St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.) :
There is 40 perceptible effort any
where at organizing, a Presidential
boom for Senator Edmunds. but he
is being spoken of in all parts of the
country with significant respect and
consideration. He seems to have the
coafdence of the people as an able,
safe, and clean man, and leader
who has served the party faithfully
and sagaciously and the feeling is
evidently growing that a much worse
thing might easily be done than to
put him at the head of the ticket
with Lincoln, say, or Gresham, for
the second place.

OK hearing the result of the elec-
ton in Philadelphia, General Beaver
remarked: "This shows that Penn
sylvania is back in the Republican
line, where she will stay. She is nc
longer a doubtful State. and is good
for 25,000 majority next fall. We
wonder if the Republicans who were
too pure to vote for the gallant old
veteran last year, are as much graft
fed over the result this year as be

Congressman Rockwell, of Massa-

his State are somewhat divided in
choice for President between Arthur,
and Edmunds, with the former in
lead. He insists that in 1880 the
State was really for General Grant,
but few men arrogating to them
selves special virtue in politics stout
ly resisted the popular sentiment.

Worcester Spy (Rep.): President
Arthur is regarded not unfavorably ;
his demeanor in Office has worn their
respect and approval. Massachu-
setts Republicans would doubtless
accept him cheerfullyas a candidate
and support him cordially. if the
convention should give him the
nomination. but they do not regard
him as the best or strongest candi-
date.

said last night that it is useless for
anybody to deny that Senaton Logan

whole snergy to work as an historian,
and talks of current politics merely
as recreation.

Boston Herald Ind : Indeed, the
situation in New York is extremely
precarious. We do not believe that
Arthur or Logan or Blaine would
staad a shadow of a chance to carry
the State. Therefore, if the party
leaders are worldly-wise, they will
not pass their favorites, for it would
be a colder day for them to be left
outside than inside.

The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1884-02-27

Boston Transcript (Rep.): As a
candidate, Logan, Notwithstanding
he was a soldier, would probably get
less of a soldier vote-than any other
Republican named in connection
with the office. His hostility to
Fitz John Porter has made him
thousands of bitter enemies among
the men of the Fifth Corps and
their friends He is hardly a Presi-

C9UR D'ALENE MINING DISTRICT,


CnuR DALENE MINING DISTRICT,
January 26, 1884.
In answer to our many friends we will
answer through your columns, giving
the facts in regard to the mines as they
appear to us or any other men not in
other traffic along the road to catch the
honest miners who have been lied to by
the traders who have fixed for them last
fall and have been lying ever since to
can make few dollars off the travel,
which they are doing ia good shape.
You viii remember that a man by the
name OF Coy put piece in the paper
while he was stopping at the st. Charles
Hotel, giving catering account of the
mines, but the dirty cur did not men,
ton that he was trader and had stock
OF goods in the mines which he expected
| to make his money out of. When he
landed Mt Rathdrum We happened to
meet Coy there, and he went on to tell
rs that he had got a big fortune in a
ledge and that the placer mines were
paying big, all of which IS false. There
Is only one claim open, which is called
the Widows claim, and they take out
from So to SIS day while cleaning up
the bedrock, but don't forget that it
takes them four or five days to strip off
whit they ean Glenn up in n day or less,
SO Won can see that it does not pay
wages the best they can do.
A word to Washington county, of
which We are but little acquainted, but
they are alI well known to Courtney
| Meek. Meek told us nc tho Occidental
| Hotel TINT he lind Il claim on Eagle creek
and IL would prospect from SIS to $t5 to
the pan. Now we will tell what Dave
and j. Clark told us: When Meek left
the fiiiiiss he was iii with some other men
| III whip saving business and sold out
| To his partners, and did not have money
enough to come out with and got Dave
! Clark to go to Il man i'll the Widows
claim and buy him $40 worth of speei-
mems To raise big excitement among
the boys in Washington county.
Without exception 1t is the most out
rageous excitement that has been for
/ AflllIf u y tAI aHtl IL hftItl III ItllIl nluHf
a man. Gentlemen, take our advice and
stay away from the mines. Ii you go to
any town or station along the road and
express IN opinion that You intend to
write to the papers and stop your friends
| from coming, they will almost jump you
| for Il fight in a minute. These are faets
and we don't ask any one TO take our adj
vice, but come along and see, and If any
one says we have not told the truth af-
ter he comes and sees for himself, as we
have done, they can call us set OF liars
But there arc hundreds in the mines to-
| dry that express themselves as we do.
| We don't offer advice to any one except
our friends, and to them we say stay at
| home, and don't be foolish, rs we were.
