Lewiston evening teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1900, 1900-09-07

The Nez Perce republican county con-
vention met pursuant TO adjournment at
Io:45 a. n., temporary chairman Martin
in the chair. Prior to reconvenng of
the convention the demos could be seen
hobnobbing and looking wise (trying to,
| at least) and fattered themselves into the
belief that the political horizon was
dark and carmine spots were visible on
the moon. But they had been looking
on the situation through glasses smoked
with prejudice and emnity. The spa
cious court room in the court house was
filed to its fullest capacity--that not
taken by the delegates was taken by the
gallery gods, who were out i'll numbers.
The first order of business was the report
of the credentials committee which was
adopted as read, likewise those of the
committees on resolutions and order of
business. When the report of the COM
mittee on order came up, by reasen of a
little misunderstanding of the report rel.
ative to the selecting by each delegation
of one of their number whose duty it
would be to announce the vote of his
respective delegation, there were a
few flights Qinlited) of oratory in
dulged i'll by some of the members who
were laboring under a misapprehension,
but after comprehensive explanation
had been offered, smile of serene con-
tentment played hide and seek upon the
facial area of the misguided gentlemen.
After the adoption of the report of the
committee OH permanent organization in
which Geo. w. Fletcher was named as
permanent chairman he was called to the
chair and after few remarks proceeded
with the regular order of business after
selecting c. d, McEachron as perma-
nent secretary. The committee OH plat
form submitted the following which was
adopted:
"Resolved-By the republicans of Nez
Ferce county in convention assembled,
that we endorse the national republican
platform recently adopted at Phladel-
dhia, and also the state republican plat
form adopted at Boise, Idaho on the 18th
day OF July last, and we further endorse
the present republican county admins
tration in conducting our county affairs
in an honest and economical manner.
"Resolved-That in the free home
stead law every Nez Perce county farmer
who settled upon Nez Perce reservation
lands recognizes a personal benefaction
conferred upon him by and through re-
publican legislation"
The chair then announced that nomi-
nations for state senator would be in or
der and the following gentlemen were
placed in nomination:
F. d. Hasbrouck, J. y. Stacy, Thomas
Mullen, G.. A. Manning and J. w. Rozen.
The first ballot showed Hasbrouck to be
i'll the lead, which he maintained, win
ming on the second ballot, the vote be-
ing Hasbrouck, 90; Stacy, 2S; scattering,
IS. Amid much cheering and waving of
hats Mr.. Hasbrouck was declared the
nominee for state senator.

The ANIl.pLA1FoRM.

The declaration of democratic princi-s
pies as adopted at Kansas city yester-
day is one of the most artfully con-.
structed political platforms that has.
ever been written. Upon the face IL
shows the effect of the desperate
struggle between conservatism and
fiatism for mastery. Fiatism finally
triumphed at Bryan's dictaton, but
conservatism left its impress upon al
most the entire platform, which. while
anti-everything in principle, as was TO
be expected. is yet couched in language
artfully designed TO piacate tn. fac
tions that have become sick and tired
of the reckless radicalism and extrava-
gance of statement within the demo-
cratic party. But mild of statement. as
1T is, the platform is as vicious of prin-
ciple as was its forerunner of 1896.
The platform is a long one, dealing
almost entirely with the anti-imperial-
ism issue, condemning, denouncing ana
done by the republican party and not
mentioning the paramount" issue Of
1896 until the last of the list, when a
plain, uneauivocal ten-line declaration
for free and unlimited coinage of sill
Yer at the ratio of Ii to Il, is inserted.
, The fight in the resolutions committee
majority of the committee and an un-
mistakable majority of the delegates
were opposed to a 16 to plank, but
Bryan was the undisputed, imperial
boss Of the convention and Bryan In
sisted upon 16 to 1. So we have in the
democratic party of 1900 the same fiat,
i3free silver party of 1896 and the same
dangerous candidate at the head of the
| crowd. Anti-imperial;sm is intended
to be the vote catching issue of the
| campaign, but free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to II
lis the avowed purpose of the candidate
Under the circumstances the frank
admission in the last clause, .'believing
THAT our most cherished institutions are
in great peril, that the very existence OF
our constitutional republic is at stake
strikes with the most convincing force
OF any plank In that platform. The only
thing that prevents actual alarm ex-
listing is the fact that the nation really
es there is not the ghost Of a show for
BRYAN ever becoming president.

of the convention had determined
Large bodies move slowly and cautious
or contentious gatherings will not be
hurried. The friction between the cons
sentative forces that desired to hide or
throw out the silver issue and those
who planned to reafiirm ii made it nee
essary to guard against any possible
rupture. The formal nomination of
Bryan therefore was delayed. tho of
course it was expected. In fact the
public is SO thoroughly familiar With
the situation that it will look at the
proceedings as the perfunctory carrying
out OF plans that We're Inevitable. He

OUR FOREIGN POPULATION.

In the July number Of the North.
American Review Mr.. Michael8G. Null
hall makes forecast OF this years.s
census of the United States, in which
he estimates a population for us of
about &c. 200. 900 or an increase in TWEEN

of foreigners in the United States viii

OF Immigrants, the Irish exhibit the

ficant fact that the foreign population
constitutes a declining ratio OF the
whole, and that in spite of the ten
dency among the Irish and Germans to
remain in the country the decline is
most marked among those ma tonalities.
