The meeting of representative Republicans
yesterday to inaugurate the movement for the
formation of Republican clubs throughout
the State, came near being young State con-
vention. The attendance was unexpectedly
large, and the enthusiasm and determination
of the party equal to the occasion,
and to any proper demand that may be
properly made upon it to secure to
the fullest the results Of the late
Republican triumph and to put the
party into such trim as to make it a
sure and certain Republican State. not only in
1888, but for the future. The Lincoln League
"a well-chosen, appropriate and inspiring
namc--was organized as the central directory
for the State organization, and arrangements
made for the immediate organization of auxil-
larry and affiliated Republican clubs through
out the State. This organization should meet
with prompt response from the Republicans
in every section of the State Properly
worked, the influence for good cannot
be over-estimated. A sort of Re-
publican lyceum in every locality,
where Republican principles and policy are
discussed, and Republican club whose duty
it will be to see that Republican literature is
distributed. beginning with the local party
newspaper, which demands, and should always
receive first consideration, and where neigh
DOR whine neighbor in the legitimate work
of party organization, will as certainly make
and keep Indiana Republican as that the sun
shine and shower will bring forth harvest.
We commend the proposed club organization
to Republicans everywhere.

Mr.. "ARTHUR RICHMOND addresses one
of his celebrated letters to President Cleve-
land, through the medium of the North Amer
lean Review and takes the liberty to contrast
that functionary very unfavorably with great
Presidents who have gone before him. The
present condition of the Democracy is de-
scribed as follows:
ga united and exultant party transformed
into demoralized mob; an opposition conf
IDENTIFY expectant of further folly; country
curously apprehensive. of evil-these are the
net results of the first two years Of your adj
ministration. With the Solid South show
ing signs Of fracture; the Republican host re-
formed, and confident in their front; the Labor
vote entrenching on their flank, and with you
upon their backs, the Democratic party may
well ask, with lugubrious forebodings, What
shall the harvest be? You have not only
missed your opportunity and forfeited your
title to fame as leader or statesman, but it is
even doubtful if there be left to you an avail
able equity of redemption.
When the President reads this it will be a
very fortunate thing for Mr.. Arthur Rich
mond that he is not federal officer: for in
stance, district attorney.

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas once re-
marked in moment of sporadic confidence,
that "your natural orators are seldom great
men" AS the remark was unaccompanied by
foot-notes, it was not fully apparent whether
it was intended to refer to Senator Voorhees,
or to himself. The public regards them both
as natural orators, in the sense and to the
extent of being able to mass words together
in a seemingly impressive way, and to mar
shall phrases in such fashion that they ma Ike
a formidable appearance whether there are
any ideas behind them or not. But the ques-
ton of orator aside, it is, we think, demon
strable that Postmaster general Villas has at
least one element Of great man. He knows a
good thing when he sees it. The full text of
his annual report, sufficiently comprehen-
size abstract of which was printed in the
Journal q few days. ago, shows that it opens
with an eloquent eulogy of the extent and
perfection of the United States mail service,
and closes with an unusually ELUSIVE tribute
to the intelligence, the faithfulness, the zeal
and the success with which the officers and
clerks in the Postoffice Department have dis
charged their duties. Both the eulogy and
the tribute are plainly and directly, though
doubtless unintentionally, very strong praise
Of the Republican party Tho greatness
and efficiency of the United States mail serv-
ice are, in so far as they have survived
the political vandalism of the present
administration, solely and entirely due

Senator Dolph has been before the
Board of Trade of Portland, and
given his views of a railway around
the portage at The Dalles instead of
a canal, and thinks it feasible, and
on account of the shortness of time
required to construct it, and the com
paratively small cost of its construc-
ton, as compared with canal and locks,
seems to intimate that one or two APP
preparations can be obtained from
congress sufficient for the purpose,
and that two years time will be all
that is necessary to complete the
structure SO that steamboats, and 9TH
er water craft can be transported
from the navigable waters below The
Dalles to the navigable waters above,

locks completed at the Cascades, con-

work is commenced, il it be pushed

struction, and increase in saving in

ANNEXATION.

IDAHO REPORTER: 1t Will probably
be remembered By many % our read
ers that Senator nolPh expressed the
opinion several woeths ego shat the
senate Of the Upited States would
pass the bill admitting Washington
territory with the panhandle Of Idaho
annexed. Elk and Expectant Sena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada, has expressed
the same opinion, and like hungry
vulture comes to this territory before
the death to take view OF the re-
mains with the design Of swallowing
them up as soon as the hour OF disco
luton shall have come. With the
idea of sugar coating his nauseating
pill he attacks the Boise people in a
tender spot. They have sighed long
for railroad and he promises in ex-
change for the capital honors they
enjoy, vcritable road running on
wheels straight from Winnemucca to
Boise City.
We have no patience with such a
proposition. The man who makes it,
or he who would give it moments
thought except to take breath for
fierce opposition, are alike despicable
to our mind. There seems to be a
disposition to tear Idaho to pieces by
enemies from without and within and
now is the time for the people to rouse
themselves and not allow this fair
province to be dlsmembered in any
form.
We have looked too long passively
upon the project to cut off the four
northern counties. This effort of Stew
arts should rouse every friend of the
territory to instant action. From
every town and hamlet of the south
cru counties circumstances should be
sent on at once to the senate of the
United States against the proposed
spoliation. There is not moment
to be lost. Every hour is pregnant
with danger. The first step to be
taken is to save our northern territory;
that saved, there is no danger of an
nexation to the rotten borough south
of us.
