IDAHO SOLDIERS HOME.

Wilson. lie will End that Mr..
Wilson writes that the entire Idaho
delegation was working together in
harmony against the extension. 1t
is tact that Senator Shoup led
the delegation to call on the secre-
tary and the commissioner to op-
pose the extens sion.
The speaker said the reason the
fusion orators had not been around
was because the democrats had no
"bar'l." 1t took a "bar'l," he said,
to send out as many speakers as
the Republicans had, but before he
got through he gave out the re-
freshing information that while
Republican speakers were cam
paigning in the North, Fusion
speakers were Grating in the South,
contradicting the "bar'l," theory, or
else indicating that his party had
"bar'l, For else that they have really
had no state speakers on the stump
Ill any part of the state, and we are
inclined to accept the latter theory,
because Callahan had stated that
the Fusionists had had no cam
palgners out because the fusion
business had been "mixed up" and
all well posted people know that he
admitted the truth that time. Its
mixed up yet"
The speaker closed by praising
many of the fusion candidates, but
it was noted that the name of the
fusion candidate for treasurer, Mr..
w. J. Mcclure, was not mentioned,
confirming a rumor that part of
the ticket is to be slaughtered in
the hope of making sure of others.
The speakers remarks on county
affairs are referred to elsewhere.
One of the richest things said in
the meeting was Callahan's state
ment that he never went back on
lis friends. 1t was almost as
funny as to see him double up like
jacknife and shout the name of
Mr.. Hoffman, one of those friends
to whom he used to express such
undying gatitude for legal advice.
We are glad the county attorney
matter has been sprung. We are
going to show in an early issue the
PARTY records on that subject. Mr..
Hoffman himself will probably dis
cuss the subject from the rostrum.
If the democratic candidate for at
torney ever uttered an un-Christain
oath in his life it was when he
heard how this attorney matter got
into politics.

A Fusion Meeting.

The Fusion forces opened their
campaign in Boomers Ferry last
Saturday evening The meeting
was presided over by Mr.. c O'Cal-
laghan in his usual graceful and
gentlemanly manner.
The fist speaker was ]. G. Gala
han who opened by apologizing for
making the "first democratic"
speech. Then he veered around
and declared himself silver repub-
lican, after which he proceeded to
make a pop speech-thus harmon
izing all the elements of fusion.
A sample of his tale of woe was that
poor mans opportunities were
desperate today as compared with
good old democratic times. This
was refreshing when it is recalled
that under the four years of democ-
racy poor mans opportunities
consisted of his ability to fight his
way up to the soup house.
Callahan complained that what
the farmers consume had gone way
up, and instanced the cost of
wagon. He forgot to mention that
the farmer had to sell four of his
steers under democratic rule to buy
a wagon, while now 4 steers will
buy the wagon and leave the farm
er balance of $50 in cash.
Although nine-tenths of the
silver republicans in the stste are
hack in the Republican party, John
said they would not be missed and
he and his partner intimated that
those republicans returning to the
party had been bought-a piece of
blackguardism resorted to only by
men of the calibre of the speakers.
John then took up county issues
and grew quite personal and
abusive. He made some charges
against republican exc fficials
which if true puts the fusi onists in
no favorable light. Had the charg-
es been true, it was the duty of the
Fusion officials to havs invoked
the law months ago. If their
charges were true some OF the ac-
cusei might hive run away like the
Fusion ST eriff, Pease. But it was
not the pesple's interests they cared
fort was campaign thunder,
proving that they want the offices
with their fat fusion salaries, re-
gardless of the public welfare.
j. Brady was the next speaker.
He opened up in harangue about
Forest Reserves, ard attem pied to
frighten someone, and to make a
point against Senator Shoup. He
was frank enough to admit that
democratic administrations have
created about az many forest re-
serves as republicans. The only
question then is as to the attitude
of our senators and representatives.
In this connection we will say that
if this speaker will call in at the
office of the gentleman who pre-
sided over the meeting he will find
the correspondence had by the
Citizens Committee of Ronners
Ferry with Congressman EDGAR

dorsed for president. Eighteen delegates
to the Sioux Falls convention were elected.
The results of the teachings of James
B. Weaver are manifested in the fore
going clipping. The Peoples party at
one time in Iowa had 5000 votes. Weav-
er went dancing around and shifting his
residence from one end OF the state to
the other to get into congress, praising
Democracy and preaching fusion until
the vote was reduced to 5000; and now,
as will be seen by the foregoing, the
most distinctive plank in the Peoples
party platform-the reconciliation of
silver-is completely dropped out of the
platform of the Populists of Iowa, while
a lot of subordinate issues, that may be
settled before the next election, are
showed to the front.
But even as to these there may be
some differences of opinion, and it would
be we'll, therefore. for Weaver to reduce
their platform still further to one plank:
I'VE want the Offices and are ready to
preach anything to get them" Id.

be noticed, was smaller than the Populist
vote. In 1896 the Democrats and Populists
were combined, and Bryan had not only q
plurality of SO. .428, but majority Of $4,000.
In the state election OF 1898 the Democratic
plurality was 33,003, and majority 1887,
There Is nothing in these figures justifyng
the Indifference of the Democratic manag-
ers to the Populist vote in this state 1t is
easy to guess why they feel secure. They
expect the denomination Of Bryan. and
think the POpulist vote will be given him
again as it was in 1896. But the fact is
clearly apparent in the election figures
quoted that the Populists of Missouri, If
they hold together, control a vote larger
than the Democratic plurality of either 1892
or 1898. The returns of 1892 greatly
alarmed the Democrats in this state, but
they have felt since 1896 that they per-
manently absorbed enough of the Populists
to serve their purpose.
In Nebraska. a state cornering on Mis-
souri,, the Populist party is in the ascend
ant, though their champion and favorite
SON calls himself Democrat At all
events, the Democrats are not ignored in
that state as the Populists have been in
Missouri. Missouri Democrats fancy they
are strong enough to go on without the
slightest recognition of the existence OF
a Populist organization. The convention
OF this week at Kansas City will open their
eyes. There is a Populst party in Mis-
souri,. and 1t has moved out Of the cold
Democratic shade in which it was sup
posed to have wilted. 1t is thousand to
one that the Populist choice for governor
is better man than Stephens, aad that
they could not under any circumstances
name a legislature as utterly bad as the
one that cursed Missouri last spring. II
the Democrats of the state conceive that
the Populist nominations are dangerous,
they will open fresh negotiations for an
alliance. Otherwise. they will proceed as
il the Populists of Missouri are a dead
party, a negligible quantity.
That tells the whole story Wherever
the Democrats think they are safe with
out the Populists they kick them; wher-
ever they are not they coquet with them.
The POpulists of Missouri have got
through with fusion, and they will poll
an immense vote this fall. I'D.
