The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-08-16

Il. g. Clark announces himself . candidat
for nomination on the Democratic ticket 70
the Office Of Clerk aud Recorder of Silver Bow
County.
The New York Herald speaks O
the Brooklyn meeting addressed by
Carl Schurz the other day US an "au
dience that came to boot and stayet
to listen"
The Georgia electric girl has sue
cessfully and permanently magne'
tized one man at least. She is re
ported to be engaged to a young maj
for matrimony.
Ar old maids club in Illinois hal
come out for Blaine and Logan. The
dear, sweet, innocent spinsters evil
IDENTIFY believe the scandal being
quietly circulated about Cleveland.
The German Turn-verein societies
of New York and Brooklyn. mum.
bering more than 1900 members, al
u meeting the Sd inst, endorsed
Cleveland and Hendricks. They
supported Garfield in 1880.
Elkins' movement in West Vir-
ginia are like a sham demonstration
Of an enemy intent on d%etracting at
tention from the real field of opera
ton, which is Ohio. But the Demo-
cratic leaders will not be deceived.
In the fusion of the Greenbackers
with the Republicans in Virginia,
the former swallowed the latter hide
and hair. We presume, therefore,
that Ben Butler will be the can
didate of the fusiOnists for President
and not Blaine.
From one end of the land to the
other the Blaine organs are barking
and yelping at Harper's Weekly.
The virulence of their assaults is an
evidence of their fear. They recog-
nize the fact that the Republican
party has lost a most powerful ally,
Ex-Governor Stone, OF Iowa, ad-
mits that Wisconsin may be classed
among the extremely doubtful States.
The German vote is the uncertain
element that endangers Blaine's
chances of carrying it. In fact the
Germans hold the balance of power
and all present indications point to
their supporting Cleveland ard Hen
bricks.
There is IN ! d-fashiOned idea that
the road to wealth is found by brains.
Modern tastes and habits have
changed all that. W. now cultivate
legs and arms. A simple scholar has
but a poor chance in the ace for
riches with a trained athlete. Look
at u pedestrians, Oul pitchers, our
rowers, our sluggers-all men of
muscle, and millionaires. Look at
Blair, who drove Maud s., the man
makes $4,000 at a single lick. Would
he exchange places with q college
professor on 81, 200 a year and an oc-
casional present of turnips? We
think not. Archer, the English
is q richer man to-day than
two-thirds of the professional men In
England. Riches r not everything,
it is true, but they make a man
independent"
On the oath of next October MI.
Arthur Orton, better known as the
"Tlchborne Claimant" will be re-
leased from the English prison. At
that date he will have paid the pen
of his clever attempt to palm
himself off as Sir Roger Tichborne.
The fraud was pretty we'll proved,
although there were many who be-
and are many whostill believe
In his claim to the title. Poor old
Lady Tichborne assured her friends
that the big, fat fellow was her sol.
The Claimant has lost all his fairness
since he entered Her Majesty's jails.
He Is now thin as q rail. Fat men
who desire to reduce their weight
might try the Tichborne cure. 1t is
,asy and efficacious. When the
,old Arthur gets out he has an idea of
making things hum. He has heard
# America and its platforms. But he
will find many Claimants here be-
ore him.
"Wil Cleveland be retired ?" asks
he innumerable political dudes and
lincompoops of the Republican party.
Vas Andrew Jackson retired because
lis enemies circulated scandals con-
erning him that drove his wife to
be grave? Was Martin Van Buren, {
etired when the tongue of scandal {
vss turned loose against him? Was p,
ok and Harrison and Taylor and f,
'ierce retired because they knew SO 8
tile of public life? Was Lincoln I
etired because of his lack of expert o
nee in civil stations? Was Grant =
stired for the same reason? Was o
[ayes retired because he was a fraud? t
Vas Garfield retired because he was q
attOoed over with scandalous stories?
Will Blaine be retired because he is I
lastered over with compromising i.
,andals? Yes, Cleveland will re- v
re. He will retire fiom his private Il
,sidence in Buffalo next March and n
Ike up his quarters in the White
