THERE has been ever since the cleo
ton some dispute as to what the popu-
lar vote was for the several candidates at
the late Presidential election. Some
Republicans tried to figure out that
Elaine received more votes than Cleve-
ad. The official vote is given in the
:, american Almanac" standard au-
thority on elections, and editedby A. R.
Spaford, librarian of congress. The

Cutting Down The Clerical Force In
The Treasury

The Treasury.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has dismissed forty
clerks, all in one slash of the official
cleaner. This has created CONSERVATION
in all the departments where surplus
clerks do most abound.
The victims were six special agents,
twenty-six special inspectors of customs
and ten persons whose names were on
what is known as the Fraud roll )"
This fraud roll was well named, for in
the past, management of the depart
ment it has covered fraud in every sense
of the word The roll war established
under an appropriation of 100000 by
Congress to enable the Treasury Depart
ment to pay for information received
concerning frauds on the revenue and
to employ agents to investigate certain
cases. 1t was not intended to furnish
the means of keeping alive lot of
barnacles who could not be supported
in any other way, but itwas soon di-
verted chiefly to that purpose. The
fraud roll became a permanent thing
and some OF the men whose names
were borne on it were kept on it wheth-
er they had duties to perform or not.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Inter Mountain, speaks CT the Demo-
cratic ticket in a very complimentary
way. We take the libert: of making
the following extracts:
Mr.. Franks nomination was the
strongest one that could have been
made. Mr.. frank is d respectable
Democrat, and d gentleman OF means,
Intelligence and public spirit. : = \
On the score Ofpersonal character and
ability, however, the Inter Mountnin
has nothing to urge against Mr..
Frank, and should he be elected it
will he the first to congratulate him.

III the selection Of j. r. Russell for
the Office of City Treasurer, but the
ruse is too thin. He was nominated
by a certain element Of the Demcc-
racy as a sop to the resDectability of
tie party. Mr.. RUSSELL is a thor
oughly honest man. Mr.. Mccarthy
who was nominated for City Marshal,
has been an active member Of the fire
company and is a man who pays
olllCC 0CtCLLAtA w LILO uuoluCSo dlu
conducts it s~quarely. \ $ Mr..
Curtis, who received the nomination
for City Attorney, will probably
not be heard eff any more during
the canvass and will most likely re-
sign from the ticket. Mr.. Curtis is a
very prominent citizen and an able
lawyer and we question whether he
would consent to compete for a CITY
office just for the money there is in
i. Captain Nichols will make a
good run for the police magistracy.
y : : AS a whole the Democratic
ticket is not by any mea a weak
one.
This is very complimentary indeed
and the absence Of virility and abuse
is as creditable to our neighbor as it
is fl altering to the candidates. This
is going to be a campaign IN which
the best men will win.

The editor of the Wood River
Times has been pummeled. The
assailant was one Judge Street, Pro-
bate Judge of the county. 1t appears
that this delectab!e judge presented a
claim of So, al. 20 to the County Com
missloners for services as Probate
Judge during the first quarter of
1885. From this it may be inferred
that "Judge' Street IS not in the
Wood River country "for his heath"
The County Commissioners cut his
bill down to $S5O.4O and refused to
allow the balance. The Times, as
became a paper loyal to the tax
payers, published the facts in the
case, and protested against the steal
being allowed, for any system of fees
that Will bring a Probate Judges sal
airy to s. 5000 OF S., 500 is a dead steal.
This apostle Of the law, charged and
sworn to enforce the laws, in the
anger over his exposure committed a
public breach of the peace by assault
ing the honest newspaper man.
Judge Street should be 'tired" from
his position.

The pardon of Jefferson Davis is

The pardon Of Jefferson Davis is
Just now attracting considerable at
tention. 1t WAS all brought about
by the action CT a publisher at Mer-
iden, Miss, who made an appeal to
President Cleveland to pardon Mr..
Davis and thus blot out the last ves-
tige of bitterness left by the war.
The objection is raised that Mr..
Davis should himself make the re-
quest, which is good. He is deprived
of citizenship simply because he has
not asked to have his political disa-
biijties removed. Ii he wishes again
to become an American citizen he
should have the manliness to ask for
the boon over his own signature.
Technically, he may be charged with
treason, but upon that there could
never have teen 4 conviction,
NOT even in the exciting moments
Immediately succeeding the war.

The future policy Of the MINER
will be quite advanced enough upon
all public questions to suit the most
progressive and most captious. 1t
may not remain in the worn grooves
aud may occasionally "fyt the Traces"
but it will always justify its con-
duct by the honesty of its intentions.
The present management has moth
ing whatever to do with the past OF
the paper, with what has been good,
had or Indifferent. In the future it
will be devoted to news, to a fair and
manly discussion of public events
and to the advocacy of the interests
of Butte. In our career we do not
expect to please everybody and we
may say IN advance that we shall not
attempt to do so. We shall not be
able to bring about in q day the
changes that we have in view, but
they will be brought about in due
season.

The indications are that Re-
publican friends will tomorrow have
a regular monkey and parrot time'
in their Convention. They have
been holding primaries all over the
city for the last two or three days,
and If the indications are not decep-
tive there will be enough delegates
about the Court House tomorrow to
hold three or four Conventions. BY
the way, that might not be a bad
scheme. Two or three tickets would
make places enough to give all the
would-be statesmen positions. They
will have just as much chance Of
electing three tickets as one, so this
playing at politics can do no harm.
