l have a leave Of absence for Is
days and have come home to regis
ter and vote.
How are things in Lewiston?
Every residence house is occu-
pied by families and many more
would be filed by new corners if
they could be obtained. There are
a number of buildings going up and
new stores are being opened. The
principal brick buildings now under
construction is one on Main street
and the Lewiston State Normal
School building, which is located
on the hill and now under good
Roadway. The basement story is
about completed and ready for the
brick work. 1t will be q very i'm
posing structure of two stories be-
sides the basement and attic. The
Chemical labratOry is located in the
basement and the Auditorium ok
so feet besides stages etc. and with
the fine winter climate of Lewis
iston and the liberal provisions of
the bill under which it was estab-
lished the trustees hope to make it
equal to the University, or nearly
80.
When will it be opened?
The contract provides that it
will be completed by March l, 1895
and as soon as we can furnish it
after that date it will he opened.
How is politics in Ncz Perez
county?
Well that is little out of my
line just now and do not pretend
to be posted on what the result of
the election will be. All parties;
Democrats, Republican and Popu-
are pretty well represented in that
county. 1 have heard all of the
prominent speakers of each party
who have visited Lewiston 80 far,
Capt. Gum, Ballentine, Dubois,
Sweet, Hepburn, Babb, Walton,
McNamee, Wilson and Clagett.
They were all interesting and
many of them eloquent speakers.
/ must not omit Jas. W. Reid, as
he is a giant in a political campaign.
Each of these numerous speakers
representa- the political parties ap-
peared sunguine their party would
make a sweeping victory. 1t is
generally conceded that the newly
enfranchised Mormons will cut an
important figure in the result and
all claim that they are sure to vote
for their party.
Which do you think is correct!
l can tell you better about the
18th of November, but think those
people, will, like other citizens ex.
ercise the right of franchise as
other citizens and will vote as their
ideas deem for the best.
What are the chances of the
county ticket?
Well, the candidates on the va.
rious party tickets all express con.
fldence. Poe and Monroe for rep
resentative are both good men
neither throw mud and regardless
of the result good man will get
in. 1 have known Jim Poe init
mately for over thirty years and
he is one of the best men l ever
knew. 1 have known Paddy
White nearly as long and he is jus,
as good as any man on the ticket
and would make an honest and Of
ficient officer. 1 have little del
icacy in expressing myself on the
situation of your chief, who edit.
this paper, but his long residence
in Nee Perez county has left 9
good impression and while woult
not say aught against my. prede
cessor, Mr.. Parker's marked abili
ty and energy is fully appreciated
So far as the county officer.
standing / know but little. TIL,
principal and hardest pull is be
tween Tannahill, Sleicher ant
Nudge, all of whom are good mer
and would not be surprised at an,
result. Mr.. Tannahill has made
good officer.
What are the Dr.'s chances fol
election?
Well, you are now getting dow
pretty close to home. Will,
many tell me his election is sure
l never know what will turn NJ
within few days before election
You know Mr.. Edwards to be /;
deserving man and Mr.. Lindsay i
one of LewistOn's best citizens.
The sheriff nominees are boil
clever young men on the tickets O
the old parties and the other i
said to be.
There will no great fight over tn
assessor. 1 know but little o
either but think there will be SOM
warming up in the next week. !
all is conducted honestly and fair
ly l say well done to the victors.
