THE LINES ARE DRAWN.

1t Is the South, West and Northwest
Against the Plutocratic East.
A careful analysis of the vote upon
the silver bill, and of the absent MEM
bers, shows some very interesting fig
ures. The full number of the house is
3S2. Mr.. Kendall, of Kentucky, having
died leaves 331. Of these, five of the
absentees- (N. W, Cheatham
IN. c., Compton (Md.), Donivan (O.)
and Springer Qn.)-have not fixed their
position. This leaves S2o members who
now stand as below, and absentees ac-
counted for:
For the bill-Democrats, las; repub-
hcans, IL; peoples party, Q; total, 165.
Against the bill-Democrats, "a; re-
publicans, II; total, 161.
1t would be striking coincidence if
Mr.. Springer's vote should be the one
to decide the issue as it was in the
choice of speaker.
The vote in the house is cast individ-
ually, and as already said was tie If
each state should be governed by ma
jority of the votes of it's members, and
this taken as indicating the choice of
the electoral college, it would show a
vote of 22S in favor of free coinage to
216 against it. After pairs and absentees
are accounted for fair analysis of the
vote by states and parties, to table the
silver bill, is given below:

The Alliance and Politics.

The alliance is as full of politics as an
egg is of meat. 1t is true that the order
is non-partisan, but not non-political. A
partisan is one who fights for party re-
gardless of principle, a non-partisan is
one who fights for principles and sup
ports the party which accepts the prin-
ciples. From one end of this land to
the other the alliance is taking this po-
sition, and they will stand by it. We
advise the order to stand just in this
position. Stand for principle and 0ght
for honest demands. Support the party
that is fighting for these demands and
we will win the fight. 1t is no time
now to falter or weaken. If we expect
the relief that is SO much needed we
must strike the blow.-Atlantic South

A careful study of these figures will
give remarkable clear indication of
the location and strength of the reform
sentiment Of the country. If the pluto

vocate protection and the single gold
standard they would probably carry

Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont

sition would have a majority in Ala

West Virginia, and Wyoming-2e5
votes. The doubtful states would be
California, Illinois, Ohio and Wiscon-

The domination of the money power
is coming to a crisis. Between plu-
tocracy and the people the strain upon
the old parties is terrific. They are
losing all former elements of cohesion.
This confession free silver has torn holes
through their old hulks that cannot be
patched or mended. The democratic
party, as was easy to forecast, is wholly
unequal to the stress of the weather.
but the people who as an expedient sent
to congress this overwhelming majority
are still on hand. They are casting
aside all prejudices. They know what
they want, and they will have it. When
plutocracy can be sectionalized in the
east, it must perish, Lay on now. De

BOISE DEMOCRAT: On Sunday
last, as the guests were leaving the
residence of Mr.. Bowling, near the
mouth of More creek, Fannie Dow
ling, Haley Call and Alice Percy,
three little girls, were missed. They
were found standing on the river
bank waiting for their clothes to dry.
Slippers, stockings and white dresses
were in deplorable state. AT first
they refused to explain things, but
finally one of them said Fanny was
to give them a ride, so Alice and Hal
ley got into the boat, each taking an
oar, while Fanny held on to the rope.
The rope was wet and the water
swift and Fanny could not hold the
boat, which with the two little girls
was soon floating out into the cur
rent. The girls, seeing their danger
sprang from the boat and waded tC
the shore, Fanny gong to meet them
and each one intent on saving the
boat. Had the water been little
deeper the boat ride might have had
sad ending.

j. N. Cox brought several samples
OF turnip beets, raised on sage brush
ranch. near Caldwell, into this shop
last Monday. We very much dislike
telling about the wonderful products
of Boise valley, for envious newspa-
per men of other towns ruin their rep
utations for veracity and destroy their
peace of conscience by telling about
imaginary products of their respec-
tive communities. Besides, some of
them mildly intimate that The Trib-
une exaggerates. This, of course, is
a mistake. The only news appear
ing in the Tribune which dlsturbs the
equilibrium of our serene conscience,
is new railroad talk, and we always
give 80 per cent. off on that. But in

HAVE you noticed that Democratic
papers of this State are very friendly
toward the Peoples party and switch
off every little while and give it
words of encouragement to cheer it
on? Do you know the reason why?
1t is plain. The situation is this
Weaver cannot be elected To get
there he would have to receive ma
jority over the combined electoral
votes of the Democrats, Republicans
and Prohibltionists. This, it is PLAIN,
he cannot do. If Harrison does not
receive a majority ovsr the other
three candidates the election will 90
into the House of Representatives
and the House will elect Cleveland.
A vote for Weaver is equivalent to a
vote for Cleveland. So every Dem
ocrat who casts his vote for Weaver
will be voting for Cleveland; every
Republican vote for Weaver is a vote
away from Harrison and one vote
more for Cleveland. No wonder the
Democrats are friendly toward the
Peoples party. Democrats go into
the Peoples party with the view OF
leading Republicans in,o the trap
and they are meeting with some sue
cess.
