Virginia City Enterprise twelve years
ago. He went east, leaving the paper
in the hands of Hon. R. M. Daggett,
who ran it in the interest Of VIM. Shar-
on for senator. Goodman was a Jones
man, so, on his return he raised a breeze
and-himself high in the classics and a
natural poet-commenced a laudatory
article in favor of Jones by quoting the
opening lines of Macauley's "lvry."
Whether this gave Tom Fitch on insplr-
alton or not, he used it in a speech eu-
logizing Blaine, referring to him as the
"Plumed Knight" Ingersoll hit upon
the same happy title in his speech in
augurating Blaine in 1876, and 1T has
clung to him ever since. We believe
the original idea was Goodman's, and
he meant it to attach to Senator Jones
instead Of Blaine.

THE brief and points in the contested
election case of Alexander G.. Rotkin VS..
Martin Maginnis, recites in a concise
and convincing manner the circum-
stances of the election of 1882, and the
enormous frauds practiced on the ballot
box in Custer, Dawson and Missoula
counties. In the latter not only were
the precincts of O'Keefe, Thompson and
Thompson River irregularly created,
but nearly n thousand votes were cast
in these precincts; and that at least
nine-tenths of them were fraudulent is
beyond even the question of a doubt.
The voters were railroad graders who
came into the territory a short time be-
fore the election and left as oon as the
Northern Pacific was finished. That
they had any right whatever to vote
would be a folly to presume. They are
not citizens Of the country now and
never were, but it was by their votes
that Alexander G.. Botkin was cheated
out of his honest election.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

Blaine and the Territories.

1t is a fact that Mr.. Blaine's nomina-
ton was due in large part to the way he
has enlisted the people Of the territories
in his behalf. describing the old lead
ers of parties from the States, MI.
Blaine's "managers"-as those in charge
of a candidates canvass at a national
convention are called-Were taken from
the territories.
S. B. Elkins, of New Mexico, and T..
Donaldson, of Idaho, took the candi-
dates interest in hand, and with Chat
fee, whose political training had been
mainly as a delegate from Colorado be-
fore it's admission as a state, and Dick
Mccormick, from Arizona, they made
the fight at Chicago for the Maine chief
tain. Pitted against them were Lodge,
of Massachusetts, Roosevelt and Curtis,
Of New York, for Edmunds; while
men like Congressman Burleigh, Senat-
or Malone and Chris. Magee champion
ed President Arthur.
These bold "boysn from the mountain
territories swept down the armies of the
''reformers'' and the president, and
capturing a large section of their
forces, were soon masters of the entire
field. It illustrates the truth that the
shrewd, enterprising men iE politics, as
in business life, have had territorial
training, and there is no better evidence
of the coming presidents Judgment
and skill as a leader than in the canvass
that resulted in his nomination. It ar
CUES another theory, and that is, under
the regime the men of the territories
will be consulted about their affairs. It
has been a standing grievance hereto
fore that the wishes of the representa-
tive men of the several territories have
been disregarded, but a man who, like
Blaine, has the sagacity to choose his
friends on account of their fitness,
though only territorial politicians, is
likely to pursue the same course in re-
gard to their government.
With Blaine as president, the terri
tories will assume an importance to
which they are entitled, and a citizen
will not be treated as If he were a mere
mendicant, but will have his rights re-
garded. AS speaker of the house Of re-
representatives. Blaine always favored the
delegates from the territories, and their
attachment to him and gratitude for
their attentions have been manifested
at every convention at which he has
been a candidate. With Blaine's cleo
ton as president we may look for a new
era in territorial politics. We are COM
ing to the front.-Salt Lake Tribune.

The New York Sun, the oracle of the
benighted democracy, does not seem to
take much stock in Cleveland. Under
date of the 18th inst. the Sun says edit
orally
Between Thomas f. Bayard and
Grover Cleveland, we say emphatically,
that Bayard ought to be preferred.
Cleveland is a d~eservedly weak candi-
date among democrats, because he has
followed his own selfish purposes by un-
dertaking to rule without regard to the
party which made him Governor; and
all the republican kickers in the world
could not make up for the democratic
votes he might lose were he a candi-
date.

has more than once been suggested as
the best agency for the infiction of capt.

used with great success as a means Of
