time OF the Democratic convention there,
Tor the purpose OF organizing state asso-
citation. He reports that local clubs are
organizing rapidly in all parts of the state.
One was organized st Grangerville only
few days ago with sixty members.
The Jeffersonian Democratic club of this
city is doing good work. Its members are
enthusiastic and its regular meetings inter-
esting. The aim of the club is to educate
its members and the public generally in
Democratic doctrines. At each regular
meeting Some important issue is discussed.
Thus the club becomes an active instru-
ment in disseminating Democratic princi-
pies.
LAW AND POLITICS.
Among the prominent lawyers now in
this city in attendance upon the federal
court is Judge Albert Hagan, of Cgur
d'Alene city. Judge Hagan is prominent
Democrat, though at present he is giving
no especial attention to politics. AS a clear
reasoner, an able expounder of law and
forcible advocate of any cause he may
espouse, it is safe to say that Judge Hagan
has few equals and no superiors il the en-
tire northwest. In constructing case he
digs deep and his fabric, resting upon the
eternal granite Of sound law and true priE-
! ciple, stands immovable. His arguments
| in all matters of mining law. IN which
Judge Hagan takes the first rank as
specialist, are listened to with interest by
I the bar of the state. He is fashioned after
the heavy, substantial mould of the old
lawyers, and hates shystering methods in
tensely. His practice is large and lucra
| tive, reaching far beyond the boundaries
of his own state. He could have almost
any Office in the gift of his party if he
would accept it, but his extensive law
| practice absorbs all his time and attention.
| The bill recently introduced in Congress
and passed by the House. arranging for
| terms of the federal court to be held in diff
ert parts of the state, seems to meet with
general favor. 1t provides that one term
shall be held at Blackfoot, one in Boise and
one in Moscow. 1t is thought that this
1 provision win be great saving to the gov
eminent in the matter of transporting
/ prisoners and officers, and will also be of
! benefit TO the town in which the courts are
held. Some very important cases will be
/ tried at the federal court now in session
! here at this term. An appeal is prepa e
in the Last Chance mining suit, and 1t will
go down to the appellate court in San
Francisco. In the Inez mining injunction
suit, which has been hanging fire Tor two
years, matters will be speedily brought TO
g crisis and the injunction be dissolved. No
important crimipal cases have as yet been
brought to the attention of the court
II is altogether probable that at the Re-
publican primaries. TO be held in this city
on the 10th, quite a local fight will develop.
The great mass of Republicans here have
submitted long enough to the dictation of a
few bosses in the ranks, and will insist on
having men nominated as delegates to the
county convention whose party loyalty is
unquestioned. The statement wired to the
Tribune of your city to the effect that De
Lamar would be delegate to the Mime
apolis convention, is absolutely without
foundation. Republicans are disguised
with his snobbery and affectation and will
have none of it, He has no following
even in his own county.
