Tonight we had one of the grandest
displays ever witnessed in Idaho Ter
ritory--a procession OF all classes OF
Idaho's citizens in honor Of the victo-
ries of the late election. Every
movement was conducted in the most
style. The procession
consisted OF large body of men car
rying torchlights, with every availa-
BILE wagon and team to be found,
each wagon having mechanically
painted motto representing victory or
defeat. One wagon had full.sizcd
log cabin representing that OF the
Tippecanoe President Harrison of
old, followed by long line Of vehi.
cles bearing notices to suit the occa-
sion. The rear of the procession was
wound up by the Salt River fleet on
their voyage, passing through the
straits of disappointment into the
ocean OF sorrow. The grand stand
was erected on the corner of Main
and Seventh streets, illuminated with
several electric lights and adorned
gorgeously with American bunting,
whose stars and stripes yearned to
enlist the Gem of the Mountains in
the galaxy of States as a sister, on
the western slope of the Rocky
mountain range. 10 Huston was IN
troduced by jim Piuney, President Of
the occasion. Hon. 10. delivered an
Grafton of marked ability, in which he
told the whole people of Idaho of the
great, effective and important efforts
of Gov. f.. A. Stevenson during the
past session of Congress, when he
went to Washington city, and at the
throne Of the nation, in the halls OF
Congress, and in the Senate, the Cab
met, and in the Presidents chamber,
fought against the attempted mutila-
ton Of Idaho Territory--when Sena-
tor Stew art of Nevada, and his ring,
had fixed up their deal with the self
ish, grabbing annexationists of the
North, (which was and is spoonfed on
Washington Territory corruption
slop) in order to grab up the whole
Territory of Idaho and wipe out her
fair name from the liberty-loving in
dex of the United States of free
America. Boise county may well
feel proud that she furnished Idaho
with Governor in the person of K
A. Stevenson, who as a farmer and a
miner for the past twenty-five years
was by his experience educated tc
know the wants of Idaho and ldaho's
people. He proved to be tho right
Governor and in the right place
Hon. Fred L. Dubois was called or
aud hugely greeted. He ably stated
his position, what he has done and
what he hopes to do for Idaho, while
he is honored by Idaho people al
their preventative in Congress, Mr.
Dubois stated that he failed to fine
words to express his gratitude, as he
desired, to Gov. Stevenson for the in
auence and exertion he brought tt
bear with the President, Cabinet, Sen
ate and House of Representatives du
ring the session OF the past winter
and wound up by stating that all the
inhabitants of Idaho owe their frienC
Gov. Stevenson the debt of graft
tude. Hon. Robt. n. Baskin, of Sal
Lake City, was introduced. He yer,
ably and plainly told us ldahoans hi
experience as a public man and law
yer in Utah Territory for the pas
twenty years. His was a good ora
ton. Next on the stage of actor
was Mr.. Wilson, District Attorne,
elect OF Ada county. His snbjec
was to the point, and good. Mr.. u
p. b. Pride made an able, we'll deliv
cred speech on this occasion, follow
ed by Mr.. Hurts, member OF tn
House elect. He is, in the words o
10. Huston, the connecting link be
tween Nampa and Boise. For
sagebrush squatter he is a good one
