. The same qualities that hay,
shaped the policy of the party in conducting
the affairs of the territory have entered int
and stamped themselves upon the admins
tratIon OF county business where such bust
ness has been entrusted entirely to the hand
of democrats.
In 1871 the republicans obtained control Q

is 800 feet high and about one mile
in diameter at its basin and is situated
in the center of Occur d'Alenc valley.
On the side of this mountain is an old

BRENTz ON ADMISSION.

Somehow the report has gained cir

not suit him, and for that reason he
would not aid it, it he did not pos
lively fight, themeasure. 1t is motor
iously true that as the apportionment
now stands, Western Washington has
been favored beyond her just rights, in
view of several facts, chief among
which is her lack of voting strength,
compared with Eastern Washington,
but while thi, is true, it does not JUS

fed that he does not think it does in
jeopardizing our interests by using his
influence to defeat the admission. The
proper place to correct I'll this, is in
the legislature or in congress- From a
letter just at hand from Delegate
Brentz, we are confident that the re.
port is untrue and that he will do all

in his power to further our interests.
