Of the above the Republicans
in 1898 carried Ada, Latah, Lin
coin, Nez Perce and Oneida for
Congressman. The Populists
carried Blaine and Shoshone, and
the Democrats and Silver Repub-
licans carried the rest. The
counties carried by narrow mar
gins are Canyon by 55, Boise by
80, Cassia by lis and Washing
ton by 1853.
About month ago Andrew
Marker, of Custer, wrote an arti-
Gle, which was published in the
MESSENGER, relative to Harry
j. Syms, the republican nominee
for State Auditor. Mr.. Marker
was one of Idaho's volunteers to
the Philippines, and served in
that campaign faithfully and was
with the rest of the volunteers
at the end of service mustered
out with honors for service to
his government. His charges
against Syms has caused con
siderable stir in republican quar-
ters. Mr.. Marker was one OF
the volunteers and evidently
knew what he was talking about.
and we desire to call attention to
the following from the Pocatello
Advance of Aug. 9TH
There are some fearful charg-
es made against Harry J. Syms,
the republican nominee for State
Auditor. Some one signing him
self Andrew Marker starts the
ball a rolling by calling Syms a
stomach robber' and by saying
of him that he was CONSPICUOUS
only for his undistinguished serv-
ice and the cordial hatred the
rank and file entertained for
him. The same writer says
ANY soldier of the regiment
who knew him will specify in
simple, swift and convincing
diction and with more force than
is permissible in print
THE Advance man thought
he would test this last assertion,
and interviewed several memb-
ers of the Idaho regiment, and
we found that what Marker said
was no dream. Some of the
things we heard wouldn't look
we'll in print.
lone of them said; why, say,
that man needs to be thankful
he is alive. He wouldn't be
alive, either, if the Idaho sharp
shooter had gotten hold of him
about the time he got so ratified
that he didn't know them from
Filipino niggers and set Com,
pany A shooting at them. They
would have all been killed if they
hadn't fortunately been neal
enough to some trees and under
brush to crawl into for protec
ton. Syms might have beer
firing at them yet, if an officer Of
the regular army hadn't ridden
up to him and told him, in lang
uage with more force than i;

his men quit.

Brown of skin. bright OF eye, trim,

the New York Democracy has re-
turned. His six months rest in
England has helped his health. The
VERDICT since his coming has had
sundry talks with Richard Crocker.
Il have never, felt more sure of

kept the closes of watch on the
progress of American affairs. Eng
lands a good place TO keep watch
from at that. One gets birds eye
view of the whole situa ion not pos
sible when YOU are here in the mid
die of it. Bryan will beat Mckinley.
It's In the air; written in the very
faces of the Republicans themselves.
It's as it should be. Bryan to nv
mind. and I've seen him aud read
him and studied him, is the nearest
to Jefferson, and the best and most
American American, save Abraham
Lincoln, that has been proposed for
the Presidency in my time. BRYAN
is of the people, for the people, by
the people. Mckinley is of the
Trusts, for the trusts, aud by the
trusts. The trusts man will 90
down, the peoples man will go up.
Bryan will be the next tenant of the
White House.
Recently when l WAS in London.
Rothschild, the head of the English
banking OF that name, called on me
to ask concerning American politics.
He Was curious, not to say deeply
interested, to hear what | thought of
the result of the coming fight this
fall. L told him that L felt certain of
Bryau's election. Bryan will defeat
Mckinley, | said. Rothschild ex-
hibited the greatest trepidation. If
Bryan is elected it will ruin us over
here he replied. Il don't know as to
that, l said, but after all. your ruin
or your welfare here In England il
not the prime question in America.
We ought not to be electing Presi-
dents to benefit England, but to do
good for ourselves. Bryan. can as
sure you, is to my mind as pure and
as perfect a type of the true Amer
cln as could be found. The Amer
loan people want him. They are
sure to have him. People in Eng
land will have to do the best they
can with those facts. If it "ruinsD
them, as you say it will ruin it must
be. Americans might be wiling to
extend you their sympathy; they are
hardly ready, however, to give You
their Presidents The head of the
Rothschilds went away apparently
much disturbed. He said that what
told him confirmed what he had
already heard. III say this: TO nv
mind the fact that England wants
Mckinley elected is one of the best
American reasons for defeating him.
The fact that E gland fears BRYAN
Is ihe best possible argument WHY
American should trust him and put
him IN the White House, We want
an American President, not an
English one, nor one that England
favors We want no alliances nos
entan lements with England or anv
other European power" There is
one word of suggestion / would like
to make to Bryan. In the coming
fight, the Republican manufacturers
will threaten their workmen. They
will tell them that if Bryan is elected
the factory will. lose down, or that

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

Special TO the Register
NEW YORK, November 4.-Secretary
Ihmsen. of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs, issues the following
statement to-day:
The ten thousand clubs OF the Asso-
citation, with q membership OF almost
two million individual voters have, dur
ing the last three weeks, made care
full canvass. The reports received by
us indicate clearly that Bryan will
sweep the country. His vote Will sur
prise some of his most sanguine sup
porters The Republican party cannot
with accuracy foretelI what the Repub-
licans will do at the election. The
Democratic party can tell with accur
acy in advance what the Democrats
will do. There is, however, a portion
of the voters in the United states
whose intention neither party can ac-
curately forecast Polls can be taken
and tests made, and it is fair TO as
sumo that the same influence operat-
ing over the country viii have like
effect.
Thus if we find that the Italians in
certain sections are going to vote for
Bryan because of militarism, 1t will be
safe to say that sentiment will prevail
among the Italians throughout the
country. Similarly if the Germans of
certain sections are in favor of Bryan
for the same reasons the Italians are.
it is entirely reasonable TO assume
that in some degree the Germans all
over the country will be for Bryan. II
certain hidebound Republicans in GER
tain parts are found to be against the
Republican ticket because of trusts.
some Republicans in every part of the
country viii be found against the Re
publican ticket. The clubs being as
close to the hearts OF the people as it
is possible for any political organiza-
ton TO be. have made careful tests and
enough is known to justify the state
ment that Bryan will have a majority
OF the electoral votes Wherever the
fight is hot there the clubs are most
numerous. and there the clubs have
done their best work. AS q result of
many hundreds OF reports, it may be
stated that the following States are
safely in the Bryan column: New York.

with Connecticut New Jersey and Cal
