Historical Notes
Latah Convention OF 1890.

From the report of the republican county conven-
ton of Latah county published in the Moscow Mir
ror, October @ 1896
The republican county convention of Latah county
was called to order Tuesday morning at 10 80 by the
chairman of the central committee, j. B. West.
After the reading of the call for the primaries and
convention by the secretary Hon. A. J. Green,
Chairman West briefly outlined the work of the
venton and the condition of the party in the county
He said that there had been overtures made by
the bolters asking the republicans to endorse part
of the renegade ticket but from the temper of
of the delegates he believed that the convention
made up of men who were there for principle and
not for office and that ticket would be nominated
representing the principles of the republican party
and if it was defeated defeat would be more honor
able than to discard principle in wild scramble for
spollS.
Nominations for temporary officers were called for
and the name of Hon. J. l. Mitcham was presented
and the selection was made by reclamation. The
nomination of secretary was then taken up and E.
c. Fisher selected by reclamation.
A committee of five on platform and resolutions
then appointed by the chair follows: W. R.
Trull j. c. Steele, J. W. Brigham, w. w. Watkins
and A. c. Loucks.
ganlzation was presented and accepted The report
recommended that W. W. Watkins be made perma-
nent chairman and P. L. Orcutt and B. L. Jenkins
permanent secretaries and that the order of business
directed in the call of the chairman of the central
committee be adopted
