The New Deal.

There is large delegation in Wash
ington from Montana going for every
thing in sight. from the governorshiI
down. The Dakota delegation Is busy
with getting the first Office. Zeibach,
guess, stands the best show for Pierce's
place. Mitchell, it is true, is there work.
ing for a whack at the land Office. John
Lowler wants to be register and Major
Rowley receiver. Day is after Sesseng-
er's scalp, and he may get it-some other
day, but not this. Sessenger is an old
Dakotan and the Idaho talk is not con-
vining as cause for a change. For any
one single Office the Montana delegation
take the lead in the matter of the mar
shalship.
Botkin must go and Kreidler couldn't
get there because he could not be re-
moved for cause to create vacancy for
a good Democrat. He was killed of
during the last days of Arthur by the
oficious Crosby, who, after the senate
committee with Edmunds at its head
had agreed on Kriedler's confirmation,
the supercilious ex-assistant postmaster
general called Angus Cameron of Wis
consin, in and gloated over the downfall
of Botkin to the Wisconsin senator's
face. This aroused Lord Angus amino
sity, and seeking out Sawyer, the sena-
torial twain swore they would knock
Kreidler out to down Crosby. The re-
suit IS
RECORDED IN HISTORY,
aid now Kreidler is stalking about
among the political ghosts, while his
epitaph reads ''killed by his id fool
friends"
But passing from the political grave
yard, which will be full and oyerhowing
in four years, perhaps in four months,
will tell you something of the living and
reanimate Democrats who are hunting
for Montana offices. There is Maginnls,
who says he ought to be governor from
the popular choice, is trying to get grip
ON the executive ear by petition. A pa
per, / understood, is in circulation
throughout the territory praying for his
appointment, and may they ever pray.
Unless he can make a mighty good
showing he will hardly get there. Knight
of Helena is said to be making a still
hunt for the place, and there's big fish
somewhere IN the troubled political
waters, for they are getting rather riley
and things may yet come rocky for some
body. For the marshalship there is
some lively skirmishing. Among the
candidates are w C. Webb of Billings,
an old Lacrosse boy and good fellow
who has the backing Of Delegate Toole. |
and, think, stands the best chance,
although Maginnis is working the wires
for Curtiss Of Helena; Daley Of Deer |
Lodge is also an aspirant Jack Healey !
of Benton is also after it, and lift were
to be secured by invading an Indian |
camp after stolen horses, he would get II,
for he is daring, dashing sort of a fell
low, and fears not red or black d.. For
the surveyor generalsliip Col. Schultz
has the best backing, He has been
deputy of Harris in the Office for a couple /
of years past and just comes within
range of the platform which provides
that such appointments shall be made
from the ranks of those who have resid-
ed in their respective territories at least
that long. AS to the land Offices, there
is no considerable stir as yet,but point
er that changes are to be made viii
bring an army of them to the surface
