man of the republican ticket in that election who got
any votes at all in Custer precinct, and he got but
two.
Some weeks after election, business called him to
Custer and he determined to locate, possible, his

Report of committee on resolutions read and adop-
ted as follows:
We, your committee on resolutions and platform,
respectfully submit the following resolutions:
Be it resolved, By the republicans of Owyhee
county, Idaho, in convention assembled that we be-
1eve that the paramount issue in the approaching
presidential campaign is and should be, the fnan-
Cial question.
Be it further resolved that the delegates elected

catello on May the 10th inst be and they are here
by instructed to vote for and their best efforts
the election of delegates to represent the re-
Louis, who known to be honest and able adj
vocates of the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1.
No delegate should be elected who is willing to,
who will submit to- a compromise of the princi-
pies of free coinage in the interest of any other issue
Be it further resolved that we unqualihedly en-
dorse the position of distinguished Senator and
fellow citizen Hon. Fred II. Dubois upon the fnan-
cal problem and hereby extend him the thanks and
congratulaton of the republicans of Owyhee county
for his able, untring and patriotic fight for free
coinage. And earnestly urge that delegates
use their best efforts to place him at the head of
state delegation to the st. Louis convention.
Be it further resolved that we are in favor of in
structing delegates to the ST. Louis convention to
devote their entire, exclusive and undivided efforts
to securing the adoption of strong and unequivocal
free coinage plank in the republican platform, de-
caring for the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to l.
Be further resolved that we believe that the pros
pery of the country demands that all other issues
should be subordnated to the furtherance of free
coinage.

REPUBLICAN,.
F. A. Fem, (Ada).

After the organization of this legislature, contest
arose over the election in Bingham county. Tur-
ner, the Senator and Mullner and Caps, all of
Bingham, contested in their respective branches.
Turner retained his seat in the senate. By legal
opinion rendered by Rice of Canyon chairman of the
judiciary committee of the house. Mulliner and Caps,
though having from one hundred and thirty to one
hunder and eighty votes each than their oppon-
ents, were unseated and Briggs and Orr took their
places.
Apropos to this situation the Pocatello Tribune under
date January 49, 1897, under the heading of 1.-TWO
Seats Stolen" made the following observations
Two seats in the lower house of the Idaho legisla-
ture belonging to Representatives Caps and Null
liner, silver republicans from Bingham county, were
deliberately stolen last Monday and given to B. ].
Briggs and S. H. Orr two populists Frank Fem,
the lone Mckinley republican, helped accomplish this
steal.
The theft of these two seats only accomplished
after exciting debate. During the debate it
to light that the committee privileges and election
had originally voted to make unanimous report in
favor of the sitting members. Three of the
mittee had afterwards changed their minds.
The committee reported at the opening of the after
noon session The majority report, signed by Claw
son and McMurrln, democrats, and Fulton and
Brown, silver republicans, in favor of the sitting
members 1t was very brief and simply recommended
that the title of Caps and Mulliner to the seats be
confirmed. A minority report, signed by Allen, dem
ocrat, Goldensmith and Sperry populists briefly
recommended the seating of the contestants.
After long debate the minority report was final
ly adopted. x
Under the ruling of Speaker Afford, Caps and
Mulliner were allowed to participate in the ballot
The point involved in the contest was that the
Electors Democratic ticket illegal This ticket
bore the names that the silver republi-
ticket. The opposition held that it was put in the
field for the purpose of deceiving voters. On the
other side, it maintained there was nothing be-
fore the house committee to show that any votes
cast for the Electors" ticket; and it is claimed
by the silver republicans that as matter of fact,
very few votes cast for -that the majority of
the unseated members greater than the entire
Electors Democratic" vote cast in the county
The silver republicans further hold that as the
supreme court has held that a name can be printed
on more than one ticket the point is disposed Of
Their opponents claim that the purpose of the ticket
was to deceive and that therefore it makes no diff
ference whether it received any votes or not-t1at
the purpose vtates the election. In reply to this
the silver republicans state that the election of gov
ernor and other officers must therefore, also be void
since their names on the "E1ectors'n ticket in

TROOP D HOLDS
 MEETING TONIGHT
CAPTAIN STEWART'S RESIGNA- TON WILL BE ACCEPTED AND ELECTION ORDERED FOR SUc- ACCOMMODATES.

The regular monthly meeting of Troop D. Alabama National Guard, will be held in the armory at the city hall to- night at o'clock. The meeting will be one of interest to the members of the troop.
 It is very probable that the checks for the service of the members of the troop while they were attending the encamp- ment at Montgomery several weeks ago will be on hand for distribution, and for this reason every member of the troop is urged to be present at the meeting. Stewart will be read and ratified and a vacancy declared in the position of cap- tain and an election ordered. Notice of the vacancy will be posted in the armory and the election will very probably be held at the next regular meeting of the troop.
 There are five contestants for the office of captain which will be made vacant by Captain Stewards resignation. They are First Lieutenant c. H. Mandy Sec ond Lieutenant G. w. Hamilton, Capt. E. J. McCrossin, ex-Lieutenant Walter Met calf and Lieutenant Stephens of Com pany K. While the race for the first position fin the troop may be warm, First Lieutenant Mandy is next in line for the position and many of the mem- bers of the company have expressed their intention of voting for him.
