Democratic County Convention

|
Convention for the nomination {
county officers met at the cour
house at Haley on Monday las
called to order by the secretary {
the central committe, Mr.. NJ. Il
Jacobs.
Col. E. B. True was unanimousl
elected temporary president of tn
convention. On taking the chair
Col. True made a forcible and in
teresting address. He alluded to tn
harmony which for the first tim
prevails in the ranks of the democ
racy of Alturas. Meeting for tn
first time under a state government
they come together with full conf
dence that the work we shall do to
day will be wisely done, and that i
will be ratified by the people O
Idaho on the first of October by thu
election of all Of the nominees O
this convention. The president sale
that he was present at the State
Convention as a delegate from AL
turas county and that he had never
before witnessed such united, de-
termined will to carry out the pur.
poses of the people than was mani.
tested by that convention. There
will be a great republican effort
made to carry Alturas county at
this election, and possibly not alto
gether by fair or honest means
but it will be difficult to deliver the
goods according to the contract.
All differences that once existed are
now settled and ended, and we
stand with a united, determined
front. The old Mormon question
has passed away. The State Con-
stitution fixed that beyond any fur
Their dispute.
We have had an illustration of
the result of sending republicans
to represent US in the Legislature.
What little that is left of Alturas
is a sufficient showing of
their work. We need some demo
Gratis in the legislature to restore
the destruction wrought to Alturas
by the republicans at the last ses-
sion.
A letter of declination from Mr..
George Steward was then read, de-
Ginning the nomination of State
Senator on account Of business en-
gagements-and declination accept
