MCCONNELL AND SWEET.
The Political Outlook In Latah County
For Them.

For Them.
Moscow, Idaho, April 9.-Governor
Mcconnell paid brief visit to Mos
cow early last week, stopping over
couple of days on his way from the
Occur d'Alenes, where he had been
looking into charges of incompetency
against the state mine inspector, to
resume his official duties at the CAPT
tai. 1t is noticeable that the govern.

and subdued manner when he visits
his old home than was his habit for

the band to meet him at the train and
for long procession to escort him up
town. That was when he sold calico
for two bits a yard, fondled the farm.
ers' babies and was supposed to be a
wealthy merchant. Now he comes in
quietly without acclaim and attracts
very little attention.
Mcconnell aspires to succeed Shoup
in the Senate So does Congressman
Sweet, whose home is also here, and
the aspiration Of these two men has
created some pretty bitter factions ID
Republican party. Sweet, certainly
had more friends at the outset OF the
governors campaign, and he may still
be 10 the van, although some have
been won from him by patronage,
which the governor has used with
such a reckless disregard Of all inter.
ests except his own. During the gov.
ernor's visit county chairman and Dis.
trict Attorney Mitchell called together
about 20 Of the faithful to meet the
governor None Of Sweets friends
were included in the call and their
rage and chagrln at being left out has
not been successfully concealed At
this conference it was decided to or.

can party on the silver question, are
wondering how anything can be done
IN the interest Of silver By remaining
in that party. This movement is look.
ed upon as a very cheap effort to hold
the dissatisfied Republicans, who are
allying themselves with the Populists

party ever attempting to accomplish
anything in behalf of silver. The
number Of these is 50 large as to in.
sure the defeat Of the party in this
county II something is not done to
win them back, and as Latah county
sends four members of the house and
two senator's to the next Legislature,
alarm of both Mcconnell and Sweet
at the prospective loss of all OF them
can be imagined. If there is any
sure thing IN politics it is that Idaho
will not send Republican to the sen
ate to succeed Senator Shoup.-Mos.
