tiring efforts, and owing to the fact of
Mr.. Boyer's long incumbency. succeed

Campaign In Idaho.
BorsE CITY, Idaho, Sept lS.--The fol-
lowing dispatch was sent to Hon. Fred

ing, concerning the recent election there /:
Congressman elected by $500. Cover
nor and all state officers average 1900.
Legislature sure, forty -one out of forty
nine, and may get four more. This
state is strongly republican. The Aus
tralian ballot system, Mckinley bill,
harmonious home rule and liberal land
policy did the work. Beat US II you
can"
Assurances reach here that the North
IS all right. Maginnis. of Montana, the
democratic campaign orator, is making
speeches up North, and 1t Is understood
that Senator Vest Is to follow but they
can do no harm. The foundations of
republican success are SO broadly based
IN the eternal principles of things, and
In their unassailRble record in favor of
ldaho's interest that no amount nor pa
rade Of imported democratic rhetoric
ran shake the structure. 1t is understood
that the national republican party will
make desperate fight in the last two
weeks for the control of the state. This
fresh importation will heal all disaffec-
lions in the republican ranks, and unity
the party for heroic effort.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, N.-General
Master Workman Powderly left the city
to-day before a reporter could see him
regarding the confession of the three
New York Central train wreckers, i'm
plicating Master Workman Lee. In his
absence, Mr.. Wright, of the general exc
cutive board, said that until the confess
sions were published the board believed
the accused men innocent, but since
they had confessed that they took part
in the wrecking, the board would move
a thorough investigation and lend every
assistance to the authorities to bring the
guilty parties to justice. Wright could
not believe that Master Workman Lee
had any knowledge of the affair.

reference to the attempts at wrecking on
the Central road, Master Workman Lee

To reporter lie said that the association
was formed for mutual benefit. "Its
formation must not be taken" he said,
"as an indication that any trouble is
brewing. On tho contrary, the best oi
feeling exists between the employees and
the management of the Northwestern

agreement is that each branch of the Or

any trouble with the company"

POLITICS in IDAHO
An Enthusiastic Republican
Rally at Boise.
CLAGETT AND O'ROURKE THERE
Addresses by Both-Young Ladies'
on the Stand--Fireworks
and Bunting.

BoIsE CITY. Idaho, Sept. l0.-The re-
publican rally tonight is by far the
largest and most enthusiastic held here
so far during the campaign. Tho an
nouncement that Hon. William Ii.
CIagett, tho Henry Clay of Idaho, and
the eloquent Irishman, Phil o. 'Rourke,
would address our citizens, created
much interest among the people OF the
capital city.
Long before the time announced for
speaking to commence crowds thronged
the streets to witness the pyrotechnic
display announced to come oil.
The city band, elegantly uni
formed, parnded the streets, ac-
companied by torch bearers.
From various public building
sky rockets shot toward the sky, Ro-
man candles we're lot of and balloons
were sent up, amid wild cheering.
soon the large opera house was
packed with an eager and expectant
throng Every seat was filled. Fully
1000 were present. The wealth, the
beauty and talent of the capital turned
out to hear the eloquent speakers,
whose names stood for the enunciation
oil tho wise and broad principles of the
republican party. The stage was gay
with flags, bunting and flowers.
\ new feature OF the rally was the
presence on the stage of q large number
Of young ladies' whose beauty and grace
lent eclat to the occasion.
When the Hon. Phil ORourke
stepped in front of the platform and
looked over the magnificent audience
he was greeted with prolonged cheers.
His speech was iull of wit from start to
finish. His fund of Irish anecdote
seemed endless. His arrangement of the
democratic party for its record on lead
and silver was most mastery. The sill.
yer record oil the democratic party was a
farce. Their pretended advocacy of silver
was political travesty. On the Nor
mon question, he urged the people to
see to 1t that the laws were executed,
and the saints kept where they belonged.
He urged the republicans to do no trad
ing, but to vote straight ticket, allow
ing personal differences TO sink out of
sight, and show their gratitude to the
republican party for what it has done
for Idaho by making her solidly and
overwhelmingly republican.
After selection by the band the Hon,
William III. Clagett was introduced.
lie was greeted with prolonged applause.
Mr.. Clagett was in splendid trim. As
he advanced the audience responded
warmly, and listened attontively
throughout. A government like ours
depended on the virtue and intell igence
of the people. He would try to influence
many of his democratic friends whom
he saw present to vote the republican
ticket. The financial policy OF the

Those members of the Legisla-
tnre who propose to vote to refer
the lottery question back to the
people, on the ground that they
were not elected upon this issue,
are sadly at loss for a reason to
account for the influence of the
loayes and fishes with them. In
the face of the express terms of the
State Constitution, which every
member has sworn to support, and
the unequivocal plank in the party
platform for 1883, such. q position
is simply nonsensical. Those wish
ing to refresh their minds as to the
plank in the platform of 1883, are
referred to an article in another

Lusting After Lottery Loot.

In another column we publish
communication from Mr.. John P.
Hadnot, favoring an acceptance of
the lottery company's money. We
look upon such a proposition with
horror. 1t is as though million
aire were to offer to cover a virgins
shame and hide her dishenor by the
liberal bestowal of gold and silver.
How can the sons Of fair Louisiana
discuss with patience such propo-
sition? Mr.. Hadnot's arguments
and labored reasoning are worthy of
better cause. Surely he cannot
hold that we should bow down and
worship this golden calf that ''thrift
may follow fawning." His argu-
ments are specious and will not
bear discussion, for the reason that
he argues from false and untenable
premises. If he is true Demo-
crat, and favors the party's fulfill
ment of its promises as announced
in its platform of principles, that
alone should decide him. But
when he deliberately contends that
there is no harm in gambling and
robbing as performed by the lot
terry company, he is at variance
with common decency, tosay moth
ing of the higher morals and code
of ethics recognized and enforced
in every State of the Union except
Louisiana.
The poor mouth he puts mp for
the State is but rehash and re-
cital of an untrue condition of af-
fairs, prepared by retained advo-
Gates and extensively published by
newspapers employed in the inter-
est of the lottery company. The
facts he states as true are not war
ranted by the reports of our sworn
State officials. On the contrary,
Louisiana has reason to boast of her
growing independence and pros
Eerity. This has been so amply
discussed and proven that we for
bear to repeat We cannot believe
the people of Louisiana are going
to allow themselves to be trifed
with by the lottery and its hench-
men; nor do we believe that any
considerable number of our citizens
are going to be carried away by
any such short-sighted policy as
that suggested by our correspond
ent- State pride, morality, rec
ligious sentiment, common honesty,
political principle, intelligence,
self-respect and love Of posterity,
all forbid the consummation of this
monstrous debauching and prosti-
tuition of a great commonwealth.
