This stronghold of Republicanism,
with its concomitant thoughts, has
been penetrated by at least modicum
of light from the rays of the political
sun which shone SO brightly du Ing
The memorable campaign just closed.
The assertion made by your cores
pondent, that many republicans here
were thoroughly convinced of the ne
cessity of a judicious tariff reduction
their belief that the demOcrrtic party
was right and their own party wrong,
in their respective attitudes toward the
great economic question. and their
consequent espousal of and identity
with the only party representing their
principles, was abundantIy verified
last Tuesday.
Despite the efforts to detract the at.
tention of our people from the real
issue before them by the false and
demagogic cry of free trade" the
Iackadaisical demeanor Of high pro-
tectionists over the danger of demo.
cratic supremacy the specious reason

of their party orators, and their at
tempts to create popular prejudice

administration their shameful con-
duct in parading q ridiculous effigy OF
our chief magistrate through the street;
despite the most vigorous and deter
mined campaign ever made by the re
publicans of this vicinity; despite all
this, there was a very gratifying in.
crease of democratic votes, many OF
them coming from newly made con.
verts. They were not )" renegadss u

| Although the democracy has appsr
emily been defeated In this great battle
for the people the Issue Of tariff reform
has assumed such definite shape and
been SO courageously championed by
it's patriotic leaders, that its ultimate
triumph through the aggressive dem
ocracy is az sure "a the continuance oi
the Republic. Not more accurately
defined is the line separating one angle
from another, than the one dividing
the two great parties ON this question.
Party lines are difficult to break, but

Foucle, of Yandalia, for many years
Judge of the Fayette county court,
He has been quite prominent in the
politics of Egypt and is backed by
Congressman Lane and various other
Illinois Democrats in Washington,
Judge Foucke has been here for sew,
eral days, and the impression pre-,
walls that he has scored q point or two
with the President. He claims the
endorsement of the Illinois Supreme
Court and also counts upon the sup
port of Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, SC

from California are also entered fol

In the stormy days of 1860 when
such fireeaters of the South as Roger
A. Pryor of Virginia, VIM. L. Yancy,
of Alabama and Preston S. Brooks
of South Carolina were preaching
secession in the National Congress
and in their state legislative halls
Gen'l Henry A. Wise. then Governor
of Virginia. maintained that it was
wrong in principle; that the South
should redress its wrongs, whatever
they might be, by proper steps in the
Union, and if any southern state was
injured or denied its rights that state
should have the injury repaired by
fighting for it, If fight it must, in the
Union and under the Union flag. AT
the opening of the political campaign
in Idaho, THE NEWS desires to say to
all Democrats, who are Democrats in
verify, that there should be no seces
sion nor falling out of party ranks be
cause Of local issues raised by another
party for disafected purposes. If YOU
cannot endorse them and support them
fight them from behind your owr
party flag. 1t is more than probable
some questions will be sprung thai
the democratic party will look upor
as antagonistic to the best interests Of
Idaho, but Democrats should not b,
hoodwinked and led into another
party to oppose them. Stand together
and let the battle be fought from you
own vantage grounds and the victor,
will be certain.

THE following letter explains itself.
Mr.. Hood is state Senator of Penn

INDIANA, Pa, Jan. 16, 1883.
Edgar Wilson. Esq, Boise City Idaho:
My DEAR Sir: / have just return
ed from Washington, where | saw
both senators Cameron and Quay, also
quite number of our representatives
in congress, and to all of them | ex-
plain fully the desire of the people of
Idaho with reference to the proposed
destruction of your territory and they
all promise me that if the matter
comes up in the shape of bill that
they would let me know and that they
will oppose it with all their might
Senator Cameron said he did not
know that a bill of this kind had
passed the last congress and especially
it could not be championed by Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, because he was
not there. You can say to all
your people that you can at least
count on two United States senators
to oppose the measure.
! remain very truly yours,
GEORGE W. Hoop.

THERE need be no surprise that MIR.
Lamar received the necessary vote
for the Supreme Court bench. 1t was
plain that the detection of Republican
Senators was sufficient to overturn the
slight majority opposed to him should
all the Republicans have acted as a
unit. 1t grows more and more plain
that the bitterness of the war OF
secession is fading, and that acts OF
words of those on the Southern side
done or spoken then or subsequently
cannot be used successfully against
them if they have the right kind Of
backing, and this MIR. Lamar seems tc
have had.

of the next National Republican Con-

the first convention to elect delegates

police turned them all out and took
possession of the hall. Afterwards one
faction returned organized and cleo
ted delegates, adjoured and dispersed
and then the other faction met and
did likewise. Two sets of delegates
from the first convention held will

THE full returns up to the close of
December reveal the fact that the
gross earnings of ITO railroads reach
ed an aggregate in the year 1887 of
over $44,000,000 in excess of those
of 1886. The roads referred to COM
prise all the important lines in the
country. Every one of these roads
except seven shows larger earnings
last year than the one before, and the
falling off on these were but trihing.
This record is all the more encourag-
ing from the fact that the grain yield
in 1887 was below the average of the
past five years, taking wheat and corn
together Had the product of these
cereals in 81 equaled that of "a and
S5, transportation facilities would
have been taxed more severely in the
year just ended than they have ever
been thus far, although the active
movement of corn does not usually
set in until about the beginning of
December. The reason for the expan-
sion of railroad earnings was the ac-
tivity in general trade throughout the
country. The prospects that this ac-
tiyity will continue during the most,
if not all, of 1888 seems very favora-
BILE at this time.-Ex.
