FOIGER

Judge Folger, the secretary OF the
treasury, was on the Goth nominated by
the republicans for governor OF New
York. The contest was between Folger
and Cornell, the present incumbent, the
former received the nomination Oh the
first ballot by a small majority. Judge
Folger is recognized al one of the purest
and ablest men III the empire state, and
his record both on the bench and in the
cabinet is one to which his party can
truly point with pride A Washington
dispatch of the 18th states that the books
of the treasury department show that
during the administration of Secretary
Folger. a period of ten months, the re-
duction oftle national debt amounted to
S126, 035, 600, and OF annual interest
charge s4,5l5, 756-a rather satisfactory
statement. New York is rightly classed
as a doubtful state, but it will take q very
strong democrat to defeat Judge Folger.
Ii successful III the race, and the pros
poets are very favorable, he will loom up
as 4 strong candidate for the presidency
in 1854.

We're making q move in that direction.
Benton is low one of the mostimportant
towns in the territory, ranking first in a
good many particulars; in the last two
years the country tributary has settled
up rapidly; the stock interests Of Cho-
teau county are scarcely second to any in
the territory; and in every particular
rapid advancement has Leen made-in-
surfing, we believe, the success of q stock
and agricultural society at this time.
The ground suitable for that purpose can
be secured almost as a gift at this time,
which in two or three years would cost
considerable money. This is the right
time to make the start, and even if the
exhibitions the first few seasons are not
on a grand scale they will st least result
in much good, paving the way for
greater results in the future. 1t is to the
interest Of the stockmen and farmers Of
Choteau and Meagher counties and of
the business men of Benton that we
should have q fair, and the RIVER PRESS
would like TO see the ball started.

Tilden Preparing to DIE.

New YORK, Sept. 14.-Mr. Iildsn
has been attacked by \ disease fron
which his physicians say he can not
possibly ecover. He may finger p
while, but his early death is a certainty.
The present trouble is disorder Of the
nerves, and i'll plain fact an incident In
the progress Of softening Of the brain.
A consultation of physicians has been
held and the hopelessnees of the case is
now understood alike by the medical
men and the patient. Mr. Tilden was
sometime ago made aware of the danger
he WIS in and the erection and decora-
ton of his magnificent new house in
New York city. We're meant by him for
. diversion 10 keep his mind from more
engroasing subjects. A gentleman in
intimate relationship to Mr.. Tilden says
that IN consequence of the development
of this necessarily fatal malady, he has
resignedly laid down his life work and
put himself III waiting for death. As
vet his mind il clear, but he has scarce
~ any control OF his nerves, and the
physician says that the brain, already
seriously affected, will speedily degen-
crate. He may live several months and
he may die within 4 week.

This is the largesta and for many reasons
the most difficult agency in the United
States to detect fraud in the management
of, if fraud exists. In addition to many

here . great political contest, in which
the agent and Red Cloud are the princi-
pal actors, and which will cause blood
shed unless settled soon. I hope to
effectually settle the trouble, but much
time and great labor will be required to

clerk to Major Tenneys paymaster, and
served with him through to the close of
the conflict. He then resumed his pro-
fession of journalism, and became iden-
fed as one of the brightest writers on the
Milwaukee Sentinel. His work there
attracted the attention of Storey, of the
Chicago Times, and Mr.. Botkin left the
Sentinel to assume the duties of city
editor Of the Chicago daily. There bis
work was appreciated, and he soon be-
came the managing editor of the Times.
When Senator Matt. H. Carpenter pur-
chased a controlling interest in the Mil
waukee Sentinel lie offered the chief
editorship to Mr.. Botkin, who accepted
the position. This was in 1875. He re-
manned as chief editor of the Sentanct
until 1873, when he resigned his position
on account Of ill health, and was APP
pointed United States marshal of Mon
tana by President Hayes. In the win
ter Of 1878, while in the line of duty, he
was caught out in a terrific snow storm
and from the effects of exposure suffered
paralysis of the lower extremities. He
was brought back to Wisconsin for treat
ment, but tired of delay in recovery and
insisted upon returning to his post.
Throughout Wisconsin he is one OF the
best known men that have been idelfti-
fled with the journalistic and political
history of the state.
