III. 0. Swift and R. Bledsoe, wer
elected delegates to the Democrat
county convention from HALEY
There were two tickets in the field
one for Yeates men and the other
solid Kinney ticket. The latter hat
no opposition to speak Of Kin
ney's nomination for sheriff is al
we'll as assured at this time.
The republicans of this precinc
will meet at half past seven O'Clock
this evening at Major Pinkham's
office for the purpose of nominal
ing a ticket of delegates to the
county convention to be held al
Bellevue on the 25th. The primary
election will occur next Tuesday
between the hours of 2 and s P. NJ
We know of no republican aspirant
for office in this precinct, and as a
consequence there will probably be
little enthusiasm in the election of
delegates.
THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
At the democratic primary cleo
ton held in ketchum last Saturday
two factions sprung up among the
voters, and the election excited a
great deal of life and interest. One
hundred and ten solid democratic
votes were polled, in spite of the
reduced apportionment of this dis
trict at the hands of the county
central committee. A strong oppo-
sition was made to the ticket nom
mated by the representative dem
ocrats as published in the KEYSTONE
last week. The original ticket was,
however, elected to man and the
delegates are: [. |. Lewis, Homer
Bounds, Patrick Mcmahon. w. NJ.
Harris and H. M. Stewart. Some
complaint was raised by democrats
not in attendance at the nominat-
ing caucus, but such complaints
were groundless as the meeting was
duly called, advertised in the KEY
STONE and held openly and pub
licly within access of all democrats
desiring to attend and offer an opin-
ion or suggest name for the ticket.
AS it is, no reasonable objection
can be raised against the ticket
elect, and Ketchum may depend
upon fair and impartial represen-
tation at the county convention
next Wednesday. The opposition
ticket, which was merely a matter
of personal satisfaction among the
voters concerned, would not have
materially altered the nature of the
Ketchum representation as regards
its support of candidates for office.
There are some people who do
not believe that the democrats will
prosecute the laws against the vices
Of Mormonism. Who has done
more than any other public officer
in Idaho to bring the Mormons to
Justice and to discourage their per-
nicious practices? We answer,
James H. Hawley. All true dem
ocrats as we'll as honest republicans
believe in a rigid enforcement of
;he laws created to eradicate the
vile institutions of that sect, and
believe in such government as will
conserve the ends of such laws.
The republicans have begun the
OF. campaign documents,
md the first is little batch of rot
IN the relative positions of Dubois
md Hawley on the mining indus
ny. Mr.. Hawley has never ex-
pressed the least opinion detrimen-
al to the mining industry, and will
doubtless do all in his power to
promote it should he be elected to
Congress. The circular attempts
o do him grave injustice. 1t is
! lie; rotten little piece of STRAIT
gy; comparison far fetched and
untrue.
Mountain Home held no demo
ratio primaries and will conse-
Luently send no delegation to the
here next Wednesday.
This is the only instance known at
his time of such a failure in any
f the precincts.
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Will be held in Metropolitan Hall
ext Wednesday and it is expected
t this time that the work to come
efore it will be dispatched in short
rider. With the exception Of two
r three Offices the convention will
pen pretty well prepared to formu-
ate its ticket.
