The election Of delegates to the
state convention was next in or
der and the following were elect
ed:
DR.. W. G. Maxey, John T.
Morrison, R. H. Davis, A. B.
Moss, F. 6. Gilbert, B. P. Shaw
han, Edward Allen, Alex BIes-
singer, M. A. Kurtz, o. H.
VanHouten.
The order of business having
been gone through with the con-
vention listened to an eloquent
speech from Hon. A. B. Moss.
The gentleman spoke eloquently
to some length and was gener-
ously applauded. The conven-
ton then adjourned.
An interesting feature of We'd
nesday's convention was the pres
ence Of several men who two
years ago went off with the Silver
Republicans. Another noticeable
feature of the convention was the
eminently representative charac-
ter of the delegates and the con-
Spicuous absence of recognized
politicians. They were among
them farmers, mechanics, laborerS,
lawyers, merchants, old men,
young men and several of Idaho's
new citizens, the women, were in
evidence; all substantial intelligent
and patriotic.

Returns from New Plymouth
and Falk's Store could not be
learned definitely, but it is claimed
those precincts gave sufficient
maiorities to insure the carrying
of the propositions.
1t is claimed that the election
was irregular in some respects
and that a contest will be made.
We are of the opinion, however,
that this is merely talk and that
the minority will quietly submit.
The required majority has been
given and that ought to settle the
matter. Nampa and Payette Peo-
pie claim they did not oppose the
bridges in spite, or an occount of
any personal feeling against Cald-
we'll. They say they favored the
Caldwell bridge until the price Of
construction was raised 5000 over
the original bid. They seem to
think there was some underhand-
ed work on the part of the bridge
company, and it must be admitted
that it has fshy appearance.
However, as the people have SO
spoken, we hope the matter shall
be considered settled.

from the shock to his shattered nerves
a motion to adjourn was put and car
ried and the three gentlemen who com
posed the fusion part of the entertain
ment were alone. They sat in solemn
silence aud gazed long and earnestly
into the fading gloom. Suddenly a
weird and melodious voice arose from
Judge Beatty's back yard, Supposed to
be Dicks mule,) and startled the think
ers from their meditation. They stood
and gazed at each other sadly for few
moments and then sileRtly moved off
into the darkeuing shadows.
The Fusionists held their primaries
Saturday, however, and elected dele
gates to the Boise convention. 1t is
stated though that very few voted, on
account of qualification being at
tached that the delegates elected should
pledge themselves to vote for delegates
for the Boise convention.
The following were elected as dele
gates to Nampa.
Harry Compton, W. II. Taylor, e. H.
Adams, r. L. Morrow, H. A. Gritfiths,
Frank Kipp and j. L. Bardsley, west
Caldwell precinct. Jesse Harmon,
Frank Hartkopf, AL Potts, L. F. Cook,
q. E. Carter, w. f. Bader' and Riley
Cox, east Caldwell precinct.
Out of the fourteen elected it is re,
ported that eight have refused to either
go or give up their proxies. They state
themselves as middle of the road men
and refuse to participate or aid the
Boise faction.
The middle of the Road men were up
and doing Monday, and att o'clock a
large crowd had assembled and the
meeting was called to order. Messrs
Taylor and Gri[Iiths were present and
so was Frank Walton, who came down
from Boise to help the boys out and to
see that no unfair and mean advantage
was taken. The meeting was progress
ing finely and the boys were having a
real love feast when somebody made
the unfortunate mistake to trod ON Mr..
Walton's toes. Then the ball started.
Frank roasted the Fusionists to fin
ish. Chairman Madden happened along
about this time and got his roasting in
turn. Walton handled the opposition
badly and without gloves, too. After
he had in a measure satisfied his pent
up feelings the opposition were ignored
and delegates were elected to go to
Moscow.
During the meeting charges were
brought against county Clerk Dunbar.
lie was accused of being on too init
mate terms with gold bugs generally,
and one John 7. Morrison in particular
Mr.. Dunbar stood his trial and was
unanimously &C quilted and his reputa-
ton declared vindicated.
Each faction declare that they will
fight the other to finish and there is
very little likelihood at present that
the breach will be closed up. 1t is in
pretty much the same condition all
over the state and it is more than like
ly that Idaho will sport two Populist
organizations from now on.
The following delegates were chosen
to go to Moscow: Jacob Stroup, Pay
cite; w. II. Schenk, Caldwell; w. c.
Dunbar, Caldwell; Henry Cox, Cald-
well; w. A. George, Caldwell; A. Doore
Caldwell; Finly Monroe, Emmett; S. j.
Barnum, Lower Boise.

BRIDGE ELECTION.
The Three Propositions Garry. But II Was Close
Scratch-TaIk of More Trouble.


The bridge election last Satur-
day was fairly exciting, and con-
siderable interest was taken, es-
pecially in Caldwell. There was
considerable opposition to the
bridges in certain parts of the
county, especially at Nampa and
Payette, both those precincts vot-
ing majorities against the propo-
sitions. The Caldwell bridge re-
ceived a fair majority, but the
Parma and Slough barely went
through. The following is about
the correct vote, though unofficial:

the City Controller could stop payments
on the vouchers. The committee was
to make the recommendation for the
erection Of a twelve.rVom addition to
the Farren School, for which $4,000
had been appropriated, without know

amount, but changed the motion and
ordered the architect to tabulate the

the board had recommended asking

The committee decided to ask for an
