torney Lockwood OF the Oregon Short
Line for raJes-rates meant pssses-but
the attorney who was chosen as Mime
apolis delegate by the Republican ccnven-
ton has forgotten to answer, hence the
Alturas, and Logan, and Custer delegates
all sport round trip rates at a fare and one
fifth. 1t could be noted here theS during
the Republican convention May 5, at
Pocatello, seven Alturas county wire
pullers autographed to Oregon Short Line
Attorney Lockwood for rates and tele-
graphic passes were returned. But this
time Lockwood doesn't pay the freight.
L. Young of Bellevue is aspiring for
delegate to Chicago from Logan county,
and will have his delegation solid, with a
large support from almost every section of
the state because of his extensive &C
qusintance and popularity as an old wheel
horse in Idaho politics for twelve years
past.
The Custer delegation will support the
best opponents of silver, throwing aside
personal friendship for the great issue.
There is row on hand already for the
third party state convention that meets in
Boise City Thursday. It is supposed that
the silver clubs delegates will not be ad-
mitted solely on the grounds that they are
from silver clubs, but 1t will be demanded
that old party ties be first broken. This
will put dampor on some Of the silver
clubs, and who still vote and work with
both the Democratic and Republican
parties.
George Hunter Of Bradford, it is learned,
is about to jump the Republican traces and
be In Boa>e Thursday, but if he shows up
he will be met with strong opposition.
George was member of the Pocatello Re-
publican convention. This is the silver
plank at the Republican state convention
adopted at Pocatelle May 5:
The anti silver policy OF the government is
lowering the prices of all products, and wages
must eventually be involved in this disastrou:
decline, Notwithstanding the protective system
and believing as we do that the silver question
is paramount to all others affecting the state
OF nation, therefore
Resolved-That our delegates 10 the Mime
apolis convention are hereby instructed to con
fer and cooperate with the delegates from th'
other silver producing states and territories
and with the friends OF silver generally in orde
that they may be able to make strong, bolt
and united effort in favor OF the white metal
9-That such delegates are hereby instructed
10 use their utmost endeavors to secure a planl
in the Republican platform unequivocall.
pledging the party to the unlimited coinage O

passage Of such a law by congress.
These resolutions were brought out b.
Claggett, and Hunter moved to strike GU
I'll that part of the last paragraph fror
and after the word cor" Hunter wa
even hiRsed into his seat, and SO the stron
silver plank was adopted and the epolog
too. Hunter now proposes &c jump.
