is true his character Is good deal on
the lines OF Garfield and that perhaps
his kitchen cabinet would have more
influence with him than his official i'd
visers. The bosses are hopeful OF de-
feating him, but not sanguine. The
bosses went to Minneapolis TO defeat
Harrison in 1892, but their efforts were
futile. 1t is true they will not have
$50 Office holders as delegates to con-
tend with, as they had at Minneapolis,
but McKinley's followers and support
ers are Of the earnest, shouting, fanat-
ical order Of beings, who, in all prob
ability will stand by him 10 the end.
The hope OF the bosses Is to steal away
the South, or rather buy away the
South from the Ohio statesman.
That Is his weak point. There Is no
doubt now that the sentiment of the
South seems to be leaning toward Nc
Kinley, and that his friends are con-
trolling things quite satisfactorily in
Southern delegates to Republican Ma
tional Conventions that they will not
stay bought. Although they receive a
retainer when elected as delegates and
sufficient sum to paw their expenses
to the National Convention, still their
custom is to sell out to the highest bid
der when they reach the convention.
John Sherman had two-thirds Of the
delegates from the South pledged,
promised and very likely paid for at
Chicago in 1888. Yet Alger bought near
ly all Of them away from Sherman In 10
hours. McKinley's enemies are hoping
and expecting that they will be able to
handle the Southern delegations after
reaching st. Louis, but McKinley's
friends here insist that the Ohio man
will be as well heeled at st. Louis as
Morton or any Of the other aspirants
for the nomination.

Our Only Hone.

The only hope for Democratic sue
cess in Idaho in the coming campaign
is in harmony and close adherence to
the principles which are firmly i'm
bedded in the hearts of the rank and
file OF the party. We mnst select lead
ers who viii be unfalteringly and un-
swervingly true to those principles.
We cannot afford at this critical pc
riod to repeat the mistakes of the past
We cannot select leaders because OF
their certain traits of character fitting
them to meet certain leaders of the OPP
posing parties. We can not take them
from those who may base their claims
upon their long standing in the party
and because they simply want to be
leaders. We must offer the voters our
very best qualified men, whether they
be our old men or our young men, and
they must be as true to our principles
as the needle is to the pole.
Harmony in the ranks would follow
such action. A touch of elbows would
be noticed all along the lines. A dis
position to impose upon another what
one would not accept for himself would
disappear entirely, and then with I'M
qualified declaration and purpose to
undo the evils which exist to-day, and
with pledges to stand by and protect
our mining interests of silver equally
with those of gold, and with additional
pledges for the reduction OF State and
county expenses to the lowest point
consistent with the States and counties
demands, we may look for a reunited
membership in the party and be en-
couraged to battle and win the day.

Wire Pulling for the Nomination.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The politi-
clans are evidently settling down to the
serious work OF controlling the Ma
tional convention.
There is no longer doubt that the
bosses Of the Republican party are al
most unit in opposition to Mckinley.
They are afraid, too, that notwith-
standing their efforts Mckinley will
capture the nomination. They admit
that II the convention were held now
instead Of in June, Mckinley would be
nominated on the first ballot. They
are evidently afraid that the enthusi-
asm for Mckinley will continue, and
when the clans meet at st. Louis he
will be strong as now.
It is difficult to see where the oppos-
ing OF the bosses to Mckinley comes In.
He has always been bosses man. 1t
