The remonstrance petition
against the division or abolition
of Custer county, is being circu-
lated in Challis, and we are
pleased to state is being signed
by nearly all. if not all, our citi
zens. We desire to call the at
tention of our members of the
Legislature that any scheme to
divide or abolish Custer county
is against the best interests of
every citizen of Custer county,
and an injustice to all concerned,
and we ask the members of the
Idaho legislature TO use every
honorable means to defeat any
such absurd scheme. We are
informed that this proposition
originated over in Haley and is
being agitated by a few citizens
on Lost river, but we feel conf
dent that our Legislature will not
aid in any way in imposing upon
Custer county such an injustice.

Dubois Nominated.

BOISE CITY, Ida., Jan. Sat
3 O'Clock Monday morning 80 of
the 43 fusion members of the
legislature. in joint caucus. NOM
mated Fred 7. Dubois for United
States senator. The absentees
were the three members from
Bear Lake, Senator q. M. Pug
mire and Representatives John
r. Brennan and Emmett Howell,
all democrats. and Senator j. G.
Stephens of Idaho county, who
was said by Dubois men to be for
their favorite but who was kept
away from the caucus by sick
ness.
The caucus was held in the
democratic headquarters in the
Pack building. The representa-
tives of the democratic, silver
republican and populist parties
had met there to ratify the nom
nations of the party caucuses
for legislative positions and to
nominate Mr.. Dubois for sena-
tor. The vote proceeded without
any interruption in the way of
applause. 1t was unanimous.
After the vote had been taken
the Legislators filed to Mr.. Du-
bois' headquarters in the Capitol
hotel and notified him of the re-
suit. Mr.. Dubois responded
briefly. He said he thanked his
friends from the bottom of his
heart. He felt the nomination
came as a recognition of his serv-
ices to the state. He had not
used a dollar to secure vote, a
sentiment that was greeted with
applause. Proceeding he said
This signifies to me united
party in this state. (Applause).
Upon one banner the forces of
reform will march On to continu-
ed victory. The republican party
has reached condition where no
honest man who has the best in
terests of his country at heart
can afford to support it. For
myself l hope l may never live
to see the time when that party
shall be victorious in this state. :"
