SPECIMENS FOR THE ExPosITIoN.-
NJ. j. Vessels, who has charge of our
! exhibit for the Exposition, urges that
those having specimens shall take
some action at once about delivering
them. He has made arrangements to
have them stored at the implement
store of Geo. Morrison. 1t is to the
advantage ofall to make the exhibit a
success and all should be willing to
contribute toward that end. Mr.. Wes-
sells Is working hard but it is impos-
sible for him to reach you each indi-
vidually. If you have anything that
will add to the exhibit, bring or ad-
dress 1t to the care of George Morrison,
Lewiston.
Hon. J. w. Reid, of Lewiston, North
Idaho. the gentleman who presided
with SO much dignity and ability over
the deliberations of the Democratic
State Convention, paid graceful COM
pliment to the press of Boise for report
ing SO thoroughly all the proceedings
of the convention. The press does more |
work for less pay during the conven-
tions and political campaigns than an
army of paid politicians could do, yet |
the newspapers that do the most work
and speak to an audience of several
thousand every day, are seldom men,
toned and much less thought of In po-
litical conventions. Yet these great
statesmen would never be known out
side of their village limits were 1t not
for the newspapers. Boise owes our
chivalrous friend, Reid, debt of graft |
tude for the part he took In fixing the
capital of the State at Boise for twenty
years, and the Statesman bows its &C
acknowledgements to the only orator, In
two conventions, who had the courage
to thank the press for the splendid re-
ports furnished.-Statesman.
