ing poverty TO the voters OF our
county as they canvass, and. upon
the plea OF poverty, ask the people
to vote for them and thereby put
them in Office. The people OF any
county would make grand mis-
take in putting men into office to
run county affairs, who plead pow
erty and an inability to make
successful living in running their
individual business. The iaxpay

! On Tuesday evening Hon. Fred
T. Dubois and Governor Steunen
berg addressed good sized audi
ence ut the pavilion. 1t is quite
noticeable that Mr.. Dubois has inn
proved in his manner Of public
speaking. His speach, or rather
his lecture, was on the subject of
the Orient as he saw IL during his.
late visit to the Sandwich Islands,
China and japan, and it was a very
interesting lecture. There was not
u single thing in it that related to
the political issues OF the present
campaign. He did. however, refer
to the silver question and the tariff
question. His remarks on the sill
yer question were IN. line with his
former speeches on that subject, |
but his speech on the tariff ques-
ton was complete flop from all of
bis former speeches on that matter;
SO we can lot now call Mr.. Dubois
'ven silver republican. II Mr..
Dubois is not in accord with the re.
publican party on the money ques-
ion and is not in accord with the
silver republicans on the tariff
question, then Mr.. Dubois is no
'art OF a republican and must be a
democrat.
Governor Steunenberg had but
ew things to say which are issues
n this campaign. The burden of
is song was an imploring appeal
, the populists, party which has
ot nominated him but which have
candidate of their own; he begged
lem to abandon their support of
[r. Al derson, their nominee for
overnor, and vote for him, because
nderson stood no show to be
ected. This we call demagogism
I'D his party should feel humili
ed to know that Governor Steun-
,rg is now BEGGING FOR PoPULIsT
oTEs, when the populist committee
as kicked out of the democratic
lck door when they came to the
committee to arrange
r like fusion as of two years ago.
Another noticeable feature of the
Getting was to see Fred r. Dubois
a common rostrum with Cover
Or Steunenberg. begging for the
sction OF Steunenberg, when two
ars ago in the campaign Stcun-
berg referred to Dubois as a cheap
iitician who was seeking the title
silver champion; and, even after
ction and at the converting of
} legislature, Governor Steunen
rg went out Of bis way and used
official position to aid in de-
ting the election of Dubois to
United States Senate, and he
'ceeded. Now they are scheduled
speak together all over Idaho.

was agreed that Fellows Vansant were to have the
work with at least per cent. profit and that the

the matter and he said that the contract should be

him 600 for the Moore place. Sterne claimed that
he could and would arrange the letting so that Eel

the agreement II we would place the amounts in our

c. A. Fellows gave an interview to
representative Of the Kansas City Times
and it was published in that paper Au-
gust 10, 1896. In this interview he is
quoted as saying that Evans came to
him and asked for figure at which he
should place his bid in order to keep
out the outsiders. Fellows then admits
the writing of the letter by saying:
81 said all right but thought no
more about it. A few days later
he sent me a note, asking for a
figure. l wrote $35 1000 on the back
of the note and returned it to him.
That's all there is in the whole
business. Evans is sore because |

Mr.. Evans refused to go into the pool
and filed bid of his own. This broke
up the deal, as it was known that his
bid would be at least $4,000 less than
that which Fellows & Van SAINT pro-
posed to file. The latter finally got the
contract for $21, GAS, which was nearly
$4,000 less than the original bid would
have been.
The proposition made in this deal to
care for two members Of the Executive
Council may give the readers some idea

did not think Blanco had any knowledge
of it as he was crying when Lee called
TO inform him of the disaster. No elec-
trio lights went out. There was a good
deal Of rejoicing amoung the Spanish
officers and great deal of champagne
