ra. world: Our busy little town has been
hveller than ever for the past few davs ow;n na
70 the presence Of the aspirants for IN. nals
entesn'p. The Hon. s. S. Fem aud lila Exc.i.
'."cy .ue GOVERNOR gave IA Il little talk last
night IN which each defined his position NJ
Tenn took the lead and in q plain and impress.
slve manner gave us his views on the different
duestions OF the day. He showed IN nla;nlv
tIas the lines between the different parties i,
Congress are still drawn and that 60 far from
tue inherent Issues being dead aud buried. ma
many OF the claptrap orators OF the dav with
tnelr usual persistency and effrontery are 90
iona OF asserting. the lines were never so dis.
tnct as at present. On the subject of the de.
veiopment OF the resources Of our vast and rich
Ie'ritory mr. Fem promised to do all that
couid possioiy Dc done to attain 80 desirable a |
consummation. On the Indian question and
the disposition to be made Of the ''noble red
man" Mr.. f. was really the ..old man clio
quent." he showed us that the policy Of the
government as represeted by the Indian Ring
was to have things managed 80 that the Indians
would ever be incubus to the body polite, and
consequent profit to the few on whom the
management Of the Indian deyolves. Mr.. Fem
who made many happy hits at the existing
state OF things. corruption in high Office &c
&c. was much applauded, and finishing his
speech gave place to Gov. Bennett, who, in q
very lively manner and very suggestive Of per-
fect confidence in himself first gave US plainly
to understand that as citizens Ot Idaho we had
not the slightest influence ia the management
Of the affairs of the nation, that q Delegate
from the Territories was mere eunuch-if
We knew what that meant. but by sending him
rs our Delegate IL Congress. he would have
things So fixed up that We of the frontier would
soon bc on par with our brethren of the East.
He promised us railroads. teegraphs, bedrock
fumes (does he know what that is y in fact
everything We could possibly wish for from
now To the day of Judgment (Which probably
meant the day OF elcction). In the course OF
his speech he charged Mr.. Fem with having
signed paper asking John Haley to run as
an Independent candidate. Mr.. Fem arose and
most vehcmen,ly and Indignantly denied the
assertion. and he was believed by all present.
The speech. take it all through. was more
amusing than instructive. 1t abounded in those
"gltt~ring generalitirs' for which the Gov is
so famous. He descanted largely on his inhu-
enc- nj Washington. leaving us somew hat
bothered II account for his being satisfied with
the ernuluments OF such poor office as the one
he holds affords What the people Of Idaho
want. and viii have is simply a man OF the
peeple-a man whose interests are identified
with this country in fact worker, no drone
in the hive of industry.
..Men my brothers men the workers, reaping
something new;
That which they have done but the earnest that they
shall do.
Such man is S. S. Fem. merchant. miner

In the field can We depend that the interests "f
our tair Territory will not be- neglected To
those who are to doubt upon which side to
vote. let them give retrospective application

At the conclusion If Mr.. Frnn's speech the
Hon. j. H. Hawie. was loudly called for and
III. meeting upnn county affairs Mr.. Hawley
drfn.d his position in regard tn official salaries
and -xcessiv. taxation in manner that would
admit of no misnterpretaiion. He declared
that he was in favor ot. and if elected, would
be an aciiv. advocate OF all measures tending
=, reduce salaries of county officers to the low
.s, fienres consistent with efficient services and
Of NIL bills tending to lessen the present high
rate Of taxation. He declared further that he
proposed If elected To represent the PEOPLE
of Boise County. Not the office holders; aud
ended by declaring that it was bis desire t.
meet upon the stump with the other Democrat
IT, candidates for the Council, the opposite can
didat.s for those positions and allow the people
of the county to Judge who were the real re
formers and which side had the greatest abili
ty to carry out the proposed measures of re
form.
After thus challenging. as it were, the oppo
sition to meet them in fair field. it behoove
the candidates to bestr themselves on ma!
hap, the laurels they have decided to wea
will perhaps adorn the brow OF Mr.. Hawle:
and his colleagues. and the opposite party will
