IDAHO RIDE NDENr PARRY.

1t will be remembered that the Demo
cratic convention OF Idaho recently
held at Bellevue, expelled the delegate
from Besr Lake, CasNa, Bingham an,
Oueida counties. or at least such O
t.le delegates as were recognized as be-
longing to the ASsmOn Church. There
were eight Of ,krm three from BeaI
Lake, twJ froa< BIngham, two from
OGtida aud one f1om Cassis. The Bear
Lake delegates sGpon returning to sheiI
HOMES, called mass meeting at Paris
whrn they reported what had been
me, whereupon it was resolved to
farm an independent political party. "A
ca.Ffor county convention to meet,on
October 18th, was theTeupon issued, and
primaries were appointed for last Satur
dag evening. 1t was suggested also,
that the Stker counties named, take
similar action, and that a Territorial
convention OF independents be called
and q party regularly formed. 1t is
said in the Southern Idaho Independent,
witch will evidently BE the ezgancf the
sew party.
