THE NOMINEES.

Both political parties in this county
have held their and placed
tickets in the field. The campaign will
not begin in earnest for IA month yet,
then it will he conducted,w we believe, in
the most friendly manner by the op-
posing candidates. The conventions
may have left some wounds. and such
is usually the ease, but the people
have no interest in individual griev-
ances In local politics men will vote
for men instead of party. They are
governed by social relations and per-
sonal considerations in many instan-
ces. and eminent fitness in Others.
In the two tickets presented the tax
payers of the county will find no
trouble in making a choice.

General Lord Wolseley, who is con-
sidered one OF the greatest soldiers OF
the age, recently paid Sheridan the
following tribute: II should greatly
like to take part i'm any meeting or
undlert aking that is meant to do honor
to so great AN American general as
your late Commander-in-Ch His
career always had for me the greatest
interest II WAS he who first taught
the mounted troops of the United
States what the real power of their
arm was, and how they could be used
TO the greatest advantage. No one
ntributed more largely to bring
the war to an end than did General
Sheridan. He was "a grand fellow all
round, and feel as proud of him and
of his achievements as II he held a
commission oi the Queen instead oi
one OF the President.

The question has arisen among
stockmen concerning the liability OF
their herds to taxation after being
brought from another section to this
county. The law rs held by the
county assessor compels them to pay
taxes on cattle brought into this
county during the term OF the assess
ing year whether taxes have been paid
previously during that year in some
other locality or not. An injustice is
worked by this law il the inference is
correct. ct.-YellOwstone Journal.

A MATTER OF HONOR.

There is little apprehension in this
county as regards the action OF Park
county in relation to joint council
man. Democrats and republicans
OF this county have had assur
ances that the nominees OF our
conventions would be endorsed by
Park county, but it would appear
from special to the Independent
from Livingston, that the delegation
TO the Butte convention was pledged
for one Field, of that place, for coun-
Gilman, it being their intention to
confer with the Fergus delegation as
regards choice. As they have one
more delegate than Fergus and rs this
county will only be represented 10y one
in person Hon. Granville Stuart
they are liable to capture the prize.
But they may be governed by II sense
of honor and the Justice OF Fergus
claim to Representations, and endorse
Mr.. Stuart. We will see.
The republican convention OF that
county is i'm session to-day. Whether
the convention will keep the promises
OF the county committeeman, remains
to he seen. We have reason to believe
that they will endorse the nominee OF
this convention, but doubtful things
are very uncertain; one had better he
"a little skeptical.
There is likely to be full legislative
case OF Meagher and Fergus two years
ago, which resulted in giving us no
represent at ion at Helena, whatever.

The political contest is beginning to
warm up in Indiana. An Indianapo-
lis special says there are $500 local
democratic speakers throughout the
state, who have already canvassed
their own counties and are now ex-
changing with the adjoining counties.
The republican state committee have
800 speakers listed, which will be
increased as the campaign progresses.
Documents arrive and depart from
headquarters by the wagon load.
1t will be a season OF prosperity for

There is no abatement Of the
yellow fever scourge. .JacksOnvi!le,
Florida, a city that once contained
2O,OOO inhabitants, now has less
than 1000. and i'm few days the
place will be depopulated. There will
be no one left but the afflicted and
their nurses. IL is thought the epi-
demic will last from tour to six weeks
vet, during which time there must be
great suffering unless relief is extended.
The generous heart of the north was
never appealed to in vain. Already
New York and Philadelphia are raising
large amounts to be forwarded to the
afflicted city. Other cities will soon
respond in like manner and the home
less and afflicted gwen substantial
