On Monday last The Dug published a
local article about the reported efforts OF
West Virginia Republicans to secure the
services of repeaterS from Maryland at the
State election ON the following day. The
articlcin question contained copies fadratt
Tor $50, to which the name Of James ID.
Butt, of Harpers Ferry, was attached, which
was understood TO be in payment for re-
pcatcrS, and an agreement to which Mr..
Butts name was also attached, offering to
pay the holder - for every voter whom he
wouldinAuencet to vote the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Butt has called on Is aud gwen Us ample
proof tina. the signature TO the draft and to
the agreement is not genuine, and as We
have no desire 90 do injustice to any one,
even though he be an active political OPP
pouent. we freely make this statement at his
request and in his behalf We confess that
We have been imposed upon, and are glad to
do Mr. Butt justice in stating that he has
been made the victim of Il forgery by some
one unknown to us. As Tie Day does not
deal Ia torgerics tor political purposes, we
hasten to wash our hands OF the whole bus

in that State, says;
''Never since the experiment Of free gov
eminent was begun on this continent has
the world witnessed such degradation of the
right of franchise, such Dissertation OF clti,
zenship and such desperate, corrupt and
polluted methods as were resortcd to by ras-
Gals who were not citizens of Ohio to defeat
the honest will of the people at the ballot
box"

The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-04-19

In a recent interview upon the po>
litical situation Governor Hoadly
observed that the issues upon which
the prudential campaign ought to be
conducted are the necessity for
reform If abuses engendered by long
continued Republican misgovern-
ment, for economy in public expeDd-
itures, and for restoration of the
Constitution Of the United States to
its rightful supremacy. Absolute
free trade is at present an impossi-
bility. Any tariff necessarily affords
incidental protection to domestic
manufacturers of the articles it em-
braces, but protection should be an
incident rather than an Object. A
tariff levied only for public uses
means a tariff exclusively on articles
which are not produced in the Un-
tied States, such as tea and coffee
favors a tariff for revenue, avoid
ing monopolies but carefully dis
eliminating SO as to encourage labor,
and as far as possible so constructed
in intelligent details as to give relief
to oppressed commerce and restore
the American flag to the seas, but not
to speck or rudely disturb unused
This is the Ohio platform
IN which that State was carried last
aud with TiIden as the candidate
t can be carried again this year.

HANG ON

Sargent is in no hurry to leave Ber-
lin. His diplomatic back is elevated
aud he will neither accept the st.
Petersburg mission nor resign his
present one. Sargent has good stay
ing qualities. He proposes to fight it
out with Bismarck If it takes all sum-
mer. But he does wrong in one re-
spect. He ought not to shut himself in
his room because some of the Berlin
papers charge him with associating
with prominent Liber is. He shows
a weakness in doing this. He ought
to manifest his dignity and independ-
ence by going out wherever and
whenever the responsibilities of his
position direct him. But for all this
we admire the old Californian's
pluck and hope he will stay by Bis.
marck till q Democratic President
sends some q over there to relieve
him. Hang on Sargent. Don't 60 to
St. Petersburg and If Arthur remove
you come to Butte and we'll elect you
of the peace of this great and
growing city.

sENAhOR BAYARD'S LETTER..

In his letter to the Iroquois club
Senator Bayard utters some very
plain truths in very plain language
There is no mincing of terms of de-
nunciation of the present admins
tration. On the contrary, the Sena-
tor calls black black with a direct
ness as refreshing as it is unusual
with many public men. He shows
the necessity of tariff reform for the
benefit of American lsborers, that it
is opposed by the Republican party
to protect the favored few ut the cost
# the many; and that "h"pe of re
form or relief Can be expected only
from the ascendency of the Demo-
cratic party.
The Senator affirms that the evils
of the present INSTRUMENTATION of
our domestic affairs are apparent.
G. Messed and proven to exist IN ear
ly every department Of the Govern
ment.
Respectable men, says the Senator,
are compelled to hold their noses over
the developments In the star route
trials. Corruption is rampant and so
widespread aud deep-seated in the
Republican party that reform within
it is impossible. The only hope of
the country lays in turning it
out of power. He calls the aiten~
ton of the club to the fact
that the material of which
the National Republican Conven>
ton will be composed promises no
reform in the administration of the
government. In proof of this he cites
the fact that the head and front of
the Louisiana Republican delegation
to Chicago is q man who stands in
dicted for bribery in the Star Route
matter, and that his associates are
of official mercenaries and
political camp followers.
Senator Bdyard's ar.aignment of
the Republican party is pointed and
He closes with the declar-
alton that under 1t it is idle to hope
for civil service reform, tariff reform
or reform of any kind or nature, and
that to continue it in p)wer would
be unwise and disastrous to the first
Interests of the country. The letters
Of Senator Bayard. Mr.. Tllden and
Mr. Pendlet0n will exercise an I'M
mense influence among thinking
men of every political belief and will
be read by all with unusual interest.
They express the convictions OF
in whom the mass of the
impose the most implicit con-
idence.

Mrs. James A. Garfield has haaded
a memorial, signed by 500 other citi-
zens of Cleveland. Ohio, to the United
States Senate, praying that the Nez
Perez Indians be removed to their
old reservation in Idaho. This is
very kind of Mrs. Garfield. But the
lady has been imposed upon. She
probably never saw a Nez Perez In
dian. She doen't know whether
they would be better of on their old
reservation than where they ar. In
Tact what does Mrs. Garfield know
about Indians anyway? 1t is cruel
to parade the lady's name before the

THE TILOEN LETTER..

MI. 1llden'S letter read DelOre TN
Iroquois Club day before yesterday
is an intelligent exposition of the OBJ
ject and powers of the Federal consti'
tuition and the dangers to which that
instrument has been subjected
through the tendencies of political
parties to change the one and subvert
the other. He refers to the attempt
of the old Federalists to construe the
| Constitution so as to carry out their
idea of Capitalization of political
power or as he expresses it "of I'M
pressing on the new system a mon
archial basis" The election of
Thomas Jefferson, the father Of
Democracy, in 1900, saws Mr.. Tilden.
saved our free institutions from
| the perils which surrounded them
and secured sixty years of admins
tration mainly in harmony with
their desires and true character"
When the late civil war broke out
the people of the country were Cum
PEELED to chose between preserving
the integrity of the Constitution up
on the one hand or the dismember-
ment of the Union upon the other,
they wisely concluded, says M. Til
den, to save the Union first and
afterward repair the breaches
made in the Constitution.
The first was accomplished
but the other WORK was not
finished. Twenty years have elapsed
and still the instrument which guar
antees us = republican form Of gov
eminent is made the football Of de-
signing men and corrupt politicians,
He truly AYERS that the Government
has become a main factor in elections
and reasserts that under Its practices
it requires ''two-thirds of the voters
to maintain q majority at an cleo
ti0n." In other words Government
political machinery, Government
patronage and Government return
ing boards r so potent in their Op-
eratiOns that it will take two-,hirds
of the voters in the Union to displace
the party in power.
MI. Tllden is not silent in regard to
the THEFT of the Presidency in 1876 in
which he was cheated of q Justly
earned victory. He speaks of it as
the time when military forces were
collected around the capital of the
country and by this and other men
aces intimidated congressional repre-
OF a majority of the people |
to re.in9uish the fruits of their vic |
Try and to surrender the control of
the Government to the minority"
While deplering the fact that admin
istrative reform is difficult as long rs
the Government descends into the
arena of politics to control
elections, he expresses faith
IN the people and a benignant Provi-
1ence and confidently looks forward
% a purer administration of the laws
If the land. He adds that though he
can no longer aspire to be one f THE
eaders in the great work." he bids
hose engaged in it God speed. Mr..
Cilden doubtless intends, III the last
ines of his letter, to convey the in>
that he will decline the
nomination for the Presidency. 1t
9 such an intimation as may be ex>
'ected from Tilden. but he yet may
'ield to the p~ersuasiOns of his politi-
al friends and again lead the Demo-
hosts to victory.
