Notes of Interest.
Bo:sE CITY, Idaho June G. Special Cor
-respondcnce OF THE HERALD. The mass
of the Democrats of Ada county have
washed their hands Of all aniliation with
statehood. At the election held on Mon
day last no Democrat offered his vote and
the Pride ticket was
ELECTED BY DEFAULT.
The Statesman of June tells its readers
that 1.-The delegations from the several
counties are very evenly divided between
the two parties The statement Is I'll un-
fair one Ii gives list Of counties ana
delegates and Classics them In such
classification it places men like 5. Z. Tay-
Tor, of Bingham, VINO has acted with the
Republicans for tac past SIX years as anti
Mormons, in the Democratic column. The
Republicans are extremely anxious to make
it appea" to the people that they have
treated their opponents fairly, which is not
the case. Upon the other hand. ii Demo
cratic counties Ike ShOshOnc, our friends
have acted with ibcraGty. 1t is shame
that some Of our old stJtlers-such men as
John Haley. Il. L. Johnson and Governor
Stcveu5On-hare been ignored When
the Republicans have consented to . Gem
ocrat seryll e in the cOnyentio ii looks as
though NC consent were only given III
cases where they had little fear Of the del
egates. In the Statesman returns they fail
to give Ada, with its straight Republican
delegation Of nine. and the facts relating

cations there viii present themselves. The
Republicans are
VERY MUCH DIVIDED
as to the advisability of putting TIE prin-

as crime embodied in the test oath in the
constitution. While class declare that
they VIII vote against the adoption Of the
constitution in case tde test Oath is Lot

to the wishes OF the Republicans. Il would
not only upset the whole statehood con
spiracy. but cause the members oi I'm con
Venton TO appear IL d most ridiculous
light d. b. p Pride i now having Lis own
way, for Fred 4. Dubois has not been here
since November and his NeuucnGutS arc
none of them his superOrS ii party man
agement. Had ne been III the city. com
promises would have been adjusted in this
and many o. the surrounding counties
where the contest has been extremely par
tisan. Dubois is very cautious and has
made many trades with the Democrats
which have always cOnduced to the benefit
of the Republicans, and the injury of our
friends. Judging the present and future
by the past, II is more than probable that
he would have gotten through with trade
as slick as grease mad he been here instead
Of In the north part OF the territory man
aTTa hon ha
has gained more than has been lost to the
caus by his absence Is
AN OPEN QUESTION.
Many of the party leaders among the Dem
ocraTs arc quite primitive in politics and
seem 10 think that the political fortunes Of
the Democracy will be accomplished by
making bargains with the enemy.
We are told that the Steele board Of
t.apyassers will count all tao votes for
warded from the different counties, make
them matters of record ana send the result
to Washington. 80 far as their legal right
TO do so is concerned, they might as well
record aud seLd on a last years almanac.
What is there to prevent the MOrmOns
from voting. despite the test oath. What
10 prevent any citizen Of the country,
even though he may have been resident
of the territory but day: What IS there
10 prevent the unnaturaiized man from
ers to reject votes!
In order to give ccldt to this convention
and make it very impressive upon the peo-
Me. a big celebration has been arranged
Tor the Fourth of July, when the com
,.,nics of United States troops VIII parade. I
