Mckinley is the most popular
candidate ever presented by any
parry in the history of the republic.
The voters of the party arose OF one
accord and asked that this man
be placed at the head of the repub-
lican ticket. When a man is so
pre- eminently the logical candi-
date of his party for the Office OF
president, there is present an ele-
ment of great strength. The party
which is united so perfectly may
or may not be the champion of the
most popular side of a national is
sue but the compact is strong one
in any event. McKinley's follow
ing is largely made up of the mos
intelligent voters in the United
States. The class of his politica
supporters, as we'll as the number
makes him an invincible candidate

faint Of Weavetlsin is upon the
present silver boilers and that |
phase of the money question is un-
popular with the American voters.
IF the people OF the west follow
any lead into the populist camp
they will ruin the cause Of silver.
The cry Of unsound money against
the true silver man has no weight,
but when an effort is made to carry
the Omaha platform the charge is
no longer groundless. 1t will be
far better to work out the silver
problem within the old party lines
than to alarm the world by boiling
to the populists The democrats
have been flirting with the popu-
lists till they are in a fair way to
become united for life. The hope
| less situation of the party in meas
ure iustifies the alliance, because
with them, principle and spoils
are so closely joined. The friend
of silver however is not justified
in boiling the republican party in
the silver states in the hope of adj
vancing his cause. The pcpulists,
the democratic boilers and the re-
publican boilers will come under
the condemnation of fiatism which
has been pronounced by the Ameri
can people. If the question of FREE
coinage could be advanced within
I the republican ranks it would be

The important mineral discov'
cries on Snake river coming as
they do coincident with the devel-
opponents in Florence, Elk and
Pierce insure for Lewiston all adj
vantages of a great mining center.
The location is highly favorable
for the upbuilding of reduction
aud smelling works and the min,
eral deposits on Our sloping noun
tain side are the richest in the
world. Within forty miles of Lew
iston on the shores OF the navgable
Snake river are ores richer and
equal in bulk to the Anaconda de-
posit. The construction Of reduc
ton works is already under con-
sideration here. The advantages
Of shipments down the rivers aud
lover easy railroad grades along the
water courses are very apparent.
There are millions OF tons Of what
may be classed as low grade ores
in the Clearwater basin. Devel-
opements in appliances. and ship
ping facilities only are required to
give this wealth to the world.
There is no manufacturing interest
that equals the mining interest in
the upbuilding Of country.
When the ores of these mountains
can be treated cheaply the trans
portation interests Of this basin
will be very great. The natural
route for heavy freight traffic, as
Charles Francis Adams says: sis
the way the water runs"
These conditions make Lewiston
the natural transportation cente,
as we'll as the natural mining cen.
ter of the Northwest.

The democratic platform adopted
at Pocatello seems to meet with the
appreciation of the populists. Let
the populists now, be as modest in
their declarations, and the Idaho
"spoilsmen" will follow the con-
:vention with a caucus to name the
reward for principles sacrificed
and populism recognized. ~

There is danger just now of do
ing the silver cause an irreparable
injury. The populist idea of f.
nance has received impetus from
the action of the St Louis boilers.
The fat mo aey heresy of the past
decade is unpopular with the peo-
pie Of sturdy qualities in this
thoroughly practical nation. The
democratic party has ever been
vacilating. The hope Of victory
attracts it to either side of the po
Ntieal fence on one issue. Thu

There can be but two great po'

There can be but two great pc.
litical parties in the United States.
There have often been revolutions
within party lines at different
times in our history. Fixed prin-
ciples do not satisfy a progressive
people and thus our politics and
even our religion must advance
with civilization. Judge Claggett
said in Lewiston last week that
the republican party has one great
advantage over other parties; it
has grand history; and it is al
ready written. SO that cannot be
undone. The republican party has
a history not only as the promoter
of human rights but as party OF
progress in every material way.
The history of the financial poll
cies of the republican party is not
the least conspicuous of its achieve
ments. The policy which sup
ported the government through the
great rebellion was master stroke
of wisdom; and the successful re-
sumption Of specie payment in a
short time was the wonder of the
age. Within the republican party
there was contention at every step
forward. Lincoln was annoyed by
the efforts to retard the financial
schemes of the government. He
patiently pleaded for united sup
port of the measures which were
his hope. Even in his distress
though he said republicans could
have honest differences Of opinion
and still be republicans. We have
come now again to the point where
we can appreciate this advice.
There can be republicans bound to
the party by the ties Of history
which Judge Claggett recognizes,
who differ about questions. stand
ards Of currency values, etc. In this
great west there are republicans
democrats and disaffected wrang'
lers from both parties, who cal
themselves populists. Practicall,
all members OF both parties and the
populists are ardent free silver
men. This being the case there
can be no split on the silver ques
ton that will interfere with par
ty lines in the west. Cleveland i:
the most rabid of gold bugs and no
body controverts his democracy
Likewise the rule will apply to thu
followers of the silver advocates it
idaho. The next congress can b.
made q free silver congress, ane
yet be republican congress; ane
it is a logical conclusion that Nc
Kinley, as president, would ap
prove Of a free silver bill, if i
should be passed up to him Th'
bolt at St. Louis does not mea,
much in this section of the country
where there IS general approval o
the sentiment that caused the bolt
The man who favors silver will
all his heart. hopes to see that sen
timent become the popular finan
cial policy by the power of the bal
lot. That being the case it woule
be foolish policy to hold the sec
tional issue above party. We al
want to fight for silver but w
want to preserve our organization
and fight in party lines, at ieas
where there is no division on tina
subject.

HAwKINsV7LLE AND ATKINSON.
Three Meetings Held This Week to
Act on His Candidacy.

Hawkinsville, Ca, Nov. 7.-At the call
of thirty-two democrats, published in the
Hawkinsville Dispatch and News on
Wednesday, twenty-three democrats as
sembled at the court house to-day and
unanimously resolved that it would be I'M
wise and unpolitic to have another state
election at this time and instructed Pope
Brown and Walker Jordan, representa-
tives from Pulaski, in substance not to
vote for Gov. Atkinson for the Senate.
To-day's meeting was called to order
by the gentleman who presided over Mon
days meeting. at which time resolutions
favorable to Gov Atkinson were adopted
and he named the chairman, an active
anti-Atkinson man of Mondays meeting,
and offered the resolution above mention
ed, which was adopted without discus
sion. This Is the third meeting held this
week on the senatorial question. The first
two were favorable to Gov. Atkinson. The

CONGRESS AND THE COIN.
A Chance That Gold VIII Have II
Majority in the Senate

New York, Nov THE announcement,
from Milwaukee, by friends of Senator
John l.. Mitchell of Wisconsin, that he
will support gold measures in the Senate
makes a tie of the gold and silver forces
in that body, and puts upon Vice Pres-
dent Hobart the responsibility of casting
the deciding vote This, of course, upon
the assumption that no other changes are
made
Putting him among the gold men, the
Senate in the next congress, as at pres
ent indicated, will be divided among the
parties as follows: Gold republicans, 81;
gold democrats, S-45. Silver democra is,
20; silver republicans, 10; populsts, 9-l5.
Should Messrs. Garter of Montana and
Shoup of Idaho, who supported Maj. Nc
Kinley in the campaign, ally themselves
with the dominant faction of the party,
the gold vote in the Senate after March
next would be AZ, and the silver vote 4S.
The composition of the House of Rep
resentatives in the Flfty-ffth congress
remains substantially the same as at first
sent out by the Southern Associated Press
the political division, according to the
latest returns, being as follows: Repubh-
cans, 212; sound money democrats, 2; dem
ocrats, 100; silver republicans, populists
and fusionists, 20. Total, 357

He is Accused of Decamping From
Chicago With HI-GOtten Gains.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. IA special from
Makato, Mimi, says: 1.-THE man who
came to Makato three weeks ago and was
unable to remember his own name or past
history was to-day identified by j. w.
Blanchard of Chicago as his former part
ner, who, he claims, mysteriously disap-
peared from Mobile, Ala, June II, last,
taking with him several thousand dollars
of the firms money and leaving $4,000 in
debts behind him contracted without Mr..
Blanchards knowledge. The forgetful
man is John Hardcastle Hall, an English
man, and according to Blanchard's state
ments he is a master at deception and
trickery, yet withal a most wonderful
man. Hall seems to remember only the
good that he has done and has no recol-
lection of his alleged crookedness.
blanchard states that he will not pros
ecute Hall, and returned to Chicago yes
terday, having satisfied his curiosity re-
garding the man. Hall has attracted wide
attention. letters have been received here
from all parts of the country giving de-
scriptions of missing business men. 1t is
thought here that Hall is mentally I'M
balanced, but Blanchard does not share
this belief"

HORTENSE IRENE WRIGHT,
Born December 11th, 1S49,
Died October l4th, 1896.
Another chair is vacant now
Around our fireside
We've kissed and soothed the pallid brow
OF earths maternal guide.
A mother who had cared for us,
And always turned listening ear,
One in whom we could depend and trust,
When no other help was near.
Death grasped her in his chilly hand,
Bearing her to realms above,
Where angels crowned with glory, stand
Round the Author of Eternal Love.
Her body lies beneath the sod,
Her grave is moist with tears,
But high above this worlds dlscord,
Her soul rests from its cares.
Her spirit though, from earth has fed
TO heavens best reWard;
Why Va.nly mourn We Tor the dead,
Or doubt the will of God?
When Jordans waves shall round us
roar,
And death our mortal form enchains,
Wen follow her, who Sc gone before,
Where our Redeemer reigns.
Then, too, within the pearly gates,
Well tread the golden shore,
Where Jesus and our mother waits
United eVermore.

A word to the wise is sufficient. Don t
ruin your eyes by cheap glasses. Each
tense should be fitted to each eye sepa-

have your eyes examined by scientific
process. Nature demands perfect vision.
You cannot get this unless the glasses
you wear are perfect in every respect.
After that is accomplished the next
thing is the frame for the glasses. II
must fit perfectly in every respect, giving
the wearer comfort and ease. Many
