The "swaddling band" editor of the St. Johns Herald is nowt)i ing to wriggle out of the recent aspersion cast On he characters of the ex-chief justices Of this territory by quoting eulogy it paid to Judge Wright. It very adroitiy, how ever, publishes one sentence leaving out entirely its connection with the rest of the article, which was capable of one con- strution only in its entirety, and the one put on it by all who read il, VIZ that Judge Wright was the first to occupy the bench in that county who was above bribery and corruption. The language was far more clear and pointed than the "fiue work" accusation in the Albu- querque Citizen article on which con- viction of libel was had.

Of all the cutting sarcasm of m dern times, Thomas NJ. Patterson, a oandi- date for the United States senate from Colorado and delegate to the St.
 Louis convention from that state, perp,-
 ualed ii before ,he latter body. A sohd silver eavel had been manufactured as 3 gift to the permanent chairman of the convention, and t fell the lot of Mr.
 Patterson, who IS interested in miniF z m Colorado, to make the presentation speech In doing so, he had no doubt: President Cieveland's views on lie sll- Yer question, in mlnd and spoke as follows; "It was, he sad, modest offering from the young members oi the federal union to that party which had restored silver to that high plare from which it had been degraded by the COL gressional conspiracy of 1878 ard which had ever since remained its con- stapt champion" This bit of keen, double edged irony brought down the house with an immense outburst of 3D. p'ause. Had he quoted the following paragraph in Grover Cleveland's letter Of 1884, and urged tine convention 10 adopt its sentiments as part ot Its platform he might have added "then, gentlemen, you will restore degraded silver to a still higher plane, to one Tn which its chief and sole use will be the manufacture of gavelsfor use in demo- cratic conventions. Here is Growers idea ot silver as expressed Tn ISS4 and reiterated in his message of 1886. "I hope you concur with me in deeming 1t most desirable to maintain and continue Tn use the mass of gold coined. This IS possible by the present suspention of the purchase and coinage of silver. am not aware that by any other method it is possible"

The number of self sacrificing demo- cratic patriots. who are willing to be immolated on the after of their party, by running for sheriff at the next cleo tions shows fealiy to party, and q zeal for the public welfare (2) that is aston ishing. Although several precincts remain to be heard from yet we have heard the following names mentioned. First Is ]. R. Walker win W. A. Rowe close second. The former has the support of the stockmen while Mir Rowe's candidacy would bring to his support the solid democratic vote of the mining population, with possible stray republican one, here and there, unless the opposition had the very best kind of man up for the position. Other names mentioned are George C. Waddell. the present under sheriff, 4. G. Oliver, Robert Blair. Mir. Low cry, Charles Cathrene. of Flagstaff, and one of the Shipp brothers. As other precincts are heard from they will be promptly reported.

The delay of the senate in acting

The delay of the senate in acting upor the nomination of Melville W. Fuller fol chief justice is owing to the fact tha most serious and damaging charges have been preferred against him by Dr. Dumlevy, of Chicago.
