will be held in this city. The peoples
party shouters claim they will without
doubt elect their governor and secure a
controlling interest in the legislature.
Other parties are allowing them TO peace
fully slumber on in this fond delusion, but

,rudely when tho returns begin TO roll In on
and after the s;h day of November.
Hon. j. NJ. Burke, the democratic candi-
date for governor. arrived in this city a
few days ago from a visit TO Kootcnai,
Neg Perce and Latah counties. Mr.. Burke
denies that he is n member Of the mine
owners association of the Occur d Alencs.
He says he never subscribed a dollar in
any way to the association. He says that
he told the miners of the Coeur d'Alcnes
that II he was elected governor they might
expect equal and exact Justice under the
law. and when laws were broken rich and
| poor alike would be prosecuted and not
| prosecuted. As to labor organizations.
Burke says that labor has as much right
| to organize for it's protection as cap
| ital. He says he is in favor of free
| coinage. not only because Idaho is
/ large silver producer, but because
| the country demands a larger circulatin ing
medium than we have at present. MIR.
Burke had been under the impression that
the western men were the principle advo-
Gates of free coinage, but during a recent
trip East he had an opportunitc of seeing
representative men from all parts of the
union who were i'm favor of free coinage.
Mr.. Burke thinks that while neither ore
of the national platforms demand FREQ
coinage clearly, the day is not far off
when both houses of congress will be conn
PEELED to pass free coinage bill. Mr.,
Burke is persuaded that the only way
to attain this end is through one of the
great national parties, and he thinks. of
| course, that relief will come more quick
through the democratic party. He says
that he is in favor of a tariff ON lead
bullion, but is not i'm favor of the tariff of
~ cents pound on lead ores. Mr.. Burke
says that the democratic party stands well
in the state, is better organized than ever
before. and he hopes il will prove success.
