HD SAYS THAT THE NOMINATION or CLEVELAND
SETTLED THAT, AND GIVES SOME OF THE
REASONS WHY THE Ex-PnEsIDKST ID uNroPu-
LAR IN THAT SECTION.
Senator Kyle Of South Dakota said in yester-
days STAR that the peoples party could and
would carry Idaho in the presidential election.
Senator Dubois Of Idaho says it cannot and will
not. Senator Kyle is a peoples party man.
Senator Dubois IL a republican.
1.-THE third party" said Senator Dubois to q
STAR reporter this afternoon, cannot carry
Idaho and l think their inability extends to
Colorado, Nevada, the new states and the
Pacific coast. 1t is true that there was 9 strong
tendency toward third party before the Chi
cago convention nominated Cleveland, but it
vanished when that ballot was taken. Our
people know perfectly well that il the third
party carries any Of the republican states It
would throw the election Of the President into
the House Of Representatives They know per-
fectly well that the present House Of Repre-
sentatives and not the one to be elected this
fall will decide who shall be President If it is
left to the decision of Congress. They know
that the democrats control two-thirds Of the
states in Congress and that Cleveland would be
elected.
WON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES ON CLEVELAND.
people who live in the section indicated
will not take any chances on the election of
Cleveland No one ever injured the west more
than he did. During his administration our
and every citizen out there knows it through
bitter experience. The country was growing
with wonderful rapidity, and its needs increased
daily, but the mail service was kept in a Grip
Piled condition until Mr.. Harrison came into
power; today the service IL being pushed to a

SPARKS MADE HIMSELF oDIoUs.
'"There are many other reasons why we should
remember Cleveland His commissioner of the
general land Sparks-rendered himself
odious. He asserted that all the settlers on
public lands we're thieves; he also undertook to
make them prove the contrary. He had bis
special agents scattered throughout that region
spying Upon settlers and arresting them for
every technical violation of the law which small
minds could oonjure up. He refused to issue
patents to lands and in hundreds Of ways har-
assed the poor and bona fide settlers, making
even their lives burdensome. He was evidently
carryingort the policy of his chief and I am
sure that our people will have no more of such
an administration.
TRIED TO PUT LEAD ON THE FREE LIST.
'"The democratic party under Cleveland at
tempted to put lead on the free list; the present
House has continued that policy and has en-
deavored to carry it out by specific legislation.
There is no question in which the people of
Idaho and Colorado are more deeply interested
than this.
another matter will weigh heavily. Notwith-
standing the fact that Cleveland was elected on
platform which pledged him 10 appoint Off
cers for the various territories from among the
residents of the respective territories he utterly
ignored the pledges of his party and sent for
eign Office hoiders-politicians who had been
disappointed at hcme-to govern the terrific
rfes. The new states we're all in territorial
condition under him and they have no. forgot
ten his breach Of faith.
HARRISON HAS GIVEN THEM HOME RULE.
president Harrison, on the contrary. has
lived up to the spirit and letter of this plank in
his party pintform; he gave all the territories
unauthorized home rule This may be a
sentimental matter, but it is powerful with the
voter. The other reasons are material and re-
cent. In my judgment they render it impossi-
BILE for either democrats or third party men TO
take any of the states have referred to out Of
the republican column.
President Harrison has disappointed some
OF the Senators and Representatives from that
section and has made some appointments which,
in my Judgment, he should not have made His
whole policy, however, has been such az to
command the respect and support of our peo-
pie. They belive that their best interests have
been more carefully looked after under his adj
ministration than under that Of any President
for many years"
