The Commissioner snarl,

It is q peculiar state of mus that Com
missioner Arnold's misdirected resigna-
ton has gotten himself aud Mr.. Bechtel
into. The law is distinct in saying that
any county officer can resign by filing
his resignation with the county auditor,
and if fled thirty days preceding an
election, then a new commissioner shall
be elected to gil the vacancy. Mr..
Arnold did resign and placed his resig-
nation in the hands Of the county auditor
who thereupon called for the election Of
his successor in the election notices. But
it now appears that the resignation was
addressed to the chairman of the board
and the commissioners and not to the
county auditor. The commissioners
deem that communication addressed
to them is not addressed to the auditor,
and consequently Mr.. Arnold las not
yet resigned. There was therefore no
vacancy. and the election of Mr.. Bechtel
was VOID. Further, the resignation was
to take effect on January LIST. This be-
ing the case, the resignation did not
create vacancy. at any rate. until the
time mentioned and therefore there was
no vacancy thirty days previous to Nov.
9th.
The following is the resolution passed
by the commissioners:
Whereas, on this, the 18th day Of Nov.
1888, the auditor of this county, ]. H.
Bird, presented to this board commun.
ication from II. e. Arnold rendering his
resignation to the chairman Of this
board, and
Whereas, the statute of this territory
requires the resignation of any elective
county officer lexcept the county clerk)
10 be made to the county clerk or auditor
Of their respective county, the said re-
signation to take effect on the flrst day
of January, 1889. and
Whereas. it appearing from the statute
that the Board ofCounty Commissioners,
not being the proper persons to whom
the resignation Of commissioner should
he rendered, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the chairman Of this
board be instructed to return said res,g.
nation to the said Commissioner H. q.
Arnold.

One of the queer things about this

One of the queer things about this
to have acted just the opposite from
what everybody expected. The re.
publicans make great gains in the
Northwestern states while the manu-.
featuring states of New Jersey and
Connecticut have gone democratic
The st. Paul Pioneer Press explains it
by saying that it is because the peo-
pie have chosen to give the republi.
cans the job of reducing the revenue
rather than the democrats, being i'm.
PEELED to do this by the dislike they
had to the Mills bill and Cleveland s
apparent policy.

THE TERRITORY.

From present appearances, while we
have elected Geo. a. Mathews by al.
most as large majority as Mr.. Gift.
ford, yet the complexion of the next
House of Representatives, is such that
he is not likely to serve out his full
term. 1t is possible indeed that the
present House will submit to the in.
evitable and at once proceed to admit
us as state. Particularly will this
be tempting to the present House, as
being democratic they may wish to
relieve themselves of the odium which
is now attached to them for nor. lad.
mission. and also because they may
thus be able to have some influence in
guiding the new states into future
democratic haven.
If they do this the matter of state.
hood can he all settled up within a
year or so. If not it will take six
months or more longer. At any rate
our political pot only commenced to
hoil OIL election day and will he kept
steaming for the next two years. 1t
is probable that all county officers will
hold over; but there will be Il double
set of state officers elected, including
senators. representatives, governors,
Observation-Disclosures of
public instruction, judges, clerks of
court, ETC., and many a politician is
already putting on his armor bound to
win name and position. There will
be constitutional conventions and per.
haps new legislature next winter.
That much will be done for the
veal or woe of our fair territory dur.
ing the next two years is certain.
That the work may be we'll done is
our hope.

THE VICTORY.

The victory is 81 complete that the
republicans lave ceased to be surpris.
ed at anything. The tidal wave has
rolled throughout the length and
breadth of the land, and its effects are
seen all along its course. Hardly 4
democratic state but has Il decreased
majority and the republican states
have rolled up such magnificent ma
jorities that we have to go back to
war times to find presidents. Par.
ticularly is this true in the northwest
ern and sO.called doubtful states.
Minnesota, whose majority for Nc.
Gill two years ago was only 5000, has
gone about 10000 for Harrison and
$4,000 for Merriam and elected five re.
publ can congressman against two re.
publicans and three democrats last
year. Iowa gives an old time major.
ity of 10000; Illinois 1000 and Michi.
gan and Wisconsin do as well. Per.
haps the greatest surprise of all was
Delaware. little state deemed hope.

ator Saulsbery, which. though demo.
cratic Oh the presidential vote, has
elected enough republicans to its legis.
lature to give working majority OH {;
joint ballot, and thus ensures the cleo
ton of a republican U. S. Senator.
Missouri elects three republican con
gressmen, and SO it goes all along the
line. There is a majority of about
twenty for the republicans in the Ma
tional house, and If, as supposed a
this writing, West Virginia has gon,

electoral votes to elect him withou
