The significance OF the work accom-
plished at the Chicago convention is ap
parent to ALL For some time New York
State has been the pivot Of political pref,
erence in the selection Of nominees fol
President. This State has been success.
ful in the past in spreading abroad the
cry among her sister States ''the nominee
must be some one who can carry New
York" This year instead Of its being
the falcrum Of political influence it has
been the fulcrum of factions. Although
New York State has large population,
yet she is not entitled to any more than
h,r representative power Heretofore the
the Pacific Coast and Western States
have yielded to the wishes of the East
But for once they have stood up for their
rights and welded AN influence proper
tionate to their popular strength. The
question as to whether certain candidate
can carry New York, or any other doubt
full State should not enter into the prob
lem Of politics. Such theory does not
give the preference to the best
but compels the adoption of
men who are not opponents Of the prin-
ciples Of parties. The united voice and
wisdom of the people should make choice
of the representative man for Office. With
a due respect for the rights Of the East,
West and South there can be no doubt
but that political parties will select men
better qualified to fulfil the duties Of office,

construction of that read has been COM
menced down Snake river. Every man
whom we hear say anything upon the
subject, says the commencement of the
work on that road will do mere to estab-
lish confidence, revive business, bring
money and population into the country
and that Immediately. than any oth-r
event. There is little doubt that th,.
road will be built There Is less doubt
that work will be commenced on it the
present year, but precisely when 1t
seems to be the policy Of the company
not to publicly announce beforehand
We see no good reason to attach blame
to the company for this prudence although
our plans and purposes nigh, be better
shaped for the coming of the road. did
We know when it would come. All VIE
have TO do is to have faith in its coming
and to make such preparations as can be
afford with view of its coming aud for
the business its advent will surely bring

THE UNCERTAINTY

From the fullness Of hope and faith in
the certainty Of the MOVEMENTS Of rail
roads in this section Of country last year
entertained BY the people, they have
passed now into = state Of doabt
and some are beginning to get discour-
eyed. So sanguine were many that the
Palouse and Columbia road would BE-
built y far east as Moscow and perhaps
further before this time, that they ex-
pended much in Improvement Of their
farms, increased the acreage Of their plow-
INK and seeding, built extensively in their
towns and made preparations for the grand
event, involving themselves in debt by
nortgaging their lands with the full
expecta ton that by the increased bus
ines, BY their increased products aud
ready sale and shipment they would
soon Be- able to iquidate their mortgages
given and thereafter go swimmiugly for.
ward il prosperity and wealth, but alas,
the prospect Of the Palousc road has
faded and al hopes collapsed. This
has been great misfortune not only
to business men and farmers generally,
but 1t has taken the conceit out Of a
majority Of the county seat traders and
specalatora Hopes that were as big as
hogshead last year at this time, can COW
BE- put in thimble. Uncertainty as to
the future reigns everywhere throughout
this section, while high freights, debts
and taxes are our only certainty. Yet the
majority Of the people viii not suffer them.

rustliss and moving, trusting that some
unforseen development in the means OF
transportation win come to their relief be-
fore the end Of the year. All seem now
to look forward to the Oregon Short Line

expect for this section Of country. They

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

The whole country has been lookin:
forward to the time when the nomination
would be made at Chicago with grea
deal Of interest. There is no doubt bu
that the Republican party, as whole
are satisfied with the result of this con
vention. From among their most prem
ineut candidates, they selected men wht
had the largest popular following. Theil
nominee for President, Mr.. James Gil
lespie Blaine, is undoubtedly the mos'
popular man Of his day. He was born
1t Indian Hill Farm, Washington Co.,
Pennsylvania, on the 3lst day of January,
1880. He was graduated at Washing
ton college, Pennsylvania, with high hon
oss when he was only II years cid. Soon
after be was graduated he moved to the
State of Maine and 10 brief period OF
time became editor of the Portland Ad-
Ueytiser, one Of the Oldest and most infu-
ential papers Of the New England States
At the commencement of the Republican
party Mr.. Blaine adopted its principles
and became At once one Of its most prom
inent advocates. At the age of 25 he
was chairman Of the Republican Central
Committee Of his State. From this time
forward he has been an acknowledged
leader Of his party, first in his own State
and later among his parties representa-
tives. He was elected member Of the
legislature Of the State Of Maine four times
serving two terms as its Speaker. He was u
representative in Congress for six years
during the great conflict with the South.
His prevailing theme was the preserva-
ton Of The Union. None were more
sealous than he in striving to relieve his
country from the pcrils Of disuniou. As
soon q the war was over, and the work
Of reconstruction commenced, he origi.
mated the plan which was adopted aud
carried into effect, Of restoring the South
to it, original rights and privileges upor
the condition that it should ratify the
amendments to the constitution. In 1876
he was elected to the United States Sen
ate, and represented his State in Congress
- It's Senator until 1880, when he re.
signed upon accepting seat in Presiden,
Gar6eld's cabinet as Secretary Of State
Thus far il can DO truly said of him tina,
he has been the Henry Clay Of his day
Mr.. John A. Logan, the nominee fol
vice President, was born in Jackson Co.
Illinois, February 8, 1926. He was grad
aated At Louisville university in 1852
He enlisted as private in tho Mexican
war and rose to tho rank Of first keuten

A COWARDLY SNEAK.

A article appears IN the Wala ALA
Watchman, purporting to have been
written in Lapwai, |. r., and signed
Casual" which contains the following
charges against Lewiston:
1T Is not for fear of an indian out
break that the citizens Of Lewiston are
so eager to retain the post, but for the
reason that their city is annually ben
Gifted in amounts ranging from 100000
To $4,000. | have DO doubt there will be
trouble of some kind, even if it has to be
started with keg Of bad whisky, for
have heard remarks made on the streets
Of Lewiston that could, without taxing
ones imagination to any great extent, be
understood that any. 1t is to be hoped
by all who are compelled to be confined
at the post, that General Miles will final
ly determine to break it up, and that the
United States authorities will hang the
first man that creates any disturbance
that would lead to the recall of troops to
that section OF country.
We don't know who wrote the article
but We will wager he is coward or he
would have written upon matter of SO
much importance to the unprotected set
tiers bordering the Nee Perez reservation,
over his own signature and not hid his
identity under an alias. Lewiston took
no more active part than did the settlers
elsewhere against the removal of the gar
rison at Lapwai II is true that Lewis
ton fears no outbreak or raid by the In.
dams on the town, but Lewiston has
sympathy with their friends who are in
exposed places and liable to massacre in
case Of an Indian outbreak. But "Casu
al can see nothing but merceuary mo

friends protected. If Casual should
fail to get the post moved to Walla Walla

Walla Wal!a or in Vancouver Lewiston
people have never interfered with theil
bids When contracts have been let fol
Lapwai, Portland and Walla Walla mer
have often interfered with their bids and
many times been defeated by Lewiston
men, because the country about Lewiston
is more prolific in the articles that have
to fill the contracts, aud they can be furn'
ished cheaper and with less cost to the
Government, and Walla Walla and Port
land spectators cannot make as much
out Of the Government, and there il no,
the same chance for rings to be formed
including officers, whereby the Govern
ment may be swindled, aud that is the
reason why Walla Walla and Port
land men with some officers have beer

As to Gen. Miles hanging any citizen Of
Lewiston Casual must understand tina,
Lewiston can pull on rope just as well a.
Gen. Miles can, when the protection u
its citizens against outlawry becomes nee

full how he libels the citizens of Lewis
