The wave Of enthusiasm which Mr.

the country from MSine to California,
on the appearance of his letter Of ac-

against Mr.. Blaine before his letter was
published are against him now, and
those who we're for him are FOR him Sill

Backbone Land Grant.

In answer to letter of inquiry on
the subject, Mr. Blanchard sends us
the following, which explains itself
U. 8. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Washington, DC, March IL, 1884.
Editor Colfa1 Chronicle
Relative to the Texas & Pacific
railroad land grant, which is located
in Arizona, New Mexico and Califor-
MIA, the house has passed bill de :
claring its forfeiture, and the Senate
committee on public lands has report
ed the bill favorably, and I have no
doubt it will also pass that body.
Relative to the land grant claimed
hy the New Orleans Pacific railroad,
known as the Back Bone land grant,
all the action that has been taken in
Congress so far in regard to it is as
follows: The house committee on
pnblic lands, by vote of 6 to 5, have
reported in favor of its forfeiture;
the house has not yet acted on this
report, but will some time during the
session. l think it probable the
house will declare its forfeiture, but
the outlook is not favorable for the
Senate doing SO The Senate com
mittee on railroads of the last Con
gress unanimously reported again,
the forfeiture, and it is fact that
the President, the Attorney General,
and the Secretary OF the Interior
have all recognized the claim of the
New Orleans Pacific railroad company
as valid. Under all these circum-
stances my opinion is that the grant
will not eventually be forfeited. l
send YOU Senate executive documen-
No. 81. which contains all the pro-
ceedings had up to the date of the
document, concerning said grant.

Not content with putting the sale
OF all the ticket paper in the hands
OF the Secretary of State, corner
seems to have been made to deceive
the public as to how and where to get
the paper to print such tickets as
they might desire. If this editor

have to serve as Legislator, he can
be counted on to help repeal all such
rascally laws.

There are variety of election
tickets in the field, and unless voters
are very careful they will cast ballots
that will be Of no benefit. There are
t,oo men for District judges to be
voted for, and only one man to be
voted for in every other case. Be
sure to scratch oat all names but one
for all the Offices except for the two
Judges.

When man runs for Office, the
rule is that the nearer be comes TO
being right the more fault will be
found with him. The only philoso-
phical course is to do right and let
others think what they please. The
Savior himself was unable to escape
the calumnies of evil-doers and back
biters, and the best that mortal ian
eau do is TO grin aud bear it.
