The vigorous fight made by the
friends CT Mr.. BLAINE In the ONO
county primaries was followed up In
the same aggressive spirit IN TIE county
convention on Saturday, and resulted
In q complete triumph Tor the BLAINE
faction. The anti-BLAINE men were
relegated to the rear AZ the outset anu
by an effective IRON ciad proeesssecureu
in their retirement.
The convention, in some particulars,
at least, presented new features to Ohio
county Republicanism. Conspicuous
among the new wrinkles was the abb
sence of men who have hitherto been
prominent in the party councils, or
If present, exhibited an apparent indif-
ference to the proceedings. Whlle on
the other hand it was equally apparent
there were some new hands at the
wheel-men who have not had mucn
experience in West Virginia politics
and particularly in West Virginia Re
publicanism.
The absence Of Marshal ATKINSON
at such q crisis could not fail to attract
attention. The listless attitude OF Post-
master STERLING, who has always been
a wheel hope in the Ohio county Re-
publican team, furnished q topic for
comment, while the voice of General
BEACH was eloauently silent. The
utter failure to recognize Editor
SCHoFIEID while Editor HART
was perched On the topmost
branch, well fianked by assist.
ants from the Intelligencer Office,
had q slight appearance of unfair dis
elimination. The vain efforts OF
the gallant Hubbard to secure an un-
trammelled delegation added to the in
terest of the novel spectacle. These,
and mapy other features that might be
mentioned, carried conviction to the
mind of a disinterested spectator that
it was emphatically BLAINE conven-
ton and not an old time gathering OF
the Ohio county Republicans.
But, among other new wrinkles, the
elevation of the colOred brother to q
condition of political peerage must not
be overlooked. Ohio county Republic
ans have been long time educating
themselves up to the point OF praetlclng
what they-preacA in regard to the COL
ored voter, and their graduation In TINS
branch would prooaoiy nave oeen de-
ferred to much later date ii q crisis
had net presented itself. The colored
voter had grown FESTIVE under the long
political vassalage his white Republican
brother had been subjecting him to,
and an omen rebellion was threatening,
and to avoid the calamity some sort of
q tub had 10 be thrown 10 the Whale,
and the Temporary Craftsmanship of the
convention had TO be conceded to the
dusky cohorts. We congratulate the
eolored voters upon their triumph, and
offer the grstuitous suggestion that they
follow I'D their victory to a logical con-
cInsion and force the Martiusburg con-
vsntiop 10 send at least one of their
race "a a delegate to Chicago.
Last but not least, among the new
wrinkles on the Republican horn are
the iron bound characteristics of the in

THE morganatie marriage which has
existed for some time between the Re-

has at length been properly solemnized
by MALONE, the High Priest. Repudi-

Republican bride.

MRS. Hsyes' Husband and His Scrap
Book.

It has ben asserted lately that ex Con-
gresham R. B. Hayes keeps a scrap book.
The myth says that he has kept the scrap
book since his entrance into public life.
This cannot be true. Paper is rather ex-
pensiye. From 1877 TO 1881 il is possible
that Hayes may have defrauded the Gov
eminent out OF q few blank books. Isis
certsin that he hasn't been able to afford q
blank diary since.

PIONEERS ASSOCIATION.

We notice that many of our Territorial
contemporaries are suggesting the imme-
date organization Of Pioneers Associa-
ton. Notably among the number is the
Deer Lodge North Vest. The suggestion
is good one. An association of this char
acter should have been organized years ago,
and why it was not is due, we believe, to a
lack Of interest in the matter on the part of
the pioneers themselves. Several years
ago few of the prominent pioneers of
Montana attempted an organization, and
if we remember rightly the failure was at
tributed to the Indifference manifested by
old timers in joining the association. 1t is
time to organize Pioneers Association, if
one is ever to be organized. The pioneers
of 1862 are not numerous enough to form
an association now. Out of the five humid
red 81 -ers it is believed less than seventy
reside in Montana at the present time. OF
the 62-ers many went back to the States
or removed 10 other Territories-a few died
from diseases-a number died with their
boots on-several were murdered by read
agents-and number passed on to the
other shore by means of the Vigilantes.
These causes, combined, have greatly d.
minished the '62-ers in number. 1t is pro-
posed TO remedy the deficiency in numbers
by CHASING all persons as pioneers who ar
rived in Montana prior to May "a, 1864
the birthday of the Territory, SO to speak.
The idea is excellent. This will include
the remnant of '62-ers, large number Of
'o3-ers, and those who came in the early
spring of 81. All such can properly be
counted as pioneers of Montana, and from
the 'o2-63 o. ers strong association can
be formed. Why not organize? Montan-
ians are lacking in pride if they longer neg
lect organizing into an association. We
unite with the North Vest in asking:
Who is the pioneer that will give the word
and start that which will be the largest and
most ENJOYABLE civic association of Mon
tana?

hnt reasonable to expect that Old Sam
will pet there. His Democracy is unques'
tioned-in fact, he is one of those awful, un'
terrified Democrats we read about So often e,,
in the newspapers. He also owns a "barT'
of money, which is open to promote parry
politics. So, he is to be one delegate. Hon
Sam Word, Of the West Side, is the ether
Sam. Mr.. Word has long been distinguish
ed for the unwashed and unterrified char
acter of his Democracy. He is not Dem
ocrat merely by education. 1t was born
into him, and tor forty odd years he has
been assiduous in cultivating it. Sam
record for fidelity to party and for services
performed will compare favorably with thai
of any other war horse or Wheel horse IN

good. These two Sans are to be selected
or, at least that is the report. They would
make strong team to represent the lem.

up Montana to the world has petered, and
the rich placers that yielded the precious
metal by the millions of dollars are now
worked out, and in the old placer camps
to-day monumental piles of boulders mark
the spots which were once so immensely
rich. The goth anniversary of Montana

pride to her people, May the sun of every
recurring anniversary dawn on happy and
