Emmons Blaine Dead.

The heart Of the whole country
will go out in sympathy TO Mr. Blaine
and family in the great affection
which has befallen then. His son,
Emmons Blaine, died after a short
illness Of blood poison following in
Illumination of the bowels, at his home
in Chicago, Saturday morning, June
18th, Ten days before the young man
was at Minneapolis in the interest Of
his fathers nomination, well, hearty
and in excellent spirits. He returned
to his home in the best Of health, ard
in few days was called to join
the great majority. Fate has placed
a heavy hand of sorrow upon the great
statesman's shoulders in his family
relations within the past few years,
and it may be that the accumulation
Of sorrows have done much to impair
his health and break down his spirits.
Surely, TO many, troubles come moi
sIngly.
The action OF the National Demo
cratic convention in adopting, unani
mously, resolutions of sympathy FOL
the great American statesman was in
excellent taste, and TIM News Il
/ proud that its party, in convention as
sembled, leaped over party lines TO g
TO the relief of distinguished fellow
citizen weighted down with grief ant
sorrow

TIE News regrets that the Idaho
delegation to Chicago was NOT in the
winning boat when the final race
came of. 1t regrets that the delega-
tion did not see its way clear to vote
for Mr.. Cleveland, the peoples choice
the man Of destiny and the man who
believes a public Office a public
trust. The voice of the people
was for Cleveland, and the people OF
Idaho who love Idaho owe him q
greater debt of gratitude than they
owe any other living man. To him
we are indebted for Idaho as she is
and not as her enemies wanted her
divided aud added in fragments to
other states. The delegation was OF
the ground and may give reasons fol
ITS vote we know not OF, but from oul
standpoint we believe it made mis-
take and showed bad politics.

Cleveland cannot be elected Accord

National Democratic Ticket.
-
FOR PRESIDENT,
Grover CleyelaDd-
FOR YICE-PRESIDENT,
Adlai =. Stevenson.

The Chicago convention is number
ed with the conventions of the past.
Its work has the heartiest endorse
ment of its party from Aroostook in
Maine to the Rio Grande of Texas;
from the rock-ribbed coast of the At
lantic to the golden sands of the Pa
cifc. The universal plaudit is: well
done. 1t placed the name of Grover
Cleveland at the head of the ticket
and said to the country: We give you
a man who believes a public Office is
a public trust, who had rather be
right than president, and who bought
defeat tor a second term BY his bold
message in behalf OF, the unprotected
against protected monopolies and cor
porations. It is true that some local
tiles preferred any man to Cleveland;
that is true Of the Republicans, but
he is the strongest man of the party
with the masses, and if we cannot
win with him we cannot win with any
other party leader.
Mr.. Cleveland is brave man and
thoroughly honest. He has the conf
dence OF the business men OF
the country and they look back with
pride and satisfaction to his admins
tration four years ago. The platform
upon which he stands and which
he will accept as his own is a
good one acceptable in every particu.
lar to the country at large. In 1888
pr. Cleyelands vote was 661 900 in
excess of his vote in 1884 which shows
his growing strength, and all indica-
tions of to-day point to him as a
stronger man, by far, than he was in
1883. The Democratic party, if it can
win at all, and it can, can win with
Cleveland and Stevenson.

THE Boise ratification Of Harrison

THE Boise ratification of Harrison's
nomination after all that was said and
done before the convention, looks
like mockery Of the serious and
solemn kind. We thought the boys
yelled for Blaine until they were as
dry as if they had been fighting the
captain Of brick yard, and we take it
now that the ratification is more for
Buncombe and the offices in sight IN
Washington than for enthusiasm at
home.

THE News deeply regrets that Gov.
Wiley will fall so far short of re
nomination. We have always
thought that his heart was in the
right place and that his desires were
for the best that could be done, but
Bingham county Republicans haven't
seen it that way. So kind were our
feelings that we suggested if His Elk,
cellency would marry a politician
like Mrs. John A. Logan or Mrs. Gov
Eagle and would settle the miners
troubles in the Coeur d. Alenes he could
and would be re-nominated as easy as
Lockwood was elected delegate Ia
Minneapolis. But he has done neither
The ladies have wasted their bouquets
the miners are still in trouble, and tbs
governor is far, very far from sec
ond term.

Enormous Damage In Many Provinces

Madrid, Feb. 24-The snow in Spain,
softened by the storms, Is rapidly melt
ing, with the result that the floods tn
the provinces of Granada, Malaga,
Almeria and Cordova are increasing. AL
ready enormous damage has been done
to all kinds of property, and 1t is feared
that unless the waters rapidly subside
the loss will be incalculable. The

Parts of Indunda and Huelin, suburbs
of the city of Malaga, are flooded.
All the country surrounding the town

NEW YORK KICKERs.

Tho Opponents or the Early Convention
In New York Expect to Have big Com
veutton In MRy-Opinlons From both
sides.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24-Nearly all the
members of the anti-early convention
committee returned last night and this
morning and were in cheerful mood.
They are confident that the proposed
state convention ut Syracuse on May 81
will be recognized as the real demo-
cratic convention and that its delegates
will be admitted to the national con-
vention.
Ex-Mayor Grace said: ~ knew be-
fore went to Albany there was wide
spread opposition to the snap methods
of the state committee, but I had no
idea OF its extent until / heard repre-
sentative democrats from all over the
state. am now convinced that our
state convention will be more truly
representative than the snap conven-
ton. The meeting at Union hall issued
call for n convention on the ground
that o party's power springs directly
from the people and it is pro-
posed to make an enrolment of the
democrats in the various towns
and counties and have them
ask for a state convention to
be held May 81. Then the primaries
for the election of delegates will be
held. In this way the convention will
be absolutely regular. It will spring
from the people and its strength will
be shown by the numb Der Of men who
join the enrolment 1t appears to us
that no national convention could pos
sibly refuse to admit men who are sent
there by democratic convention called
at the request Of democrats of the state
and showing the numerical strength
which our enrolment will develop"
An evening paper says: I'm private
conversation the Tammany men them
selves express doubt that Hill will be
nominated ut Chicago, and they no
longer deride the anti-snap convention
movement They admit that the May
convention will be great gathering
and that its determined attitude will
brighten the delegates to the national
convention The general sentiment
of the Tammany men seemed to
be embodied in this sentence:
While Hill is our choice 1 doubt
If he will be nominated. We are will
ing to win with Hill, but we are not
prepared to go down with him 1t
won't do to sneer Mt this movement
said Tammany official. That con-
vention at Syracuse will be big affair.
The kichers have plenty Of time to
make it such, and in fact they have al
ready exhibited great power. There is
every reason to believe that they will
get together a big crowd. The only
thing now is to p ace politics so as to
circumvent them and as far as possible
neutralizc the bad effect of their COLI
vention."

Said.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2&-Strong
complaints continue to be made OF the
action of the administrative authorities
in dealing with the famine. tits assert
ed that at several places the committees
charged with the distribution Of food
take advantage OF the utterly helpless
condition of the peasants to compel them
togive way in matters concerning which
they have formerly been in conflict
with the authorities With this object
the poor people are refused all help
until promise has been obtained from
them that they will pay in future the
money for the land purchased, in re-
gard to which they denied their liabil-
ity, and, deprived Of all resources the
peasants see no other course open to
them than to undertake to make these
payments In order to secure q share in
the corn and -four distributed by the
ralief committee.
