to ensue during the impending contest.
The first election under what is called |
statehood" is likely to determine the |
political future of Idaho for long time. 1t
was a rotten borough as territory, as the
world knows, and what will it be as
state? The Democrats have the fullest |
hope of carrying it. Just so with the Re
publicans. Ii the latter are successful they |
will hold the stall for long time, for
neither religion or morals, so far as heard
from, have prevented them from making
false returns Or

where the least opportunity occurred.
Were it the Democrats who had performed
the iniQuities of Eagle Rock, Camas, Muddy
Creek, ETC., the monopolistic press would
have rung the changes upon it from Maine
to California. But no; it was the anti
Mormon party, which has always been con-
nected within the lines of affinity with the
Republicans. There are men, however,
who were within the compass of that or
ganization whom the party propose to
recognize. S. E. Taylor, of Bingham, will
probably be nominated for governor. No
Democrat in the north will have or &C
cept the position. In case of success, the
parties will have several candidates for
United States senator. The silver tongued
Clagett, of Shoshone, would not throw the
senatorship over his shoulder; the railroad
attorney Hepburn would not allow it to
pass by; the money loaner, Mcconnell, of
Lotak with hundred thousand dollars to
put into the contest, will maintain that
North Idaho, with about half the population
of the state should be represented in the
United States Senate. The men of North
Idaho know their rights and their power.
They have
THE MAJOR PART OF THE BRAINS
in the organizations, know their rights and
how to defend them, and smile at the at
tempted dictation of poor fellows in South
Idaho. All of the real talent of that party
| is in the north of the state, and after due
consideration this is allowed to pass with
out an exception. The south has good men
like Governor Shoup, but not one at all bril-
liant like Clagett or Hezburn. Most of the
leading lawyers of the south were miners in
Boise Basin in 1868, "bave grown up with
the country and 'fit the Ingins,' and their
| knowledge is valuable so far as concerns
early history, otherwise it is passable.
They have not been ''bad men from TeXasn
for many years.
The Democratic party is at a loss for tim
Der in South Idaho. George Ainslie is the
most prominent man for United States
Senator in case of Democratic success. He
is of Scottish parentage and recently re-
ceived S63, 900 by way of Inheritance from
the death of an uncle in the lowlands. He had
few thousand accumulated before The
gentleman has purchased and lives on the
most imposing residence in the city, oppo-
site the assay office. He is surrounded by
family of the most beautiful and accom-
pllshed ladies in the city. George says he
will not take the Senatorship, but if mem

crowd honors upon him with view of their
non-acceptance. 10
