PRECINCT OFFICERS.

The calling of primaries to nom-
mate candidates for precinct officers
has stirred up a lively interest in
regard to candidates. The big fight
seems to be over the constable with
Henry L. Carlton against the field.
There are numerous candidates for
justice of the personalities
good, bad and Indifferent. While
these offices do not amount to
much in one way, yet in another
they are important, as the local
public is brought into daily contact
with them. 1t is therefore impor-
tant that honest, capable, deserving
men should be selected. The first
two qualifications none will ques-
tion-except the professional job
ber-and, thank God, their inhu-
ence in this locality is pretty well
busted. AS to the other qualifca-
tion-a deserving man-that should
not be overlooked either. There is
a little money in the office of con
stable in a large precinct like this.
The people should reward someone
who comes under the head of what
is commonly known as a good man
for the town. A man who has mon
ey invested here, who spends his
money here, who is a liberal, enter
prising citizen is more deserving of
recognition than man who squeez-
es two-bit piece till the eagle
screams, who shows no public en-
terprise, who is too close listed to
for a local newspaper
even. We have no particular can
didate whom we ask the democrats,
republicans or populists to name,
but if you can read between the
lines you can see who are worthy
of a nomination and who are not.

INTERESTING BIOGRAPHIES

Editor Scott, of the Ceur d. Alene
Press, pays his respect to the Ring
organs in the following literary
gem as well as cold gospel truth:
"The Rathdrum Post may abuse
us personally from now until cleo
ton day but it cannot read us out
of the party. Its editor is too. re-
cent convert to republicans prin-
ciples to be questioning the loyalty
of one who can boast of having vot-
ed the straight republican ticket
from the time he become a voter.
Such abuse, coming from a man
who would, while holding the po-
sition of postmaster, have been a
defaulter had not his friends loaned
him the money to make good the
dehciency-a man who defrauded
the government of So a day as de-
putty marshal without rendering
his services in return can do no one
injury. No such a man as that can
read us out of the party. We are

that ticket when Editor Mcdonald
was shouting himself hoarse for
Grover Cleveland and carrying ban
ners in democratic professions.
G. J. Armour, alias J J. Sargent,
one of the editors of the Harrison
paper also joins the Post in this at
tempt; yet it is but few weeks
since Mr.. Armour or Sergeant or
whatever his name may be, while
an employee of this office declared
himself no longer a democrat and
announced his allegiance to the pop
ulist party. He never was re-
publican and we can bring a dozen
residents of Ceur d. Alene to prove
it; yet he attempts to teach us what
constitutes loyal republican. We
are not given to personal journal
ism, yet if the Rathdrum and Har-
rison editors are an ious to have BIZ
ographical sketches of themselves
we can accommodate them
in good shape"

ONE 0. c. Smith was promised a
hearing in our columns this week
AS Smith has addressed us an open
letter in the Rathdrum sheet, we
will not crafty his desire for cheap
notoriety by rehashing his windy
article in these columns. If Smith
THINKS he can hodoo the public by
abusing Maj. Manning, and thereby
cover up his work at Boise, he is
off his base. We do not wonder
that Smith squirms when the anti
ring crowd is after him and the ring
repudiates him.

The republican central commit
tee held meeting this week to con-
slider matters pertaining to the cam
paign. The matter of putting up a
candidate for district Judge was
talked over and we understand that
Probate Judge A. X. White of this
county was rendered the position.
Whether Mr. White has accepted
the nomination or not we do not
know, but if he has horse sense
enough to qualify him for Judge
we should think he would not.
He should have too much pride to
parade himself around in the cast
off garments of another. Then
there is another thing Mr.. White
and some others may as we'll take
into consideration and that is that
the next judge of this district will
be the Hon. ] Holleman, the pres
ent incumbent. The electors of
this district irrespective of party
appear to have made up their minds
to that effect. They do not desire
a judge tossed at them to heal the
political sores inflicted by some
laundering politician.
