Corpus for His Client.
Mr.. John G. Bgelow, counsel for ex-sergeant
John A. Mason, who was sentenced to Albany
penitentiary for shooting at Guiteau while on
guard at the Jail, has returned from Utica, whittier
he went to present petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. Judge Coke, of the United States circuit
court, directed the writ to issue on MIR. John Nc
Even, warden of the Albany peniteptiary, COM
manding him TO produce the body of Mason be-
fore him at Utica on October2. Mr. Bigelow feels
jubilant over the success of his move, and stated
10 REPUBLICAN, reporter that he was confident of
securing Masons ultimate release. His grounds
for this belief have already been published in
The REPUBLICAN,. This is an additional triumph
for Mr.. Bigelow, as when the Iiddy Bros made

IT is generally supposed that the dele
gates toa political convention represent
the sentiment of the party so far as the
duties Of the delegates extend. At the
Butte convention a majority Of the re-
representatives. of the party in attendance
by q good majority declared Col. Wool
folk the choice of the convention for
delegate to congress, showing by the
generally accepted rule that Mr.. Wool
folk was, in fact, the choice of q majority
Of the people as expressed by their repre-
sentatives at the convention. But Mr..
Voolfolk come forward with 8 new and
strange doctrine. He tells the delegates
fresh from the people and representing
their vieWs-that they have made a
grand mistake. They know nothing
about the wishes Of the people, and Mr..
Voolfolk proceeds to tell them all about
it. In other words, he sets himself up
az knowing more on the subject than q
majority Of the delegates, and informing
them that Maginnis is the peoples
choice declines.

WOOLFOLK,s EXPLANATION.

Saturdays Iadepeaedeast contained a
lengthy explanation of the mysterious
methods of the Butte convention, the
article being from the pen of Col. Wool
folk. The following is an extract:
1T was well known that Mr.. Magln-
mis- had two years ago publicly declined
to be a candidate for reelection and that
he construed his public utterance to
mean that he would not suffer his name
to go before the convention, while It had
another candidate before 1t. When,
therefore, the delegates favorable to his
nomination, found that lhercandldates
would be in the field, they had to choose
between the alternative Of blocking the
convention by the nomination OF several
candidates, or permit the will OF more
than three-fourths of the convention to
be de.eated by less than one-fourth.
Acting under this BELIEF the Lewis and
Clarke delegation resolved TO nominate
the editor OF this paper. OF course We
appreciated the compliment of such a
nomination coming to us unsolicited, as
it did, but we understood it to be me.ey
a compliment. We were fully ware
that the Oh. ect Of the nomination was
simply to prevent the will OF the people
from being defeated by the candidacy Of
one or more ambitious aspirants, and
although not q candidate we were will
ING to place ourselves in the hands ofour
friends to achieve the object in view
The construction put upon Mr.. Magin-.
MIS- positive assertion that he would not
be a candidate for reelection is q re-
markable one, to say the least, but even
accepting it, the proceedings of the con-
vention will show that there were two
am before the convention when the
gag law was inforced, ard Maginnis
nominated unanimously (113 to AZ.
He accepted the nomination with other
names before the convention and with
one-fourth of the delegates bitterly op-
posed to him.
Further along in the extract given,
Col. Voolfolk admits that his nomina-
ton was but q fuse, 8 masquerade,
a political trick in the interest Of
Maginnis and to squelch the lone or
more ambitious aspirantso who stood in
the way. Mr.. Voolfolk candidIy adj
mits that he placed himself ..in the
Of his friends to achieve the OBJ
iect in viewn--that is the nomination of
Now, il Mr.. Maginnis will
equal candor and admit that he, as
grand mogul, had a knowledge Of the
conspiracy, and in fact was the head and
front Of it, two important points will be
cleared up at the beginning Of the cam

Welcome home, Pansy.'
Dapplevale was at its Irettiest this
sweet June day as it nestled costly
among the hills that lowered above it on
every side. Down in the shady glen
where the village church stood, almost
hidden by the cypress trees whose great
boughs of green We're swept carelessly
against the sides of the modest structure
Pansy Perkins was standing, and as
Ethelbert Pettingill spoke the words
with which this chapter opens her face
lighted up with a radiant 2x4 smile that
wa beautiful in its sad expanse of terri
tory.
"Come to me-, Pansy,n he said.
It was EtheIbert's voice, tender, gen
tie, that spoke, yet with something in
it's tones that made the girl pause in her
excited feverish walk up and down, and
she pressed her hands to her t%hrobbing
temples, looking at him with large,
bright pathetic eyes. But he stretched
out his hand and she came to him. He
passed his arm around her waist and
held her TO his breast a moment in ST
lence.
Presently Pansy spoke. 1T 10 very

THE NOMINATION OF MAGINNIS

The following extracts showing how
Maginnis' nomination was brought about
and in what manner it was made "unani-
NOUS are from the Butte Inter-Moun-
tain and are full worthy Of perusal:
The motion to suspend the rules and
declare Maginnis the nominee Of the
convention by reclamation was put to
the house. Before voting. Mr.. Robinson
said he was sorry to see such WTangling,
flibustering and skirmishing. 1t would
require a tWo-thirds vote to suspend the
rules. In conventions the majority con
trolls, but the action of the majority
should leave the minority withouta grie-
vance. While the name of another
gentleman was before the convention no
attempt should be made to force Magin-
MIS- name upon it. BY such a proceed
ing the republican, party would be GER
tain of success. The democratic party to
succeed should be governed by fairness
and honestv. If they do not, neither
money 9 anything else can secure a
d mocratic victory. He warned the
democratic pa ty against making 9 NOM
ination in a spirit savoring SO strangely of
unIairness and dishonesty. He could
neither tolerate nor sanction such q
shirt. He was a friend OF Maginnisand
the democratic party. But the n ,mina-
ton should not be sought in any such
manner The speaker entered O protes t
against the nomination Of Maginnis
while there was another name before
it. If there are not other names before
it, it is because the frit nds of other me n
than Maginnis have been prevented
placing them in nomination by an ar
bitrary ruling of the chair. 1t was q
dangerous precedent to establish, and
again warning the convention against
such d proceeding, Mr.. Robinson voted
an emphatic no.
Mr.. Robinson arose after the announce
ment of the result of the ballot and said
it was his first, and he hoped it would
be his last experience for years to come
in a political convention. HeWould not
bssmirch himself by participation in
such a meeting. He respectfully declined
having anything further to do with the
convention as a delegate and withdrew
from the hall.
The proceedings showed the most in
harmonious convention Montana has
ever known. A man not the choice Of
the people has been forced upon them.
The better element Of democracy is
thoroughly disguised at the corrupt and
underhana manner in which q nomina-
ton was made, and a lesson will be
taught the parties to the scheme in No
vember that will have a salutary effect,
and they will learn at a late day and to
their utter discontinue that III politics
as in other affairs, honesty is the best
policy.

reason.

The Indians and ~halfbreeds that at
tempted to keep white settlers out of the
Turtle Mountain country have been
brought to time. When the troops ar
rived in the field the redskins at once
sued for peace, ard came to satisfactory
terms. That fertile country is now open
to settlement, and ii will not be many
years until all of Northern Dakota and
Montana will in like be thrown
open. .

SINCE the little affair at Butte, Col.
Voolfolk and Major Maginnis have or
gained q mutual admiration society.
Whenever one of them gets up in public
to speak he dispenses taffy literally to
the other.
