The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-06-09


VIM. J. Treloar expects to de-
part for the Democratic State
Convention, at Pocatello, to-
morrow as a delegate. Custer
county Democracy was allowed
only one delegate to this conven-
ton. 1t is wonder that they
allowed us any. Well bet that
Mr.. Trealor will represent his
constituents.
Freight teams belonging to
Len. Peck, Chas. Wilkinson, o.
E. Penwell, VIM. Bradbury, Tom
Chivers and Henry Bradbury,
departed for Blackfoot last Tues
day morning after material for
the new school building at this
place. Contractor Wilson after
making a trip to Blackfoot found
that he could do better on lumb-
er at that place than elsewhere.
The Supreme Court of the
United States has handed down
decision in the Race Horse
case" the case of the Bannock
Indian of the Fort Hall reserva-
tion for killing game out of
season in Wyoming. This court
holds that Indians had no right
to kill game contrary to the laws
of Wyoming. This will also hold
good in Idaho, and the Indians
will have a short hunting season
this year and all other years

L. S. Keller, surgeon dentist,
of Pocatello, writes us: "On or
about June IL l will, In company
with my uncle, W. j. Scott, visit
your section of the State. While
making this trip largely for
pleasure, / will take with me all
instruments and material nee
essary for the satisfactory prac-
tice of everything in the line of
modern dentistry. Should you
or your friends need any profes-
sional work in this line 1 will
guarantee satisfaction and appre-
ciate your patronage. l trust in
the future to visit your county at
regular intervals. :"
Our Washington correspondent
states that the opinion is general
among politicians of all parties
in Washington, that the Chicago
convention will be controlled by
silver men as it is that Mckinley
will be nominated by the ST.
Louis convention. Up to within
the past week, many who believ-
ed that the silver men would con-
troll the Chicago convention did
not believe they would adopt a
radical platform or nominate a
radical silver ticket, but now
nearly everybody believes that
the platform will be straightfree
coinage at 16 to 1, and that the
head of the ticket will be pro-
nounced silver man.
Mr.. Taubeneck, chairman of
the Populist national committee,
says that letters have been rec
eived from 500 members of the
different state committees, and
out of this number 470 favored 6
union. That is the only way o1
gaining a victory over the gold
bugs. 1t is almost certain thai
the Republicans will nominate g
goldite at st. Louis for president
and will adopt either a straight
gold platform, or one that means
the same thing. The financia
question is the great issue, and
all silver men should unite ant
vote as unit for our cause. L
this is not done our fight will be
lost. There should be no half
way business this year.
