The unprecedented detection of Dem.
oeratic newspapers which occurred i'm.
mediately after the Chicago conyen.
ton, which included substantially ey-
cry important Democratic journal east
OF the Mississippi river, and many of
the most influential southern Journals.
such, for instance, as the Courier Jour.
nal, Henry Watterson's paper; the New
Orleans Picayune. the Charleston News
and Courier and the Richmond Times
"a detection which left New York
City with only one Democratic daily,
the Journal, owned by Mr.. Hearst, of
California; carried away such staunch
and dyed in the wool journals as the
Baltimore Sun, veritable Democratic
land mark, the Baltimore News, an.
other; the Detroit Free Press and a
host of others "a detection that left the
great city of Chicago without single
daily Democratic paper, left st. Paul
and Minneapolis in the same fix and
finally included about six-seyenths of
all the German papers in the country is
remarkable enough in and of itself to
astound the senses. But every day ad-
ditions are being made to the list, UNI
til it now numbers no less than 500 pa
pers of all classes and including nearly
every one of the very ablest and most
influential journals. This is not, how
ever, the most remarkable thing sur
rounding that most extraordinary gath
ering. During the progress of the con-
vention 254 delegates refused to partic-
pate In the selection of candidates.
They made no open bolt as did the
great newspapers, but their action was
about equivalent thereto. Immediate
ly, nine-tenths of the Democrats of
long standing national reputation raj
lied to the support Of the disaffected
delegates and began to heap the most
villainOus abuse on the platform and
candidate Of the Chicago convention.
They equalled if they did not exceed in
vituperation anything that was said of
President Cleveland at Chicago.
This continued but few days when
measures were taken for the organiza-
ton Of another party. The movement
started In Chicago, the convention city.
1t has been progressing with wonder
full and enthusiastic rapidity. The
call for another party is being respond.
ed to from nearly every state in the
union. Thirty states had selected com
mittees up to Thursday to meet at In
dianapolis and arrange for the calling
of national convention. The conven-
ton will probably meet at the same
place on September 2, formulate a
Democratic platform and put candi-
dates in the field. Still the most re-
markable feature of this whole bust
ness is the enthusiastic support it APP
pears to be getting from every section
of the country and all classes. To what
extent the movement win jeopardize
Mr.. Bryan's chances may be problem
atical, but it is no doubt a most form
liable movement, and done in the
name of sound finance and pure De-
mocracy.

Mrs. A. E. Gipson and children re-
turned Monday night from Dry Buck,
where they had a delightful time.
Dry Buck is the most accessible and
picturesque point one can goto for an
outing whose time is limited.
Work on the Nampa- Owyhee rail
road has begun at Nampa, and for fear
the road might soon be completed to
the river and passengers, be compelled
to swim or sink, Col. Stearns has given
notice that at the next meeting of the
county com missioners he will apply
for ferry privileges.
The most astonishing bolt announced

yet is that of David A. Wells. 1t is
said that this most prominent free
trade advocate informed friend that
rather than support such ticket as
that nominated at Chicago he would
vote for the champion of protection,

Monday last Dustan Harper of Cald-
well, district manager of the New York
Life Insurance Co. received word that
the cash with which to pay the insur-
ance policy carried by Adam Robinson,
the man who committed suicide IN
Caldwell about two months ago, had
been received at Boise. 1t must be
gratifying to New York Life policy
holders to known that policies guaran-
teed to them as non contestaOle' are
such. and that in this case, as all others
the company are prompt in making
the payments they undertake.
