ercpsblish items from our exchanges,
bearing upon the issue df tho day ir
Idaho:
1--WE learn, through the kindness Of
a. +. Parker, Of Eagle City, that the
Republican Territorial Convention which
met at Boise City on the llth, renomi-
mated I. +. Singiser Delegate to Congress
on the first ballot by vote Of 20 to eight
which was afterwards made unanimous.
Mr.. Singiscr is very strong candidate.
He has given satisfaction to the people
Of this Territory since he has been in
Congress by his untiring efforts in their
behalf before the departments in Wash
ington; he is sound against that plague
spot in this and adjoining Territories
known US Mormonism, and we are salts
fled that il reelected he will do his ut
most for CGur Alcne. His friendship
for our part Of the Territory has already
been substantially proven, and in no way
more so than in getting land Office for
us which will be put in operation by the
lst Of January next. As the office Of
Delegate has really no particular political
bcs ring in Congress, his election will per-
haps not depend on strict party vote.
Mr.. Singiser's past record justifes his
candidature for second term, and the
signs of the times are strongly in favor
Of his reelection. n.-Murrayviite Sun.
A Wood River exchange says: Col.
Wall, true to the interests Of his constit-

lutions similar to those adopted by the
Democratic convention at Ketchum but
through overwhelming opposition was put
down and ruled out forthwith. John
HALEY will poll solid Mormon vote, but
We doubt il there can be found an honest
Democrat, Of Gentle persuasion, who will
cast his vote for the Delegate Of his party
who was placed in nomination under such
disgustingly dissraceful circumstances.
The HALEY Times has the following
editorial comment on that part Of Scott
Andcrsons letter which refers to Bishor
Bulge: "The blackguard, whose csnduc'

one of the twelve apostles Of the Mormon
church, and resides in Bear Lake county
Idaho. He was the organizer Of thu
Mormon gag law caucus which resulted
in the trampling under foot Of the anti
Mormon platform Of the Alturas Demo
Gratis, and the nomination Of John Haley,
the lifelong friend and adviser Of the
Mormons. Democrats of Idaho in gen.
eral, and of Alturas county in particular,
how do you like your Mormon boss? o!
there is no use in denying it; you have a
sweet master this time, and no mistake!
The following is from tho Boise Re-
publican. Two years ago in supporting
the nominee of the Mormon church,
"Jack" Ainslie--Honcst John Haley,
compared the Annexation question to the
Rebellion; and said that the man who
favored the annexation of the northern
counties, was as much traitor as those
who favored secession, for the putting
down of which it cost this Government
two millions of dollars, and one million
Of lives--only lapsus lingua, Uncle
John.
Honest John HALEY, the Mormon
Democratic candidate for Congress is now
at Lewiston telling the people there that
he always favored annexation and that
if elected will. do all in his power to bring
the matter about Honest John HALEY.

In the last issue of the Caldwell Iri.
bune, Cuddy gives as reason for sup
porting Bishop HALEY: "We do it on
principle" Just SO. Cuddy's principles
can be pretty well sized up from the fol
lowing written to ex-Register Pride, some
months since, relative to the publication
of final proof notices 81 am not here
for my health, and l obtained all the
glory ! coveted when was younger. I'm
after money. y l am enti-
tied to share Of the spoils." The reason
Cuddy does not support Singiser is, that
to support him he would get only "glory, "
but in supporting Bishop HALEY he gets
"spoils. This is what Cud. calls prin-
ciple.
In speaking Of the newspapers which
Haley in this canvass the Boise
Republican truthfully says: "When
vulgarity becomes wit, the Democracy
can be proud Of their organs
