ON PoCATELLUs CONVENTION
Ainslie, Rawley, Reid. Wilson, stearns, Stock
slayer, Tillinghast, HALEY and Young
-PoeatellO Notes

PoCATELLo, Ida, May 2S, 1892. Special
correspondence of THE HERALD. l-On
every hand are heard gratulations and
satisfaction over the result of the Demo
cratic convention. The general expression
Is that had the state been raked from top
TO bottom, six more representative men
could not have been found than those
whom the united wisdom of the convention
said should represent Idaho in Chicago
next month. Hawley Johnson, Burke,
Bennett, Reid and Bryan make up a
brilliant coterie of lawyers and miners
that any state would find it hard to excel.
Wednesdays convention will live long
in tho memory of Idahoans as the biggest
convocation of her leading Democrats that
ever came together; the interest, enthusi-
asm and sanguine hopefulness for the fu-
ture were specially evident, and even Re-
publicans gloou1ily admit that it is in the
air that the state is to go Democratic next
election.
L sent you few sketches and pictures Of
the prominent Democratic sons of Idaho.
Those old war horses, Governor Steven
son and Alexander Mayhem, got off for
home before l could capture them. Johnny
Burke did likewise, but you in Utah know
him too well to need his features pictured
or the ups and downs Of his life related.
a L. johnson was too modest and so was
Frank Beane to sit for the photographer.
Colonel Bryan was also busy at home at
tending to his mining interests. Mayor
Bennett was too much occupied looking
alter the entertainment of his guests but
L obtained some facts regarding the other
chieftains of the Observation-Disclosures.
Hawley, Wilson, Stockslager, Reid, Till

Thls man is peculiar head to be placed
IN political column, for he never asked
for an office-wouldn't know what to dc
with one if he had it, but he is always a
leader in the campaign work of his section.
Mr.. Young is no orator. but hs is a fair.
single handed talker. He has Just passed
the three ecore-year point, and has sound
conviction that he is liable to turn the next
sixty-year corner, which would make him
one hundred and twenty.
Mr.. Young came from southern Illinois
to Idaho, but was a '49-er to California and
Oregon, and navigated Snake river almost
throughout its course in Idaho in a boat
made of a wagon box covered with raw
hide He was accompanied by several
others in this perilous trip, and can recall
every important point along that wicked
streams course, as he saw them in
early tunes. He was in southern Oregon
for several years, but returned east, was
married and began business anew. He
was very successful, but fire and famine
almost ruined him financially, and in 80 he
again came west. This time to Wood
River, Logan county, Idaho, where he now
resides
Mr. Young was among the very first to
locate in Bellevue; has clung to his town
and now, as merchant is a lending bust
ness man of the county.
He has been chosen mayor Of the CITY of
Bellevue three times was at the head of
the fight for the organization OF Logan
county in 1889, and is among the first now
to defend it. He is interested in mining
properties in Logan county is terror for
free silver and insists that that is the onlv
point that will win for the Democrats.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-05-29

Mr.. Wilson is a Jolly, good -natured
democrat and even a Republican couldn't
afford to be "blue'' with Ben about. We
found 1t difficult TO obtain a good photo of
Mr.. Wilson, for he insisted that his lady
acqualntances had all the good ones
he didn't seem to have much to fell
about himself, only that he was ''staunch,
roaring Democrat from the ground up.n as
he said himself. But for so well known a
man it was not difficult to gather up his
record from old timers.
There was disagreement as to how old
or young he was. One man about sixty
said he knew Ben when they were boys
together. and another friend said Ben
would never die.
However, Ben was the junior partner in
a good sized mercan tile and mining firm be-
fore he was sixteen. One time, long ago,
Ben wrote to some one about his early
days, and this is how he said it:
Carried on, owned and worked at and
personally Superintendent all kinds ofimining
smelling excepted-some as large, if not
the largest on the coast. Made several im
portant and valuable improvements in min
ing machinery, methods, ETC.
"Awayoacker in California, personally
and intimately acquainted with most of the
old time prominent and leading men land
women, too) of the Pacific slope.
Went gracefully, andluckily through the
usual border Indian and other troubles aud
such like trihes, helped TO explore and
prospect Alaska, been as far south, same
business as most of 'em. Took a hand in
the so-called Mexican War of California, ,,
Tor the fun there was In it in the good old
days of-ever so many. Travelled extern
slvely in other parts of the world, fairly
well posted on their social, economic and
political relations, with some acquaintance
with their arts, sciences, antiquities, etc.
Dipped into th6 stream of most of the
'oligies issues, ETC., ETC.. pulled something
up not worth all the time, trouble, ETC.,
perhaps, bat got 'em.
Better stop here; guess there's too much
now, of the kind
Always was and cannot help but be, a
good sized Democrat. Have sounded all
the depths and shadows too, of nearly
every other party and am fully convinced
that the Democratic party by its principles
and methods present the sole hope of con
| servative and prosperous goverpment-the
only promis in sight for the poor man."
The HERALD said of him in 1890, after
Mr.. Wilson was or the state Democratic
ticket for governor:
He has acquired considerable wealth.
and engages in all enterprises that seem to
tend to the growth and development of the
country. Thus, when a street railroad was
proposed for Boise city, Mr. Wilson became
one of the chief stockholders He also took
an interest in lighting several towns in
Idaho with electricity. Ever since his ad-
vent into the country he has had that repu-
tation as very charitable man. No case
OF distress among the people comes to his
knowledge that he has not been ready and
willing TO open his purse for it's relief"
During the 1890 campaign he made many
friends, for he is splendid company, and
Ben Wilson will surely be on the ticket
again this fall.

james w. kelu oil Lewiston, Idaho. Is an
undoubted leader of Idaho Democracy.
Mr.. Reid is an attorney of much practice
IN the entire state, and has magnetism
that makes him one of the best remembered
men of the entire state when once heard or
met. Mr.. Reid was chosen by reclamation
as delegate from the Second Judicial
district at the Pccatello convention the
past week. He was a member of the state
constitutional convention, and two years
ago Tgs chairman of the Democratic state
convention held at Boise city. Mr.. Reid
is staunch silver man, is well known
among the eastern Democrats, and will be
heard from through the Chicago convep-
ton.
Colonel John E. Stearns of Nampa, prom
inently mentioned as the next chairman of
the Democratic state central committee is
son of the late Marcus c. Stearns of Chi
caco. He was born in that city Feb. Ia
1852 He had the advantage of a common
school education and was sent quite early
in life TO college at Andover Mass
Not wishing, however, to form seden-
tary habits, he attended college only q
short period.
When he was IL years of age he COM
menced his business life in his fathers Of

lures later in life
Early In the 10's, still a young man, he
was led, not by love of adventure, but by
an inherent spirit of enterprise, to the now
great state then territory of Colorado.
While here he engaged in various enter
prlses In which the possession of a stout

In 1888 Colonel Stearns returned TO his
native city to accept position as Inspector
IN the street department. A little later ne
was promoted to the position of permit
clerk, and still later IN the same year to the
position of superintendent of the sidewalk
department which position he filed az

In July, 1856. he came to Idaho and i'm
mediately identified himself with the Dem
cratic party of the territory, becoming a
little later a member of the Idaho county
central committee. In May 1890, he was
appointed by President Harrison as the
Democratic member of the national COM
mission TO represent Idaho at the Worlds
Colum bian exposition. In the campaign of
the same year he was chosen chairman of
the county nominating convention and
elected chairman Of the county executive
committee, and was given full control of
the details of the campaign. II was in this
campaign that his ability as party organ

of Ada county and the state of Idaho.

efforts that q Republican majority was

opened up fair under the auspices Of the
Relief society and Young Ladies' Improve
ment society. The exhibits were very good,
showing great talent, chiefly among the
ladies' work. The church or meeting house
was beautifully decorated with tissue
paper, evergreens, flowers, ETC., forming a
pleasing contrast with the specimens of
handiwork. The Juvenile Brass band took
part in the opening ceremonies, which was
supplemented By speeches and singing.
Lunches, ice cream, novelties, etc., were
offered for sale, and at the close on We'd
nesday night neat sum was realized to
reward the tireless committee. A social
party was the fitting climax to most
enjoyable season. Bishop Cannon is an
