NAMPA MEETING.

The meeting held at Nampa by
Judge Standrod and P. M. Bruner
on the 25th was one of the most
successful political events which
has transpired in this campaign,
Of course there may have been
larger crowds at other meeting but
the proportion was larger accord
ing to the population THAI at any
former meeting. The two speak
ers were in excellent form and the
impression that was made by Judge
Standrod will no doubt result in
giving him many votes in that To-
cality which he could not reasona-
bly, expect. The same may be
said of the meeting at Payette. In
both cases there were large and en-
thusiastic crowds and any one could
see that if there were some who
were not Republicans when they
went there they were very much
disposed to be so when they came
away. As the campaign warns up
the enthusiasm of the meetings
seems to increase as we'll as does
the size of the meetings.
1t is not known whether the
Democrats are holding any meet
ings this fail or not. If they are
nobody has heard of them. They
probably think that Towne's and
Aliens efforts will carry them
through. 1t has been reported that
Doc Galloway is somewhere in Tho
field but of that we are not in a ;pO'
sition to say anything at present
The Republican meetings through
out the State are becoming better
attended and the speakers better
listened to than was the case wher
the campaign opened.

WILL BE SUSPECTED.

- That attack ON Gov. Roosevelt
at Victor, Colorado, the other day
was miserable piece business
throughout. 1t is not clear who
expects to profit by it and it seems
rather to have been an outburst OF
ill-humor than design ON the part
of the Democratic party; at least
Mr., Bryan says that the Democrat
ic party had nothing to do with it
and we are disposed to believe him.
But there is something strange
about this mob violence in political
times. We never hear Of the can
didates of the other parties being
attacked. Why that is we do not
know unless because the Republi.
can party is more welded to law
and order than any of the other
parties. Republican candidates
have been frequently mobbed and
there has always been a suspicion
that Democrats instigated it, which
gives room for the belief that if the
gamblers and toughs and saloon
men were all to die there would be
nothing left of the Democratic par
ty. However, that suspicion may
be unjust and we concede it to be
so. Every effort should be made
to prevent such outbreaks as that
which occurred at Victor, because
as no one knows who the instigat-
ors were the Democrats viii be
largely suspected.

inhabit the country. The war it.
self has now been reduced to mere
bands of guerillas who come down
from the mountains, make their at
tacks on peaceful people, and then
return. In many of the islands
peace prevails entirely and the avo-
cations of peaceful life are being
pursued. Already the advantage
of American government in q ma
terial way to the inhabitants is be
being shown, as for example. the
crops in most localities are largei
than were ever known before. Ev'
erything possible is being done &c

the condition of the natives.

REApIT.

If every voter in the United
States could read the report of the
Philippine Commission he would
certainly have occasion to adopt
Republican views with respect to
these islands. The report shows
clearly that while there are only a
few, in fact, civilized, capability is
shown by the most ignorant and
superstitious and in this very SUI
perstition the Filipinos differ from
the North American Indian. With
the Filipino it is mild and amiable
to a great extent, while with the
Indian it is cruel and warlike. One
feature brought out in the report
which is entitled to extraordinary
notice is the fact that great num-
bers of the Filipinos are now pre-
pared to accept American govern
ment and are anxious for it. All
they need is an assured safety from
marauding bands of ladrones that

DEMOCRATIC WAYS.

The Democrats have a peculiar
way of showing their affection for
convention pledges and it is q way
that should make every one doubt
their sincerity. For example, al
most since the day of the Pocatello
convention the Democrats have
been proclaiming that they did not
propose to be bound by the action
of that convention and when re-

TICKET AL RIGHT

That was an excellent ticket put
up by the Republican convention
at Nampa the other day. There IS
not man on it that any good citi-.
zen need hesitate to support. THE
TRIBUNE will not go into any de-
tailed biographical sketch of the
various candidates but content it.
self by declaring that it is pr epared
to give each its unqualified support.
Every part of the county is well
represented on the ticket except
possibly West Caldwell, but West
Caldwell has no resentment on that
subject. We feel that it will need
harmony and union to carry the
ticket through as the fusion patched
up by. the opposition will perhaps
deceive great many into thinking
they are voting their party princi-
pies, but we do not think the num-
Der win be sufficient to effect re-
suits. Itseems to us that all sensible
peoplet are getting tired Of this fusion
They must realize that they are be-
ing traded and snapped around like
a lot of cattle and they are now
supporting a ticket which cannot
be said to represent anything. In
the Populist platform of the fusion
we find this statement: "ResoIOed,
That the conditions now existing
make union of all the parties be
lieving in the Declaration of INDIE
pendence imperative" We pre-
sumo that that, declaration refers to
specific parts of the Declaration of
Independence; probably it has some
reference to that part which reads
ali men are born equal" but its
main reference is to that clause
which reads, "all governments de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed" Now if
these Pops really believe in that
declaration of the Declaration Of
Independence, what are they here
for? What right have they to be
here7 The land that they now &C.
cupy was. but few years ago own
ed by the native "savages.. 1t was
theirs by every, right, aud these
Pops came here, drove them out,
and have practically destroyed
them Thus bringing up the Dec
laration of Independence in the
light of such facts as these is al,
most too silly for Serious considera
ton. They are today governing &
people without their consent. They
are today in fact absolutely repudi-
ating the doctrine that all men. are
born with equal rights,
The Democrats in their platform
also take a shot at the Declaration
of Independence and we venture tc
say that not one of the signers Of
the platform ever read the Declar
alton of Independence through and
furthermore never listened to it be
ing read on the 4th of July without
being terribly bored by it. RICH
here in Caldwell in celebrating the
4th of July not many years ago we
heard men declare that it was toC
tiresome to listen to the Declaration
of Independence; and we repeat ou
statement above and would prove
it if it were capable of proof thai
not one-fourth of the signers of thu
two platforms ever read the Declar
alton of Independence.
