the Democratic convention did not ez
press itself. This gives the Demo
cratic candidate chance to waver
and express different views in differ
ent communities, an opportunity tina
lie has doubtless availed himself OF
But Mr.. Brown is decidedly in favor
of hard money and the people know
! it. We have in previous numbers o
the WORLD referred to the advantages
that accrue to us through our mining
interests by silver being legal ten
der, and it is not necessary to reiter
ate them in this connection. We on
" ask voters to think of the subject
in the light of Idaho being gold aud
silver yielding Territory. Hon S. S.
Fem made good representative OF
the people, but we think he would be
equaled by Mr.. Brown Mr.. Ainslie is
known in this county as one OF the
principal members of the ring, which
proves very clearly that, if elected, he
would work to his own interest and
not the interests of the Territory. The
convention made a sad mistake when
it nominated him.
The District Attorney also occupies
an important position in the affairs of
the various counties. To see that
law and order are maintained; that
criminals are honestly and fairly pros
ecuted, and yet that the criminal bust
ness is so conducted as to not involve
the counties in needless debt, depends
largely on this officer. On him de
ponds the duty Of giving legal advice
to the Boards of County Commission
ers in the various counties of his Dis
trict; hence he should be sound law
yer and a man OF Studious habits. |
Another portion of his duty is the col |
Getting Of delinquent taxes All can
readily see how much the financial ill.,
erests of the county depend upon the
prompt and efficient performance of
his duty. OF the two candidates,
Who are both we'll known in Boise
county, the people will have little diff
iculty in judging. Mr.. Kingsley has
oeen very closely identified with the
interests of Boise county for fifteen
ears, and has spent all his means in
he county in trying 10 build it mp.
nd will in all probability spend the
of his life here. We bnt
xprcsS the common sentiment Of the
eoplc when we say that the Repub ;
can party has placed by FAR tho ablest {
nd best man ia the field for this i'm. {
ortant office, and we have no hcsi- |

Just at this particular time. when c
10 Territory is entering on an era of Il
prosperity, unusual vigil o
nee should be used in selecting men II
represent us in the Legislature. An |
rent of the Utah and Oregon Rail a
ad Company is at Boise City. His is
lsiness is to call for aid in building p
e road. None but men who will y
present the true interests of their c
nstituents should be elected. By II
