Agents for the "Teiler'
The Removal Of the Capital.


Some weeks since we noticed ali ar
ticle in the Blackfoot Register in re-
gard to contemplated removal Of the
capital of Idaho from Boise City TO
some point on the Utah Northern rail |
road and a suggestion to the northern
counties to unite in the attempt in
consideration for which the south east
ern counties favor the northern coun-
ties going to Washington to become
hart of the new state. We have
ever been supicious Of all kinds of bar
gains and sales, that are not open
handed and well known to the people
who are to be affected by such BAR
gains. We have ever placed the mat
ter Of our going to Washington on
principles of justice to the people OF
North Idaho and upon no other, and
VIC have ever demanded the change as
their right. Now with North Idaho
cut of, whot are the remaining rights
/. of the other portions of tho territory
in regard to their capital. Ii the east
ern counties are entitled to it, and can
make such showing, both in respect
to population and eligibility Of location
then eof the north certainly should not
oppose the removal, and we are quite
we'll assured that our people will not
oppose the measure, but the eastern
counties cannot expect us to acccde to
such removal, SO long as we are a
part Of Idaho with any prospect of re.
naming SO any length OF time. We
are advised by private letter from a
prominent gentlemen that if We will
consent or favor u removal that the
south eastern counties will concede t.
as the next delegateship, wi,icl, vii
'aake our chances for going to Wash
ington moro favorable. But so far q
the slate is now being made up on TIL
Democratic siie for delegate, tn
outlook is against nomination of
Dprthern man for that position, unles
d. L. Morris, Esq, be the man. w
are advised that Mr.. Fem has Will
drawn his claims in other words cor
coded that Mr.. Morris has adversel
to him secured tho delegates to tn
territorial convention and further tina
Ainslie has secured the delegate
from Oneida county, the largest {
eastern counties, and hence matter
