With strange perversity the

ridiculous by saying that the nomi-

senator by the democratic party lost
the Mormon counties to the demo.
cracy. Did this NOMINATION also
lose them to Bryan and silver? Did
it cause Utah to go for Mckinley
that four years ago gave Bryan a
majority of over fifty thousand?
Did it cause the Mormon vote of
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado
to be cast for Mckinley? The Ex-
aminer man should swallow his Po-
catello defeat and exercise philoso-
ply. If he cannot do that let him
soak his head. His sickly whines

How many counties did Dubois

tic or fusion column? Can you
point to any, Brother Flenner?
Then how about Fremont, Ban
mock, Oneida, Cassia, and the close
call we got IN Bear Lake? Haven't
they all been democratic counties

it, viz: attempted use of church IN
fuenoe by local church leaders, and
the nomination of Dubois for aena-
tor. The first was reinforced by
the second. thus making the task of
the democrats doubly hard in these
counties, especially after that issue
of the Capital containing Dubois
"Mormon record" was sent out.
The EXAMINER, being under no
obligations to any party, ignored
the Pocatello endorsement of Du-
bois, and used its utmost efforts to
elect the democratic ticket as demo-
Gratis. If it had held aloft the Po-
catello agreement as it's slogan, the
democrats in this county, too, would
have gone down to defeat, and eve
ryone knows it. The democrats
from this county are in no way
bound to support Dubois, though
they may do SO.
The advice Of soaking our head
doesn't enter into the discussion.
but We do think the party head
needs soaking" if it ever expects
to again win back these counties.
The Capital may think the party
can throw its strongest democratic
counties over its shoulders and still
have enough to win, but in this we
cannot acquiesee. In future cam

among the white people of that sec

Speaking Of this unwise policy of

vile Chief says:
"There are ten districts and eleven
enumerators, two having been as
signed for service in the town of
Donaldsonville. Six of the eleven
are negroes, and while most of
them are fairly well qualified for
an intelligent performance Of the
duties of census takers, the policy
of their appointment to such places
cannot be expected to command the
approval of the white people of the
community. The assignment of
colored enumerators to Donaldson
vile is particularly Objectionable,
and the bad character of one of the
appointees-"Bnddy" Sullivan, son
