The Bynum, McAdoo, Golden club
combination are receiving a pounding
from the northwestern newspapers
that is making them sorry they ever
came west. They have yet visited no
city where local Democratic talent does
not overtower them. Their wool ar
guments fall flat because they are in a
wool country. Their silence on the
subject of lead brands them as hypo-
critics or ignoramuses. The more they
talk Of calamity, which is their stock
in trade, the more the people laugh at
them. The best thing they can do is
TO turn tail and go back east. But
even there they will meet no welcome
as long as they preach free trade and
contend that the best way to help the
Am erican ~workingman is to deprive
him of employment and import every
thing he makes or uses from foreign
countries .-Inter Mountain.

Already leading Democrats through
out the country are trembling rel the
prospects of defeat in Ohio, and some
are even conceding it. To let them
selves down easy they are going to at
tribute the result to the attitude of the
party on silver. This, they claim, was
a great blunder. Democracy is always
apologizing for its blunders. 1t has
been wrong thirty years at least. Ad-
~vocating free trade and the destruction
of the home market will do the party
more harm than the advocacy of free
coinage. Any port in a storm, how
ever.

On September S0th Gen. Boulanger,
the famous French I~mperialist, com.
mitted suicide at the grave of his mis-.
tress, Nine. Bonnemain, ear Brussels,
Belgium. Grief over the loss of his
friend and disappointed ambition are
supposed TO be the cause of the deed
B~oulanger was neither a hero nor q
patriot; his achievements in war oil
peace were not brilliant. His personal
ambition was supreme, and he was
rather IA to the welfare OF
France than a defender. Bereft of
power and exiled, there was little left
for him to live for.

The editor of the Independent and
Calamity Searles, of the Great Falls
Tribune, picked up the lie telegraphed
from the east in connection with tin
making at Piqua, Ohio, and gave it
their endorsement. The lie was man
ufactured by the Cincinnati Enquirer,
a sensational Bourbon sheet, which got
its information from a saloon keeper
at Piqua. That Mckinley dipped
American steel into baths of American
tin and lead and made samples of
American tin-plate is true, and as will
be seen elsewhere is sworn to by the
foreman Of the mills, who is a Demo
crat, and endorsed by the Metal Work
er, n trade publication. OF course
Mckinley did not hire out by the
month; he had another job-that of
defeating Campbell for governor-and
although it was easier thai standing
over a cauldron of moulten metals,
Mckinley made enough to refute the
claim of the free trade liars that tin
could not be made i'm this country. 1t
would seem that the Bourbon press
expects this industry to spring into en-
istence all at once, fully equipped with
every facility and appliance to do the
work as perfectly as it is done in Wales.
This sounds well for a party that has
never done anything for the country
aSaant tn10ron x,hat pAn,h1tna,, have
accomplished. Roofing-tin plate is al
ready on the market, and it will not he
long before household utensils will be
made in large quantities. To deny this
would be to discredit American enter
prise and American ingenuity.

Though the cold chilly winds OF October
blow through our whiskers. our once cor
pulent form resembles the skeleton of a
katydid, and our overalls are sadly in need
Of repairs, yet notwithstanding these dis
couraging affections our hopes for the fu-
ture prosperity of this camp have always
been oil the most sanguiHe nature. And
with the present indications we may look
for a prosperous future. With our smelter
in operation, the Spotted Horse mill run
ming, and prospects OF Mr.. Burgess plant
being started yet this fall, we may well feel
safe in continuing our hopes and expecta-
tons beyond the mere present. With such
Inducements our empty houses will he oc-
cupied, and our village present a more
husiness-like appearance. Let each and
every one directly lend what influence they
possess to make every industry directed
toward the welfare of the camp a complete
success. If you do not receive any benefit
directly, o will indirectly. And don't
imagine that because you are not directly
consulted in regard to matters pertaining
to the interest of the general public that it
is bound to be a failure.

simple remedy. The following incident is
an illustration Of this fact: NY wife was

THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE MINOR VACANCIES
AMONG THE DEMOCRATS.
Washington. Oct 8 lspeciaD.-A private letter has
been received here from a weIl-knovn Democratic
politician in New York. saying that ex-Congressman
Quinn will be candidate for Clerk Of the House OF
Representatives and that II ex-Congressman Iceman
Turner fails to obtain the Tammany nomination for
Coroner, he also will probably be candidate for one
of the leading Offices Of the House, Thomas D.
Coakley sergeantat-arms Of the New-fork Demo
cratic state Committee, is candidate for DoorKeeper
Of the House. As that body elects Only nve omeers-
Clerk. sereeantat-Arms Doorkeeper. Postmaster ana
Chapain-it will be observed that two vacancies VIII
remain after Messrs. Quinn Turner and Coakley nave
been provided for and Is to be hoped that Candidates
for both of those places viii offer themselves from New
York before men from other states preempt them.
1t is understood that Mr.. Coakley, who took the field
as candidate early the morning after the last Con-
gressonal elections, and has been diligently at WORK
ever SINCE Is extremely confident OF success. He has
been employed In the doorkeepers department during
several Congresses and is popular and energetic
officer who has many strong friends among the older
members Of the House.
Representative elect Mckinney, OF New Hampshire,
who has taken up his residence in Washington for the
winter says that he and his thirteen feuowDemocrats
from New En- gland expect to act q unit In the Or
ganzaton Of the House; they yet have reached nc
conclusion to whom they Will support nor the
speakerhip, but expect do so at conference which
Is 10 be held in November. II they are all a. ouoyant
Of disposition as Mr.. Mckinney seems TO be they VIII
doubtless agree TO vote for Springer, who Is by all
odds the most buoyant candidate for Speaker ever
known, not excepting the lamented samuel s. Cox.
Here is taste Of MeKnney's buoyancy and cheerful
ness as a political prophet:
II the interests Of New England are cared for BY the
next Congress and Cleveland Is renomlnated Lh na
he will get the electoral vote OF every NeWEhela1u
state except Maine and Vermont. Rhode Island would
be as safely Democratic South Carolina, anu Lhere
would be no question about Connecticut Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire are ready b swing into
the Democratic column. My own state was Demo
cratic al the last election, but We cheated out
Of the Legislature. The New-Hampshire Democrats
are OF the kind who never get discouraged. Ihey nave
only Ind very small share Of the prizes Of politics,
but they are Just as enthusiastic today as ever.
