is loose, loose, loose!" The crowd
stampeded and the boys

stampeded and the boys
GOT AWAY WITH THE DOODLE.
This has been precisely the condition
Of the Republican and Democratic
Parties in Idaho. That portion of the
Democratic Party who have been
wheedled, fooled, cheated and deceived
have the balance of their lives in which
to repent. They feel their position
keenly. Two Democrats of the anti
Mormon stripe met in store in this
town one day this week and in your
correspondents presence. shook hands
upon the mutual promise that they
would never split another Democratic
ticket.
Your correspondent has suggestion
to make to the Republican Party Of
Idaho-one which may be of benefit
and will cost them nothing. When
they introduce the bill on Wednesday
of this week, which will require FIVE
years of apostacy from the Mormon
Church before the rights of citizenship
can be acquired, let them also provide
that the same provision bs extended to
members Of both political parties As
they had very large majority at the
late election, this provision will tend to
preserve it. There is nothing like look
ing out for the interests Of the party !;
those of tbs people are secondary.
When a hole is, made large enought for
the old cat to crowd through, the kit
tens will have no difficulty in following.
THAT GRAFTON.
Under the head of "a Brilliant
Grafton" the Wood River Times prints
the speech of Kurtz, of this county,
delivered on the occasion of the expuI-
sion of Kinport and Kinnersley. 1t
was certainly one of the most remark
able efforts made in modern times
within legislative halls. AS there was
no reporter preseat-to say nothing of
q shorthand reporter-it is very evident
that the manuscript was furnished to
the editor-that ithad been written and
committed to memory. This was
also evidenced by unmistakable
signs which any one at all
conyersant with the manuer of
those who do the like can tell IN q mo-
ment. The speech was expletive and
sophmoric from beginning TO end but
had the msrit of breVity. Reading it
over to-day we strain in vain to catch
one single idea. We give the foregoing
as our view others think differently
1t has been said by some who are op-
posed to the succession of Mr.. K in
Congress to Dubois. that he practiced
long and patiently before mirror ere
his effort fell upon astonished Idaho
Others consider the effort Ciceronian-
that il came and went like blazing
meteor glancing sthwart the sky in the
darkening midnight. They tell how
like the efforts of Webster and Hague
and Fox and Pitt and Burke, it will
find it's way into the books from whence
school boys select their declarations
and cause unbiGden tears to flow from
the optics of the rising generation OF
account of its patriotic utterances,
pathos. etc. They also declare that the
Congressional halls of this nation are
gaping wide for Mr.. kurtz; that the
proud bird of liberty will pine away
and die; Uncle Samuel clothe himself
in sackcIoth ard ashes, and disconsolate
Miss Columbia sorrowing melt away il
tears. unless the eloquent. harmonious
strains of the voice of this son oil
Hermes be heard within the sacred pre-
cinots of the national capital-there tt
Hush the noise and soothe to peace.
These admirers of 1.-The orator of the
nineteenth century" declare that Idaho
may
Exceed what Greece or Rome has done,
Or any land beneath the sun.
