Political Notes.
The Populists are the only people
that want an increase of the cur
rency.
Thank God the Republicans in
Congress voted against silver.-N.
Y. Tribune, Republican.
The Nampa Leader, Blackfoot
News and Canyon County Argus
have hoisted the name of Hon. J.
NJ. Ballentine for governor.
A reward of $1,000 has been Of
fered for the arrest of the parties
who dynamited the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan company's works.
The friends of Hon. Ben Wilson,
of Placerville, are making vigor-
Gus campaign for his nomination
as governor on the Democratic
ticket.
The Peoples party is the only
party that favors the free coinage
of silver at a ratio of Is to /. Re-
member that pointer, miners, when
you cast your vote next November.
A man who manipulates trade so
as to cause starvation is guilty OF
murder. A government that by its
laws, aids him in doing so ought to
be wiped out of existence.-Colum-
bus CO., Populist.
Pocatello Tribune: Republicans
in all parts of the state should or
ganize for the coming campaign.
Tae party forces should be united,
for the contest with the populists
will not be walk over.
To remedy their many ills the
workingman should take hand in
politics and bury the democratic
and republican parties. Both have
betrayed him time and again and
will continue to do so whenever in
power. Both of these parties are
owned and controlled by the rich
and the workingman who cannot
see it is blind.-Ores & Metals.
Idaho Herald: There seems to
be a disposition on the part of
number of Pocatello democrats to
vote the republican state ticket from
top to bottom in the event that
three tickets are in the field. There
are other democrats, one of whom
said to the writer yesterday, 1.-The
d-n democrats haven't ghost of
a show to carry the state; I'll vote
with the populists."
The populists met at Moscow
and nominated a county ticket and
elected delegates TO the state con-
vention. There were 112 delegates
present. Last election the populists
were almost without any organiza-
ton in the northern counties, and
one delegate was about all they sent
to the state convention. This year
they will send a full delegation.
Hon. VIM. H. Clagett says he will
carry the five northern counties.
Moscow Times Democrat The
political! outlook in this county is
brighter for the peoples party to.
day than ever before. That the old
parties will be defeated is almost a
foregone conclusion. The republi-
can party is weakening daily and
the democratic is almost, if not
quite extinct. For long time past
the democratic ringleaders have re-
sorted to every means to create a
fusion with the populists on coun-
ty ticket. Their efforts resulted in
| repeated failures. An attempt was
then made to get on the state ticket
with the populists. In this, too,
they failed. Now they are making
a fight to get on with the republi-
cans and defeat the populists. How
successful they will be in this the
future alone will tell, but if we read
the handwriting on the wall cor
rectly we predict failure for them
there. We do not look for state
ticket from the democratic party.
One may be placed in the field, but
it is not probable. In Latah county
we believe they will attempt to Sc
cure some OF the Offices by "swap-
ping"with the republicans, although
we have it on reliable authority
that a ticket will not be placed in
the field and the party will endorse
the peoples party ticket.
