Certainly we ought to attend
to opening a route to Silver
creek. 1t is much nearer to us
than to Salmon, and we ought to
have the bulk of that trade. Let
us act in this matter at once.

III. Richards, Jas. H Hawley,
VIM. Payne and Jess Hawley
have been rusticating in Seafoam

The Denver News informs us
that there is to be meeting, in
convention, of the Silver Demo
Gratis (which includes all that or
ganization, who are not traitors
: to the time honored rules of the
!, sacred old party; ;of the Populists
3 and the Silver Republicans for
7 the purpose Of harlnonizing all
! elements who hold that the de-
! !, monetization of silver has been
. the primeval cause of the dull
: times in our nation. This meet
: ing, to be held at Lincoln, Neb.,
Sept. 1. We are glad this action
is to be taken, and would be
pleased to be there, if other en-
: gagements did not, imperitively
!, demand our presence in another
! direction. We trust this will
:. prove a step in the way of need
ed reform. 1t is to be hoped that
= all of said parties will come to-
> gether in unison, at least upon
J that point, although they may
!. not agree to all measures endors-
e : ed by the Populists. But to do
7 this each party must come as
= counselors and not as dictators.
T There must be forebearance and
!, honest consideration and wisdom
/. in all its acts; and if any element
= says, we must have all our other
notions or our friend or friends
endorsed, that element were bet
= ter rejected. There is no certain
E infalibility in any class of princi-
!. pies, that must be carried out all
: at once-nor any man that, nec-
:. eSSarily, must be made most
= prominent, or distraction prevail
7 and war be carried on among
body of men who all harmOnize
= on the main issue. Personal
: consideration is secondary and
" should be subject to the greatest
= question of the principles in
= volved, and whenever any one
1 :, reverses this rule, either for him
e e self or his friend his counsel is
= no longer worthy of considera-
T ton, nor his promotion desirable.
Idaho has had too much of this
: error and wants no more. The
= re establishment of silver we
. hold first, foundation, as it
= were, on which to build but by
- - no means all. Other reforms are
e 4 of vast import to universal relief.
- And there is one man too, of
y whom we have no fears but that
- the nation, with all the millions
- :, that can be brought against him,
- will be called to the front-but,
y if, by any accident or misman-
agement he should be placed
second or third or the thousand
y eth on the list, has labors, unlike
70 many others, will be the ablest
r. and untiring in behalf of what he
y has always upheld. Such men
- :. should go to the front. and none
. others. May the convention, in
~ all things, be a success.
