votes for what he don't want--and
usually gets it.-MoscOw Times Demo-

Fusion is sort of "you scratch my
back" affair among the politicians who
want the office Moscow Times DEM
ocraC.
The Pops have got gum, but it is
empty, and in fact was never loaded
with anything, -Shoshone
Journal.
Why is fusion like a mule? Be-
cause neither is proud of its ancestry
and neither has any hope of posterity.
-Shoshone Journal.
Among the many fusion papers in
the state that are ashamed to fly their
tickets in their columns is the Mont
pelier Eraminer.-Ex,
Edgar Wilson has one thing that his
political opponents cannot take from
nor conceal even if they wanted to,
namely: The unequalled record he
made in congress.-Bo Democrat.
With Judge Hepburn in congress,
reservation difficulties would be ad-
justed without delay, and with grace
fulIness that would make all property
holders smile.-Pocatello Advance.
The Mckinley Republicans and sill.
yer Republicans fused in ShUshone
county, not so much on account of sill
yer as on account Of the fact that peo-
pie who think alike should act together.
HALEY News Miner.
Steunenberg will find it more trouble
to corral the voters on election day
than he did to corral the delegates. The
trading of judgeships would work all
right in convention but it is different
at the polls.-Boise Sentinel.
The free silver Republican papers
who are boasting that the Populists
are dead in Idaho will be ready to
make affidavit later, that November 8
was resurrection morning. -Lewiston
Teller.
Edgar Wilson, the fusion nominee
for congress, has been tested by the
people of this state, and his excellent
record in their behalf will insure their
support and his Observation-Disclosures.
Pru-ens!
Since the state administration has
by its egregious laundering lost all the
valuable pine lands, we hear less about
the 100000 saved ION paper) by the
economic state administration
Lewiston Teller.
The worth of Steunenberg to the
Democratic party can now be estimat-
ed on cash basis but the value of the
Democratic party to Steunenberg is
something he is now considering SER
iously.-Lewiston Teller.
In nominating Patrie, Sinclair, VIII,
son, Sullivan and Hutchinson, Sweet
and Dubois were merely paying their
political debts. No one supposes for
an instant that the great cause of silver

Teller.
The Populists were purpOsely shut
out of the proposed 'isilveT union" by
designing bimetallic silver champions
who prefer Office to the 16 to l cause
Watch the Pops paralyze the wind
tanners November 8th.-Malad En-
terprise.
When the wandering soul Of q con-
victed assassin speaks for the Democ'
racy of Idaho in convention assembled
the balance of the people of this par
ticular commonwealth had better take
to tie tall timber about to be disposed
of by Governor Steunenberg.-Malad
Enterprise.
The Democrats have enough to apol
ogize for on account of the fusion In
the state without adding to the burden
by fusing with the silver Republicans
in the county. BY taking in the silver
Republicans they would lose even re-
spect for Observation-Disclosures Lake
Sentinel.
The silver question is the great issue
it is the one paramount soul absorbing
issue of the coming campaign. In itt
consideration all party differences are
lost sight of and are forgotten. II

harmonious silver contentious in Ida
: no, Colorado, Nevada and elsewhere
