NORTH IDAHO ITEMS.

NORTH IDAHO ITEMS
DEMOCRAT: John HALEY is now
canvassing North Idaho. He has adj
dressed the citizens Of Lewiston and
the principal towns OF Idaho county,
and am happy to say his support il /
North Idaho will be far stronger than
| expected, as he will get every DEM
ocrat and about half the entire Rel
publican vote in North Idaho. III
visited many OF the prominent places
with Mr. Haley, and his expressions
to the public have been satisfactory
to our people, and they freely give
him their support many old-timersl
greet Mr.. Haley who met him over
rs years ago III this country, and the
universal expression here, irrespective
of politics, is, we prefer Mr.. HALEY,
the old pioneer, who has toiled with
Us for the last twenty years, rather
than accept the false promises OF any
carpet-bagger, who has no interest in
common with us. Mr.. HALEY has an
swered all questions put to him by
our people, and in satisfactory man
ner. He evades no issues, but comes
out squarely and without reserve.
He does not lead man around the
corner and whisper in his ear that he
wants him to vote for him, but puts
on bold front and tells them in few
words his business; and ] can saw,
without any political buncombe, that
Mr. HALEY will leave the work with
handsome majority, and his election
is dead certainty. He will have at
least 1900 votes to spare and | think
more. Mr.. Haley, in company with
sheriff Baird, left for Lewiston to-day,
and Judging fro the cordial recep-
ton which he received, the Singiser
men are like angels visits, few and
far between. Hoping the South may
do as well by Mr.. Haley on election
day as North Idaho, and especially
Idaho county, | am as ever,
Your friend, b. f. MORRIS.

assumed the appearance of something
unusual having happened, and in a
short space of time bonhres lighted
the streets, cannonading was com
menced and the Lewiston brass band
, was discoursing patriotic music in
honor of one of Idaho's oldest and
most honored citizens. 1t was not
long ere Mr. Haley was called on 70
a speech by the excited multitude, to
which call he declined to respond out

in front of the Raymond House, who

and tiger for old John HALEY, after
