THE IDAHO DELEGATEsn1r.

Utah and Idaho join each other and |
their people are more or less intermixed !
as relates to social and business affairs;
we are somewhat interested in our
neighbours welfare, and have no doubt
that it occasionally looks with reciprocal
feelings this'way.
The principal point concerning which
We are just now looSing Idahowards is
the delegateship. There are two
candidates = Haley and singiser'
The former is the Democratic,
the latter the Republican candi-
date. and each has been in
Congress once before. 1t is tolerably
well understood that THE HERALD
favors the election of HALEY, and it
has good reason for doing so.
In the first place. it is tolerably GER
tain that the Democrats viii control the
government on and after the fourth
of next March, and it is desirable that
our northern neighbor send TO Congress
man who will be in sympathy with
the new administration. The reasons
! for this are too numerous to recite, and
too manifest to make such recital neces-
sary.
second-The supporters OF singiser,
and Singiser himself. have without suffi-
Gent cause endeavored to drag religious
differences into the canvass, and make
the contest appear as between the
Mormons and the anti-Mormons. This
is piece of political pettifogging de-
serving not only contempt but punish
ment.
Third-Hailey is a man thoroughly
identified with the people of Idaho and
an active worker in their cause, always
in sympathy with any movement look
ing to personal or public improvement
Singiser is carpet-bagger, and is inter
ested in nothing but Singiser.
Fourth-Hailey is a man of character,
standing and ability; Singiser is not
Fifth-Hailey is not trickster nor a
demagogue; Singiser is both.
There are some other specifications
that might be named, but the above
viii suffice for the present.
The Salt Lake Tribune, in an editorial
yesterday morning, called attention to
the fact that theMormons living in Idaho
would probably vote for the Democratic
nominee; tried in q feeble and
rambling way to show compact
{ between the religious and political or
CARNATIONS having that result in view
! and wound up by hopingthat "the Gen
t tiles OF that Territory understand the
r ituation-understan it thoroughly.
THE HERALD hopes so, too.
: 1t not only hopes SO, but hiss goot
e cause for believing that they do,

r capable man Singiser is. They find NJ

d Singiser pronounces reason why tl.os
who differ religiously with the peopl
,s who cast it should unite on him, h
70 would take it gladly, cheerfully an
i. thankfully; that the fact of hi
" being unable to capture it is the caus
% of his present attitude; that therefor
ID his pretensions are hypocritical and ir
N consistent and that he is unworthy c
n their confidence and support. The
es know HALEY, know him well, an
II know nothing against him; they ar
also gradually growing into a knowledg
of his opponent and have learned of bu
