that If he succeeded he only gave away

he paid his own money. The record will
show that the twilight organ could not

A Description of the Baltimore" the
Largest in the New Navy.
PHILADELPH1A, October 6.-The new

asm. The Baltimore is the largest vessel
yet constructed for what is called the new

DOES MR.. CARTER APPROVE I'VE
DOUBT lit.

DOES MIR. CARTER APPROVE 1--WE
DOUBT III.
If there is one thing more apparent
than another, in connection with the
management or rather Encouragement
OF this campaign, it is that all the SIAN
der and abuse of the candidates is on the
side Of the Republicans. The MINER
and the other Democratic papers of the
Territory have refrained from this spe-
cies of campaigning, preferring to rely
upon the merits of the cause they es-
pouse and the general excellence and
good character of the candidates whose
claims they advocate.
On the other hand the Republican Or
gan in Butte, which is supposed to speak
for its party in Silver Bow County, every
afternoon bespatters its foulness most
freely, either in the form of low, serpen-
tine, undetermined inuendoes, or in occa-
sional direct assaults upon character.
The especial object Of that sheets cheap
Intellectual filings is Mr.. Clark, a man
who is generally conceded to be a good
citizen, and a man above reproach. Yet
the Republican organ in this city tries
its best to make some of the SCOT from
its own clothes stick upon him.
Nor is the Inter Mountain" alone in
this disreputable business. The Helena
"Record"-whose editor is a graduate Of
the "Inter Mountain" style of journal
ism-seems determined to Guido its tutor
and prototype in villifcation of the Dem
ocratic candidate for Delegate. Follow
Ing the lead of these two journals which
ought to set a better example for the
weaklings OF their flock around the Ter.
ritOry-the other Republican newspapers
are trying to initiate them, in their own
feeble way. L
Now, what do these slanderers hope to
gain by their methods They hope to
elect MIR. Carter, we dare say. And vet
we question very much if that gentle
man approves of these slurs, filings and t
dark intimations against his opponent c
what ought to be a decent and honor r
able contest. We much doubt if he caresI
10 be elected by such means. In brief.
have a better opinion of MIR. Carter E
han to charge him with encouraging or G
approving Of such campaign methods.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

The following question was propounded
by the Inter Mountain"
"By the way, where WIS the Hon. W. A.
Clark in the days OF '61?"
The MINER will tell you where he was.
In 1861 Mr.. Clark was teaching school in
Iowa. He was instructing the young
children how to properly appreciate the
beniicence of the government under
which they were born. At the same time
he was prosecuting his labors to cultivate
u good intellect which he inherited from
an honorable parentage. His father was
also named Clark, and his life was an
honorable one.
Now, then, who and where were YOU
in 1861?
