PAUL'S MACHINE SMASHED.

The voters of the First Division have smash ed the Paul machine. William L. Paul. it's leader, has been defeated as has A. L. Olts, running with him for Representative Allen Shattuck of Juneau and A H. Ziegler of Ket- chikan have been elected Representatives There is scarcely doubt that N. R. Walker of Ketchkan has been elected Territorial Senator and there is still chance that Nels Anderson of Douglas will pull through for Representative. In fact the entire Democratic Divisional ticket is leading at this writing in the First Division. but il is expected that the precncts yet to report will give Grover c. Vim place in the Legislature, and probably P Mccormack of Wrangell will win out. This that the First Division will have a delegation in the Legislature that will not take orders from Paul. It means that the people of this Division did good days work on election day. They have done their part toward clearing the way for the advancement of Alaska.
 Mir Sutherland has been reelected Delegate to Congress, but by greatly reduced majority The aggregate vote in those sections of the Territory that canvassed by Mr. Grigsby gave the latter majority. It is quite evident that if the Democratic nominee had been able to have devoted a few weeks to his cam pagn he would have been successful The people have become tired of Mir Sutherland his auar- relling and his game of personal politics It is safe to predict that he will never again be elected to represent Alaska in Congress
 Under the circumstances, the run made by MT. Grigsby is wholly to his credit It is con ceded that he made splendid campaign-one that made votes for him wherever he went His position on the issues was strong and ably pre- sented and the reaction was favorable To him must be given credit for opening the eyes of the electorate and breaking the hold Mir Suther- i land had on the Territory

THE NEW PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.

The new President-Eleot of Mexico Portes Gil Is only thirty-seyen years of age yet he has risen to high distinction in his own country He is lawyer and has served as member of the Supreme Court of the State of Sonora He also was Governor of the State of Tamaulipas He is now Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Gales He will become the Chief Executive of his country December
 II IS said that-shall call him Judge Gil until he becomes President made good in every position he has held During his incumbency as Governor of Tamaulpas he more than doubled the number of schools in the State according to heWspapermen, and left behind a distinguished record of social legislation when he went to Mexico City to become a Cabinet member in the Presidency by the friends of Obregon and Calles and elected by the unanimous vote of Congress He must retire according to the rules of the game February 5, 1880 He cannot be can didate for reelection that time It is presumed that he will carry forward the principles of the late Gen. obregon and President Gales. as he has promised that he will
 The most significant thing about this election IS that President Gales good soldier with q devoted and effective army at his command oho Iutely dominating the situation with the Consti tutional right to have his term extended for two years on account of the assassination of Gen opreson between the date of his election and that set for his inauguration. voluntarily retired ana announced that he would not continue in ohlee enc day beyond the term for which he was originally elected. That sort of thing has not often been done in Mexico-not even since the revolution Gen. Obregon retired at the end os HIS term and turned the government over to Gen. Cailes but he could not have extended his tenura without violating the Constitution
 The circumstance that the new President is not soldier and never commanded troops will De another precedent in that country Hereto lore the Chief Executive of Mexico has been the commander of the army and has been one that It was believed could hold his position with the army under his command
