Primary eleetlOn Will ~ Atiu III eucn IcCiucts
for the choice of Delegates to represent the
| Democracy Of Boise ID the County Convention
which Is to meet At CenterviIle on Wednesday,
June lOth, ana Al which Delegates to the Ter
ritorial Convention to meet at Boise City on
Wednesday, June 18th, to nominate a candi-
date for Delegate to Congress, are to be se-
lected, and candidates foralft the county Offices
and the Legislature ara to be nominated.
We desire to especially impress upon all
Democratic voters Of Boise county, the para
mount Importance Of the Primary election.
Too often. the Primaries are disregarded or
neglected by voters, who afterwards make
complaint Of the ticket nominated, and either
weaken it during the canvass by deprecatory
remarks, or openly secede from the party
ranks. and then join the opposition to defeat
the ticket. or who accomplish the same pur-
pose by means of what are called Independent
tickets, but which are nearly always nothing
but tickets made up of defeated aspirants be-
fore regular Conventions. disafected part
sans, or chronic soreheads, whose devotion and
adherence to any party Is In exact proportion
to the fayors or spolls dealt by that party to
themselves.
1t is at the Primary election the seed 10
planted from which the Convention bears le-
climate fruit. II good aud honorable party
men are chosen as Delegates at the Primary
election, the County Convention. being CON-
posed OF such men, will be sure to award NOM
nations only to those aspirants who come duly
qualified for the support of their party breth-
rem for the respective public Offices, and by
whose election the best interests of the com-
munity are subserved, the most honor is re-
hected on the party, and the cause Of Democ-
racy is strengthened and promoted. And. ON
the contrary, If corrupt, or unfit men are cho-
sen at the Primary election, it is almost absurd
TO hope for good results to fow from County
Convention composed of men of such character.
Therefore, il is really at the Primary cleo.
ton, rather than subsequently,, that every gen.
uine Democrat, who has the welfare. the hon.
or and the final triumph of his party at heart,
should exercise his utmost watchfulness aud
bis strongest efforts. to tho end that none but
the iittest and NEST honorab bic members of the
party be selected as the Delegates to sit in the
County Nominating Convention.
We sometimes hear Democrats, who are en-
gagged in traffic, who own landed estate. real
property, or who possess large stocks Of goods
rated as personal property, and who pay heavy
tax rates. make complaint Of the manner in
which this county became 50 heavily burdeued
with debt under previous county administra-
tons They ought to be cognizant of the fact
that the good or evil future management Of our
county affairs depends upon the voters, and
that they. themselves. bear a large proportion
of the responsibility which rests upon every
voter in these contingencies. just rs they arc
made largely to feel the effects of wise and
sound or an extrayagant and corrupt admiEis-
tration of the county business If these gen.
tlemen expect to have the affairs of the county
honestly and economically conducted. they
must put their shoulders to the right wheel at
the right time to have that good expectation
realized. They must attend at the Primary
election, vote themselves. and try Ia influence
the votes Of their friends and acquaintance to
the same end.-for the selection Of fit, hon. |
est. able, prudent Delegates to represent the
Democracy in the County Convention.
II our responsible. tax-paying, respectable |
traders, miners, mechan.
les, shopmen. laborers. all who join in desi,
for just and economical administration Of the |
county business,-if all Of these citizens who |
are entitled to vote ut the Primary election |
throughout this county on Wednesday, the Sd
day Of June ensuing, fail 10 go to the polls and
cast their votes for the very best men for Del. |
egates to the County Nominating Convention
which is called to meet on the next succeeding |
Wednesday, June 10th, at Centervile, -if they |
do not vote, we repeat again, for the best men
for Delegates to that Convention, they win |
themselves, and no one but themselves, be TO |
blame in case a good. sound, popular ticket
shall not be put forth from that Convention.
We cannot too strongly urge upon every DEM
0crdtic voter-no matter what his business, |
his avocation, his worldly circumstances, or
his position-the paramount Importance Of his
attention to the Primary election on the Sd of
June. s
