Republicans Approach the Eventful
Day With Great Confidence.

The campaign is rapidly draw
ing to a close. Almost before an
other issue of this paper reaches its
readers in remote parts of the coun-
ty the eventful day will be upon us.
We desire, therefore, to sum up the
situation as it appears to us. The
issues are made up AID so are the
voters minds for the most part.
Bocmerangs sprung in the last
hours of the campaign when there
is no opportunity for discussion
will have little effect. The efforts
of orators and organs will be now
centered on intensifying their
argument. Nothing can stem the
tide whichever way it has set.

County Campaign.

The situation in Kootenai coun-
ty is much similar to that in the
state. The Republicans have ma de
great gains in almost every precinct.
There are about 40 precincts in the
county and a change of 5 votes in
each precinct will defeat the fusion
maj ority of two years ago. That
there has been such change, and
much greater change, must be
evident to ali, There has been a
considerable increase of vote in the
county and this, too, like the IN
crease in the state, has been largely
in favor of the Republicans.
The Republicans Of Kootenai
have made brilliant campaign.
1t has been clean, dignifed and
aggressive. The Republican forces
have been splendidly organized and
there has not been week III the
campaign, since last August, but
that some speaker of county, state
or national prominence has been
expounding Republican doctrine
to the voters and Kidding the plat
form of the opposition. Another
factor that has helped the Repub-
licans has been the very excellent
ticket placed in the field. The
ticket is made up OF the very best
men in Kootenai county, and the
opposition, although its chairman
is conducting mud-slinging cam
paign, has not been able to say one
word derogatofy to the Republican
: nominees,

National Campaign.

The reelection of President Nc.
Kiuley seems to be practically as
sured The only danger to Repub-
lican success lies in overconfGeuce,
but Chairman Hanna, the astute
political general of the Republican
forces, seems to have folestalled
this danger early in the campaign.
Independent journals like the
New York Herald and the Chicago
Record which have had canvassers
in the field in all the doubtful states,
predict the reelection of President
Mckinley by large and certain
majority.
The betting, which of late years
has been a certain index of the
shrewoest opinion, is more in favor
of republican success than in 1896.
Brokers on Wall Street who make
business of placing election bets
in campaign years report that the
odds have risen from to / to 5 t.

1t may be set down as next tc

State Campaign.

There is wide difference in the
claims made by rhe two opposing
state committees in Idaho.
The fusion claims are most alb
surd. Any man knows that the
Republicans have made large gains
in every county, yet in the face of this
undisputed fact there are fusionist
and politicians who have the gall to
claim a larger majority of all ele-
ments over Republicans then two
years ago. Such Fusion claims
either indicate huge game of bluff
or total ignorance of the situation
or both.
The Republicans are thoroughly
organized in every county. They
organized almost two months ahead
of the .Fusionists who frittered
away much valuable time and en-
ergy trying to effect fusion. One Of
the first acts was to establish g
thorough polling system, and they
have actual facts and figures upor
which to base their claims, Will,

THEIR RESTING PLACE.
Plan to Have Unclaimed Prison Dead
Inferred Here.

Inferred Here.
The United States Government has made
an appropriation of $500 for the removal
of the prison dead from a cemetery in
Washington to the National Cemetery at
Arlington, and the Confederate Camp in
Washington has sent to all the Southern
States, stating that the people of the
South can lay claim to relatives and
friends whose bodies will be reintered IN
the Arlington Cemetery. As there has been
so much opposition shown by the Grand
Army Camp of Philadelphia, Ellis Post,
who framed the following resolutions (when
it was proposed by the Daughters of the
Confederacy in Philadelphia TO place in
loving memory a monument to mark our
dead buried there: 1.-The National Come
teries are sacred to the dead soldiers OF
the Army of the Republic; there at least
should be preserved. not only the memory
OF the soldiers who fought but OF the
cause for which he died. No flag should
be permitted to fly there except the flag
of the Union and no monument or in
scription permitted which are not in
honor to that flag and its defenders

Association. to request all information on
this subject. A committee has been asked
from Lee Camp. which, with q committee
from the Memorial Association. will confer
with the Confederate Camp in Washing
ton. which has so kindly offered to give
all assistance in their power.
Said a leader in the movements: "RiCh-
mond will gladly offer 4 resting place, not
only for her own soldiers, but for any
others that are unclaimed. Remember.
these bodies: or rather their dust are to be
removed and should we not bring them
