Will Meet at Lewiston

About the final act in the pro-
ceedings of the last democratic
state convention held in Boise was
the passage of resolution intro
duced by Hon. ]. w. Reid that
the next state convention should
be held at Lewiston, Nez Perez
county. The resolution passed
without dissenting voice. Mr..
Reid in advocacy of the resolution
said northern Idaho had never
been honored with the meeting of
democratic convention and it
was no more than fair that the
coming one should be held III that
portion of the state. He also paid
tribute to the we'll known whole
souled hospitality of Lewiston, and
said that her noble people would
be abundantly prepared to most sat
isfactorily entertain the delegates
and all who came with them. The
matter of fixing date and place of
the convention is wholly in the
hands of the state committee, and
whether in the deliberations Of that
body it will be guided by the rcso-
luton mentioned remains 20 be
seen.-Boise Democrat
