On Tuesday morning the following

cd to meet them at Walla Walla These
members of the Idaho Legislature have
the best wishes of all the citizens of these
northern counties for their success in leg
islatiop for the benefit of the Territory
and especially these northern counties.
The Idaho Legislature will convene at
Boise City on Monday the Sth of Decem-
ber We trust they will become duly
organized in both branches without any
delay, and proceed to the legitimate bust
ness of their session. The northern mem.
bers are expected to do their duty in fol-
lowing up by q memorial to Congress
what has already been achieved in favor
of annexation of the northern counties TO
Washington. If We are to take the plat
forms of the two political parties of this
Territory in relation to the question of
annexation as a test of the sentiment of
the people of the Territory, the friends
of annexation have no reason to expect
opponents to a memorial for the measure
in the present Legislature.

The scclusicn Of the Sage Of Gramerc,
Invaded By friends--A Spry Pres,
idential Possibility.


WAsHIScToN, May l9.-Represen-
tative Cassidy of Nevada TODAY said
the visit Of the Pacific coast delegation
to Tilden, some weeks since, had given
rise to many erroneous IMPRESSIONS
throughout the country. This resulted.
he said, from the fact that all sorts Of
alleged interviews were publisbed
broadcast, which never took place at
al with any member OF the del
egation. Continuing, Cassidy said:
Inc visit to Gramercy Park was
purely social, and originated In this
way; Representative Spriggs of the
Utica district of New York. Is an old
and intimate friend of Gov. Tilden.
Judge Spriggs. being about to 20 TO
New YORK, invited me to accompany
him, and together to pay our respects
to the distinguished statesman. Later,
the party was enlarged to in.
ciude a portion of the dele
CATION from California. AS the
visit was purely social and wholly
non-political, a sense of propriety de.
manded that the delegation should re-
frain from rushing into print, but the
object OF the visit having been misin.
terpreted and widely misrepresented,
l feel 1t but simply just to disclose all
that took place. Gov. Tilden received
.he party with great cordiality, and
the Interview lasted nearly one hour.
While 1t Is true that one OF his arms Is
affected, his general health is remark.
ably good, not to say robust. The
governor threw back the heavy fold
ing doors In the presence of his visitert
and moved about with as much activity
as n man of forty. His mind is a.
strong and clear rs ever before in hi,
life, and as to his ability TO stan,
the fatigue and excitement of the cam
paign, j think his chances In that di
rection to be as good as those OF any
other man of equal age. The only
reference made To politics was when ,
member of the delegation, addressing
| Tilden, said: Governor, we ar,
all your friends; we are al
Tilden men, as are all Demo
Gratis on the Pacific coast. II
reply, the governor said: ~ IN
not II Tilden man, which was con
strued by some OF the visitors as
declaration that he would not be ,
candidate for the presidency. For m,
own part, | left Tilden in the firm
opinion, Judging from all the SUI
roundings, that he will gladly accep
the nomination if rendered him by tn
Chicago convention. / may he mis-
taken about it, but | certainly cam
away with that opinion.

EASTLAND.
A Strike of MasOns ana LabOrers Oh the
Court. HOuse-Back Pay
Demanded.

Special TO the Gazette.
EAsTLAND, May 10. - The court
house at Eastland has been progress
ing finely under the able management
of Mr.. Henry Wilson, who was APP
pointed manager when the contrac-
tors failed, until this morning when
II general strike took place.
There has been considerable dissatis-
faction among the men since the
county took hold of the building, on
account of the non-payment of the
time checks issued by the former con-
tractors. The men and merchants of
the town hold checks Issued
by the former contractors
to the amount of several thousand
dollars, on which they cannot realize
any money. The commissioners
called a meeting last week to decide
what disposition should be made of
those time-checks, and II. Nj. Black,
county Judge, refused to preside
over the meeting, for which
he is severely censured by
many people. Everything in town Is
quiet this evening, but trouble is anticl'
pated in the morning when some new
men will try to go to work. The
strikers say work shall not go OH until
back time is settled.
The strike this morning
was preclpitated by the discharge
of Mr.. Ferguson, who has been man
aging the masonry since the house
was Commenced. The men say they
will not work under new boss.
Three of the commissioners
are i'm favor OF paying
oil the entire indebtedness,
while two are in favor OF only paying
a certain per cent. of the amount due
| when the contractor failed.
