The Statesman seems to be in an
unusually ratified condition about
the democratic committee having
transacted its business at its late
session at Boise with closed doors.
1t is really too bad; as it prevented
the Statesman from being the first
to publish the proceedings of the
committee. But this injury is not
irreparable so far as the reading
public is concerned. They have
already got the news and forgotten
all about it. The Statesman's little
ebulition Of temper over the matter.
however, discloses the fact that its
memory is failing. The republican
committee which met at Boise but
few weeks ago also met with closed
doors, excluding even republican
newspaper reporters, as we claim it
had a right to do, although we be-
lieve all public business should be
publicly transacted. We imagine
there is a difference between the
routine business of a committee
entrusted by its party to attend to
the preliminaries of an election
campaign and nominating con-
vention. In the case of the COM
mittee, there is practically nothing
to do but to carry out previous in
structions, and the presence of o
crowd could only Illustrate and de-
lay the transaction of the business ;
while convention is a body of men
called together to nominate men for
public Offices, a matter which should
never be prearranged, in which ev-
erybody is interested, which all are
entitled to witness, and from which
to exclude the public would be an
unwarranted and insulting assump-
ton of authority:

for tho 0overnorship.

Hon. John HALEY is being spoken
of for the democratic nomination
for governor. Having known Mr..
HALEY for more than an average
lifetime, we have no hesitancy in
saying that he is in all things one
of the best citizens of the state, so
far as personal integrity and private
character go; but still we think the
party has better material for gov
ernor than Mr.. HALEY, and we want
the best to be had at this time. A
score of gentlemen might be named
whose democracy is vouched for by
years of faithful adherence, who
could be nominated, and in ordinary
times would serve the state credita-
bly, and we'll; but we are now in an
exceptional period. The republican
party has had control of the state
organization since it was founded,
and by the incompetency, ignorance
and rascality of the men chosen by
them to administer the government,
have made the state byword and
a reproach. To redeem the state
from this diegrace is, or should be,
the task of the democratic party.
To convince the people of their
ability and determination to do this,
their most capable and accom-
plished statesman should be made
the standard bearer of the party
this coming fall. By adopting this
course the party will win, because it
will deserve to, but should it pur-
sue any other course success would
be doubtful, because it would then
have but little advantage over the
republicans, who are sure to NOM
mate, if not the same men, the same
class of men that now occupy the
state Offices. They must do so be-
cause repeated successes at the polls
have placed the party in the hands
of political sharpers who will con-
troll it in their personal interest.

r. G. MEssERLY and John Foster
of this place have invented and
completed a model of a new rotary
snowplow, which may be used in
opening wagon roads, and operated
by two horses, or made on larger
scale will be equally serviceable on
railroads. Some of the advantages
the machine is believed to possess
over the old rotaries are that less
power will be required to operate
it; the snow can be thrown
either to the right or left, at the OPP
ton of the operator, and the cost
will be less than that of the rotary
now in use. The model which we
saw has been experimental with and
worked with great smoothness, and
We are very hopeful that it will prove
a success. The entire rig as it is
designed to be used on wagon roads
will not weigh over 600 pounds, or
Just enough to hold it firmly to the
ground. On the whole it is an in
genious device, and We hope it will
convert its inventors into "bloated
bond holders soon, as they will
deserve all they can get cut Of it.

The Ketchum dramatic club gave
performance at the Alturas hotel
hall, HALEY, last Thursday night, at
which "Our Domestics" was repro
duced, and tho general verdict
seems to he that they scored good
success. The News Miner says the
ball was crowded to overaowing,"
and "the company gave a very
pleasant and creditable evenings
entertainment, and were frequently
applauded." The music by Cleur's
orchestra it is needless to say, was
excellent. A dance succeeded the
performance. The proceeds Of the
evening, over expenses, were about
to, which we understand the COM
pany will donate to the Ketchum
public school. All returned to
