Oklahoma City, July 29-The mystery
OF the murder of Aaron Haning, which
occurred at Keokuk Falls, Ok. in the

murder Of Aaron Haning

The fact that Brieden thai has given

Hon. ]. T. Morrison, of Caldwell, and
Colonel David H. Budlong, of Ceur d
Alene, the straight Republican nom
inees for representative in congress and
governor respectively, addressed a
Rathdrum audience at the court house
last night.
Mr.. Morrison, the nominee for Con.
gress, was the first speaker. He spoke
chiefly on the tariff issue, but alse gave
silver due consideration. He is a bril-
liant speakerland held:the closest atten.
ton of his audience from the beginning
to the end.
Colonel Budlong, the nominee for
governor of this state, followed Mr.
Morrison in an eloquent address the
arguments presented in which must
have appealed strongly to the calmer
reasoning of sober judgment. -Rath.

coNTEMPTlBLE BUSINESS.

We know poor laboring man in
this city who is Populist. He can
give no reason why, but in his simple
| ignorance says he wants to vote the
Demo-Pop ticket. At the same time
he says he wants to vote for two or
three men on the Republican ticket as
he is under personal obligations to
them for favors; that they have fire.
quently assisted him when he was in
actual want and that they have be-
friended his family. He explained his
situation publicly, and every fair mind
ed man in the community respected
the poor, ignorant fellows wishes. Be.
ing ignorant 1t is natural that he should
be a Populist, but he seems to have
some gratitude left, and this gratitude
makes him feel like voting for two or
three friends on the Republican ticket.
He went to prominent business man
in whom he had confidence and asked
his advice, and confessed his ignorance
of politics. He said some of the Popu-
lists told him he must not vote for his
friends, that it was wrong, that there
was great principle at stake and he
must vote the Demo Pop ticket straight
and that he wanted to do what was
right and asked the business mans ad-
vice. The business man is not poll
tician, but be respected the poor fell
lows wishes and advised him to vote
his honest convictions. If he felt that
he should vote the Demo, Pop ticket to
vote it, but if he was under personal
obligations to those on the other ticket
then he should vote for them.
We mention this incident to show
the utter depravity of some of these
Demo Pops. Here they undertake to
take advantage of an ignorant man;
they tried to make him believe it was
wrong to vote for his friend and bene-
factor; they were teaching him to be-
come an migrate; they wanted him
against his own will to injure those
who he knew were his friends. They
we're taking advantage of his ignor-
ance to make him do something which
they would not do themselves, and then
these miserable fellows laugh to them.
selves over what they knew was a ma,
liciOus injury to their fellow man. 1t
is all very well to argue and reason
with men and try to induce them to
vote as you do, but it is a contemplate
business to take advantage of any
mans ignorance and teach him to be-
come an migrate, and no gentleman
will do it.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

Mr.. Frank J. Smith, prominent
young attorney, recently resident Of
Caldwell, but now of Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, in a letter to a friend here
sends the following encouraging words
IL want to send greeting to what is
left of the Republican party in the
state of Idaho and congratulate my.
self that so few of my friends have
gone over to the enemy.
ITO go over to other lines actuated
by convictions is commendable, but to
60 over on the shallow grounds urged
by tho boilers and in the manner they
did is damnable.
II have had the pleasure of Witness
ing marked changes in the sentiment
of the people in Minnesota since the
Chicago convention; and have also the
best evidence, viz: from the free silver
ranks on this coast that there has been
a marked change here and it win con-
tinue until November. l would not
be surprised at all if California gave
Mckinley small majority.
81 am going to take a hand in the
fight myself after little.
Hoping you will give them a little
surprise in your state this fall 1 re-
main. Yours, &C.,

NAMES lNFLUENcE At wAsHlNToN.

Il
Maine, like Vermont, has for long
time given the country an object lesson
In the best way to exercise a great in
flaenee over national affairs. She has
simply adopted the plan of sending
good men to Washington, and of keep
ing them there long enough to gain
commanding places in congress. Thus,
in the present congress, Senator Frye
Of Maine holds the place of president
pro tenn, of the senate; Mr.. Reed Of
Maine is speaker of the house; Mr..
Dingley of Maine is chairman of the
ways and means committee; and the
other two representatives in the house,
namely, Messrs. Boutelle and Milligan,
occupy very important chairmanships.
Names population entities her to only
four seats in the house, yet her moral
influence in congress is greater by far
than that possessed by the state of
New York, which has thirty four seats
in the same body. Names four mem.
bers of the house, Messers. Reed, Ding
ley, Boutelle, and Milligan, are all re-
elected this year to the seats which
they have occupied with credit for nu-
merous terms. Each of the four re-
Ceived majority in his district of over
ten thousand votes. Their campaign
work was all notable, while Mr.. Reeds
speeches, which were widely reported
throughout the whole country, were
especially brilliant and incisive. If
the Republicans should control the
next house, as now seems altogether
probable, no one will question Mr..
Reeds title to another term in the
speakers chair. The speaker Yields an
immense power and has a heavy bur
den of responsibility to bear. No man
is ever elected speaker who has not
proved his worth by long term of ser.
vice in the house. In our opinion there
ought to be some special compensation
provided for the speaker, beyond the
5000 salary of member of congress.
A good argument might be made to
show that there ought to be attached
to the speakership of the house emolu-
ments as great as those of the vice.
president, whose function is to act as
presiding officer of senate. It was re-
ported several months ago that Mr..
Reed had decided that he could not af-
ford to devote any more time to public
affairs at Washington, and that he
would retire In order to practice law
and gain larger income. 1t is always
unfortunate for the country when
man Of great ability and high charac-
ter, of whatever party, who has served
long apprenticeship in pub
lie affairs, retires to private life in the
prime Of his strength and usefulness.
MIR. Reeds acceptance of another term
in the house is therefore matter for
public Congratulation.-From "The

A Boiling POpUlist Gives His Version
The Mess Was too Raw for Him

Woodlawn Ranch, Sept. 10Th 1895.
Mr.. Editor-As l am a boiling dele
gate of the POpulist convention held
in Caldwell the 10Th, 18th and 18th, by
your permission will make a minority
report. While was not in sympathy
with the majority of the convention l
felt and still feel great sympathy for
our conference committee who, in its
faithfulness to duty, felt Inundated
almost beyond endurance.
Since the state convention in Boise
it had been well understood, and was
so understood by our convention, that
majority of the legislature was
pledged to US by the Democrats. We
took the vote of the county and found
it stood 8 to in favor of the Populists.
This in a union or fusion would entitle
us to more than half OF the offices. At
9 o'clock p. m. of the second days SEES
sion the Democratic ultimatum came
and with 1t a broken pledge, giving us
two representatives and giving them
the senator and one representative,
and claiming in all seven offices, giving
us five. 1t then became evident that
the only way to keep the pie eating
crowd from accepting any kind of q
proposition that might be offered.
would be to cut off the possibility of
rations entirely from pie men (who win
sell or give away party or principle
for q mess Of pottage or, for what is
stil worse, a promise Of pie and that
from a party which had already re-
fused to fulfill its pledges). These
wretches deserve condemnation by ey-

THE WoRKINoMAN's oPPoR-
TuNITYs

Every workingman who wants to
get his wages in 3d. cent dollars instead
of 10Ocent dollars will have chance
to crafty his astonishing desire by
voting for Bryan on the Sd of Novem.
Der next. Every workingman knows
that, and everybody else knows it.
Every citizen can vote as he pleases,
and 1t is not possible for any man, any
corporation, or any collection of gold
bugs whatever to prevent his going in
for 5S.cent dollars if he prefers them.
This being so, why is it proposed
that In a coming Bryan procession at
Chicago there shall be a detachment
of masked men representing working
men who do not dare to have it known
that they want 53-cent dollars9 If
there is to be such an unheard.of dis
play, the explanation of it must be
that the masked repudiators are asham-
ed to be recognized by their sensible
fellows and distinguished as fools; and
no wonder!
Talk about intimidating men to par
ade in behalf of reduction of their
wages might be reasonable, though
such intimidation could not be made
to work. But to say that men have to
be terrOrlzed into opposing the reduc-
tion is to put them down so low in the
scale Of being that they have no coun.
terparts excep in asylums for idiots.
If you want to be paid in a 90 cent
dollar instead of 100 cent dollar, fear
not. No power on earth can prevent
you from voting for it. That is your
privilege as a citizen. You can strike
for lower wages, and you can vote for
lower wages, If you are so inclined.
This is a free couHtry.-New York Sun.
