FROM MURRAY.
MuRRAY, |. T., Oct. %, 1883

EDIToT TELLER:
On the 25th inst. Hon. james II.
Hawley visited Murray and held out to a
large audience at Union hall. He was
met at Delta by mounted escort Of the
unterrificd and the Murray Silver Cornet
band, and the band gave him fine
reception in music. The boys do the
fine thing always at election time to all
parties. Mr.. Hawlcy was accompanied
by the village blacksmith Of Pocotello,
who pounded away at the tariff and
labor questions and national politics
generally. Mr.. Hawley, himself, treated
his opponent for the delegate honors,
very manly, but gave Mr.. Roberts Of
Dubois staff, severe overhaulug, as he
claimed that gentleman had misrepre-
scented him in the canvass. As to that
We know not. On the mining and lead
questions he defined his position to his
hearers and of other topics, Of 4 general
nature, to the citizens Of Idaho Territory.
On the Annexation issue he stood pat
on the territorial platform, but said be
would present any petitions sent to him,
if elected, and that is more than the
present delegate has done, unless they
suited his loyal Nib and iu the case Of
Latah county they did not the rcmou.
strances We means. The parade Of the
|unterri6ed iu the evening was good
turn out of Cleveland hats, a torch light
procession and hugh bon.6res were made
at numerous places on main street aud
the high flames went up and lighted the
darkness in spite Of the fierce rain that
prevailed, while the high mountain on
the north Of town, shook with the
laundering shots Of giant, as they echo
the joy Of the democrats at the sight of
their standard bearer. Tho hall was
tastefully decorated and 6oe display OF
flowers were on the speakers stand, aud
Mr.. Hawley certainly cannot help but
feel proud Of bis people at Murray.
The village blacksmith laborsd hard to
convince bis hearers Of the sterling
qualities Of the present administration.
But only barely the people Of North
Idaho have reminder Of veto Cleveland
aud his henchman, Gov. Stevenson, to
forcible to gain any applause from North
Idaho men, they do not take kindly to
that kind Of taffy even from the steutor-
ian lungs Of the village blacksmith from
Pocotello, still the speaker did some good
hits on the labor question, and wen.
through all the acts to convince them Of
the joy Of free trade and reduced prices,
when purchased, but did not say how to
get that dollar if wages were affected, as
We believe they surely will if the demo.
cratic party is successful in the near
national election. Mr.. Cater was fol-
lowed by Hon. John NJ. Burke, the
candidate for joint assemblyman, who
dealt largely on the tariff on lead and
done all he could to convince miners Of
their errors on this vital question to
them. Next followed DR.. Harvey, the
candidate for representatives. this county.
The doctor was brief in his remarks and
followed others 10 the same strain. Next
was Hon. Alex Mayhem, joint council.
man, he done his best in his usual happy
style and made his hearers laugh and
cheer heartily for his many new and
quaint anecdotes, Of which he is full to
overlooking, and does bis part cheerfully
and in the best Of quiet grace. Thus
ends tho grand shibbo!eth Of the demo.

from here via Blackfoot and eastern
