Party Organization:

II there was ever time that the re-
publlcans Of Idaho and especially Nez
Perce county should be organized for
effective work, it is In this year of 1896.
There are more important subjects
weighing in the balances Just now
than at any time In the past history of
our country. There is a observable
restlessness in all parts of the country
than ever was known in the history of
party politics. This state of affairs
forh,des commotion, the effects of
which are not easy to forecast. The
national republican party has an
opportunity that is very fiattering,
but the conscious strength may not
induce wise action in very important
matters. There seems to be such
certainty of the success of the next
republican candidate for president that
the democrats have despaired. In fact,
there Is little said about the possible
candidates Of that party. They are
dismayed and without leaders for the
reason there should be extra care in
outlining the policy Of the great repub-
lican party. 1t is just these condi-
tions that precede the downfall of all
political leaders. Because the old
party Is 80 strong, 1t should have strong
leaders and they should stand upon
strong platforms.
In the county there is particularly u
demand for organization and the elm.
inatlon Of all factional feeling from
party. There is doubtless majority
OF republicans In the new votes that
are to be registered this fall but the
most effective work Ia very certain to
control the majority.
