dwarf and fade away and the party
will be solidified from the Great Lakes
to the Ohio river The issue Is su-
preme for or against democracy, They
must fight and win or lose in their
advanced position; from it there can
be no retreat, the bridges are burned
behind them. They have placed Ohio
in the leadership Of the great West in
the movements that won such glorious
results for the party last November.
They have boldly demanded for the
people all that the people demand for
themselves. In their platform they
demand taxation only for revenue and
not for protection; they demand free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver and for currency regula-
ted by supply and demand: they de-
mand gradual income tax that will
force the great money kings to bear
their share of taxation for the support
of the general government and they
demand an honest and economic adj.
ministration of the affairs of the gov
eminent, and further they declare
againt the ruinous extravaganza OF
the party in power as shown by the
billion congress of last winter. Ohio,
in this race, has been made to stand
in favor of the interests of the great
West as against the northeast and the
influence of the great West must be
given her. 1t is Campbell for the in.

One Of Two Things.

IL all reports about the McCune
School Association with headquarters
at Boise be true. or even half be true,
and if State Auditor Moody and State
Superintendent of schools Harroun be
connected with the same as is alleged
in the reports then these state official
ought to step down and out of Office
for the good of the state, not only for
the good name of the state at home
but for its good name abroad. If they
are not connected with the association
and have never been then for their
own good name they should deny
the charges and in terms plain
enough to satisfy the public. The
matter has gone far enough. THE News
has been unwilling to give publicity
to the reports, it has always been I'M
willing to give publicity to such re-
ports, but this matter has become the
talk of the state, it has crossed the
boundary lines of the state, and it is
due the state that these officials make
disclaimer of all connection with
the association if they can rruthfully
and honestly, or cease to represent it
as state officials. One or the other of
these things must be done.
SIyCE the above was written and in
type as well as what we say elsewhere
in to-days News about the matter, Hon,
Silas W. Moody, State Auditor has
published a card in the Boise States
man admitting his connection with
the Squires' educational bureau and
claims, so far as he could learn there
was nothing to it to which exception
could reasonably be taken. Mr.. Moody
states that he has never received one
dollar from the enterprise and adds
that he and Supt. Harroun can
give detailed information of the facts
in the case. We are glad Mr.. Moody
makes this statement but it is to be
regretted that he and Mr.. Harroun
were silent so long in matter involv-
ing their good name as state officials.

1t Must Pay Well.

BUILDING stone quarried for a ready
market by convict labor at 80 cents
per day for each laborer, the state
paying board for such laborers, must
be as profitable as advertising for
school teachers in the east at salaries
ranging from SIS to 1925 per month.
1t is rumored and the rumor has
Hoated this far from the state capital
that number of convicts of our state
penitentiary is thus being worked in
a quarry either on the penitentiary
reservation or land now in contest
THE News is profoundly ignorant of
any law that may have been passed
by the last Legislature touching con-
Wet labor, and is therefore subject
of ''lafture" for those in position to
know, but it does know that the con-
stitution says: All labor of convicts
confined in the state prison shall be
done within the prison grounds, except
where the work is done on public
works under the direct control Of the
state. Is the honest laborer of to-day
to be brought in competition with the
convict laborer of the state? Is the
constitution to be violated and con-
victs be marched in and out under
guards on outside works? Is rumor
Alright IN her statements? Let the
State Prison Commissioners speak;
we call upon them to deny these ru.
mors. They come from under the very
shadow of the state capital and the
people ought to know whether they be
true or not.

THE News is frank to express its
belief that the democrats of Ohio are
the boldest men of their party to-day,
and in Governor Campbell they have
leader whose courage and daring
have never been surpassed, save by
courage and daring of old Andrew
jackson. In their convention last week
they took the most advanced grounds

long tlme. II they win they prepare
the way for the greatest democratic
victory in 1892 known in the past fifty
years. If they lose, the curtain drops
and shuts them out from the light Of
another victory for long years to come
There were some divisions in their
state convention but there can be
none in the campaign. Every demo
