The Half-LOaf Rejected.

The point at issue in the democratic convention
at Denver in relation to the affairs of Idaho was
not the right of the regular Twin Falls delegation
to seat in the convention. That was conceded
the record of the convention submitted,
for the evidence complete that the Jack Mormon
boilers had no claim to recognition.
But many members of the committee were in
duced to believe that it would be courteous act
to seat both the regulars and the rregulars, giving
to each delegate half a vote. To this the regular
delegates would not consent, and it about their
refusal that the little there in the way of
fict conferred
The regular delegates said they were either
titled to all that bestowed upon them by the
Twin Falls convention, they entitled to
nothing and they refused to yield, there
other course than the one taken by the committee,
which gave the seats in the convention to the prop
erly qualified delegates

COlOred ReinfOrCements.

One of the remarkable occurrences of this year of
wonderful political changes manifested in the
appearance before the committee on resolutions of
the national democratic convention at Denver of the
secretary of the National Negro Political league ac-
companied by proposition for the leagues afi1ia-
ton with the democratic party.
The league through its secretary, proposed to as
sst in the election of Bryan and Kern 1t asked
for nothing in the way of platform pledges. It
merely wanted to know if its assistance and the
votes of the colored people would be acceptable to
the democratic party, The secretary said that Mr.
Bryan had assured him that he would say what
the negroes wanted said in his letter of acceptance
The secretary conveyed statement from the league
to the convention committee which contained an
olive branch to the democrats of the south in the
form of offer to assist them in the election of
their friends to office in return for the removal of
the distractions placed in the way of voting
AS to offices, the league said:
We hope, if success crowns our mutual efforts, to
share with you the fruits of victory surely as much
the parsimonious republican party has given and
much your magnanlnity will permit and
loyalty deserves
1t was stated that the national organization of
negroes had branch organizations in Colorado, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut Rhode Island, Delaware Mary
land, West Virginia and Kentucky. 1t has since
established organization in Idaho and will or
ganize in other states.
Assurance was given that the division in the ranks
of colored voters permanent. 1t is not denied
that the movement for the emancipation of the
negro vote from the republican party was stimu-
lated by the Brownsville affair, feeling running
strong against Mr.. Taft, who is charged with being
largely responsible for the position assumed by
President Roosevelt against the coored soldiers
who dishonoraby discharged.
The overtures made by the negro race to the dem
ocratc convention lead up to the thought that the
solution of the vexed problem of the south in the
hands of the negroes themselves. They
the disfranchisement that rests upon them by
abandoning the solidy of their position against the
white democrats. The Denver affair may lead to
the establishment of better relations.
