CORRESPONDENCE.
Lemley District.

Correspondence or the Democrat.
 The farmers are laboring zealous- ly in their noble calling. u. Wheat looks splendidly; the prospect for an abundant wheat harvest has not had it's parallel since 1882. Lemley, Burris & O., put up 11S bales of cotton during the past winter. They are now doing q good business in the way of grinding. .. We have an excellent school conducted by a teacher formerly student of Rus sellyille. II think Pleasant Grove would be very suitable name for our new school house. II hear of Hon. N. W. Kuhn's announcement as a candidate for reelection to the office he so ably discharges the du- ties of at present, and justly de- serves in the future. The past has taught us to try to get and keep all such men as MT. Kuhn Tn office.

The daily interview with Mir. Til den has taken on new feature. On Monday, after again whispering to q Baltimore reporter his positive refu- sal of the proffered nomination, he boasted of his good health, struck out vigorously with both arms, showed how he could stamp with either foot, and, exclaiming, No paralysis therc," took the reporters arm and actually walked tue whole length of the library. This perform ance wears an exceedingly suspic ious look, in connection with the fact that he refuses to say anything about tbe tariff disturbance in Con gress while so many of his friends are systematically urging his nomi- nation. The popular faith in Mir. Tilden's ability to say 'sNo' to q nomination, is liable to be shaken if this sort of thing is kept rp much louger.-Post. Dispatch.
 This thing is actually becoming bewildering to the average mind. It would save an immense amount of breath, if Mir. Tilden, would die or say yes one of the two. While we have great admiration for the victor in the battle of 1876, still we are not one of those who believe that the salvation os the party depends upon the nomination of Mir. Tilden, nor in fact upon any particular man, save as he may embody and represent the faith of the party. The thing of prime importance to the Democratic party in the forthcoming campaign, IS to select a nominee whose views are the expression of party principle, and whose name is the synonym of purity, and then you can begin to consider the matters of minor i'm portance, such as the locality of men and the cognomen they wear.

MT. Throckmorton took the correc

Mir. Throckmort0n took the correct view Tn urging territorial govern ment for the five civilized Indian nations existing west of the Arkan
 sas border. To this, as The Gazette has sought to show when discussing the question, it must come at last. The Indians must in time ....s.r.ssse the duties of citizens. ana take the chances with their brethren of other csiors. Their territory must be thrown open to immigration and to progress.--Gazette.
 It falls in the line of sentimeEs and not in that of common sense and practical utility to take any other position in regard to opening the In dian territory to settlement and oc- cupation by any who may choose to seek their fortune in that delightful country-delightful, we mean as to climate and fertility of soil, and kept back Tn social advancement and nor a. attraction, only by the unfortun- ate lack of a sensible policy on the part of the government to place the Indian country under territorial con trol, and throw wide the doors of It will make no ad vancement itself, and stands in the way, or at least retards development of contiguous sections. We hope at an early day tc see the government lay aside sentiment, and take rigid hold of the practical end of things in regard to it's indian policy.

To the People OF Idaho:
With view to proving that Idaho is
indeed the "Gem Of the Mountains" an
effort is making to have such q mani

consideration Of our prodigious posi-
bilities. Colonel George L. Shoup,
Commissioner from Idaho to the New

ducts, rich discoveries and superior ad-
vantsges. There can be no better way
of promoting our industries, advertis-

play upon this and all kindred occa-

have been SO generously bestowed upon

FOR DELEGATE, JOHN HALEY

When The CALDWELL TRIBUNE OPP
posed Mr.. Singiser few months ago, il
did so because we saw dtfsat in the
event of his nomination. Hs has Sc
cured the paltry honor and will have q
chance in the next SIX weeks to spend
more of bis friends money; tier that,
the obscurity from whence he sprung.
This was the only republican journal
in idaho that opposed him before the
convention, and we believe it is the only
one that still opposes him. We do it
on principle. We believe he is not fit
man for the position in any way, shape
or manner. His two years. record is
not worthy Of reelection. His time
in congress has been misspent. Hehas
done nothing for Idaho. He is not
looked upon there as q proper man to
be delegate and with him the territory
falls into disrepute for sending such a
representative. The very men who
were loudest in crying for bis renomin-
alton at heart desire his d, feat to make
room for 'Maine man. two years
hence.

practicable, could the Convention do better than
to make Colonel ]. F. Mcclellan, of Jackson
county, their standard bearer during the coming
campaign Neither his democracy or his zeal
for party success is OF recent date. He Is the
son of distinguished member of Congress from
the State of Tennessee and has been a Demo-
crat all his life through evil as we'll as COED re-
port During the dark and gloomy days of re-
construction in Florida, when hope was almost
dead, his voice was heard in behalf of better
government, and though living in one of the
dark belt counties, with republican majority Of
seemingly hopeless proportions, that majority
has disappeared. and for this no one is entitled
to more credit than himself.
With the amount of patronage to be distribu-
ted by q Florida Governor, no one, no matter
how pure and patriotic, can fail to make enc
miles, for he cannot appoint all applicants to.office
This doubtless accounts to great degree for the
opposition TO Governor Bloxham and his admin
istration as far as 1t exists Colonel Mcclellan
has had no connection with that administration
and is therefore not responsible assailable for
Its sins whether real or imaginary. Let the Con-
