sible. In that case, I believe if en-.

possible. In that case, believe if en-.
tirely certain that there will be a bolt
from the Republican party, and a very
large and important one. Some of
these independent Republicans NAV
go over to the Democrats, but that will
depend largely on what the Democrats
will do in July. My belief is that the
great body of them will organize an
independent party, with thoroughIv
good platform and Il sensible ticket.
and ask the reform Democrats to ioin
them. That would make three tickets
in the field.
g ''What ] am saying will not seem
improbable to you," he continued, eff
you will consider the peculiar political
situation. Party bonds are very much
ioosened. A great mass of quiet citi-
zens are deeply dissatisfied with both
parties. The Republican party has
been going down hill for several years.
Is it not an extraordinary sight to see
party which once was honest, brave
and patriotic, tOlerating the candidacy
of man like Mr.. Blaine, and raising
no cry of Indignation when they see
stepping forth unblushingly as Mr..
Blaine's chief supporter in what is
called ,conspicuously, the Blaine State,
New Jersey. Mr.. George M. Robson i?
Now it is mistake to suppose that the
rank and file of the Republican party
are demoralized. They are prejudiced,
but honest; they will not put Mr..
Blaine in the White House. They will
not knowingly put man there who
would make Mr.. Blaine Secretary of
State and accept him as his boss. If
Mr.. Blaine is nominated at Chicago,
which, as 1 said before, is not probable
but possible, you will see third ticket
in the field supported by great mass
of Republicans who will not have
Blaine.

President of Mexico.

The unsettled condition of Mexican
politics, just now, a revolution being
threatened on account chiefly of the
exactions made by the Government,
makes a sketch of the President, to
whom his enemies ascribe the difficulty
opportune. Mexico is short Of money
for the use of the Government, and is
reported to be anxious to borrow $2O,-
000, 900 at the present time. Two
years ago, under similar pressure, Con-
gress passed law granting the Presi-
dent extraordinary powers. In pur-
suance of this law, President Gonzales
recently issued stamp decree, thereby
creating the present complication,
which is more disastrous to business
than theprevious financial stringency
General Gonzales has been President
of Mexico since December |, 1880, He
was born about fifty years ago, at Mat
ahoras, State of Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Preferring military life, he joined the
army as a private soldier, and rose
rapidly in his profession. He served
with distinction against the French in
1864, as Colonel of a regiment, and
lost an arm while defending the fort
ress of San Marca against the invaders.
In 1876 he was created a Major-General
and held office as Secretary of War
during the administration of President
of a revolution.
Under President Gonzales admins
tration Mexico has made rapid ad.
vances in material prosperity and CIV
ilizatiOn. He has fine presence, is
not tall in stature, but well built and
of sturdy physique. Estimates of his
character vary greatly.

HoN.W. S. GRoESBECk says of Sam
uel J. Tilden's letter to the Iroquois
Club:
"That letter stamps Mr.. Tilden as
a true statesman and will be so regard
ed by every thinking man in the coun-
try, without regard to politics. His
ideas are those of strong, vigorous,
patriotic man. Such ideas promulga-
ted at the head of the federal govern
ment, and enforced by the stern virtue
which has characterized Mr. Tilden's
entire public career, would radiate
throughout the entire political ma
chinery of the country, and we would
see reform In practical shape instead
of the fine theories with which people
have been beguiled year after year."

Bob INGERsoLL says that Tilden
will live to bury most of the people
who think he has one foot in the
grave" Eight years ago Republicans
like Garfield, Morton, Chandler, and

been called hence, but Samuel J. Til

ACCORDING to the Republican idea
the American people delight in paying
taxes and can never get enough of it.
Not content with contributing an
amount sufficient to defray the ex-
penses of the government even under
reckless Republican rule, they insist
upon continuing to contribute annual
ly q hundred millions of dollars more
than the government needs, to lie in
the treasury, just because they are so
infatuated with the idea of paying
taxes, not for the support of the gov

Down on the Railroads.

The republican convention of Wash
ington territory passed resolution that
the grant OF land to the Northern Pacific
railway for its road from Wallula west
ward along the Columbia river, SO far as
the same has not been constructed, ought
to be forfeited and restored to the public
domain The platform adopted by the
convention declares in favor OF confirm
ing to the Northern Pacific railroad all
lands legally earned by the completion OF
its road; declares in favor of woman suf-
frage; opposes the recent act of the leg
islature providing for the taxation Of earn
ings of railroads; that discrimination
made by the railroad company against
the people in the matter of freight and
fares is a great injustice, and they de-
mand that congress step in between the
corporation and people.

on account of quality, variety or other I'M

exhibit it is hoped, will be made up OF
large, solid blocks of orc representing
strong lodges and extensive and profitable
ore bodies. In these respects Montana
beats the world, and now is presented the
opportunity to prove it. it's hoped that
no mine will be represented which is not
meritorious property, either with
record as profitable producer, or with an
ore showing which justifies confident
hope of remuneration for labor and capital
expended. Neither the commissioners
nor the Territory can afford to take the
responsibility of the slightest misrepre
sentation. The Montana collection will
not be made on the Colorado plan and the
troubles of the Colorado will not then be
visited upon Montana. The assistant
