V Taking the Suns expressions as a sort of text, the Eagle opens up with the following short sermon: The Sun says no man ever refused a nomination for President by either of the two great parties. That is so. Men have refused to let their will- ingness to 'be nominated be inferred from' their silence, amid others efforts to nominate them. That is what Mr. Cleveland has just done, and that is all he could do. He did not he could not no man could veto the right, check the power or withstand the act of his party to nominate him without7 his consent or 'against his wish.

The Pocatello Tribune, the leading organ of the Republican party in the state of Idaho, has something to say on behalf of Perry that is interesting. Here it is: Perry S. Heath, one of the two men in Salt Lake who are foisting off on the people of Idaho miserable evening newspapers, labelling them morning editions, is in a hard way, according to the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. That Heath received and accepted his proportion of some of the steals that are now the scandal of the nation there is not the shadow of a doubt, according to that report. That he will be indicted, and, if guilty, convicted, Is the hope of every good citizen, regardless of politics. For ourselves, we would rather see a guilty Republican convicted than a guilty Democrat. There is more expected from a Republican and his example for good or evil is greater. Heath, if the late report states facts, is one of that class that makes anarchists, because he obtained emoluments and honors, through political preference, that neither his capacity or services entitled up, point Republicans that they had their own chance to Investigate Heath at the time of the Rathbone and Neely frauds. At that time Heath was fiercely denounced on the floor of the house, and the Republicans took no action. Perry S. Heath was a prominent newspaper ' man in Washington fifteen years ago. He was a speculator. His information netted him a comfortable Washington, Dec. 4.

C., under date of Dec. 4. It may be overdrawn, but still it throws much light on the Republican presidential nomination situation as between Presi dent Roosevelt and Senator Hanna and Perry Heaths position.
