That the Republican psrfv has
always been the party of eoreora-
ton and corruption Is we'll known
10 all who know anything about the
history Of that organization. II was
the Republican party that gave To
the railroad companies IL this CONN.,
try upwards of 300. 0O0, 600 .ac res Of
our public domain. and let them
have the money with which 10 build
the roads and took as security mort
cages that are apparently not worth
the paper they are written ON. IL
was under Republican rule that all
our great corporations assumed pro-
portions Of such magnitude M to
overawe all branches OF our Federal
and State government. 1t was I'M
der Republican protection and class
legislation that millionaires multi
piled thousand fold, and paupers
and tramps became as thick as To-
Gusts in this land OF peace and
plenty. Everybody knows that
nearly all the corporations Of the
country, and their enslaved en-
ployes. have election after election
gone solidly to the polls and voted
the Republican ticket. And yet
there a lot of little Republican news
papers throughout Idaho which
hope TO pick up few crumbs from
the table Of the political candidates
by irving to hoodwink the people
into the belief that the corporations
are no longer bosses Of the Repub-
lican party. But the people know
better and will show their lcondem-
nation at the polls on the 9th day
of November.
Ray Raymond, the able travel
ing correspondent of the Salt Lake
Herald, wac in Boise Monday even
ing and attended tho Pepalist rati-
fication meeting that night. He tel
graphed his paper as follows: The
Columbia theater was packed to-
night by Populists, Democrats and
Republicans to hear w. III. Clagett,
the "silver tongued" orator of the
Populists In this State. TWAS a
brilliant effort, and throughout he
numerically scored the Republican,
party for demonetizing silver in
1873 and later on a Republican
President for vetoing free coinage
bill when passed by the House. His
terrible and scathing arraignment
of Republicans on silver was al
most verbatim of an editorial in the
Salt Lake Herald of the 9TH, and
was received with deafening APP
plause. The Republicans are crest
fallen over the terrible onslaught
thus made in their ranks. Claggett
quoted from speeches of Gov. Nc
Connell and Republican Senators Of
this State, showing their insincerity
and double dealing, and that the
people had nothing to expect from
from them on the silver question.
Mr.. Claggett said he had it from a
distinguished Senator that in 1885,
John Wanamaker turned in $780,
900 to the Republican national
campaign committee, with the ex-
press understanding that high
protective tariff would be put on
certain goods in his interest, and the
Mckinley bill covered the promises
made him. Trusts were the direct
result of high protective tariff,
and this country needed no tariff
built about it to foster them in all
their iniquity under Republican
rule. A Republican press had her
aided it broadcast that manufac.
turers of this country had realized
but 9 per cent. ON capital invested
while the census Of 1890 showed
that for the preceding two years
they had realized 20 per cent.
The Boise Democrat asserts that
never was the democratic party in
Idaho 80 completely united. From
the British line on the north to Ne.
vada on the south, from Montana
and Wyoming on the east to Ore
gon on the west. every county and
every precinct is united for the sue
cess of the great and good old dem
ocratic party and the election OF
every candidate on the ticket.
Says the Salt Lake Herald: TIC
see Republican around talking
free coinage of silver when his party
is against IL is very much like the
Indian who could not find his wick.
