The republicans of Ada county
in convention assembled, hereby
pledge anew their fealty to the
broad and liberal principles of the
republican party. They point with
pride to the brilliant record in the
past; to it's mighty achievements;
to its grasp and mastery OF the
economic principles of protection to
American industries that has built
up within the borders Of Columbia
an empire Of commerce and of
skilled laborers in every depart
ment second to none in the world;
to its advanced positions on all
public questions that make it the
herald and the champion Of the
broaGest thought of the age; to the
grand work it has accomplished
for the west in the survey of her
public lands and by protecting her
lead industry in the opening up
and development of her mines; and
to- the pure and able administra-
ton of President Harrison, the
standard bearer of the republican
party, the brave soldier, the able
statesman, whose public and pri.
vate life is without spot, and whose
record fully entitled him to the
continued confidence of the Ameri-
can people.
We hereby express our indorse-
ment of the principles of the repub-
lican party as expressed it it's plat
form adopted at Minneapolis and
pledge ourselves to an earnest and
aggressive campaign for the sue
cess. Believing as we do that the
interests of counties as we'll
as those of the state and ma
ton are to be best subserved by
the election of republicans to Office,
we pledge ourselves to heroic exer-
tions to keep>Ada county in the re.
publican fold, and urge all republi-
cans to throw aside every other
consideration and work for the sue
cess of the party that Ada county
may roll up her old-time republi-
can majority at the November
election.
We pledge ourselves to work for
needed changes in our laws, max
ing special mention of the subject
of irrigation, upon which wise leg

is imperatively demanded.
Believing that the free exercise
of individual opinion and action is
one of the bulwarks of the republi.
can structure, we send an un.
pledged delegation to our state con-
ventions at Moscow, knowing thai
they will select such men to be our
standard bearers as will insure a
sweeping victory and continual

The United stntes rrrnsnrv.

Secretary of the Treasury Foster, in an
address at Republican mass-meeting at
Frederick, Md, the other night, took up
the Democratic charge that the treasury is
bankrupt, criticising especially Vice Presi-
dent Candidate Stevenson for gross igno-
rance of this question. He declared that
the government under the presidency of
Harrison enjoys the highest and best credit
it ever enjoyed. He said that while charg-
ing that the treasury was bankrupt the
Democrats of this Congress were at work
increasing appropriations. For more than
II months the cry of bankrupt treasury
has been kept going but at all times the
treasury has promptly met every obligation
of the government. The revenues are in
creasing at the rate of three millions

Civii Service Reform Under the Harrison
Administration.

Throughout the present campaign it has
been the practice of the Democratic and
Mugwump press and speakers to refer to
President Harrison's ; course with regard to
the civil service as if it had been entirely
given over to the spoilsmen. and as if the
President had steadily violated or ignored
every principle of civil service reform. To
these unwarranted accusations the Boston
journal replies with the following state
ment of facts:
"As a matter Of fact, more positive ad-
vance in reform methods has been made
under the present administration than un-
der any of its predecessors. Admittedly
President Harrison has given us the strong
est and ableSt board of civil service com
missiOners We have ever had. Under his
administration, the abuses which We're
rampant in the Indian service under Cleve-
land have been rectitied and the service has
been placed under the rules. The practice
which prevailed under Cleveland of ap-
pointing men to the unclassified service
and then promoting them into positions in
the classified service for the purpose of
evading the competitive examinations has
been abolished. \ new system of promo
tionS, based on merit, has been introduced
in the treasury department. \ like system
has been adopted by the postmaster general
for promotion in his department and in the
classified post-otlices. There has been a
complete and sweeping change in appoint
ments in the navy yards, both as regards
skilled and unskiled labor, all positions
being thrown open to the test of merit by
competitive examinations, and the long
standing political abuses in the distribution
of those appointments entirely abolished.
The civil service rules have been extended
over the model attendants in the patent
office, over the employees of the fish COM
mission and over the employees i'm nine of
the larger pOst-otices not before included
under them The classified service, which
nine years ago covered only $4,000 places,
now covers "a, 900. 1t embraces nearly
! 10000 places in the departments at Wash
ington; more than three-fourths of the
! customs officials of the country, collecting
| "a per cent of the customs revenue; more
! than three-fourths of the officials below
postmasters at the G5, 900 post-otlices of the
! Union, the railway mail service and the
! Indian school service. Doubtless much
| yet remains to be done, but it seems to II,
! that nothing is to be gained for the causC
of reform by minimizing the results already
accomplished, or by vilifying an admins
/ tration which has made important contr
| buttons to those results"

Mr.. Dillenbeck was formerly editor-in-chief
of the Rutland Herald.
1t is announced that Grover Cleveland
Mr.. Whitney and Mr. Dickinson, have
each contributed $4,000 to the Democrat

The Democratic claim that a majority of
the young men are allying themselves with
that party gets a blow in the face from
canvass of the undergraduates of Cornell
university which dscloses 800 Republicans
to 80 Democrats.
Hon. Frank Plumley of Northfeld has
been engaged by the Republican national

The Boston Globe published Monday a
13-column article purporting TO he new
evidence to be presented by the government
in the case against Lizzie Borden. New
charges against Miss Borden's character
were made, and large amount of testimony
presented which tended to show her guilt
The testimony was supported by afiidavits
from the different persons who gave it, and
was sold to a Globe reporter by private de
tective. The whole story was a fake of the
worst kind, and the Globe has retracted il
and apologized. But the whole business
was piece of sensational journalism,
which detracts from the Globes reputation,

4 Threatening Outlook,

The London Times takes gloomy view
of the cholera outlook abroad for next
year, notwithstanding the apparent sue
cess of the efforts made to prevent gem
eral epidemic the present season. In re-
view of the situation, printed last week
the Times says: "The recent cholera news
from abroad means that seed is being
sown over vast area in central Europe
ready for the death harvest in 1898. The
news from GrodnO means that western
Russia right up to the Prussian border and
beyond is infected; the news from Odessa
means that the seed is sown in the Black
Sea littoral and the Danubian provinces a:
the news from Buda-Pesth means that the
isolation of Gaicia was an utter failure
and that Austria and Hungary are involv-
ed, while the news from Spandau means
that the waterways from Berlin to the riv-
er oder are infected. Scattered cases of
the disease in the Netherlands tell the same
tale. If precedent is of any value, all
those districts and also Poland and France
will break out into a blaze in 1898. Chol-
era will knock at many doors and woe be-
tide if there is a crack anywhere.

Illinois. too. Has Higher Wages.

New York, Massachusetts and Indiana
have bureaus of statistics which have re-
ported increased wages under the McKin-
ley law, and the report of New jerseys saw
ings bank inspectors indicate the same thing.
A fifth state has added to this testimony in
behalf of the Mckinley act. Illinois has
one of the best bureaus of labor statistics in
the country, and it has reported an increase
of 1916 per cent in the daily wages of coal
miners in the past year. 1t is this sort of
fact which has led statistician and poiti-
cal economist like Gen. Francis A. Walk
er, himself a free trader, to admit that "pro
tective duties tend to create and maintain
higher wages in the factory industries"

Der of his staff, and recognized every

in person, from Boston brewers, campaign
contributions ranging in amount from

appealing to the brewers and liquor deal
ers for money to aid in the Democratic
campaign fell into the hands of the Re
publicans, greatly to Democratic discom-
future. This year the work has been done
more quietly and secretly, but none the
less surely and effectively.

A bold conspiracy to steal the state of
Pennsylvania for Cleveland at the Novem-
Der election has been made public. The
facts in brief, ale that under the new vot-
ing law in that state all the names to be
voted for must be printed on one ballot
There are so many candidates, including
national, state and county, that to print
all the names on one sheet of paper would
require a sheet 30 by % inches in size.
There are very few presses in the state that
can print so large a ballot, and none out
side the larger cities. The scheme of the
Democratic managers was to hold back
until the last possible day, Oct. 20, from
the commissioners of the Republicans
counties the official promugation of the
form of the big ballot, while the commits
sioners in the Democratic counties were to
be given the information in advance. This
would enable ballots for the Democratic
counties to be printed and distributed be
fore the election, while Republican coun-
ties would have no ballots and could not
vote Special elections could be ordered
afterwards for county officers, but the ma
tional and state elections would be hope
lesslv stolen for the Democratic candidates.
The discovery and exposure of the plot
undoes the work of the conspiracy, but it
was piece of contemplated rascality which
has few equals in the history of our poll

The managers of the Republican cam
pagn in New Ysrk city have discovered a
well-organized plot, of the old Tammany
type, to colonize negro repeaters mainly
from the slums of Baltimore and Washing
ton, for use at the November election in
that city. Some time in August Capt"
J. w. Elder, a well-known Washington
politician and shrewd manipulator, ap-
peared in New York, took rooms in GER
tain quarter of the city, and set about the
work of finding places where his imported
voters could be given temporary residences
from which they could register and vote.
The Republican managers are so alert that
Elders presence in the city was at once
discovered, his movements were watched,
and an exposure of the plot was the result.
From the developments made public there
appears to be no doubt that Elders work
has been done with the knowledge of the
Democratic national committee and under
their help and direction.
