for the past two years than at any Pc
Rod since the close Of the war. The era
Of good feeling has been indefinitely
postponed. A wonderful amount Of bit.
terness was worked up by the Republic
cans in the campaign Of ISIS. The
worst Of it all was that il was all down.
right misrepresentation and lying. The
stumpers and papers of that party lied
from the very inception Of the canvass.
They lied vigorously and persissently all
the way through. The canvass itself
was q lie and they won the ight on a lie.
Ordinarily q liar Of average intelligence
should be tolerant. A man with ability
enough to know that he is lying ought
not to get angry about il. The great
notwithstanding herd may be excused.
Bot how the leaders manage to work
themselves into q furry, which still
abides with them, is surprising strange.
II is nevertheless 30. Republican senti-
ment Of Democrats is everywhere ex.
pressed in disparaging, not to say insult
| ing. terms. We have read in Republi.
! can papers in the last year more insults
to Democrats than found expression in
the same journals in all the twenty years
before. They hire trained professional
liars at Washington to misrspresent the
Democratic position on every public
question and charged with the duty Of
writing Republican pigmies into promi-
nence before the country. There is a
world Of this kind Of fraud constantly
being perpetrated which the great mass
Of the people do not understand or stop
to consider. 1t is poked under our
noses right here in Nevada to q nauseat-
ing degree. The smaller the individual
the louder and longer he toots his horn.
The press dispatches from Washington
and other political centers are largely
made up of this Mandatory rot. We note
lately that the special correspondent OF
the Salt Lake Tribune is engaged in the
herculean task Of making q great man
out Of little Fred Dubois Of Idaho. The
scheme is to make q Senator out Of little
Fred in the new State. He is about the
lightest weight that has ever been sent
from the West to Congress. He has
some ability as Q clerk. He would fill a
twelve hundred-dollar per year depend.
emit clerkship fairly well. That is high
enough for him. But he happened to be
in Washington when his party, for par
tisan purposes, determined to admit
Idaho to the sisterhood Of States. That
is basis enough, and boom, boom thun-
der the Republican organs all along the
line for little Fred for Senator. Accord.
ing to the Republican press this simple
Delegate from Idaho, without q vote
himself, has passed all the laws of the
past two or three years. 1t is the de.
sign to shove Dubois through and with
him the whole Republican ticket in
Idaho. Dubois seems to be regarded as
their best card and they are playing him
for all, and more, than he is worth.
In the meantime Democratic hostility
to Idaho's admission is made q leading
issue. There is absolutely nothing in
this. The Democrats are as friendly to
Idaho as the Republicans are. The
Democrats in Congress had two reasons
for voting against the admission Of
Idaho. In the first place they sought
to test the validity Of the new quorum
rule of the House, on an important
measure, and in the second, they
wanted New Mexico and Arizona taken
into the Union along with Idaho and
Wyoming. This was all there was Of
their opposition. 1t was not opposition
to Idaho but opposition to Republican
deceit and inconsistency that caused
them to take the stand they did. Every
Democrat in both Houses Of Congress
would have voted for Idaho's admission
had the Republican majority showed
equal consideration for the other Terri
tories. The Republicans were guided
wholly by selfish motives and deserve no
credit for what they did for Idaho. The
Republican bosses and managers were
striving to help their ~decaying old party
and not the people of Idaho.
