THE DUTY on DEMOcRArs

The n~nanimity prevailing among the
Democratic forces is somewhat alarming
TO the Republicans, and causes them to
renew their efforts to force a division in
the Democratic ranks. Democrats should
beware Of such schemes.
Nor should they rely upon Republican
discussions.
The duty Of patriotic and loyal Demo.
Gratis is to get together" as suggested
by Randall, and stay together. That il
nos only the first duty. but also the fna
duty.
Connected with this necessity is tina
Of seeing to it that every Democrat il
registered. Individual effort can d,
much in this direction, and where thi
fails, organized effort should be brough
into requisition.

The fact that the Silver Bow Republi-
can convention, last Monday, voted down
Mr.. Nantes resolution condemning the
constitutional convention for ousting
county officers is the best proof that that
body had no kick coming on that score.
The plank in their platform is only a
half-hearted apology for an arraignment.

"They say we put these people [the
county oficers] out Of office. This is not
true. Your judiciary committee in that
convention, composed both Of Republi-
cans and Democrats, said that the act of
Congress put them out of Office. Of
course, they said the convention had the
inherent right to provide for their reten-
ton, but the convention had too much
respect for the rights OF the people and
knew their duties too well to usurp the
functions of the people in declaring who
their officers should be."-LMajor Ma
ginnis in the Democratic convention,
Tuesday.

HIS CHARACTER DAMAGED,

A Sewing Machine Agent Who Wants
Some of The Miners Money.
G. W. Bressler, the sewing machine agent
who has gotten himself into disgrace, has
probably heard OF the tremendous riches
which all newspaper men have stored away
in old tin cans, gumboots and in the gar
rets OF their palaces and has come to the
conclusion that he wants a portion OF them.
For that reason he has sued The MINER for
libel and defamation of character and
thinks the damages he has sustained will
footup about IS, 900 and accordingly wants
that amount. At least he SO sets forth in
an action begun in the district court yes.

wrongs which he is compelled to suffer in
consequence OF an article which appeared
in yesterdays MINER. The wonder is why
the gentleman values his reputation so
cheaply, and why he did not sue for a
greater amount.
