False Representation.

The county commissioners reduc-
ed the rate of taxation the minutes
NAL sum of 44 cents on the 800 OF
valuation and the fusionists are
parading this as great stroke Of
craftsmanship. 1t figures out, how
ever, that while the rate has been
reduced few cents, the aggregate
amount that the rate fixed will
raise is greater than last year.
And another thing the taxpayers
must not overlook-there was a
deficit last year of over $4,000 and
it is estimated that the di6cit viii
at the end of this year amount to
$31, 221.52, owing to the .extravag'
ance of the present Fusion admins
tration. The fusionists should
have raised the rate to make allow
ance for revenue to meet this de-
felt.
The rate of taxation as fixed is q
piece of petty politics, intended to
deceive the taxpayers. 1t will
came back on the fusionists as a
boomerang. When a political party
must resort to such tricky methods,
it is fair to assume that the whole
aggregation is rotten to the core.

THE Rathdrum Republican last
week contains a remarkable expos
ule OF the lax methods employed
bv the Fusion administration III
this county. 1t finds on an exam
inatiou Of the records that bills
aggregating thousands of dollars
have been allowed and paid out of
publ; funds, which bills nave been
neither signed nor sworn to. The
expense bills of the county com
missioners were allowed without
being SO much as lite mized, so the
enormous expense" bills of the
county commissioners are as much
a mystery as ever. There seems
to be a general unity of purpose OF
the fusion aggregation to fitch the
taxpayers for every dollar possible

We condemn the policy of
the present state administration
whereby it has sought to
deprive large number of honest
settlers in the northern part of
the state of lands taken up under
the homestead laws of the United
States, and which has further re-
suited in losing to the state thous-
ands of acres off>valuable timber
lands.
We condemn the policy of the
state administra ton in convert
ing the boards in control of the
various state institutions into parti-
san political machines indirectly,
and the republican party pledges
itself to place these institutions In
the hands of those who will con-
duct them solely for the purpose of
the public good and not in the in
terest of any political organization.
IDAHO VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS.
We remember with feelings OF
gratitude and pride the gallant and

the support of the republican party
in the recognition of their services.

County Platform.


The republicans of Kootenai
county, in convention assembled,
viewing with satisfaction and pride
the admirable manner in which the
republican administration has con-
Quoted the affairs of the nation
during the past three years, and
looking forward confidently to sue
cess in the approaching election,
make these declarations:
MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
We affirm the principles
enunciated in the national repub-
lican platform adopted at Phila-
delphia on June 20, 1900, and
firmly pledge our support to the
same. We unqualifedly endorse
the administration of President
William Mckinley and commend
the wise and patriotic manner in
which he has discharge evry duty
and preserved the principles dear 20
American people. We especially
endorse the prompt and patriotic
manner in which President Nc
Kinley has ordered the navy and
army Of the nation to proceed to
Chinese waters and to land the
marines and army on Chinese soil,
and directed the army to proceed
to Peking to relieve oar beleagured
representatives and American
citizens within the walls of that
CITY,
We enthusiastically endorse the
denomination of President William
Mckinley and the nomination for
vice president of Governor Theodore
Roosevelt, and firmly pledge our
earnest support to these standard
bearers.
SENATOR sHoUP ENDORSED.
We are justly proud of oar
worthy senator, Geo. l.. Shoup,
and feel that he deserves the CRATE
full esteem of the people of Idaho
for the able manner in which he
has guarded and advanced their
interests and promoted their well
fare. By his successful efforts in
the passage of the free home bill he
has saved to settlers of Kootenai
county over three-quarters of d
million dollars. In all matters
pertaining to national legislation
he has proven himself to be a wise
able and efficient senator and biz
public acts merit our highest com
mendation and approval. We fee
that the state of Idaho can moi
afford to dispense with his inhuenc,
and experience in the nations
senate.
COUNTY EXTRAVAGANCE.
With regrets and commiseratior
for the unfortunate taxpaN err w
condemn the incompetent and ex
travagant methods to which the SO
called reform and fusion admins
tration has treated the people o
Kootenai county during the pas
enc and one-half years. We con
slider that the amounts of salarie
paid to most of the county otfirer
are too high ana should be reduced
and that, as the current debt of tn
county has been considerably in
creased, the candidates on the re
publican ticket pledge themselve
to decrease that debt and to admin
lister the affairs CT the county in Al
economical and business lik
manner.

said: Such. In brief. are the events

AT the conclusion OF Mr. weilington's
address he was loudly applauded.
Mr. Bryan was promptly introduced and
the applause which had welcomed his frst
appearance wac repeated.
He began by referring to Senator Wei,
lingtons speech as notable occurrence,
He also rebuked the kissing Of tho aena-

been guilty OF this conduct had conducted
themselves in like manner when the

he was cheered and applauded and 1t soon
became evident that, Notwithstanding his
criticism OF some of the members OF the
audience, he had the respect, II not the

Mr.. Wellington could not come TO the
democratic party either for money or hon

Senator Wellington said In part; CAS-
the governmental policy of President Nc
Kinley was developed. l was compelled to
differ from 1t at several points, and gave
evidence OF my disagreement in the
speeches delivered by me during the past
three years upon the fiooor of the senate,

Philippine Islands, Porto Rico and South
African affairs. Upon the principles
therein advanced | stand today. gave

that II they became responsible for GER

against 1t for consistency.
II can not see my way clear to inyelgh
