Editor Miner:
Another word concerning the far
cical acts oil the ring, or so called Re-
pubIicans. If ever patience is to
cease being a virtue now is the time.
II my views on the political subject
now open, are open to criticism, l
trust those who care to answer will
come forward as men and give, not
figures and flourishes of rhetoric, but
facts which shall prove undeniable
and incOntrovertable.
There are very many in Butte Of ir-
reproachable character, and undis-
putable integrity, whose every moral
and pecuniary interest are centered
in the civilization and aggrandize.
ment Of lhe west and who have for
years fought in the Republican
ranks, but who are now becoming
estranged from the party through
the underhand manipulations of
those who style themselves leaders.
Ii honesty Of purpose controlled the
movements of these ring men they
world at once abandon the dam:
aging course now pursued and
allow the voice of the party at large
to be heard.
The hours set for the primary meet
ings are detrimental In thousand
ways. Hundreds of voters leave their
homes Ia the morning to pursue their
daily avocation and do not return un-
til after % M. How are such men
to reach the polls between the hours
of II a. m and p. M? hours never
before heard of for primary. These
hours are a direct menace at the
rights of the workingmen who are
plainly told that they can have no
voice in the election of delegates.
The election of Cleveland in New
York should prove a warning to
these corruptionists. They NAV sue.
ceed in sending their own selected
delegates and ultimately nominate
their cut.and-dried tools but at the
polls they will find such overwhelming

who disregard political rights.

The Chess Game.

The chess game played yesterday
at the rooms of Mr.. George Newkirk
called out large attendance of the
lovers of the game. The players, as
before stated, were DR.. Labrte upon
the one side and Messrs. O.. B.
O'Bannon and John Noyes on the
other. Each party was allowed three
minutes in which to make a move.
At the end of an hour and a half the
Doctor acknowledged himself van
uuished. Another game will be
played to-day between the same par
ties at the same place.

Theatre ComIQue.

The excellent troupe under the
management Of Mr.. Ned Foster
continues to draw crowded
houses nightly. The entertain
ments presented are as varied as are
the tastes of the large assemblages
which attend them. The artistic
dancing and performances of the
Forests are very favorably COM
mented upon, while the fine singing
of Miss Foster, Nellie Mahan and
Chrlssie Morrell is always received
with rapturous applause. The
Hughes, in their specialties, are pleas
ing and the charming little sketch
artiss, Miss Dottie Hughes, never
fails TO bring down the house. The
music is excellent and the manage
ment Of all is above criticism. The
Comique drives away dull care.

An Open Letter.
BUTTE, April Z, 1884.

BUTTE, April Z, 1884.
Editor Miner.
AS open letters seem to be the rage
will try and write a short one my
self. Now 1t Is very evideut to me
that Mr.. Lee Mantle's reason for
having the Republican primaries
held at the unusual time of from IL
until 2 o'clock in the middle of the
day, was at the instance of the little
clique that he represents.
Ii is very well known fact that
Mr.. Mantle is chronic seeker for the
position of postmaster of Butte. That
he has tried for this position on more
than one occasion, and what few
friends he has have done their level
best to GUST Mr.. Smith to give this
gentleman the position.
Now it is very questionable wheth-
er the people of Butte desire Mr..
Mantle'S services in the capacity Of
PM. We have no doubt that if that
gentleman were sent to Chicago to
represent the Territory as one of its
Republican delegates to the National
Convention that it would give to him
some political importance that he
might probably never otherwise at
tain. 1t can he scarcely necessary to
say that the labored articles from the
pen of Johnny Read, Esq, graduate
of Cornell University (?) not far
from Salt Lake, will not advance the
cause of Mr.. Mantle. Mr.. Mantle
cannot aud will not represent the
Republican party OF Montana in the
Chicago Convention. NOtwithstand-
ing the primaries are held at such an
unusual hour the Republicans can
be On hand even if greater portion
of them will have to lose day to ex-
press their sentiments.
The Republicans, it is true, stand
very much in need of a Republican
newspaper in Silver Bow county, ed
tied by some one of sorAe social stand |
ing in the community, and to this
end he should have respectabl ante
cedents. A mere dirt singer Is OBJ |
noxious to the ordinary Republican.
Most Republicans have a little cul- !
ture and have been thinking men
and mere blackguardism and scurril- |
ity are distasteful to them The Ian /!
guage of the brothel is neither anus
Ing nor entertaining to an intelligent |
community. l have said that Mr..
Mantle cannot represent Montana in
the Chicago convention and I also
predict that he cannot be postmaster
Of Butte City doleful as the
may be, and should
this cause Johnny Brigham Read
to be inclined to shed tears over such
a morrnful outlook, I advise him to
save them for an occasion similar to
the one at which he not long ago
most copiously shed them.

"A Clear, Foroible and Powerful
Temperance Lecture.

Judge Galbraith appeared at Ren.
shaw Hall before q large audience
last Sunday night and delivered one
nl tne best temperance lectures it has
neen our good fortune to hear. The
speaker has clear. .musical voice and
forctb!e delivery. He began his
'ecture by saying that though the
subject Of temperance is old, yet as
long as the evil Of intemperance is 80
nrevalent it could not be called trite.
The discussion of this subject is not
to be discouraged on that account.
The gentleman's discussion of the
subject was with reference to the ef-
forts OF lntemperance upon one Of the
ruling passions of the human race.
viz: The universal desire Of ruin for
happiness. The nearest approa n to
true happiness is gained by those
who most nearly perform their duty,
first. to themselves; second, to others
and third, to God.
In discussing duty to ourselves he
pictured out the evil effects Of alec:
hol upon the human system. It is
only stimulant, whip. 1t enters
the system only AS foreign SUBJ
stance and d YES not assimilate. 1t
roisons the blood. and 40 destroys
muscle, then attacks the brain. II is
"a certainly poison as arsenic. He
who presists in drinking is q suicide
and suicide is q crime.
The intemperate, he said, fail
also in their duty to others, to their
family. their neighbors, to their
country. The children of drunkards
are often lnnatics or idiots. They
have an enfeebled nervous organiza-
tion which disqualifies them for
taking part in the active duties
Of life. As matter of
political economy temperance
is a duty. The drunkard
Is consumer, rarelv producer. So
much food is wasted every year in
making that which does not profit
only destroys. Patriotism calls also
on citizens to be temperate. Heroes
laid down their lives by the thousand
to save our country-it is only a pa
tri"tic duty that we deny ourselves
and live temperate lives for the good
Of our land.
Temperance as duty to God, the
speaker enforced by numerous illus
trations and quotations from the
scriptures. We owe the duty to God
to teach temperance both by example
and precept.
He made an eloquent appeal to
hose who deal in LIQUOR to consider
what they are doing. In imagina-
ion he lead them to the homes they
lad made desolate, to witness the
lgony and despair of the wife and
miserable because of alc0-
lol. In the wor d better or worse for |
he life. example and business of the |
lealer IN liquor
This merest outline of the argu-
nont does not give any just idea of !
he merits Of the lecture. Those who
we're so unfortunate as lot to have
'eard the gentleman Sunday night |
lave missed the greatest instructive
reat in the form of q lecture that

less attacks upon Col. w. F, Sanders.
Many of US old time Republicans
would like to know the cause. Tue
only reason given IS that Col. Sanders
has been opposed to carpet bag rule.
Is there any deadly crime in the
promulgation OF the American doc.
trine that rulers govern by the con-
sent Of ruled or governed and that
rulers should come from the body of
the people over which they are
placed? Col. Sanders has sand all
these long years our governors should
come from Montana rather than from
New York or some other state. He
has contended that it was a wrong
committed against the people Ut this
territory to have them from any
other portion Of the country.
1t may happen as in the present
case that the incumbent is totally
unfit for the position, and
as in the present case,
a mere adventurer with nothing In
common with the interests of the
people of the Territory, is seated In
the Governors chair. Suppose as in
the present case that an adventurer
arrays himself against the leaders OF a
party whose appoiotee he is and who
should at least receive a kindly rec.
ognition, but do not, what are such
leaders to do? Are they to bow in
humble submission? The writer cf
this article thinks otherwise. We
note these senseiess attacks, made by
our so-called Republican journal the
Inter Mountain, whose editor four
years since was local of this same

acter to those made by him
