be one OF the chief beneflciaries In the

The Democratic party has become
suddenly anti-expansion. and on this
point Is squareiy opposed to the whole
OF its early history. during which per-
Tod those magnificent additions were
made to our public domain. In short.
may say that Democracy today sus-
tains the same relation to the public
vehicle that the brake does TO the pri
vate one. ana In either case II becomes
intolerable when continuously applied.
But. Mr.. Chairman. I will say no
more against Democracy. which you
stil support. and within whose COM
pass. doubt not. you see as I once
saw. all that Is good In politics. In
permit me to say feel In du-
~ bound to give my support to the Re-
publican party. the only one of the
present that has the courage OF Its

OF the west as well as the east. and

years past, however, have not agreed
with the party on some OF the princi-
pal planks of its platform.
In the last campaign 1 was member

at liberty to do so while the candidates

me to remain within the party. In this

advise you that I am no longer a Dem
ocrat.
! see no good reason for the contin-
ued existence Of the party. It stands
hesitating and uncertain between the
two extremes Of sentiment which are
fast dividing the American people In
my view. 1t is only matter OF very
short time when 1t must change or
cease 10 exist. II stands for nothing at
issue today which is for the benefit of
the west. It's cardinal principle has
been the maintenance of the constitu-

It's convictions to maintain the consti-

with adverse public opinion. and has
failed repeatedly when brought to the
test.
When entrusted with power in 1893
II showed deplorable division and in

platform declaring for free silver and

at once and in great haste to drive the

z. 6siIsntyne Leaves the Democracy
Joining the Republicans.
The drift throughout the southeast
ern part Of the state from the Demo-
cratic and Popnlist parties into the
Republican ranks has been 80 great
az to cause much public comment
| The change in political affiIiatlon has
probably been larger In Fremont than
In any other county. though almost
the same conditions are found in all
the counties
Many people are growing tired Of
working with the party OF obstruction
and wish TO align themselves with the
party Of progress. which Is ready TO
act. and act intelligently on all pub
lie questions.
One among the many important ac-
cessions made to the Republican party
recently Is that OF H. Ballantyne. an
influential resident OF Fremont county
Mr.. Ballantyne has been a leader in
the Democratic ranks or southeastern
Idaho for years and his loss will be
kcenly felt.
In taking leave OF his old party as
sociates Mr.. Ballantyne takes occasion
10 write letter TO Chairman Pincock
OF the Democratic central committee OF
Fremont county. which gives so com
pete picture In a few words OF the
weakness. the vaclllating course and
unpatriotic attitude OF the Democratic
party and such cogent reasons for be-
coming Republican party that they
are well worth reading
The following is a copy Of Mr. Bal
lantyne's letter:

In the course of about six months and

Warden Arney is fired. The Gov
ernor Hunt administration has dis
owned him after he couldn't be covered
up any longer. Brother Harry will now
have to look elsewhere than to the
state for free harness. free tools. free
farm help. It Is instructive to note
that Governor Hunt made that motion
to whitewash him of all wrong intent,
hut fired him on general principles for
getting caught and stirring up a row
at an inopportune time. The governor
didn't dare risk standing too close to
his friend, so he gave him a dab with
a whitewash brush as a certificate OF
character, and--fired him.
