aftermath OF THE CONVENTION
HOW DUBOIS WON The DAY.
Idaho County Delegation Cast the Deciding Vote.
Did Fremont and Other Mormon
Counties Bolt the COnventi0n2

One Of the most remarkable conven-
tions In the history Of the democratic
party in this state closed last night.
Two weeks ago these was little evil
dence in sight that fight of such pro-
portions would burst on the conven-
ton. At that time t was believed that
the party machinery in the state was
thoroughly in the control Of Senator
Dubois and his followers. That he still
retains the control IL due to the won-
derful sagacity Of the man and the un-
swerving friendship Of his followers
The victory was purely a Dubois VIC
tory. The Mormon question was the
chief question before the house. It can
not be said that this question tri-
umphed in itself. There were many OF
the Dubois followers who were not in
on the Mormon question but the fact
that Dubois was fostering the issue
and needed the staunch friendship Of
his followers. alone saved the day. It
was not the victory Of the Mormon is
sue that prevailed but victory for
Dubois who clinches the control Of the
party machinery in the state two years
hence when he will undoubtedly have
the battle OF his life on his hands to
secure a reelection to the United
States senate. There are few people in
the convention who really know how
the trick was turned. 1t might be ap-
propriate to say here that the pivotal
point after the defeat OF the Dubois
resolution Monday night laid in Idaho
county. That county held the issue in
its hands. Idaho county was under the
unit rule. OF the twenty votes the an
ti-Mormon faction held but eight.
While the delegation was nominally in
favor of Dubois and Heitfeld 1t was op-
posed to the radical anti-polygamy
plank. The work on the delegates was
done Monday night. There was no
sleep for the anti-polygamist faction.
The Idaho county delegation worked in
caucus nearly all night and before
o'clock in the morning the three neces-
sary votes to swing the delegation had
been assured. This gave to Dubois the
solid support Of Idaho county. The

egation In the convention yesterday de-

nying In every particular that patron "
age had been pedalled n true. The 0ol-
egation was turned by pure blum ana
nothing else. While the members "
the delegation opposed the polygamy
plank they were absolutely forced Into
the band wagon on the plea that they
themselves were more interested IN ~
success Of Dubois than they were Of he

had to be fixed Monday night and that
delegation was Ghoshone county. They
were not under the unit rule but tlser
majority were opposed 10 q strong
polygamy plank. There was hot work
done In that delegation Monday night
and before the convention opened yee-
terday morning eight more votes hAds
been pledged to Dubois on the resolu-
ton. 1t may now Be stated that the
vote was changed after hard work In
which the eight votes were made "a

olution meant the defeat Of Heitfel0

peals made by the Mormon fighters Ons
the floor of the convention the Duboi11
plank went through as amended. It ins
a pecliar fact that Idaho county should1
be the pivot In the change on the re-
suit. The same thing occurred at Bo-
catello four years ago at which, time
Idaho county was divided Stennen-
berg and Dubois were the issue prac-
tically In that convention. A vote waD

ing day which gave to Steunenberg .
victory. The convention adjourned tin
morning. Dubois needed two votes to
win and on reconsideration Of the
question Dubois gained the necessary
votes and won the day. At the time
Dubois was elected to the United States
senate he was defeated in the legisla-
ture and after a reconsideration ef the
vote he became elected Hb powers
seem to be supreme. Fate - evtdently
with him and the result yeoterday

The democratic state convention
opened it's closing session last night
at the Masonic Temple. 1t was seven
forty before Chairman r. H. Johnson
called the convention to order. The
Lewiston Military Band was just
marching to the hall with the delegates
and spectators who crowded into every
available seat. The enthusiasm in the
convention was not SO apparent as 1t
was at the close of the session before
supper. All the enthusiasm and wild
cheering seemed to have been stored up
for the Hon. Henry Heitfeld which was
allowed to break forth in all Its 1iory
when he was nominated for governor.
The night session was one Of merely
form. Candidates for the various
state officers We're apparently listiess or
disinterested in the final result. When
the name of some particular candidate
was placed in nomination his name was
family applauded by the friends who
were interested in his nomination. The
chairman asked for the nominations
at $40. The first order of business
was the naming of presidential electors
The call asked for the nomination OF

Convention approaches, the can
didates are not only busy trying
to convince voters of the relative
merit of their fitness to represent
them, but are also active in their
efforts to dodge the horde of
grafters, bOOdlers, ETC., who are
equally on the alert impressing
their monetary worth upon those
in need of their services. They
labor for revenue only, and their
claims as to the number of voters
they control would put a high
market value on their services to
those inexperienced in the ways of
a class who in other cities are
known as ward heelers." The
opportunity for political graft in
this city coming but once in four
years, makes these political para
sites ravenOus, and they attack
any and all candidates with the
ferOcity of hungry wolves. The
experienced politician gives them
neither money or consideration,
for he knows that the election de
pends entirely upon the respect
able element of voters, and that
the men who demand mOny to
cline up the boys" seldom control
more than their own vote, and that
is generally in the market.
The contest for National Com
mitteemen from the District has
narrowed down to Mr. Chaplin
Brown and General Geo. z.
Harries. They are both well
known and reputable gentlemen,
and the selection of either will
give eminent satisfaction to the
community.
While the decision of the judges
will determine the winners, the
public are already selecting their
favOrites and wagering on the re
suit The Van Winkle-PattersOn
ticket seems to be favOrite against
the field. Some of the entries are
quoted at as much as 100 to 1,
The "rail birds" are following the
"wise money" and it is safe to say
they will "cash" on their judg
ment.
It is amusing to notice the
earnestness of some of the old
time politicians who got their
schooling either in the south OF
before suffrage was taken away III
the District. They look wise, give
their opinions cautiously, and al
ways refer to the time when they
were a power in politics. YOu
can just bet they know how to run
a campaign, and if they were only
etc. But what's the use. They
are all dead ones.

The Republicans of the Charles
ton, w. Va, District have lust
elected their delegates to the next
Republican Convention, which
meets in Chicago in June next. and
it was a hot fight from beginning
to end. One of the most active
participants in this struggle was
the gifted and brilliant young Phil
Waters, of Kanawha County, who
made a number of rafting speech
es. Mr.. Waters was nominated
for delegate from the Third Dis
trict, by Mr.. III. d. ROmweH. and
he responded in a speech which
brought him a vigorous round of
applause. Mr.. Waters is easily the
cOlOred leader of the Third Dis
trict, and is popular alike with all
classes.
Among the number of tributes
paid Mr.. Waters by the daify
press after the day of the conven-
ton, are the following:

Waters, paying him high tribute
as a Republican worker of more
than State reputation and service.
On motion of Mr.. Reach the two

Waters was called to the stand
for a speech and made one in
which he said the Democratic
party was a party of funerals and
burials and named things they had
buried until one began to wonder
if there was anything worth while
left above ground.
District politics is at a white
fever heat, and as election day ap.
prOaches the interest is more in
tenSified.
The rumOr of the withdrawal of
Mr.. James w. Poe from the Poe
Richardson ticket is without
foundation. Mr.. Poe's friends.
and their names are legion, claim
that he is in the fight to the finish.
