I was in all of the northern counfica during dur-ing tho campaign, and in a largo majority ma-jority of tho counties of southern Idaho. I found no feeling among the people that tho railroads were dominant, that they wore over-exacting or unreasonable. unreason-able. On tho contrary, especially in south Tdaho. 1. found tho most profound feeling of high appreciation at the spirit the corporations maintained in tho improvement work thoy were doiug, as to extension of their lines and improvement improve-ment of their servico and of their sta lions and grounds in the' towns. lart?e and small, within tbo slate.
