The VYEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1892.

land ticket had swept the nation lik
an avalanche, and that for the mex
four years, at least, democratic idea
will rule and tariff reform and ney
financial policies will be the order o
the times. The unanimous confidenc'
of the nation in the democratic party
places on that party responsibility
beyond that which any party has evel
been called on to face since the
founding Of our government. Anc
we believe that in Grover Cleveland
we have man created for the
occasion, and who has the honesty
and ability to meet these questions
SUCCESSFULLY and for the best interests
of the whole people, backed as he
will be by democratic senate and
congress. So in national affairs we
ought to rest easy, feeling that
burdens will be removed instead of
added and that special privileges will
be diminished for the few and the
welfare of the many closely guarded
In our Idaho state politics the
republican party is victorious except
for presidential electors, which cuts
no figure. AS to the result in
Washington county, Henry f. John
son, the stalwart from the pine tree
section of the state, is victorious, and
gazes with stern satisfaction on the
fallen and defeated form of the
hither to invincible Tom Galloway
$50 pass our heroes from the fight. Z"
John d. Benson and William
Allison will be the eloquent and I'M
terrified champions of Washington
county in the assembly, leaving
kurtz, Irwin, Smith and Fletcher to
cogitate on the uncertainty and
injustice of humanity in politics
"dreams of glory, faded and gone. :"
In regard to county commissioners
we can at least claim to have made a
great HIrr, and backed by Mickey
and Leighton, the prospect of a
liberal road policy seems certain and
sectional prejudice side tracked for
term at least. For Sheriff the fight
was fierce and long but the desperate
persistence of the unterrified
democracy finally landed VIM. II.
Eckles safely and Pone Wood and
John Killoran, both good men, will
have to obey his summons to duty at
the County seat They both feel
trife uncertain as to the certainty of
human affairs and realize that all
three couldn't get it. Now we come
to the pivotal point in the contest
and it shows more Of mastery
management than any other. David j.
Richardson, known Familiarity in every
school house in the county, was
matched against the two most
formidable financial opponents the
county could produce, but with a
simple confidence and well-founded |
faith in the peoples party, he held up
his hand and played a solo. In look.
ing over this cventful contest one is
reminded of the David of bible times,
when the hosts of the Philistines
confronted the army of Saul, king of
Israel, and the gigantic Goliath
came forth and called for an adversary.
None dare confront him until youth
from the mountains of Judea, David
by name, went forth to meet him, IN
one hand a sling and in his pouch
some smooth stones. With these he
overcame the giant and redeemed
Israel Our David is greater, for
with nothing in his hand better than
three Jacks, and with no stones in
his pouch, he has met and overcome
the houses of Benjamin and Barton
and will finally redeem Washington
county warrants. County Judge {
James B. Coakley will see in the
future that the widows and orphans
don't get any more than their share
IF the defunct Washingtonians /
sstates(N. Assessor Frank Hubbard l
will give the same kind attention TO i
he new county of Canyon that he
bestowed on the county of
Ada. So ring down the curtain, 4,
Dut out the lights, and with the j.,
Election over, let us all turn to every
lay affairs and do what we can to
Idvance our line, and help the newly
elected in the performance of their
iuty.
