Chairman Irby Calls the State
Committee to Meet.
GTOS, ID. c., March 13.

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., March 13.
10 the members of the State Democratic
Executive Committees:
Pursuant to the call of the Democratic
National Executive Committee requiring
the sections Of delegates from each OF the
several States to assemble in Chicago on
July lth ncXtfo the purpose of nominating
candidates for president and vice president
OF the United States, the democratic State
executive committee is hereby requested to
meet in the city Of Columbia on Tuesday
the 7th day OF April, 1896, at the hour Of 8
o'clock p. m. for the purpose of taking the
necessary steps looking to the rcorganZa-
ton OF the democratic party and to the as
sembing of the State convention to elect
provided by article ~ of tho constitution
of the party.
Recognizing as we must the wido differ.
ences Of opinion as to the details of party
politics and party management, yet fully
alive to the present emergency upon the
democracy, we cannot but realize that tho
party's purpose and success can only be at
tanned by discipline and organization.
AS understood by us the political hope OF
the country is centered in the democratic
party. It's principles, which have been
handed down from Jefferson and Jackson
are absolutely necessary to maintain the
equal rights of all the States and to secure
tho wise and economical government of the
country. Whatever differences there may
be as to the application of the principles
for which the party stands, all must agree
CnaI only ny HaFHOuy, COnCcSSlol anu
loyalty to the party can its ends be accom-
plished.
The representatives of this State should,
therefore, go to the National Convention
with fixed determination to meet their
brother democrats in spirit Of amity and
with view to harmony. United and in
perfect accord we ought to be able to con-
tinue in control of the government. With
determination to produce harmony, wo
can gain much in tho direction of our do
sires as to the application Of democratic
principles. We can gain nothing, except
declaration Of our determination to dis
organize if we cannot have our particular
views carried out. However we may diff
fer as to details with our brother democrats
from other sections of the Union, we all
know that the democratic creed and a
control of the government arc
lar better for us than anything we may ex-
pect from our opponents.

| AS I have not seen any sugges
tions from any one from this coun
ty as to how we as voters are tt
pursue during the campaign JUS
aheud of us, I thought it might
be we'll to venture few thoughts
as to the best way for us people tc
pursue. Shall we go into the
Democrat party again to get what
we want. Is there any earthly
hope for that. party to ever got in
to power again. The general bo-
lief is no. Why not. Should any
party live any longer that has
made such q blunder as the Dom
ocratic party, has made, aftor
abusing the republican party for
years for partially demonotizing
silver and other vicious things and
Just as soon as they got III power
they done worse things than they
abused the Republicans of doing.
Shall we try to worse or encourage
such a party asthat. All sensible
people will answer no. Grover
Cleveland was suspicionod by
many Of our voters as being dan
gcrous man to our liberties. Was
thoy wrong, did not four hundred
and sixty-four in this county say
SO by their votes. Was not they
right. They voted their convic-
tion regardless of party namo in
my opinion; that is what we will
havo to do before we get tho rclicf
desired. Leaving out tho boot
Jacks, who is this that wants
sound money tho gold standard.
That wants silver no longer as re-
demption money, calling silver
Gfty-nine cents dollar it is in my
opinion that that class that wants
five conts cotton, fifty cents wheat,
uaimployed labor, stagnation in
business papers, dissatisfaction
and discontontmcnt. IIavn't we got
the gold standard already and the
balance too. Now if we enccd moe
money in circulation who knows
that better than we do. How are
wc to get it. Go and consult a
party that is dcnominatcd with
mon that wants cvory thing cheap
but their salary or thcir money.
There is whore wn made the mis-
take. Who is it that is controlling
the Democrat and Republican par
tics, are thoy not the mon that
forced tho exception clause on tho
grc6nhacks, the men that retired
tho grecnbacks and issued interest
bearing bonds, the mon who passed
the credit strengthening act, tho
men that demoralizcd silvcr, the
men who repealed the Sherman
Bland silver bill. tho mon who is
sued bonds IN time Of peace, the
mon who are trying to retire tho
remainder Of the peoples money.
Both the old parties arc guilty
of tho above laws. Can we trust
them any longer. Let us organize
and get together and say what We
want and lot our mon or party pass
that is>not above suspicion.
Now as to state politics VIC

Bryan's Plurality COnservatiyely Es-
tfmated at 40. 600.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 4.-From returns re-
ceived here during the day by State off,
Gals at the Capitol and various political
headquarters there is every indication that
the State has gone Democratic by a ma
jority that is conservatively estimated
at 10000. A telegram was received this
afternoon from State Chairman Blake an
nouncing that from reports furnished him
direct from county chairmen he believed
the majority for Culberson would be 5000
and for the Bryan and Sewall ticket some
thing like 10000. 1t is estimated at Demo-
cratic headquarters that the remainder of
the State Democratic ticket will run at
least 1000 ahead of Culberscn and it is
highly probable that Controller Finlay will
lead.
Returns from all the various congression-
al districts show that the following Demo-
cratic candidates are elected beyond a
doubt. First district, T. H. Bell: Second.

Ran Ahead OF Mckinley, but
the Latter Has $4,000.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 1.-THE remarka-
BILE run of Mayor Pingree, ELECT,
of Michigan, is perhaps the most interest
ing feature of the election results in this
State. In spite of what had been alleged
to be all kinds Of opposition. both within
and without his party. the Detroit Mayors
plurality will exceed all of the Mckinley
electors by Is, 900 to %, 900 votes. Even in
vicinities where the railroad employees cut
Pingree almost unitedly his majority keeps
pace with the rest of his ticket, while the
rural districts went heavily for him.
The Detroit Tribune free silver will to-
morrow announce that practically official
returns from sixty-seven of the ei~ghty-four
counties closely estimated. give Pingree q
plurality of $3.50. Mckinley, on the same
count, receives 81, 060. In the seventeen
counties referred TO the vote is showing
quite remarkable Republican gains.
The results on congressman are now es-
tablished facts. The Republicans elect ten
out of twelve. The exceptions are the Third
district, in which TodS Dem. Is elected by
400 to $40 plurality. and Eighth district. in
which Tucker. Dem, wins by about 800.
The Free Press State computations indi-
cate that Mckinley has 81, 55. plurality;
Pingree 60 1852 plurality.
Mayor Pingree says that he will con-
tinue in office as Mayor and as Governor

months hence, provided the people do not

farm. west OF Haughville. was carried to
DIR. T. NJ. Eisenbeiss's Office suffering with
a bad stab in the left breast. He was
taken from Emil Mantel's whisky house at
223 West Washington street. DR.. Eisen-
beiss dressed the wound and kept Kaney at
the office. fearing TO move hin lest the re-
suit might prove fatal. The wound was
directly over the apex Of the heart and the
blade OF the weapon which made 1t had
penetrated through the chest and to within
a very short distance of the heart itself.
The man said he had been in town get

the saloon and shouted for Mckinley, and

caused. someone stabbed him. The matter
was reported TO the police, and by them 1t
was very carefully concealed. though FOR
what reason cannot be made to appear.
Detective Kinney and a patrolman Wis
tied the wounded man and had a talk with

arrests, however. 1t is the opinion of the
detectives that a man by the name of

they will be able to arrest him.
AT an early hour this morning kaney's

HARD LIFE OF TURKISH GIRLS.
Their PIeasures Are Extremely Simple
and Limited to n Few Festivals.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The pleasures of Turkish girls are ex-
tremely simple and limited. Shut out from
the great world of entertainment which the
literature Of civilized countries opens up to
the European child directly she can read,
with the exception of festivities in the har-
In an occasional picnic, or accompanying
her elders on the visits which occupy so
much of a Turkish lady'S time. On house.
hold or religious feasts wealthy people
often organize entertainments on a very
elaborate scale.
Cvpsv dancers or a group of clowns with
the occasion, and the neighbors. rich and
moor. are invited to the performance. The
Turks being exceedingly hospitable, a
friend of the hostess is free to bring all her
sisters. and her cousins, and her aunts,
with their families on such occasions.
These are high days for the Turkish girl
for her elders. too-though an English child
of ten or twelve would think the entertain

dances are. at INES. rather graceful. and
the music, when one is used to il. Is not al

romantic. but truth comoels me TO state
that all Turkish girls ultimately become
bandy-legged; the fine. well-made women

mostly Circassians.
A few cakes and some rahat lakhoum or

the prematurely serious air that Turkish
children wear. The elder girls do not play
and run as do healthy children. They sit or
stroll about quietly and gravely, their
yashmak loosened and forming a snow

tage their complexion. as yet unspotted by
paint or powder. On the approach of a
man they will hastily draw over their
yashmaks. not so close. however, that the
