Judging by what is appearing in the Independent press
of Idaho and this includes many newspapers heretofore

so-caed Republican, machine politics and consequent

ADVANCE in Freight RATES

The advance in freight rates proposed by the Eastern
railroads will increase in cost OF living OF Sis
per annu to each of the S0000000 inhabitants of the
United States asserts the Illinois Manufacturers ASSoca
According this remarkable statement the increased
rates will raise the present gross freight of the roads
east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio from appro-
ximatey 81 600 $1,000 to S1400000OO0 The proposal
of the railroad managers advance freight reported
to be the result of alleged falling off OF than 10 per
cent in the gross income of the railroads 1t admitted

and shipping interests making themselves heard IN IN
dignant protest which echoed by large section of the
press Thus the New York Evening Post finds something
almost ludicrous the argument that railroad freght
rates ought be increased because business bad and
believes enently fit for the plot OF Gilbert and Sul
opera IF railroad recoup its losses from trade
depression by advancing prices adds then any
other industry which fair play and honest competition
prevail The plea that railroads not further reduce
expenses as to escape loss and must therefore advance
merce is hardly acceptable" We read further:
1T may be admitted that the railroads are in some
respects in an exceptional position but there economic
PRINCIPLES that apply to them as well others In the
time of prosperous activity and advancing prices their
expenses increased largely The wages of labor raised
and the cost of materials and supplies advanced The
point was reached after while where the increase in ex
penses was out of proportion that in volume of business

THE DEMOCRATIC CONvEN.
TION.

The democrats of Graham County
held their county convention in
SolomonVille, Saturday last. 1t
was the most harmonious conven.
tion ever held by the democracy of
the county, and this fact alone will
make the coming campaign the
strongest ever held IN Graham
County. That the democrats of
the county are united and intend
to elect every candidate on their
ticket can be inferred by the large
attendance of delegates and tho
thorough manner of organization
in the selection Of ticket. With
the exception of the Offices of sup
ervisor and probate judge, all the
Offices were filed by acclamation.
The utmost good feeling prevailed
among the delegates, and the OBJ
ject of the conventioD-,o select
the best men for every office--was
fully carried out, and the result on
November Sd will be a clean sweep
for the democratic ticket

BRYAN MAKING FRIENDS EAST

Wiley Z Jones, erstwbile ci,i,
zen of Stafford, but now resident
of Globe, returned from u trip East
Septem Der 9th. Mr.. Jones, while
East, attended several big Bryan
meetings in New York City, and
says the people are enthusiastic far
Bryan Mr.. Jones tells Of his trip,
as follows;
"Quite a whirlwind was on 10
political matters while ! was in
the East, but things certainly
looked bright for Bryan and dem
ocratic success generally, l heard
Bryan speak four times in three
different states; first at the State
Fair at Olney, Illinois, then at
Providence, Rhode Islani and
twice it, New York City. His
speech at Carnegie Hall, N. Y ,
was a distinct success, both in the
issues discussed by him and the
enthusiasm manifested. He first
addressed 10000 people at the
overflow meeting outside aud en-
tered the hall at about S:45 p. M,
facing an audience therein Of about
5000 people On the stage were
about 500 people, among them be
ing old time democrats who have
never supported Bryan heretofor-.
Herman Ridder, the editor of the
Statts-Zeitung, the leading Ger
man newspaper of the United
States, presided at the meeting,
and made stirring speech. He has
always opposed Bryan heretofore.
The New York democracy are
united and putting up determined
fight for Bryan and strong State
ticket, while the republicans are
badly divided. In Connecticut,
there Is large bolt against the
republican State ticket, while the
democrats are united. The demo-
cratic State convention was held
at Hartford, Connecticut, while |
was there, and Ex Gov. Waller,
who has always opposed Bryan,
made an enthusiastic Bryan-demo
cratic speech, and in declining the
unanimous nomination for govern
or, named man who it is predict
cd will sweep the State.
In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
there is republican dissension
over the State tickets, while the
democrats are united, with strong
tickets in ibe field, The union
labor vote certainly seems to be
almost unanimously for Bryan.
One night last week, in ST LOUIS,
Mr.. Van Cleave, II Taft booster f
the stove trust, who is prosecuting
labor leader Gompers on a con
temp, Of court charge, made the
public boast with much vigor at
an open meeting that the republi.
can injunction plr'k WAS written
wholly by the en- mies of union
