who has just returned from : trip
through Long Valley and Indian
Va3iey, that nine Of every ten men
in that section of country are en-
thusiss tically in favor Of returning
Hon. Fred T. Dubois to the United
States Senate. When the ballots
are counted it will be found that
the great masses Of the people in
this state we're true TO the Idaho

Judge Clagett's personal refer
ences and sbuse Of Senator Dubois
at Blackfoot, in his speech last
week, Disguised many Of those who
have heretofore counted it Z pleas
IRE to hear the Judge speak. He
has been severely c0ndemned for
his bad taste ia speaking of the
Senator % be did at his own home
and among his own neighbors and
friends. The Judge hurt his cause
and should he ever return to make
another speech 1t Blackfoot, it is
safe to say bis hearers will be livery
few and very far between. Black

w. E.. Borah, Idaho's matcbless
young orator, who is making the
fight for congress on the silver ticket,
is having large and enthusiastic
meetings wherever he goes. No
man on any Of the tickets enjoys q
greater degree of popularity in
Canyon county. He ought to re.
ceive handsome majority of the
votes of this county. and we believe
he will.-Payette Independent.
When Mr.. Steunenberg suggested
in his Blackfoot speech that the
people vote for Capt. Gum for Con-
gress, the silence was painful

Why are the emo-Populist lead
ers and speakers directing their at
tacks against the Silver Republi-
cans?
Why do they ignore the McKin-
ley Republicans and make their
fight against Silver RepublicansY
| The Silver Republicans are sup
porting Bryan and Sewall electors
| named by the Demo opulist fusion.
They are supporting Steunsnberg
for governor. They are supporting
Hastings for mine inspector. Yet
the whole fight of the Democratic
Populist combine is against the
most earnest supporters of MIR.
Bryan now before the people of the
state. Think of it, voters Of Idaho
Ii the joint committees want their
candidates or their speakers respect
ed much longer by the people Of
the state, they had better call them
off and direct them to level thei'
guns against the gold-standard Nc
Kinleyites. Unless they do this
they will place themselves in a pc
sition where the people will soor
believe the reports now in circula
; ton that they are now working with
thorough and complete arrange
ment and understanding with thu
, Mckinley men.-Boise Mail.
Last Wednesday evening a gooe
crowd, literally sprinkled with
ladies, greeted Judge Quarles, o
, Lemhi county, and Frank Walton
: of the Pocatello Advance. Thu
speech of the evening was made B,
Mr.. Walton, a brilliant and earnes!
speaker, with his heart wrapped VI
in the Populist cause. He made
! some exceptionally good points il
} discussing the financial question q
: whole, but when he turned t
J. local matters his audience was no
D with him." and every mention o
Dubois name was the signal fo
hearty applause. We doubt
many Dubois Democrats or Popu
t lists or Silver Republicans wer
