His Winning Personality.

Democratic papers that support
ed Bryan ars sensitive on the sub.
iect of re. organization Of the party
and inclined to dwell upon the
Splendid campaigning abilities
of their candidate who has just met
with second and more stunning
defeat. If they were to analyze
the real facts they would notice
that their favorite orator has talked
to poor advantage. The states he
carried, outside of Kentucky and
Missouri are those he did not visit.
Last spring he made tour OF the
Pacific coast, and the republican
majorities there have heavily in
creased. He went to Maryland
repeatedly and the democratic ma
jority of $4,000 last year changed
to republican majority Of $4,000
Mr.. Mryan gave particular atten
ton to Indiana. The republican
majority there is decidedly larger
than 1t was in 1896. Ohio nearly
doubled its republican lead after
Bryan had spoken several tunes
across the state. The most re-
markable change in Bryan's favor
was in Boston, where he did not
60 during the campaign. He spoke
in Missouri and his plurality
dropped 5000.

Official Paper of Nez Perez Count
The Heitield- Dubois Alliance.

In a published interview, in a
Butte aper, Senator Heitfeld again
expresses his preference for Dubois
as senatorial candid ,te. There
is nothing new in this position as
Senator Heitfeld's alliance with
Dubois is a we'll known feature in
present Idaho politics. 1t was
through the effoits of Senator
Heitfeld that the populist alliance
was made this year and while the
populists are not bound to the
pledge Of support for Dubois as are
democrats who expect to abide BY
the Pocatello agreement, still the
pressure of all their leaders will be
in that direction. The Heitfeld-
Dubois alliance is easily accounted
for as the senator will have to stand
for the reelection himself in
two years, ard Dubois, as S nator,
will be so firmly established as a
democratic leader by that time that
the alliance can be worked again
in the election of Heitield. This
is shrewd political move on the
part of Senator Heitfeld. He has
formed a close alliance with a
shrewd political leader who, with
his election this year to the United
States senate. will become a recog-
nized leader of the democratic
party in this state. Senator Heit-
field, with his populist contingent,
holds the balance Of power that will
make Dubois the head Of the dem
cratic party OF Idaho. Once en-
trenched in that position, with two
years control Of affairs, it will be
easy for the alliance to hold for the
reelection Of Senator Heitfe'd.
With the downfall OF populism
and the re.absorbtion of its Of it:
component parts into the old party
ranks Senator Heitfeld tails very
naturally to the democrats. He was
democrat by party utilization beior'
the populist party was formed. HI
has uniformly acted with tina
party In the senate. BY such sen
atorial patronage as has been il
power to dispense, he has Ell
trenched himself with Democrat
party leaders in Idaho. His al
lance with Dubois, the Democrat
leader and senator.elect, will in
sure his return in 1908 in case til
democratic amalgamation retain
its hold on the state Of Idaho an
secures another silver victory.

COTTON.

New York, Jan. 3.-The cotton market
orened weak and exc ted today with prices
three to seven points lower, this decline
being immediately followed by a further
drop of four to five points. after which
fluctuations were varied with the gen
eral tendency for time toward rec0v
cry. The news from the South was
tullish, hut cattle adviceS were emphati-
cally against the market. Though the
claim was made that closing UP of long
standing ''straddleS" in the English mar
ket was entirely responsible fer the seri-
Gus break there, the impression was
quite general here that an abundance of
selling orders had been sent over from
this side together with predictions for
a marked change in the price movement
and attitude of the South. Liverpool was
large buyer of the near months in the
forenoon. Aside from enormous Wall
street selling the outside public took
comparatively little interest in the days
operations.
At the close sentiment was very much
mixed. Prices gave way sharply an the
last few minutes under very heavy sell
ing pressure from Wall street.
The market was finally steady at a
net loss Of from seven to fourteen points

The terminus Of the Northern Pacific

is the exact site where the Nez Perez In
dams were driven across the river July
10, 1877. After chasing the hostiles all
| around Salmon river and Camas prairie,
they were finally engaged on the plateau
| between the forks of the Clearwater di-
rectly east of Sites. After two days'
lighting, during which General Howard
lost over so men, charge was made and
they stanpeded down steep canyon,
closely followed by the infantry, artillery,
scouts and volunteers. Crossing the
river at this point they made a stand on
ON bench overlooking the river, firing
at their pursuers from the bank and loop
holes they had cut in the fallen pine
trees, but such was the irresistible charge
OF our boys that they were given no time
to organize and left pell NELL for the hills
surrounding. leaving lots OF plumber.
