ate saw fit to repeatedly call to the trust of

the brother of Hon. Albert A. Bureigh, who
holds responsible government office in Aroos-
took. To the offence of belonging to respect
able family, who have been thought well of in
the communities where they reside. Mr.. Bur-
leigh must plead guilty But to be rejected
from this place for this reason, would be the
same as refusing to elect Israel Washburn
member of Congress from Maine because he
had already two brothers serving in Congress
from other States. Mr.. Burleigh's opponent
must be hard pressed for an argument if be can
find none better than this.
The manifold circular letter written in Mr..
Bowers interest, repeats the stale msstatement
that Mr.. Burleigh is kennebec man, that
Kennebec is already well represented in the of
fees, that kennebec men are inyeterate Office
seekers. etc, etc. Now if kennebec is SO eX
acting, it would be glad to claim Mr.. Burleigh
as one Of her citizens, but he belongs iu Ban

most of his taxes i'll Aroostook, which is his
birthplace, and where is located his large prop

than th oush he bad abandoned his family or

leigh belongs in the eastern section of the State,
the support which he has received from all sec
] tions,-ensurng his nomination in next We'd
nesday evenings caucus-indica'es that as Il
candidate he belongs to the whole State, and
that the attention of representatives is not TO be
diverted by the last appeal and miSrepresenta-
tion of those who oppose his nomination.

The Bangor Wing says under the caption of
"The Right Man:

We publish in another place in this number
an article from the Aroostook Republican, pre-
sentIng The name of Hon. Edwin G. Burleigh
as candidate for State Treasurer, W hieh re-
ceives our hearty Endorsement. Mr.. Burleigh
by reason Of his thorough Familiarity with
the important duties of the office. his prac-
teal business ability, his genial manner and
high standing in business and social circles
Is eminently qualified for the responsible trust.
His candidacy is received with approval in all
parts of the State, particularly in the eastern
portions, and his election by the next Legisla-
ture would give the greatest satisfaction.'
The Republican journal., 1885-01-01

We are now assured that Mr. Burleigh will
have the support Of the Republicans of Waldo
and adjoining counties and of our best known
business men. Indeed, it seems to be generally
conceded that Mr.. Burleigh has won his right
to the place by five years close application to
the business of the office, during which he has
mastered all its intricacies. Under civil service
rules Mr.. Burleigh is entitled to this promotion
while locality is also in his favor. lie is resi-
dent of Bangor, his only homestead being in
that city. The Western counties now have the
Governor, and three of the four State officers
elected by the Legislature, and have had them
for five years continuously. Cumberland has
two-Treasurer and Attorney General-Ox-
ford the AdJntant General. and Somerset the
Secretary of State. In the political changes of
the ensuing winter two offices will be taken
away from Cumberland and one away from
Somerset; two given to Kennebec without con-
test, and one to Penobscot, if Mr.. Burlegh sue
ceeds, of which there can be no doubt. This
seems to us like fairness.

of the objections made to Mr.. Burleigh, and

the Express War Ended.

General Superintendent Hancock, of
the Wells, Fargo Express company, with
Office at Council Bluffs, was in st. Faul
last week in consultation with w. j.
FootneF general superintendent OF the
Northern Pacific Express company. The
principal matter discussed was the pres
ent decentralization of rates. Express
rates have been in pitiful condition
since the first Of December last, about
the time the Wells-Fargo people hogan
operations on the Northern Pacific east
If Missauia, The local company would
announce a certain rate, but it would no
sooner be put into effect than the foreign
company would go one better, This
has been kept up ever since, and as a
consequence there have hardly been two
consecutive days when the same rates
been in effect. The result of yesterday 5
consultation was an agreement between
the Two companies, which provides for
the immediate restoration of express
rates to and from all points in the t0rri-
! tory common TO the two companies. The
restored rates are those which were in
effect prior to Dec. l. 1854 The agree
ment is absolute and viii, both Messrs
Footner and Hancock say. be strictly
carried out in all its provisions. When
the above matter had been disposed Of

Ex-Delegate Maginnis of Montana is
still in Washington. He says he has
been busy all the month sending docum-
ents and seeds to his constituents II is
stated that the main buiness which
detains him is his quest for the Montana
governorship. The new delegate, Mr.
Toole, is also here, and is quoted as hos
tile to Masinnis. Mr.. Toole says that be-
yond in dicating his general purpose, all
thingsbeing equal to appoint residents of
the territory to the federal offices there,
the president has made no move in terri
torial politics 1t is understood that he
willremove Gov. B. Platt Carpenter with
out waiting for his term of Office to ex-
pire. The president and Secretaries
Manning and Whitney being from New
York state know all about Carpenters
appointment. and its political aspects.
The president is little slow in acting
about Montana because he is not yet
ready to take up the other territories,
and wishes to delay until he can consider
them all at one time. at is probable"
says Mr.. Toole, that Samuel Hauser,
of the First National Bank of Helena,
will be the next governor. He does not
want it, but he would be satisfactory TO
men ofall parties in the territory, and
this is better material for governor than
any territory has had for years. Ex-
Delegate Maginnis is an applicant but
Hauser Is stronger for the place.
1t is rumored that the foiling of Major
Maglnns's ambition to acquire the Cover
norship of Montana asihis share of the
official spoils in this Territory will result
in his preferment for an important
appointment in Minnesota. The political
boss of that State is Mr.. Pat. Kelly,
fellow-countryman of our ex-Delegate,
and it is belived in Democratic circles in
St. Paul that Maginnis can have his
choice of several lucrative places as soon,
as vacancies present.-Herald.
