of the Territory OF Montana on til,
ground that he is republican ami To

Tooe in securing disappointment. Mr.
Toole said: shortly after Judge Me
Connell resigned received II telegram
from that gentleman and Hon. W. +.
Cullen, "A prominent member OF the
Helena bar both democrats). asking
me to secure the appointment OF ex-
Governor Carpenter, IL prominent re-
publican of the territory, as chei Jus
tice OF Montana. About the same
time ! received telegram from Will

prominent members OF the Helena bar
tboth Democratsl. saying that Hon.
ID. :. Wade, "a Republican, would be
acceptable if his appointment could be
secured. There were no Democratic ic
a-pirants for the appointment, 1t be-
ing conjeciu ured that n Republican sell
ate would not confirm n Democrat
upon the heels OF this adminiSt rat ion.
! submitted the matter to the presi-
dent. II did not take him long to dis
pose OF Gen. Carpenter. as that gen, le-
man had been removed from he Otli ce
oil governor upon the written request
OF prominent Republicans and Dem >
erats, whose names ] will not mention.
Concerning Judge Wade, he said that
an uninterrupted service of sixteen
years i'm n growing territory embracing
cosmopolitan population was of il
self "a strong testimonial to his lJudgc
Wade 81 character and ability. but he
did not like the idea of doing that

whom ! had heret ofore made honor
able mention, insisting upon him al
lowing me to Use his name tor this ap-
pointment, assuring him of his con
iirmation; the president thought that

Thereupon said to the president that

confident thai he would be satisiac-

they would vastly prefer his appoint

Helena independent

New YORK, Feb. 26.-DeleeateT Toole
of Montana, is spending a few days at
st. Johns hotel. Mr.. Toole, speaking
about the admission of Montana, said:
Montana will becomeea full fiedged
state in December. We will hold an
election in May to choose delegates to
the constitutional convention that
will be held in July. The election of
state officers will be in Oct ober, and in
November the legislature will meet and
elect two United States senator's. l
feel very hopeful of Montana being
democratic state. 1t is naturally one,
and our defeat last November was
nothing more nor less than a protest
by our party against the territory be-
ing kept in servitude. A large number
of democrats thought the territory
had remained out OF the sisterhoOd of
states long enough and they held the
democratic party responsible. Now
that the democrats have passed the
bill takingin the new states, these DEM
ocrats will undoubtedly come back to
the fold, and there are more than
enough of them to overcome the 5000
republican majority of last fall. There
will be a good deal OF politics in Mon
tana during the next six months and
both parties will make q desperate
fight to carry the state"

General Custer.

The tragic death of Custer on the
Little Big Horn, in June 25th, 1876,
will ever remain fresh in the minds
OF the people. To great many it
will be looked upon as piece of fool
hardness and a reckless sacrifice of
valuable lives to crafty personal am
bition. Custer was not model hero.
\ man should be unselfish to become
such. He was n military despot and
as such was thoroughly hated by the
majority OF his soldiers. His dash
and energy in action aroused their
admiration for him as a leader and
went far IN offsetting the contempt
ible traits OF his character. 1t has
been said OF him that he thought more
OF his stag hounds than he did OF a
private soldier, and showed them
greater consideration. His military
career is evidently being subjected TO
criticism, Judging from the following
scathing article taken from the
Portland Oregonian:
Gen. Custer was a military adven-
turer and man OF repulsive private
character. Under orders from Sheri-
dan he was OF important service as u
daring and energetic trooper, but be-
yond this courage and recklessness
which made him an efficient instru-
ment OF destruction when guided and
restrained by Sheridan, Custer is OF no
historical consequence. Read Sheri-
dams memoirs, and it will be perfectly
plain that he regarded Gen. Merritt as
an able man, to whose skill and discre-
tion he could safely trust, while Custer
was nothing but a bold, reckless
trooper, who could not be trusted
beyond his strict orders. Mackenzie,
younger than Custer, was admired and
trusted by Sheridan because he was a
man OF intense intellectually and
soldierly behavior; but Custer was OF
the type OF Boutwell,, whom Balfour
OF Burley kills in Old Mortality He
was tall, strong, muscular, bold,
reckless, unprlncipled rooper, with all
the vices OF IA soldier and none OF his
virtues, save animal courage. After
the warCuste er's character in the army
was detestable. He was insubordi-
late; was often in arrest, and was
notoriously selfish, reckless soldier,
who would be sure to break his orders
II he could make a point for himself
After the war he did nothing beyond
the surprise OF camp oil sleeping
Indians on "A wintry night. He lost
his life and sacrificed his whole per-
sonal command in his selfish ambition
to steal all the glory before Terry,
Gibbon and Crook could come up.
Had he lived he would have been
court-martialed for his violation OF
orders. Altogether Gen. Custer was a
very mean, selfish, immoral man, OF
small military capacity but vast am
bition. He was a miserable military
demagogue. He attended the famous
Andy" johnson arm-in-arm Phila-
delphia convention in 1866, and he
hastened to abuse President Grant
before the committee OF the house OF
representatives III May, 1876. Custer
was a gambler, IA roue, a military .les-
perado, adventurer, and bully; and
every officer OF the regular army who
was "A hightoned man OF honor and
courtesy who knew him disliked him.
The figure OF such man in the ma
tional gallery of statuary would not
stand for Michigan; it would not stand
forgrand soldiership or tine character"

Capt. John j. Healy, writing from
