BomE CRY, I. T., May 80, 1868.
EnroR STATESMAN Boise City, the capital
ofthe golden Territory Of Idaho, like the rest Of
the interior points in the surrounding country
presents rather dull appearance, and were i
not that the election OF territorial and county
ofseers is so close at hand, and the excitement
incident rheretO, this place would be what Is
called "horribly dull" The absorbing topic Of
,conE ersationis politics and the delegateshiP,
and the friends of each and every aspiraut for
congressional honors may be heard "tooting
their horns, as regards sO-and-so's claims to
the nomination at the territorial democratic con-
yention, that is to meet in this city on the 17th
of June next. Itis interesting TO looker-on to
see the amount of "Wire.pulling" and working
that is being done by the friends of the respec,
tive candidates for nomination. At the county
convention, held in this city to-day, for the purs
pose of nominating delegates to the general con>
vention, there was more interest and excitement
exhibited than ever beheld before, so warm
has the contest grown. But notwithstanding all
efforts TO the contrary, the delegates were in
''the unanimous choice of the convention" "
Among the candidates most prominent, are B.
D. Holbrook, the present delegate in Congress,
Dick Miller, John NJ. Cannady, and ]. K. Shaffer
the two former being the ones that the contest
will lay between, providing each party "hangs,
and no compromise man is brought ont. Hill
Beacby was sometime ago spoken of as an aspi.
rant, but have since learned that be has no
aspirations looking toward a seat in Congress
consequently his name 10 no longer used in tha,
connection. As the case stands, Dick Miller will
| 90 into the convention with the Owyhee delega-
| ton; Holbrook With Ada county, and Boise d.
vided, and the rest Of the vote will go "scatter
ing" The friends of all the parties are very
sauguine as to the final result, but it is my pri
vate opinion, publicly expressed, things are Very
doubtful, and be that gets the nomination, lei
him be whom be may, cannot truthfully say thai
be had q "dead thing" on the vote at the com
mencement of the fight.

The season has so far been very favorable, and
think that the rains that have fallen here du>

Business in all branches, with the exception,
probably, of merchandising, looks rather sickly,

much in that line before the latter part of sum.

A Caution.

Radicals OF Missouri. of Kansas and

psigu You will be in more danger from
treacbery than itop the open sntsgon-
ism OF svowed foes A deliberate az
tempt will be made to betrsy you into

tending to act with yoo. herslding their
devotion to Grant. and declaring that
they desire nothing more than . Rspub-
licsn victory. will labor secretly to IN.
dermiue the party. They will favor the
nomination Of candidates who. If elected
will serve their trescherous purpose. In
close Congressional districts. perhaps
third candidates will suddenly appear,
and splits will be encouraged. In thi.
State. especially. men will be proposed
as csnd dates for the Legislature who are
devoted to individuals and not to the
cause. and if they are not nominsted. ef.
forts will be made to split the Radical
vote or to elect Conservatives. This il
no causeless alarm. We give the warn
ing at this early day, 40 that Radicals il
every part Of the State may look out fol
the movement. and know Just what it
means; so that they may insist upon the
nomination Of faithful and tried men and
none others. and. II a split is proposed

that proves the Democratic party is hon
ct, is the fact that they are continually
appealing to the passions and prejudices
of certain classes Of men. instead Of sm.
bloying reason and argument. They
hsrpsd upon the Anti. Masonic move
ment until it lost its force-or, rather.
until . m,jority OF the leaders Of that
movement became prominent lights in
the Democratic party, and it would not
pay to cry Anti Masonry. But their
strong point is to work upon the preju-
dices of members Of certain churches.
The public might be led to suppose that
the Democratic party were strongly
avsrse to churches meddling in pol
itics, and that they were down on church
e generally. But there has never been
sn election that they did not attempt to
enlist some church organization against
their opponents. The Catholic church
has been rich game for them. They in.
vsrisbly discover that the opposing par.
ty Is hostile to the Catholic Church, and
thsy always get the support Of . m.jori.
~ of thst church. A few years ago. The
Republicans of Cincinnati nom minstsd
