COMPARE THEM.

The BELLEVUE (Idaho) Herald is not
elegant in the following, but it is robust
and earnest and honest. 1t might
have said much more to the disparage-
ment of the "dude statesman" Du-
bois, who came to Idaho tenderfoot
and carpet-bagger, and remains there
carpet-bagger and tenderfoot. 1t
might also have said that Mr.. Hawley
went to Idaho when the men OF to-day
were boys; that he has since known no
other home than his loved Gem of the
Mountains" that the progress and
development of the beautiful Territory
have not merely been watched by him,
but his hands and his brain have done
their full share of all that has been
achieved in our northern neighbor.
Our Bellevue namesake could have
gone on in the truth, and said that Del
egate or no Delegate, Office or no Of
fee, Mr.. Hawley will be found in Idaho,
earning his own living and doing his
utmost for the good of the grand Ter
ritory; while on the other hand. the
day that Mr.. Dubois ceases to hold
a public Office and can no longer be
supported at the public expense, he will
gently pack his grlpsack and mourn
fully return to his eastern home. But
read the HeraId'S comparison of the
two men who are seeking the suffrages
of Idaho citizens:
When Delegate Dubois was suffering out
his learned speech last evening to Belle
vue audience how often did it occur to the
old-time Republicans present that they were
suping to the bolstered cry OF a man only
held to prominence and greatness by in
tiuential friends of the subjects father in
the east.
Does any Republican or Democrat suppose
that Fred 7 Dubois is in his present honor
able position through his personal intelli-
gence, ability, or, excuse Us, his own purse?
Compare Dubois and Hawley on their own
personal ability. Dubois. raised in the
eastern high schools, and college graduate
TOO, standing before an audience and NUT.
tering a short speech learned days, and
probably weeks, before. unable to place an
original or extemporaneous idea torcibly to
his hearers.
We lust ask the Republicans to compare
such man for the high and honored posi-
ton of Delegate to Congress, with such a
man as James n. HaWley.
Mr.. Hawley has eloquence and learning
of western life that would favorably i'm
press any body of eastern lawmakers, such
as are sent to represent the various States
and Territories.
But can friend of Dubois vouch for an
impromptu and forcibIe debate from our
present Delegate on any question that di-
rectly affects this great Idaho Territory.
If any friend should answer in the affirm
alive, it would be corroboratIve to cite an
instance. Dubois, himself being on the
river, might assist his friends in this query
Possibly he may have said line or SO on
the ragged subject of polygamy, but even
this is doubtful.
United States Attorney Hawley is a forci-
BILE, prominent and practical attor neY,
and were he not, would soon fail in q posi-
ton as Attorney for Idaho in the courts.
There Is no telling theme against Hawley's
record But the papers are digging up their
praise of two years ago. and using it as
against him now. Two years ago Jim Haw-
ley was held up by Idaho Republican news
papers as a man who was forcible against
polygmist and the church.
But Hawley, new these same papers hold,
is man swimming in corrupt practices
with the polygamous Mormons!
Oh consistent Republicanism of Idaho.
