Fills the Vacancy on Its Leg.

Mr.. Lee Mantle has been selected to fill
the causd by Capt. Wyman's res
ig~nation. and who had been yankcd off
their ticket some time ago to make room
for one of the BOSSES" w. O. Speer, ESQ.,,
who is now East, was the sschoice of
two-thirds of the committee, but the cry
was raised that Speer being absent he
would be defeated.
Chairman Pinkham felt very indignant
over the nomination of Mantle, and al
lowed that If The MINER had not stated
that Mr.. Speer would no doubt be placed
on the Republican ticket that he would
have received the appointment. Dog
game it," he remarked, faint it bad enough
to havc one member of the Central Com
mites on the ticket. without putting on
another? This makes two of the Central
Committee that have been put on since
the Convention adjourned-Mantle and
myself. The first thug you know people
will begin to talk, saying that the Repub-
lican Central Commit ee all want to get on
the ticket. To tell you the truth, it does
look bad; no use talking. When l received
the nomination at the hands OF the Com
mittee as their nominee for Probate Judge,
l thanked them for the honor, and told
them that if they had anyone else whom
they wanted to put in my place as Chair
man to do so. Mantle was there, and l
thought he could devote more time to it
and give better satisfaction as Chairman
than L. You know certain candidates will
talk, and sayt that being Chairman Of the
County Central Committee, l will favor
my own candidacy, and Ito a man up a
tree) it will look that way. l asked Man
tie to accept the Chairman hip, but he re-
fused. l never thought for a moment that
he wanted to get on the Legislative ticket.
Well, so it goes. I was at the head OF the
Republican County Central Committee and
he at the foot. Both are now provided
for. l ouly hope that none of the balance
of the Committee want Office, or else the
dickens will be to pay. You know how
Speer and l stood together. He was my
bosom friend, and 1 would like to havehad
him on the ticket, but for thr sake Of har-
mony l had to .acquiese in what Mantle
AMI the balance of the Committee did.
Don't say anything about it, hut look IN
this evenings Inter Mountain, where you
will see it announced that Lee Mantle has
been selected and placed on the ticket.

WHY IT Was Done.

WASHINGTON, October 13.-Further ak
vices have been received by the State De-
partment to-day touching the action of the
Canadian authorities in hauling down the
American flag on the schooner Grimes.
The facts, as officially stated, are that the
anniversary of the birthday of the Captain
of the Grimes occurred while his vessel was
in the custody of Canadian officers, and he
celebrated that event by hosting the Amer
lean flag over his vessel. The customs Off
GERS have confessed that the mistake was
made in summarily lowering the colors and
have * pressed regret at the occurrence, and,
as the Grimes has been released, no further
notice will be taken OF the case by the De-
partment of State.
