A Candid Avowal of His InelI9i-
bility,
And an Explanation Of the Rea-
sons Why He Thought
He was Eie9ible.

WALKERvILLE, Nov. 8, 1888:
EDITOR MINER II desire to ex-
plain to the public through your COL
umns my action as a candidate for
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention. I declared some four years
and a half since my intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States !;
but l have not taken out my final
naturalization papers because I have
not yet been a resi- lent of the United
States for the full period of five years
which the law requires.
As soon as / was informed that I
had been placed in nomination by the
Republican convention for delegate, I
referred the question of my eligibil-
ity upon the facts stated above
to a gentleman of the legal
profession who vas a member of
the Convention. Upon his opinion,
in which he stated that another
prominent lawyer concurred that
there was no doubt but that 1 was
eligible, I allowed my name to stand
as a candidate and made the g c in
perfect good faith.
Since the election the question Of
my eligibility has been considerably
discussed in the newspapers of Butte.
This has induced me to take further
legal advice of the question, and also
to examine it for myself more care
fully than, on account of a severe
accident, l had been unable to do
sooner. Under the very definite Ian
guage of the joint resolution provid-
ing for the Constitutional Convention
which provides that ''no one shall be
eligible for membership unless at the
date of such election he be q citizen
Of the United States" I have to-
day arrived at the conclusion, from
which there seems to me to be no e.
cape, that l am not eligible to the Of
fee Of delegate. 1t is true that under
the resolution the convention is the
sole and exclusive judge of the quail
fications and election of its members,
and the convention would have the
mower to admit me as a delegate; but
such action, 1t seems to me, could not
be legally or morally justified. IN
der these circumstances I feel tt my
duty to myself and to the public to
decline to take any other steps toward
qualifying for the Office of delegate
or to claim a seat as a member Of the
Convention. I very much regret
that 1 am unable to serve the people
of Silver Bow county as a Delegate
after they have done me the honor to
elect mt. Had 1 supposed that there
any reasonable doubt OF my
I should not have con-
scented to be a candidate. I feel much
gratified, as any n should, at the
large number Of votes which | re-
ceived from the people among whom
I live, and l hope that this explains
ton will satisfy them that my pres
ent course is, under ali the circum-
stances, the only one that is right
and honorable, +. MEDHURST,

Another promotion has taken

been master mechanic at Eagle Rock
since the shops were built there,
has been promoted t" general master
mechanic of the Idaho Division,
which includes all of the Utah &
Northern and the Oregon Short
Line.
The Union Pacific management
contemplate making a change of time
on the Utah & Northern and Oregon
Short Line, a schedule to that effect
being prepared for issuance about the
10th inst. We have not been able to
learn what trains will be effected by
it. The change of time Oh the North
ern Pacific will occasion the running
OF a through train from this city to
Garrison, making direct connection
with the Northern Pacific at that
point. In the matter of a junction
this will give Garrison the lead over
Butte City, as mails will also be trans
ferred at the former point, and the
change will rebound somewhat to
Ogden's benefit.-Ogben Pilot, 4th.
Pocatello is fast assuming the airs

Toombs, which heretofore has been
nothing but a water tank, and the

be entirely abandoned. Toombs is
about four miles south Of Arimo.

At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Opera honse was filled to its usmOst
capacity by the friends and relatives
of the pu bile school children. Any
one unfortunate enough to be late
was compelled to stand. and even in
this uncomfortable position were
many who desired to enjoy the treat.
And a treat it certainly Was. The
exercises consisted of rotations, es-
says, solos, choruses and select read
ings. Great care had been taken by
the little ones in committing either
song or reading and asa consequence
they were very we'll rendered. Such
entertainments as these cannot fail to
have a beneficial effect upon both

the experiment trial yesterday will
prompt those in charge. because Of

That New York and BROOKLYN
should go wild with enthusiasm
over their new big bridge is not
astonishing. Next to the jetties it
is the most gigantic and wonder
full engineering enterprise ever
accomplished this country, and
as a bridge it distances all that
Europe has ever produced.
London and Paris have been
wont to boast of their numerous
and magnificent bridges, but
they will be compelled to sing
low now, to acknowledge that
New York has distanced them
in this respect, The Brooklyn
Bridge is the largest Suspension
bridge IN the world. lis towers
are as high as any church in
New York, and in cost and eN-
