OR g dIIZdpTON.

The RECORD was established in the early
part of 1879. 1t claimed to be Of no po-
litical principles, fox the reason that it was
| pledged to support the domestic interests
Of Choteau county, and there was nothing
political that should have conficted with
the few industries then known TO the
county. Major Maginnis had proved
himself good friend to the interests of
Choteau and we advocated his reelection
Oh chat account alone and not because he
represented the Democratic party of the
Ierritoryin Congress.
THE so-called Republicans had sent a
man 10 Congress, who either sold him
self to the Ladian Ring OF was too incom-
Deten; to represent even his own personal
interests. But neither the Republicans
nor the I}3n9cra5s were 1T the time or
gaa1@d parties, and it is probable that
both parties arc to blame for such inconl-
petent representation. However that
may be, organization at present time
is necessary, il for nothing else than TO
advance tile prospects of the Territory to-
wards admission as {; State.
In his speech 1T Benton, Major Magin-
nisasseIted that, nnler a Democratic adj
n1iIiistration, The admission OF Montana
was only q question Of a few moments, be-
cause it was understood that Montana was
Democratic Territory, and for the same
reason it can never be admitted under Re-
publican rule It is, therefore, evident
that organization Of both political par
tics is essential to advancing the best III
terests Of the Territory, for whether we
have aIseDuDlicAn Or a Democratic admin
istration next term it is more than proba-
bic shat we shall apply for admission, and
our Success depends wholly upon the poll
tical character Of the party in power.
This issue is alone sufficient to justify
the thorough organization Of both parties.
and although Il step was made towards
it at the last election, neither Democrats
nor Republicans seem to realize what
thorough organization means. It means,
Of course, the thorough establishment Of
parties throughout the Territory; but local
issues should not figure too prominently or
there can be no organization worthy Of the
name. When we nominate q delegate we
nominate him for the whole Territory and
not for Chote&u, Deer Lodge, Or any other
county ii the Territory. Therefore, organ
izati0n means the union of interests, and |
every Democrat who desires to have q
party III Montana must forget his local
jealousies, prejudices and those which he
carried with him from his native State.
No State or Territory ever possessed .
better material for the organization Of
strong and useful party. But there are
;W0 clements in it that must harmonize
before either can become successful. There
IRE also two elements in the Republican
party, bat those can never harmonic.
While between those in the Democratic
party there are no vital issues, and the
petty ill-feeiing now existing should, and
Ecare satisfied will, be adjusted before
he next administration comes into power.

THE Herald stated a Gfew days ago that
Botkin received the votes Of the older set
Cled counties, and that Maginnis only re-

a floating population and purchasabe

certainly, one Of the Oldest settled counties

TIE LESSON or THE HOUR.

If President Arthur were a very ambi
tions man, the lesson taught the Republi,
can party by the thorough and complete
Democratic sweep all over the country
must have made him feel very uncomfort-
able. But it is said that the President is
not AL ambitious man, at least not so above
the average, and that he even prefers busi-
ness to politics. He is known to be a
very sensitive and honorable man, and
hence cannot be the unscrupulous politi-
elan that Blaine and some of his satellites
have been proven time and again. It is
therefore reasonable to suppose that Pres
ident Arthur can look upon the Republi-
can defeat with perfect equanimity, and
indeed, sls We learn, he is just now busily
engaged in negotiating a marriage with
the late Marshal @. Roberts widow, and
has no time between his hours of love-
making to feel concerned about the politi-
cal situation, knowing that, having full
filed his duties, as President, SO far as he
was able, he has nothing to fear even
from the total collapse of the Republican
party.
Arthur Is not usually considered one Of
the Republican leaders, but now holding
4 higher position than that Of any of his
conf1er8s we refer to him as the leader of
the stalwart wing Of the Republican party.
Since the death Of Garfield, Blaine has
uuquestionably held the reins over the
half-breed element and it would be curl
Gus to know just how he feels about the
Democratic victories. His characteristic
cg0tisEn may at first have caused him to
feel elated over what he 10 doubt con-
aielers the result OF mistakes OF Il stall
Wart administration, mistakes that he has
never failed t. bring prominently before
the people, ana which lie made the chief
subjects Of his late speeches in Maine.
Blaine, 10 doubt, thinks thatthe failure to
fer President, at the Chicago
was the first death-bIoW to
he Republican party. The next was the |
Heath of Garfield and his own retirement
rom the Cabinet. IF he does no. believe
his himself, he has at least tried to make
lis party so understand it, and also to un-
}erstand chat the country, or at least the
Republican party, can only be saved By
lis nomination Hi 1884, But If Blaine be-
ieVes that the late Democratic victories
re the sole result Of his management,

A BRISK TRADE IN BALTIMORE ON ORDERS
FROM LONDON BANKERS.
A Baltimore special to the Philadelphia
Times says:
An extraordinary demand has sprung
up here for Confederate bonds. In answer
to an inquiry Ms to what disposition was
made OF what Ia known to be worthless
security, Mr.. Cox. Of Smith, Cox Il Co.,
said he had not the slightest idea as to
what ultimately became OF the paper. lie
only knew that for some time past Ire had
been receiving large orders for the bonds
and that he now had an order for any
part or million dollars worth.
One day recently he bought over $500, 900
worth. His orders are from respectable
London clearinghouse, to whom they
are shipped. Prices have ranged from g
to S13 per thousand. At present they are
worth from $3.50 to $3.50, and a large
block brought 1915 day or two ago.
The orders are wholly for coupon bonds.
Letters are received from all parts Of the
South, some Of them quite amusing. The
probabilities and possibilities Of the future
OF the alleged securities are conjectured In
a grave manner. Many bonds are brought
that have been neatly framed, some have
been pasted on fre-boards and screens,
and one old gentleman brought in lot
which he desired to deposit as collateral
for q large loan, arguing that some day
they would he worth their face value.
Some OF the incidents are ridiculous, but
the fact remains that there Is q demand for
the bonds, and that they can be readily sold
at 80 for every 81 900 bond.
