OUR N EXT SuERIEF,

It Is universally admitted that Mr.. J J.
Healy has, during his two terms OF office,
made one OF the best sherilfs, ii not the best
in the Territory, but it is probably not SO
generally known that Mr.. James McDevitt
was for q long time one OF Mr. Hea3y's
most trusted deputies, and was ilstru-
mental in working up Number Of impor~
tant and intricate eases during the time
that he was working with Mr.. Healy, and
we have the latter's authority for stating
that ElcDeyitt was not only one Of the
most faithful, but one ofthe most efficient
deputies that ever served with him.
Mr.. McDevjt5 is one ofour oldest citi-
zens, and was formerly associated with
Jas. Cassidy III the livery stable business,
and during his connection with the firm OF
Cassidy d5 McDeyitt his attention was
naturally attracted TO the organized band
OF horse thieves that at the time infested
the country, and TO the arrest and conFlc~
tion Of which he bent all his energies, and
manv unfortunates who are now serving
terms in the Deer lodge penitentiary can
testify to his zeal and success in bringing
TO Justice these scourges Of our then I'M
protected settlements. Horse tEieYing is
still practiced TO nm alarming extent in
this country, and we need just such
courageous and incorruptible sheriff as
James McDevitt has already practically
proved himself to be.
McDevitt's opponent on the Republican
ticket is not the kind of man this county
wants for sheriff. lie has had more than
one opportunity to prove his ability as
nublic officer and has failed to do so every
time, and whene leeted sheriff conscIentl-
Gus Of his inability to serve the public
compelled him to resign. We can only
conjecture that his desire to obtain the OF
flee of sheriff again is to give his brother,
Charley Rove. something to do,as Charley
was really the sheriff during Billyss short
term Of office. It is also stated upon good
authority that the Rowe Bros, being the
proprietors of the Overland Hotel, want
the Office of sheriff, in order to secure pat
ronage in opposition to the Grand Union,
which is about to open, and which will
probably draw . large amount Of custom
from the Overland.
The Rowe Bros. have no need Whatever,
| of the Office, being we'll fixed in this
world's goods, but simply want it because
they imagine there is money in it.

Al. HAMILT TON.

Our Republican friends assert that MIR.
A, B. Hamilton will represent [. &. Bak-
er & Co. III the next Territorial Legisia-
ture. thereby unWittingly admitting that
Mr.. Hamilton will certainly be elected.
We were not aware that /. G.. Baker had
any particular interests to represent IN
the Legislature. Mr.. VI. G. Conrad, one
Of the firm Of I. G. Baker & Co., formerly
represented Choteau county and made the
most satisfactory representatiVeever elect
ed from this county. Nothing was said
about representing his firm at the time OF
his election; but, on the contrary, many
fears were expressed that either business
duties or lack Of interest would keep him
at home. But kIr. Hamilton is no more q
member of the firm Of [. G. Baker & GO.
than OF Hirshberg & Nathan, Klein
schmidt, Murphy, Neel &c Co., orindeed
any firm from which he purchases goods.

is that Of purchasing goods for MS own

II. S. TFET'Z Ell.

If the Republicans Of Choteau admired
Mr.. WeatheWax as q county commissioner
they should at least be equally well pleased
with his old-time partner, Mr.. Wetzel,
who for years was associated in business
with Mr.. WestherWax, and is one Of our
oldest and most successful merchants. 1t
has been asserted by. the ridiculous organ
of the Republican party y at Benton that
d business man should not seek Office; but
if there is one class Of men more fitted than
another TO represent q business commu-
nity, it certainly is business men. A cat
tie owner may represent cattle interests, 2
farmer may represent agricultural inter
ests, but what industry is there in our
county that every business house in Ben
ton is not interested in sustaining? "A
merchant of ou1. town, hoWever, can have
no special interests of his own to further
in lis capacity as representative,
lit least none that would
prove detrimental to any other industry Of
the county. We therefore believe that
Mr.. Wetzel should be elected to take the
place Of Mr.. WeatherWax, and the latter
will doubtless endorse this opinion which
is based on a personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Wet2el for MANY years past.
