REPUBLICAN SLATE.

BOlse lily, III Is ieaFhtu tilat the list Oh
candidates for nomination at Moscow
is about made up. The business Of
making these states at the Capital
City is not new one, and the makers
seem happy in pursuing their business
and not at all discouraged when the
slate is broken. This may happen at
the coming convention. A great deei I
depends upon Bingham and Shoshone /
or other large counties that will pre-.
serve an unbroken front. The Bu.sc
Republicans are the most demonstra-
tive personages in the world. They
assume TO be each an Ajax, hut there
il not an individual Of them who is
not AZ cowardly as coyotes when The
least earnest opposition is offered to
their plans, and crawl into their holes
and for safety will drag the holes in
after them. The bosses are in full ac-
cord with each other. 1t is their only
salvation. They stand in dread of
outside opposition as much rs would
woman confined in the room with
rat, and are the worst political COW
ards upon which the sun ever shone.
The slate for the Moscow convcn-
ton, made up by the government
officials. assisted by the Arid club Of
Boise, Is as follows: For Governor, w.
J. Mcconnell, the banker OF Moscow;
for Lieutenant Governor, Calvin Cobb

not be considered sufficiently avaiia-
BILE, Ada's iavorile son Edgar Wilson !;
for Secretary OF State, Major PinGham.
This is OF coarse on the merit OF his
official record so well known to the
people OF the State during his term If
Office. The Attorney Gen raj, Geo.
ii. Roberts, is one OF the daisies Of the
party growing in high grass. He is n
living illustration OF the "ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain"
among Republicans. He is modern
republicanism personified. Give us
Roberts, Messrs. Re uhlieans, but do
not deal him out in homeopathic
doses. The more Roberts We get the
more hilarious will be the Democratic

the hope that an American meat pro-

the carniverous natives. II would be
a step towards establishing reciprocity

nomination TO Wilson in case he does
not get Lieutenant Governor and il

With view probably Of catching
the Knights OF Labor vote, the name
OF Judge A. II. s.uaott, OF Gilmore, is
mentioned for State Auditor, but the
