The matter Of who wins In this
election resolves itself into the one
question of which party gets its vote
out best. There have been but little
changes from the condition of two
years ago. None who voted for Leedy
then will vote for Stanley now unless
it is some disappointed office seeker.
Hundreds and probably thousands Of
those who voted for Bryan and did
not vote for Leedy, will this year
vote for him, Some who voted the
straight republican ticket then, re-
membering the reductions in the cost
of school books, of insurance, and of
charges for marketing stock, will this
year vote for the populist ticket. The
occasional man named by the repub-
licans as being converted to their side.

distance to vote and often men who

RENO county never had better Of
ficer, more obliging, more courteous
and accommodating, more efficient in
bis office work than Fay smith, 1t can
not of course be said that Fay has no
enemies. A man who makes no ene-
mics makes no friends. He is a super
numerary. But Fay probably makes
as few enemies as any man who has
character enough to amount to any
thing. He should be given second

THE republican papers have made
another manifestation Of their en-
deavor to discredit any patriotic ac
tion on the part Of anyone else than u
republican In the Spanish war by at
tacking Congressman Botkin's son,
Ralph, sixteen years Of age, and who
is now just past the danger point with
typhoid fever. Botkin was too young
for the service but got his fathers con-
sent. He failed to pass the physical
examination but appealed to the presi-
dent personally and got an order to en-
list him. But some Of the lower Of
acers haggled back and forth over the
order and the republican whoopers
are now Rlorying over a statement
that he was not an enlisted man. 1t
may be a fact that he was not on the
pay roll, but it is nevertheless a fact

HERE Is some excellent sense In the
Interior Herali, The Herald is sup
porting the republican ticket, or all
but Long, but it knows that the Span
ish war was not a republican war al
together, and the cause Of the country
Is not party issue. "The fears ex-
pressed bya good many pap-sucking
republicans, that there is danger TO
Mckinley and his policy, in the com
iNg election, are not well founded.
If there should be, from any cause, a
democratic majority Of from twenty
five to fifty in the next house of repre-
sentatiyes the president could depend
on solid support for his policy. The
democrats Of the south are fully COM
mitted to the war and its natural re-
suits They are zealously establishing
their character as patriots anG good
citizens and they will not antagonize
Mckinley in his policy"

WEBB McNALL may be a road ag-
ent, but If 80 he is of sort the people

court house last week which showed
the effect of the sort of road agent he
Is. Five years ago under the old sys-
tenn before we had any laws under
which rate books were illegal, and be-
fore the era of McNall's "hold ups"
the county commissioners insured the
county jail for $4,000 at a rate of 4
per cent, paying premium Of S72O. 90,
Saturday 1t was reinsured 1t was
let to the lowest bidder. The bids
were as follows by various agents, the
county to take the choice of compau-
les for which they wrote insurance.
The bids were 224 per cent, 1888 per
cent, LA per cent, and l.25 per cent
respectively. 1t was let to John Kin
kel at l.25 per cent, or 2,75 per cent
less than before. 1t was insured for
$4,000 for five years. The premium
paid was $225,00 or n saving to the tax
payers of the county of $4,000. One
would not think that any tax payer
would vote against an administration
that would accomplish such results
and for a crowd that designate it as a
gang Of road agents and highway
men.

The News teels much hurt at John
Breidenthal. 1t has a right to 80 feel.
SO has W. E. Stanley. Both of them
have been saying pretty things about
John and telling the dear people that
he would vote the Republican ticket.
OF course they knew he wouldn't. But
John hasn't made any speeches in any
campaign for several years and they
hoped he wouldn't tell the people any
different. He hasn't behaved nice. He
has gone right out on the stump and
urged the people to support the Popu-
list ticket. He is hitting some hard
blows, and now they are calling on the
mountains to fall on them for ever say
ing good things about him. 1t makes
the people think a good many other
things they haye said may not he bet

GExER.L MILES REpoRr.

The report CT Major, General Miles must
be Il decided disappointment to the yellow
Journals and the political ~demagogues. In
his fondnesg for publicity. the general
talked a sgsnd deal during the war. and
OH one occasion gave 4 somewhat sensa-
tionai intersieT-oT, according 70 sHbse-
quent reports, allowed Mrs. Miles TO give
it-in which he mad some charges against
Secretary Aigcr. These charges. though
meyer really OF great seriousness, were en-
larged upon. by the sensational and anti
administration papers to the end that an
open breach might be, made between the
war department and the field commanders.
when General Miles wrote his report.
however, he. was just enough not 10 put
anyone in a false light. even though he
made many efforts 10 exploit his own
plans as distinguished from others that
were adopted instead. 1t is emilently
proper IN making such a report 10. cover
the ground Of proposed as well as accepted
p.ans. and the man who has the RESPONSE
biIity il justified in defending his Judgment.
Yet this defegse in Nues case. while it
frees him from responsibility for the early
invasion of Cuba. also robs him of some
of the glory of the Campaign as carried
out. and it makes him responsible for the
selection of C~h!ckanauga as the site FOR
the principal mobilization camp. This last
phase of the report Will be a particularly
hard blow TO these who have lavish1y laud-
ed General Miles because he said u few
things adverse to the war department. and
at the same time have axcorfated the war
departmen; for having selected such a site
as C-hickanauga park fors the big encamp-
ment. %.
without going into extended detail, the
report OF Gen4ral Miles must lie very ben
otlcial TO the administration. 1t removes
The suspicion that there was a strained
relation between Miles and Shaftct. and
that the commanding field officers were
handicapped by the secretary OF war. The
report was promptly ordered published by
Secretary Alser. 1t Will DO more than any
thing else gould do to silence the rumors
of military friction.
