PARKER AND DAVIS.

The work of the great national
convention of the democratic party
has been completed and the standard
bearers for the campaign of 1904 are
Parker and Davis. 1t was conyen-
ton of most exciting and trying stu
ations, more so, perhaps, than any
other in the history of the party AS
has been predicted for the past sew.
eral months, the conservative ele-
ment of the party controlled. The
platform committee would not weld
TO the radical silver men nor to the
radical gold men, and all were
brought to see that that question is
not an issue in this campaign; there
fore no declaration was made upon
that subject, Mr.. Bryan was in the
committee on platform and ALWAYS
active in the work on the floor OF the
convention. After it was all over he
expressed his satisfaction, and said
he would support the candidates on
the platform adopted. That is the
way for loyal democrat 10 xtalk.
Hearst talks in the same strain. The
party is once more united, and sue
cess is within reach
Judge Parker is man eminently
qualified for the office of president.
He is q conservative, capable and
conscientious statesman. A man
who has been elected TO Office in his
Own state by large majorities, and no
man stands higher 10 the estimation
OF bis fellow citizens than this man
who has just been named for the
presidency by the democratic nation.

LOCAL COMMENT ON
WORK OF CONVENTION

as much paramount issue today as
1t was in the campaign of four years
ago.
On the polygamy and church in
terferance question, the platform is
not as strong as it ought to be, but
strong enough to Indicate that the
party is ready and willing to take
hold of the obnoxious and disg listing
practices and end them, and should
be supplemented by strong planks in
the state platform, soon to be adopt
ed at Lewiston. FRANK HARRIS.
/. @. Galloway:
Considering the discussions in the
democratic party in the past, con-
slider the result attained at the st
Louis convention quite satisfactory.
at least to all who would like a
change in the administration of ma
tional affairs. We of the west d.
rectly interested, may feel sore over
the financial plank, indirectly adopt
ed. The kind of money is not SO
important as the baneful power that
money now holds in the possession
OF rough-riding, plungipg, strenu-
Gus ruling power, in its wild craze
for sudden ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
A nation can NO more secure pow
er, greatness, wealth and peace in
reckless extravaganza, pomp and
boastful arrogance than an ,ndivid
ual could, proceeding in the same
hne. If a clustering individual
starts out to find fight, he soon
finds it, Our government now occu
pies a position SO prominent among
the nations of the earth that it is ex-
tremely humiliating to ask Uncle
Sam to strut around with chip on
his shoulder, saying "Who dare
knock 1t Off"
| believe 1T is time to call halt
and make change. Judge Parker,
the quiet farmer citizen, the eminent
jurist, is, l believe, proper person
to man the ship of state.
The telegram sent to the conven-
ton by Judge Parker, declining his
nomination unless his views of the
money question was understood
proves that be is an honest states
man rather than even passing poll
tician. The politicians had attempt
ed to evade an issue. Parker refused
to connive even to semblance of de-
ception. BY doing so he is exalted
in my estimation. IF the radical
wing of democracy headed by such
men as Bryan, Newlands, Dubois
Clark, Cockrell, Towne and Hearst
acquiesce In the result, / know no
reason to object.

FITS OUR CASE EXACTLY.

At the coming meeting of the
county commissioners the bids for
keeping the county roads in repair
will be passed on, and the contracts
awarded accordingly, says the Boise
County News, Boise county has
got by that stage where any old thing
will do for road that three and a
quarter dead-ex wagon can worry
along on without breaking down or
tipping over, and demands more
from it's future contractors than it
bas received from those of the past.
The commissioners should see that
a good and sufficient bond is offered
with the bid, and also, that the bid
der is man who will get out and
work to keep the roads in good con-
dition and faithfully earn the money
ne gets from the county, instead of
looking at it as so much money
found.
The system in the past has been
burlesque, to say the least; the diff
erent bidders have wed with each
other in seeing how low they would
make their bids, as they had no idea
of doing anything to earn their mon
ey, and in this way they have sue
ceeded In forcing the price down so
low that it is impossible to do the
work as it should be done.
The future contractor may under
stand now that past methods will not
be tolerated, and that the citizens of
this county demand that the work be
done in way to benefit the people
at large instead of largely beneiting
the contractor, to the detriment of
every business interest reached by
these thoroughfares.
Our county Is in state of de-
yelopment that exceeds anything it
has experienced for many years,
many tons OF machinery aud mining
supplies will be moved here during
the summer, and our roads should be
put In shape TO accommodate II.

THE HARRINGTON TRIAL.
The Bogus Lord Relates His Story Con'
corning the Alleged Murder OF
James Mccain.

st. Louis, March 5.-After the ex-
animation of number of witnesses for
the defense in the trial Of lord" Bar
rington for the alleged murder OF
James P. Mccain, the defendant him
self took the stand late yesterday.
Lord" harrington was apparently
unwilling to divulge much information
concerning his past and 1t was only
by rigid questioning that he made
known the following: He testified
that his real name is Frederick Au-
gustus Darlington Seymour; that no
had never posed as an English noble
man; that he was born in India and
had spent number Of years In that
country, and that he was war corre-
spondent during the South African
war. He then proceeded to relate his
story of the circumstances connected
with the alleged murder Of Mccain.
Epitomized, his testimony was to the
effect that Mccain had invited him to
60 to Bonfls with him on the night OF
June II to meet some friends. At Bon
fills, when they left the car and started
down the path, somebody whistled
and Mccain whistled in response.
Suddenly they were set upon by assail-
ants and both we're knocked down.
harrington fought with the assailants
in the dark and was knocked sense
less and laid in that condition until
dawn. He could not find Mccain and
proceeded to walk to st. Louis, where
he went to McCann's home and told
Mrs. Mccain Of the assault.
1t is expected the defense will con-
clude this forenoon and the case will
60 to the jury before evening.

DESTRUCTIVE PRAIRIE FIRES.


Kearney, Neb., March IA destruc-
tive prairie fire ragged yesterday
between this place and Wood River,
carried on by a 5O-mile-an-hour gale.
It started in the afternoon near the
latter town and was carried rapidly
southwark. All the buildings on the
Calkins ranch have been destroyed, az
well as a number on the Gamble farm.
The wind carried the flames across the
Union Pacific railroad tracks, giving
the fire clear field, and It licked W
haystacks, buildings and everything
else in its path. At four O'Clock re-
quest came to Kearney for help and
members of the fire department went
to the scene. It was not believed the
fire could be stayed, however, until 1t
reached the Platte river. There were
no reports Of loss Of life thus far.
McCook was seriously menaced BY
prairie fires yesterday afternoon. A
perfect gale prevailed. A shift Of the
wind at an opportune time and hard
lighting by citizens warded on the dis
aster. North and east Of that city
many farm buildings and other prop
erty were destroyed.
