The Fighting Fleet.

Fifteen of the sixteen battleshps of the American
navy, from Hampton Roads on a cruise around the
world, left San Francisco steaming westward on the
18th inst, the sixteenth vessel the Nebraska being
detained few days on account of an outbreak of
scarlet fever.
The fleet will visit Honolulu and from there it will
proceed to Auckland, New Zealand and will sail
from there to Sidney, Australia. Two other Aus
traan ports Melbourne and Albany are to be
visited and from there the fleet will go to Manila
where it will be formed into two divisions one of
which will visit Japan and the other China In
November the reunited fleet will head for home
taking the Suez canal route. 1t will be due at
Hampton Roads some time in February
1t is expected that this aggregation of ironc1ads
will impress the world with the proves of Uncle
Sam. It's long cruise will give the officers and men
valuable practice and experience. These are sup
posed to be the objects of the expedition in the alb
sence of an official explanation.
On the day of the sailing of the fleet, Congressman
Hobson of Alabama, late captain in the navy made

On Friday afternoon, the 10 inst. the democratic

The nomination made by reclamation.
Charles A. Towne, of New York, A. A. Mcneil,

nervert from other portions of the state the national
convention of democrats at Denver gave to them only
the time and attention required to listen to their
statements and then brushed them out of the way.
For brief period they were speck onthe proceed
ings Wiped out, they entered into a condition that
it would be fattery to call oblivion They were
declared non-eXstent from the beginning They
never have been. Idaho has known this for some
time 1t has borne with their pretences because there
is no law authorizing the abatement of that kind of
nuisance.
AS representatives of the democracy of the state
they have had no claim the organization either
national or local. and it did not take the conven-
ton at Denver long recognize the vacuty of their
their pretensions.
The entire movement against the solidarity of the
democratic party in Idaho has been managed by
subservient attorneys for the hierarchy, who have
been relentless and remorseless in their assaults up
on character and in the vindictive malignancy of
their leprous tongues.
If there is anything any foul than the lechery
of the Mormon church is the depravy that accepts
the tainted influence of the 1.-THE gathering debauchers

1t is expected that the progenors of the irregular

democratic convention to be held at Wallace the
4th of August-boters of the three counties of Ada,
Canyon and Elmore
Their cases having been disposed of in state and
national conventions, through positive declarations
that they do not represent the democracy of Idaho
they concusvey not entitled to any recognition

After their exhibition of rowdysm at Twin Falls
and their manifestation of contempt for properly
organized convention the Wallace convention would
be justified in looking upon them as undesirable
citizens and treating them accordingly
The future of Idaho will be vastly improved by
the overthrow of this pestiferous brood of Jack
Mormons. Thousands of Gentiles, without regard to
party have been watching the course of their con-
spracy against the common welfare They will
take new hope now that the overthrow of the enemies
of decency has been made complete These Gentles
are in the campaign for law and purity freed from
partisan entangements and will be glad of the op-
portuny to sustain the victory at Denver with their
moral support and their ballots.

Dental term the United States would be at with

be democratic, he urged the ACCESSIBILITY of

In common with the president of the United States
and his cabinet officers, Mr.. Hobson pleaded for
batteships during the last session of congress-
but of them have before divulged the cause of
their anxiety. Possibly they have taken the
bers of the naval committees of the senate and house
into their confidence, but information like that
put forth by Mr. Hobson at Denver has before been
given to the public
1t will not be doubted that Mr.. Hobson believes
he has for the apprehension expressed by him.
If his apprehension is we'll grounded, there should be
no hesitation about the compliance of congress- the

popular impression that the official demand for an

The new ties for Byron collars are
