OF the 900 delegates to the Chicago
convention, the latest estimates make
the number who will be straight out 16
to L free coinage, 500. The two thirds
rule being still in force viii probably
make the contest protracted one be-
fore a nomination is made. The friends
of Mr.. Cleveland have, however, in
formed him that sound money plat
form and an endorsement of his finan-
cial policy by the convention is an inn
possibility and the friends of the adj
ministration will have to be content in
uniting their energies to prevent reso-
lutions being passed condemning the
the President and his Secretary of the
Treasury.
The ST. Louis convention, it is con-
ceded, will nominate Mckinley on the
first ballot and it is also quite a certain
ty that the goldbugs, CT bankers and
moneyed men, will dictate the financial
plank of the platform, and that with
view of again fooling voters, it will be
an adroitly worded straddle, to be in
terpreted in favor OF bimetallism when
an international agreement in favor of
the free coinage of silver has been
made. sherman processes to be bi
metallist of this class.) The silver con-
vention, to be held in st. Louis, July
%, and the Populist convention, on the
same date, may hold a conference with
the Democrats and by some agreement
concentrate the efforts fall the friends
of free coinage in such a manner. as to
make the issue a square one on the fin
ancial question and there is but little
doubt if this be done and all other diff
ferences be deferred for a future con-
test, that the friends of silver viii win.
But it will be fight with all the money
of the bankers and interest gatherers
of England and America to contend
against, and the profound ignorance of
many thousands OF voters, east of the
Mississippi, regarding the silver ques-
ton, to help the enemy. At all events,
shout as loud as they may, as the Re
publicans will, for protection, that IS
sue will be relegated to the rear during
the coming campaign. Wall street and
Lombard street will open "bar'ls" this
year and the plutocrats will make
fight for the gold standard, to such an
extent as they have never opened their
purses before.

DeLamar is now an excellent town
for hobos to steer clear of. The strik-
ing miners are determined that no.
thing shall occur here which by any
force of reasoning can be construed
to mean that they have had hand in
disturbing the peace and they have
voluntarily placed a patrol on the town
to see that no outrages shall be perpe-
trated. The incident of the small fire
started Tuesday morning has had an
effect which any suspicious characters
found here would very soon feel if they
were found out of place. Hobos had
better keep away.

The Deed of Dastarde

The blowing up Of the Bunker Hill
flume with dynamite last Sunday night,
and the attempted burning Of the mill
did not cause as much surprise as it
would in a community where such ac
tions have not been tolerated for num-
Der Of years, as they have here. The
majority of the citizens of Wardner
openly denounced the perpetrators, as
every good citizen should, but there
were some who admitted in half whis-
per, that it was none of their busines,
The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1896-05-23

they had their living to make and could
not afford to make any enemies. A
man who cannot afford to make an en-
emy Of criminal so base as to attempt
the destruction Of property which
would throw nearly thousand people
out of employment and would financial
ly ruin many of them, surely cannot
have a very exalted opinion of himself
Such a person might picture to him
self his feelings should one attempt to
destroy his home in q similar manner
while his neighbors stood by and looked
upon the matter with Indifference, be-
cause it was none Of their businesss.
After all, public sentiment, as it de-
nounces or coEntenancas such outrages
has a great influence in their suppress
sion or perpetration.- Wardner News.

This is possibility condensed from
an article in the New York Mercury.
One-third and almost one half of the
States at present controlled by the Re-
pubicans in Congress are friendly to
silver. Should there be a bolt at st.
Louis and also bolt at Chicago, and a
third ticket be put in the field, it might
prevent an election by the people and
throw the election into the House of
Representatives. In that event each
State would be entitled to one vote,
and that one vote would be cast by the
majority of the states Representatives.
Now, suppose combination should be
made between the silver States con
trolled by Republicans and the silver
States controlled by Democrats in the
South, what then would be the result?
1t would be very close, with the chances
in favor of the silver combination

We again respectfully beg leave to
remind the Board of County Commis-
sioners that it would be a good move
upon their part to complete the new,
half finished road up to the Reynolds
creek summit. The mining companies
paying heavier taxes than any other in
dustries in the county, have thousands
of dollars of freight lying on the other
side of the summit because it cannot
be brought across the mirey stretch Of
road at the Democrats, and the new
grade is designed to escape the neces-
sity of passing over that stretch of road
Don't let this occur another spring.

In the fifty days between March 3lst
and May 21st there were forty-eight
days in which snow fell in DeLamar
and only one day during which it did
not either snow or rain. The roads
hereabouts have been almost impossible
on account of the mud. The oldest in
habitant never before saw such weather
here or the roads in such a condition
for so long a time. Yet from all ac-
connts, although the amount of rain
fall in the valleys have been unprece-
dented, the frosts following them have
not been severe enough to seriously in
iure the fruit crops.

The Republicans of Idaho made d
mistake in not making Senator ShOup
a delegate to the National convention.
No one doubts that he is just as anx-
ious for the restoration of silver as any
other man, no one doubts that he
acted with entire honesty in his vote
on the proposition to bring up the
Dingley bill, and hence he did not de-
serve the seeming Slight cast upon him
by the convention. But there is more
to the business. The silver men will
be in a minority in St Louis. They
will want their strongest men there.
No one will underestimate the influ-
ence which Senator Shoup could WELD
there. He has the sincere respect of
every member of Congress; he would
carry that respect with him to St.Louis.
1t was a mistake for the convention
to so throw off upon itself and Idaho.
The Salt Lake Tribune could not
have better expressed the sentiments
of the majority Of the Idaho republi-
cans than it has done in the above. We
are confident that the majority Of the
delegates sent to Pocatello, although
instructed to endorse the action of the
eHigh Five" {" for defeating the Dingley
tariff bill, went there with no instruc-
tions to carry the Dubois-Sweet resent
ment to the point of offering a slight
to Senator Shoup. In letting the Du-
bois-Sweet faction run the state
convention to such an extreme
they did not do as their constituents
wished. Now that their animosity
has prevailed so far, let them beware
of rebound that will hurt them.
Many who wished to endorse the
of the @High Five" in the course tn ey
pursued on the Dingley bill, did not
lose their respect and esteem for Sen
ator Shoup, because he did not carry
his loyalty to silver to the same ex-
treme. They are still willing to -aceede
that he was honest in differing with
them and none the less loyal to the in
terests of IDAHO

Plant not the seed of the thistle,

And look for a royal fruitage

The poppies bloom on the upland,
And the lily's breath is sweet,
But if you would gather harvest.
Plant early the golden wheat.
