The country was informed by the re-
publican organs that when the republi-

have an end to dilatory work in congress,
that lagislation would be rushed and the

The uncertainty as to Carter's inten-
tions causes toll and trouble in the re-
publican camp and the west side
brethren continue to be like sweet
bells tangled out Of tune. 1t Is certain
that the Silver Bow delegation will
never be able to unite on candidate
from that county, and it is doubtful if
any man on the other side of the range
would be acceptable to both Butte
factions. The ablest and strongest
republican on the west side, Judge
Hiram Knowles, would have exactly
filed tho bill but the judges elevation
to life place on the bench has taken
him out Of the range of possibilities and
out Of politics entirely. As judge he
represents all Montana and the west
side will have to relinquish it's exclusive
claim to him. Captain Mills, of Deer
Lodge, is the only man in the republi
can list from the west side who does MOI
belong to faction, and it is extremely
doubtful IL he could be coaxed to give
nm his comfortable federal Office for tn,
unremunerative and unsatisfactory place
Of representative in congress, even if HI
could be elected. A review OF the situa
ton at this time leads us to tn
conclusion that the republicans will
have to look elsewhere than to the ives
sde.if Carter drops out. Helena,of course
would be barred, and the cow countie
would have their inning. Would Sur
yeyor-G General Eaton be the man? 1
looks like it now. He is very pleasan
gentleman and was shabbily treated il
the house Of his friends last year whel
he wanted to be governor. Still W
think it will be Carter.

mistreated the Indians in his Wild

that he allowed them to get drunk

The latest political story comes
from Washington, and is to the
effect that Cleveland has said he will
not be candidate in '92, but will
use his influence for the nomination
of ex-Secretary Whitney. It is said
that Whitney is popular with both
the democratic factions in New York
and that neither Hill or Cleveland
could carry the state because neithers
friends would support the other, and
New York being considered the pivo-
tai state upon which the result
hinges, it is necessary to the success
of the democrats to choose leader
that can carry the state. Of course
the BANNER believes this is all bosh.
In the first place it don't believe
that Cleveland is responsible for the
sayings accredited to him, and in
the second it don't believe that if
Cleveland was nominated Hills
friends in New York would "knife"
HIM, but it don't believe that New
York will be the pivotal state upon
which rests the hope of Democracy
in '92

The covenant on the part of the vendors
IN bill of sale of merchandise in

Tor the time of five years within 3
radius OF five miles, was that they will
not during such time or in said area
engage In, or interest themselves in
carrying on or conducting a mercan-
tile business. and if they or either of
them shall so engage in mercantile
business, they or he shall thereupon
forfeit and pay to the said party of the
second part, and his executors admin
istrators and assigns, one thousand
dollars"
Held; although the sum OF one thousand
dollars is liquidated damages, equity
has jurisdiction to enjoin the defen-
dant from committing a breach of the
covenant, it not appearing that the
payment of the one thousand dollars
was an alternative which the vendor
(defendant) had the option TO adopt in
lieu of strict performance of the con-
tract.
