On the afternoon of Sept q dropped into Au

waiting very interesting conversation came to M,
from the adjoining room, the thin board partition
permitting very distinct hearing
I First heard C say "well, now, what do 20,
think OF themg'
"of whoY" says H.
'Why, that silver convention. tell you, Bro. n
we will have to work this thing fine or the crmp O
christ will catch See here there is no use trying
to work the Silver Republicans. Our boys have go

Whitney Madison combination but we got bounced
70 our pains and the fusion is made between those
silver parties all right | tell you, Clarence, what
Easey ought to have done to ignore them alto
gether and come over to US, where he belonged Bit
now he has exposed his hand, and ii nominal,
him hell will pop among those not inside OF our nest
Now, see here, Charles says H -, 'you know
we can't leave Easey out. We will have to rlanag,
way to have three other sheriff candidates give

but that's politics, and / think We can manage it
But how about our other nominees? Who shall we

That's just what we want to get at" says C

side precincts represented which looks bad for our
party, and VIC might as well fix things in advance
right here. Now, the first on the ticket will be Sen
ator and Geo. Golden is the man, because we all
know he kept his seat warm continually except once,
and that was when he raised to advocate the Boise
Atlanta wagon road bill. Now, who for representa-
tive?"
'Did'nt Golden raise to vote for that greatest OF
living statesman, Shoup? asked T.
"Gentlemen, we are drifting from the subject" re-
marked c.
'say, Charlie, why don't you take one Of them
places, asked T.
"Not vet" says C. Don't you think our
people would stand that giant of intellect Mullany.
We've got to give Glenns Ferry something"
I'LL no; put man on exclaimed 4 -
swell, wen pass that, said C. "SAy, Mr..
H, for auditor and recorder; | tell you we
must put good man up for that and where is hei
Bert Smith don't believe will have IL but we must
just make him run. He has the money to help us
out and il he would put up say $500 go, you know
that would help toward paying what was advanced
us a couple months ago to cork up Rohrers mouth
will see Bert and make him run. But if he wont
take it, Andy Griffin might dol don't think W,
cou Id elect Andy, but it would fill the ticket W,
would have been all right if that Atlanta scheme had
worked"
"What schemeT asked T.
"Why," replied c." that scheme to get Ar
thur Davis to run for auditor our ticket Genera
P recommended him and we wrote him Offering
him the nomination, but id if he didn't rufuse IL
Yes he said he was Silver Republican, and ccull
not affiliate with Level headed boy that and
holds principle above office But by all means dom
let Bert Smith know offered it to Davis.
who'll We rrn against sinnott?' asked T..
why" replied c., 1--WE have choice. HoWiC
is the only man we've got Ihatll be all right, be
cause should | be commissioner and Howie count,
attorney we can put the crimp into them sure Dc
you suppose sinnot will run well outside of Glenn.
Ferry?
ayes, he will" says r. 1--WE elected him Pro
bate Judge six years ago and the people seemed sat
fed with his work At any rate his administration
was better than Clintons. Don't under estimate Sin
motifs ability or strength you'll get left sure"
"Now for sheriff, says C. 'Thats settled
We must give it to Easley-it wouldn't do to turr
him down. lie is onto our combination, and has
been in all our quiet deals with in fact he knows
too much about our schemes TO be sighted Smith
and McManns and Fred Davis will feel sore but they
can bc fixed all right. What slick thing Easley
would have had il he could have worked the Silver
Republicans. Say, he wasn'I very popular among
his people here at the primaryyou might say he got
only Silver Republican votes to IS against him. Ii
we nominate Bob he must take his chances, and
fear slim ones, for jim oNeill has made splendid
official record and he don't gamble do other sly
naughty thngs-but for gracious sake don't talk thi:
on the outside"
Look here, says H, 1--WE must not put oil
Mountain Home men on, although think our show
of electng them would be just slim, and it's about
the only place in the county where capable car
be found-but let's give them around. Now, I'll tel
who TO put up for assessor-Wm. Howard Of Rocky
Bar. He has lots of relatives, and it doesn't make
any difference who We put UP, young Davis will be
elected by big majority, but it will even up thing,
to nominate Howard.
