around good man for the nomination
for governor.
Mr.. Ballentine is not an office seek
er, and all the better for that, but he
is competent, he is honest, he is dig
nifed and he would fill the executive
office in manner that would com
mand the admiration and respect Of
all good and true men Of the state.
He is a success as a business man; he
has the confidence of all who know
him for honesty and integrity and he
is man of intelligence and well post
ed on all the great questions of the
day. The News believes Mr. Ballen.
tine can poll more than the numerical
strength of his own party-he has
many friends and few enemies even
in the other parties, and he is unques-
tionably the strongest man the Demo
cratic party can nominate for govern.
or. THE NEWS speaks for hosts Of
earnest Democrats who would rejoice
to know that he would accept the
nomination if rendered him, or to read
an announcement from him like this
Il am candidate for governor Of the
State of Idaho, subject to the action
of the Democratic nominating con
vention to be held at Boise City, 15tL
Of August next
| The nomination and election Of MI
Ballentine would mean an economical
and dignified administration Of the
state government-they would insur,
a reduction of state expenses at least
within the limits of its resources ant
they would correct the evil now exist
ing of having the constitution-th'
fundamental law of the state-over
ridden by the old territorial statutes
wherever and whenever they conflict
Mr.. Ballentine is man of the PEG
pie, he is a successful farmer anC
stock grower, unskilled in the arts anC
devices of the scheming politician
and designing office-seeker, but il
thoroughly posted on the issues of til,
day and of the needs and wants Of th,
state. Place him at the head Of th,
ticket and on a platform mainly o
live local issues such as are confront
ing us at home, and he will give u
campaign Of education for the oil
and the new voters and he viii
make us a leader whom the part,
will willingly and proudly follow, be
lieying that in following him he vii
lead to victory.

FOR GOVERNOR.
The News FaYurs an Expression Of Choice
From The People Through Delegates
To The State Convention.
HON. JAMES NJ. BALLENTINE,
The Strongest Man in the Party for the
Office. He can be Nominated IL
He Will Announce Himself.

THE machinery of the Democratic
party in the state has been put in mo-
ton. The central committee, on the
18th ultimo, touched the button and
the wheels began to whirl.
Owyhee county has been the first
to respond, and her delegates 10 the
state convention, August 18th, were
quickly named. Other counties will
follow with promptness and all oppo-
nents will be made to understand that
the Democratic party will be on hand
at the opening Of the campaign and
ready for action.
With the proper political sagacity,
earnest cooperation and well select
ed ticket it will have good show
ing to carry the state-to win vic
tory for the entire ticket. But to re-
peat the mistakes Of former years-to
depend upon recess candidates-to
wait for the convention and then hunt
men for the offices, defeat will be GER
tain, and it will be nothing less than
political cruelty and death to the
nominees who will be as good as de-
feated and politically dead before the
race begins.
The party cannot afford to fall INTO
the old grooves of former years; it
cannot afford to sit still and let the
offices hunt the men. That good old
way belongs to the past and to the
older states. In new, progressive
Idaho the party must make a new de
parture; its best men must respond
to the party's demands-they must
volunteer and not wait to be conscrlpt-
ed-to be drafted into service. If it
be a sacrifice to run for office let it
be patriotic sacrifice, for the good
of the party and Of the state.
The NEWS is anxious, for once at
least, that the rank and file Of the
party should be given an expression
through their delegates of their choice
for candidates to be placed on the
state ticket--that they be given an
opportunity, one time, to pass upon
the men wanted for office. To this
end, it is more than anxious to see a
number Of good, honest and cornpe-
tent men come to the front who have
moral courage enough to say:
Il am candidate for certain office
subject to the action of the Democrat
tc nominating convention" A defeat
in open convention is more honorable
than a recess nomination and defeat
at the polls
Owyhee county has named her del
egates in the old way, without know
ing Of single candidate for an office
ON the state ticket The News trusts
that it will not be 80 with ether coun-
ties; before other conventions are held
1t hopes 10 see the field well filed
with the party's best men seeking in
honorable, manly rivalry the places of
honor and trust which are to be offer
ed on the 18th Of August.
That the counties may have an OPP
portunity for the one time to give an
expression through their delegates Of
their choice of competent man to
head the ticket, and, as other mem
bers Of the Democratic press are
naming their choice, TnE News re.
spectfully suggests the name Of Hon.
James NJ. Ballentine, of Ada county
as z most worthy, competent and all

WILL Mako TIN PLATE
A NEW DEPARTURE AT THE RTNL-SrAND-
ARD MILL
Report that the Company Will Engage in the
Manufacture Of Tn Plais-0thsr In
dnstrial Matters

tits reported on excellent authority
that the Etna-Standard Iron and Steel
Company will In a short time engage in
the manufacture of tin plate. It is
know that the officials Of the company
have had the matter under coDsidera-
tion for some time, and it is understood
that they have about decided to build
an addition to their already extensive
plant, equip it with the most improved
machinery, and manufacture tin plate.
There is a desire GA the part of the
company for a diversiflcation in the
product Of It's mills, and it Is presumed
that the manufacture of tin-plate has
been determined upon in accordance
with this policy Of the company. The
REGISTERS Information, while not off,
cial, comes from a reliable source. 1t
is said the company has about COM
pleted the plans, and will shortly COM
mence work upon an addition 10 the
plant, with view to having a tin plate
factory In operation within sixty or
ninety DAYS. The Etua-Stsndard is
well equipped for the manufacture of
the sheets, and the dipping apparatus
could be put in at a comparatively
small outlay of money.

TENTH STREET TUNNEL
MEETING OF TIE PROJECTORS HELD LAST
NIGHT.
Surveys Now Being Made by Engineer Gil Brown.
Two Sites Suggssisd-AciOn Of
the Committee.

A number OF prominent business men
have taken up the project to construct
a tunnel through Wheelipghill, and
from the interest which is being mani
tested, it is not probable that they will
allow it to drop without an effort to
make it successful.
Last night the gentlemen who sub
scribed to the fund to defray the ex-
penses OF preliminary survey, held
meeting at No. 1885 Market street.
The matter was discussed In an lnlor-
NAL way, but no action was taken except
to appoint committee TO look after
the survey and estimates OF the
cost Engineer Gil Browne, who mas
charge OF the Terminal work here, has
been employed and has already COM
menced the work of making the survey
and estimates OF the cost. Two points
for the tunnel will be consldered-a at
Ninth street and at Tenth street. The
former is probably the more advisable
location, because of its being several
hundred feet shorter. A tunnel bored
through the hill at Ninth street would
come out on the east side Of the hill,
about fifty feet north of the Baker street
bridge over the creek. 1t is estimated
that either tunuel would not be shorter
than 1000 feet nor longer than 1000
feet.
The cost of the Improvement cannot
be estimated with any degree OF correct
ness, until the engineer has made his
report. 1t is understood that there are
a number of merchants who are willing
to subscribe literally to the necessary
fund for completing the work, since 1t
would bring them into more direct
communication with the people OF Full
ton, and the valley Of Wheeling creek.
Another consideration which IL is
supposed will commend the project to
the people Of the city, is the fact that
the work would furnish employment to
many men who are now idle, and
thereby in a measure relieve existing
distress among the poor OF the city. 1t
has been estimated that 500 men could
be given steady employment for several
months, working in crews OF fifty men
each at each end of the tunnel, and
working three shifts of eight hours
each.
When Eugene Browne presents his
estimates the Committee will probably
take some definite action in the matter.

RUNAWAY BOYS.
They Walk from Columbus to Wheeling
in Search of Work.

They walk from Columbus to wheeling
in Search of Work.
Three boys arrieved in Bridgeport
yesterday afternoon, who claimed to be
from Columbus. o., and gave their
names as Claude Plenkhart, Chas. Har-
ris and Clifford Hall. They were all
about fifteen years old, and were well
dressed aud seemed very intelligent,
and were bright looking, although their
clothes were muddy and showed that
they had been roughing it little.
They said they started from Column
bus two weeks ago with seventy-five
cent, with Wheeling as their goal,
where they expected to fine work
and make big money, but unfortunately
they could not get over t. front J yer
bridge aud stayed all night at Neon
naughy's livery stable, prefering that
to the city building. They came by
way Of the National pike, sleeping in
barns and any where they could. They
stayed Monday night in an old empty
house a few miles the other side OF st.
ClairsvIlle, in which thew built FIRE
and made themselves at home. One of
the boys, Charles Harris, exclaimed
while talking to reporter, "Say, do
these papers go to Columbus? Golly, l
wouldn't want my mother to get ahold
OF that and see how we been sleepin' in
barns and places"
He said he had mother and sister
in Columbus, his father beiDg dead.
The other boys parents live In Column
bus and no doubt are anxious about the
runaway boys. Clifford Hall. one Of the
boys. says be is related to AL. McComas
well known farmer, who resides five
miles out the Cadlz pike. He promised
to go out and see him this morning.
The boys are very anxious to get
"jobs" aud all very graphically de-
scribed what they could do. Claude
said he would prefer being at home in
Columbus but Charley says he wants to
get job here.

Points Picked Up About the City Last
Evening.
Twenty-six men are at work at the
works Of the Elm Grove Coal Company.
Fifteen more miners are TO go to work
this morning. There are thirty Of the
old miners staying out, saying they will
never go TO work at 81 cents ton, as
they claim they cannot make living
at it. Those at work generally claim
they have dependent families and have
TO work by reason Of this.
Tube workers are working steadily
since the reduction went into effect last
Monday. There is still some talk that
q meeting will be called to talk over
the advisability Of strike, but it is
thought such an outcome will not re-
suit. The workmen claim they realize
that if they began strike there would
be hundreds ready probably to fill their
places.
To-day the Smith Dithridge glass
works, at Kent, O., in which Messrs.
Aug. Rolf, Henry Bieberson, L. F.
Stifel, Charles Schmidt, Fred Huppy and
Mrs. Stamm are interested, will be

mouths. About fifty additional hands
will be given employment. There are
now at the mill about one hundred per-
sons given work.
