bartlett Sinclair, ESQ.,, left on
yesterdays train for Cleveland,
Ohio, to attend the Republican
League convention. Mr.. Sinclair
was elected a delegate, and he also
holds the proxy of Congressman
Edgar Wilson, who is president of
the state league and ex-officio chair
man of the Idaho delegation to the
Cleveland convention. This gives
our fellow townsman exceptional
advantages at the convention. Mr..
Sinclair is strong believer in the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, independent of all other
nations. He does not believe in
the republican PARTY taking any
middle ground. He desires to see
his party come ont with a square,
honest platform one way or the
other. The Cleveland convention
will most likely straddle the money
question, but this will not deter our
Bartlett, so he Declares, provided
he can "catch the chairman's eye"
just once, of telling the delegates
what the people who honestly be-
lieve in silver want. The HERALD
right here rises to exclaim, Good
bless him in his noble Grand"
Mr.. G. P. Hill was up from the
Ockonook last Monday evening to
invite Bonner's Ferry to join with

and arrangements were made for a
grand excursion from this place on
the Str. Hays. Capt. Lucas will
fix the Hays up in grand style for
the occasion. A roof will be put
over the barge and accommodations
