The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-09-04

The National Populist Com
mittee have nominated Adlai E.
Stevenson, the Democratic nom
inee, for Vice-President.
| Attorney Stevens, of Black
foot, was in Challis last week en-
route for Bonanza, where he is
interested in the new gold strike
near Bonanza.
Mr.. Watson, brother of Enos
Watson, of Challis, and Mr..
Mock and wife, also relatives,
arrived in Challis one day last
week from Missouri on visit.
Joseph Rodgers the big sheep
man of Custer county. did not
sell his wool when in Blackfoot.
He will wait for an advance in
price. He had it insured and
will probably hold until after
decentralization News.
The Republicans will use every
means possible in this state to
elect their legislative ticket,
even if they have to sacrifice 9th
er nominees. The silver forces
should watch this, for it means
a good deal this year. It means
either a goldbug or silver man
to represent US in the United
States senate.
If the republican newspapers
whose editors are throwing fits
over the "disfranchisment of the
negro" in North Carolina were to
devote their surplus energies
and funds to the education of the
unfortunate negro in that state
there would be no disfranchise-
ment to furnish a theme for their
howlings. The new constitution
approved at the recent election
! in North Carolina does not dis
franchise anybody who is able to
read, whether his color be black
or white.

A fine deer was seen in th,

down to the river unmolested
}. Four years more of Mckinley
n prosperity" and there is NJ
/ telling what kind of wild animals
a are liable to stroll leisurel,
r through our streets. The dee
d incident reminds US of what Sen
ator Shoup, the professed silve-
man said in 1898, when the Sher
= man law was repealed. TIL
4 "Grand Old Silver Senator o
I 1693," said in the United State
! Senate: Il may be pardoned fo

= the situation would be in many @
/ our mining districts if silver
y not protected, Our mills an
le smelters would be closed, and th
- machinery left to rust in decay
W towns and villages deserted, an
- these prosperous commpnitie
W would become the resort of viii

IS said. 1t has proven true in man
~ instances that we might mention

% Sheep Mountain country; Bal
le ner, Atlanta, Sawtooth, Nicholi;
"a and other places too numerous
IL mention, then vote for McKinle
Re and the gold standard. Republ
us u. cans in national, state and count
on affairs cannot this year say,
ue am as good a silver man as yo
~ are," for it don't go this yea
ar The issue is plain and cannot /

platform demands the free al
Is unlimited coinage of silver at Il

ey getting England's consent. No
on what does the Republican pla

TX the free and unlimited coinage

re These are the declarations al
