was the result. He also alluded to the
stand taken by the Republicans during the
present session of Congress in opposition
to free coinage, with the exception of GER
tain western members. while the Demo-
Gratis stood solid for the measure He said
that Blaine and Sherman had been
working for reciprocity between the

luton aiming in that direction had
been introduced into the Senate during the
recent session which the Republicans sup
ported to a man and the Democrats op-
posed.
The people of this city have heard MIR.
Reed before and when it was announced
that he would speak, an elegant, fiowery
address was expected instead of which
they were treated to cold logic, statistics
and incontestable facts. Only once did he
scatter southern roses over the auditorium
and that was at the close of his address.
He spoke ouly on the living issues of the
hour as he had announced at the commence
ment of his address.
THE REPUBLICANS
held meeting at the opera house last night.
The success of the Democrats upon the
two preceding evenings had nerved them
to extraordinary efforts to fill the audi
forum of the opera house. And it
was filed, but not of the same composition
as the two nights previous. The women
and children largely predominated. The
voters may almost be said to have been q
sprinkling. Major Huston announced that
Governor Shoup would preside. The gov
ernor made short speech and introduced
Willis Sweet, the Republican candidate for
Congress. Such part OF the tariff as
could by any implication be made to apply

cussed. The balance was ignored. He
claimed that the rise in the price of bar
silver to $l.15 was the result of the pas
sage of the recent silver bill rather than
the resolution of Senator Voorhees, to force
an immediate purchase of 10, 100000 ounces.
He thought the presentbill was the best one
obtainable, in which matter all Democrats
will agree with him in view of the fact
that the Republicans would not support
free coinage, and President Harrison init
mated his intention to veto such a bill.
One peculiar and suspicious point in
Judge Sweets speech, and its subse
quent publication in the Statesman this
morning is that while he INDUCED in
TRADE AGAINST THE MoRMoNs,
telling how bitterly he hated them: that il
he sought their votes he could not go home
and take his child in his arms; that he
wanted no certificate the result OF thell
votes and other language of the same cha
racter, not one syllable of this can be
found in the columns of the paper alluded
to in the printed report.
Shoshone, Bingham and Ada counties
will probably be Democratic. The latter i:
the most doubtful, but if not all, the Dem
Gratis will elect part of their Legislative
ticket to certainty, Never in the history
of elections in Idaho has such work beer
performed. The Republicans have not be
lieved the Democrats capable of such al
effort.
The campaign and its incidents is en-
crossing the attention of the people OF thi.
section of Idaho to the exclusion of every
thing else. A Democratic mass meeting
will be held at Caldwell this evening, to bI
addressed by ex-Chief Justice Weir ant
Hon. J. w. Reid. The latter spoke at Sill
yer City last evening. BUz.
