THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.


products was giving vent to such expressions re
gardng the democracy of Idaho as "I4amentable pro
ceedure of the state committee unfortunate NOR
ale operations of the state committee" Members
the democratic party who pioneers of 1901" AM
like expressions calculated to mould sentiment a
early possible, which would inure the politica
aid of their associates the republicans and of the
coveted allies, the Mormons.
Ten days since the Tribune quoted the false state
ment of the Boise edition of the Deseret News, re
ferrng to the democratic press of the state" prove
that the Cour d A1ene ticket of the democracy two
years ago "sate ticket, the personnel of which
was announced, two days previous to its making
by the Spokesman Review, which the Tribune has
the effrontery to style, Dubois Spokane Organ"
Of the 21S democratic delegates present partic-
ipants in the Ceur d Alene convention all of them
know and the democratic papers of the state know
that Judge Stocksager was the only nominee of the
convention whose nomination was forecasted by
the delegates of the convention by the democracy
of the state. Candidates for minor places on the
ticket caused little no attention until the plat
form made and the convention permanently or
gained
The Spokesman Review had an able representative
of their paper present to report the proceedings of
the convention, in the person of Mr.. CASTOR, who
six of the ten or eleven nominations which the
convention made Never was convention of any
party reer from the charge of previous plans than
the democratic convention held at Cour d. Alene
City two years ago.
AS stated there not candidate nominated at
the Ceur d Alene convention, with the exception of
Judge Stockslager, who knew that he was to be nom
mated when the convention met.
1t SO happens that of these candidates. Mr.
Karl Paine, the nominee for Attorney General, lives
in the city where the Boise edition of the Deseret
News is published Notwithstanding the fact that for
some unaccountabe reason Mr.. Paine is now sup
porting this miserable outfit he knows and will state,
if called upon that his nomination was surprise
to him.
The Boise edition of the Deseret News has no
power of persuasion at its command sufficient to in
duce Karl Paine to say that he had any sort of an
with Mr.. Dubois regarding his nom
lnat1on. Mr.. Paine not at the convention did
not solicit the nomination and made no promises of
any kind description to anyone to secure his nom
nation
1t also happens that Dr. ]. B. Morris, the candidate
tor State Treasurer, lives at Lewiston, where the
Tribune, which is always the ardent defender of the
Mormons, is published Neither Dr. Morris nor any,
'llC eloe hleW tndt lie was 10 De nominated Tor
state treasurer when the convention assembled at
Ceur d Alene The very day of the nominations,
many of them, held and Nez Perez
delegates were present urging the nomination of Dr.
Norris George Erb was one of these Nez Perez
delegates who was most successful in convincing the
emocrats of the peculiar fitness of Dr. Morris as the
ominee of the democracy for the office of treasurer
The doctor was 10th to take the nomination
The Lewiston Tribune has no power of persuasion
its command sufficient to induce Dr. Norris or
gorge Erb, to support what the Tribune says or to
eny the facts here stated.
