A Friendly Contest.

The political contest. if it can prop
erly be called contest. between James
Fergus and Granville Stuart, of Mea-
CHER county. furnishes remarkable
anomaly in Montana politics. Both
gentlemen were nominated for the
Legislature Stuart by the Democrats
and Fergus by the Republicans but
neither wanted to oppose the other, be-
ing personal friends. Fergus declined
the nomination, stating that while be
appreciated the honor, it was too fauch
like opposing a member of his own fam
lily; but the Republicans wouldn't have
it, and the old gentleman was finally
prevailed upon to run. Bat when elec-
ton day came, Fergus voted for Stuart
and Stuart voted for Fergus. and each
candidate worked hard against himself
and in favor of his opponent(?) There
was no sham about it. Fergus is n
hard-headed Scotchmau and sincere in
all he does. He is confirmed atheist.
but any Christian might well envy the
upright life he has always led. Stuart
is also thoroughly honorable and a life.
long Democrat, but his friendship fol-
Fergus was stronger than his political
ambition, and the two perhaps furnish
the only instance on record of opposing
candidates working for their own de

Cabinet.Makjrg.

Grover Cleveland will not probably
give much attention to Cabnet-makino
till after the lst of January, ut which
time he will, it is said. resign the office
of Governor. He will be succeeded in
that Office by Lieutenant Governor Hill,
of Elmira, who, like himself, is bach.
elor.
The Governor will then give his at
tention to national matters and make
preparations to remove to Washington,
which city. by the way, he has visited
two or three times on business, but not
since he was made Governor of New
York.
The Governor is already beginning to
have foretaste of the pleasures he will
enjoy as President of the United States.
He receives an average of five or six
hundred letters a day, according to his
private secretary, and telegraphic
dispatch every five minutes during bust.

consideration, and it is highly probable
the larger percentage of them will re.
main permanently on file till bought up
by the rag-man.
To the question whether those who
hold their offices under the civil service
regulations would be promptly removed
the Governor replied to correspondent
of ihe Boston Herald:

to compare with it for kidney, liver OF

Sickness is always of momentous con-

to try one bottle, which will tell the

Why He Is ILL.

One night Lord Randolph Churchill
and some fellow-staiesmen were stand
ing on the Thames embankment, at n
friends garden gate, when Big Ben
struck midnight. Some one remarked
upon the dehberateness of the ringing,
and wondered whether a man could run
from there to the Tower steps before
the last note was struck. The young
Tory leader thought he could; q wager
was made, the following night was APP
pointed for the enterprise, and Lord
Randolph won; but he SO over-exerted
himself that the others had to carry
him to bed, and next day his physician
ordered him of to Gastein.

Bull Run to Appomattox.

Never before since they rejoiced over
their triumph, and the defeat of the
Northern armies at Bull Run, have the
people of the South been so wildly elat-
ed as they now are over their recent
victory at the polls. The Solid South,
aided by the vote of the slums of New
York city, has dictated who shall rule
this country for the next four years, and
during that time, to great extent, con-
troll its policies. Those who twenty
years ago were fighting to maintain the
Rebel cause. aided by their friends and
admirers in New York city who inaug-
urated the disgraceful Draft Riots of
that time, will now come into power
and control the government which was
then fighting to preserve its existence,
against these same men, who control
the party which is about to come into
power. Disguise them as we may, these
are the facts, and we may as we'll be
prepared to face them. He who SYM
pathized the most intensely with the
South during the Rebellion will now be
in the highest favor with those who will
control the coming administration
Even more, if it be possible, than they
rejoiced over their victory at Bull Run,
do the people of the South now rejoice
over their triumph at the polls. But
then, as now, they thought their SUI
premacy established for all time, Then,
as now, tn Northern Mudsills" had
gone down before the '.Chivalry of the
South" and then, as now, they thought
that those '.Mudsills'' would accept, as
final, their defeat. Four years later the
Rebel banners Of this same .Chivalry'
were trailed in the dust, at the feet of
the despised Mudsills, at Appomattox.
1t took them four years to learn to APP
preciate the bulldog tenacity of the
Northern Mudsils, who, through all
those years Numbered at their walls,
and returned again and again to the at
tack, until hundreds of thousands of
their numbers had gone down to their
death, made glorious only by their liv-
ing comrades final triumph. But the
thought of surrendering the objects of
the war were as far in the distance then.
as when the contest began; and at last
the naughty Chivalry laid their banners
at their stubborn yictors' feet. Let
them now profit by the lessons of His
tory. That same stubborn, bulldog
tenacity which inspired Northern Mud
sills during that contest, inspires the
masses in the North to-day; and the re-
cent Confederate victory. like Bull Run,
is accepted as but preliminary skir-
mish; and four years hence. the now
boastful Chivalry of the South will again
go down before victorious Northern
hosts, and again groan over an Apo
mattox.

George Washington was made the first
