\S CONVENTION CITY,
The holding «*f the demoorstlo state
convention in this city marked an
imporant event in our history which
will he of lasting be..etlt. It not
only demonstrated our ability to suc
cessfully handle large gatherings and
Care for the people, but it stamped
the plane us a convention city, a spot
where the pilgrims can come from the
hoi sands of tbo desert and cool their
parched feet in the sylvan waters of
the lake. We gained a reputation for
hospitality that is now as broad as
the state the aud politicals will here
after have this place in view when a
convention oity Is to be selected. It was
tha Erst state convention ever held
in this plane and proved a reve
lation to the delegates, who hud al
ways believed that there were but
threa cities in the state where accom
modaitona for such u gathering could
ha had, Boise, Pocatello aud Lewis
ton. Now they know better and in
tho future these cities will have to
reckon with Coour d'Alene.
A STAND FOR MORALITY.
In its platform, aud lu the person
nel of its state ticket, the democratic
party of Idaho has taken a high mor
al standard as its ideal In politics,
and we will see where the many good
people of Idaho who sincerely believe
in morality--und they are legion--can
rise above party and say by their
rotes that they believe In enforcing
the provisions of our state coustltu
tiou against the barbarous practice
of polygamy. The democratic plat
form la outspoken on this subject,
and goes farther for the euaotmeut of
•tats a board of health law to provide
against the spread of contagious dia
•esses and requires the registration of
births in the state. Such a law baa
always met with defeat at the hands
of the Mormons because they do not
wish to have the birth by s plural
■arises recorded
Ws consider Mormon domination
and church Interference, with the po
lygamous quee ion, the most lmpor
taut Issues that have come before the
people for settlement since slavery
days. We are gratified to see one of the
two great parti os of this state ami aa
tlon have the oourage to come out in
the opeu and give the people an op
portunity to express their disapproval
of these crimes against morality and
Auericau citizenship. The eyes of
Abe nation are turned towards Idaho,
auad the result at the {Kills will lie
watched with iuteuse Interest. Will
the Oem of the mouutalus be weighed
In the balance ami not found want
ing? Wo believe Hint when Novem
ber votes are counted we can say to
the World that Idaho stands for the
purity of tlie home and good Ameri
can cltkaeusliip. Tho question is uot
so much one of party as of morality.
There are many oilier important
features of the democratic platform
Which ap|ieal to the good sense aud
Judgment of the (>eople.
MORMON DELEGATE TALKS.
Ballavas Action of Democrats
Will Benefit His People.
"I shall talk during this cauipalgu
SM 1 voted in the Senate, and i'll vote
In the senate as I talk In this cam
paigu. Republicans have ouiy won
applause by carrying out the princi
ple* of democracy. Two years
hence, when our peerless leader, Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, is elected pres
idaut, ws shall ha vs an opiHirtunity
to apply all the democratic principles
for ths welfare of our country."
James K. Hart, one of the two ex
cluded Mormon delegatee from Bear
Lake conuty publicly admitted that
his church Interfered In politics in
the presence of a group of SO or 30
man In front of the Hotel Idaho.
Mr. Hart Is quoted as saying he was
personally satisfied with the action of
•he convention In declaring hi* coun
ty without consistent representation.
He said It was s regretable fact that
the Mormons do interfere in the poli
tics of Idaho in the interest of the re
publican party. Personally, and as
a democrat, b# expressed regret that
this was a fact, at the earns time pro
leasing the highest degree of loyalty
to his church. He said he was glad
to so* the democrats take a radical
rtnnd against the prluoiple of church
interfetu-mv at this time, and he be
lieved the action of the convention
would have salutary influence upon
church authorities. It would al

to the extout of making them think
seriously about ihelr rights of citi

tliut w<>ol<l result In great good to the
Mormon and to the state, as this con
vention was being watched with a
great deal of interest. He believed
this act of partial disfranchisement
by one of the great political parties
would result iu the actual withdraw
al of the Mormon church from poli
tics, not alone iu Idaho, but in all
the states. It was realized that the
time had almost arrived for reform,
and this radical HOtlon was all that
was required to branch the move
ment.
Macadamize Streets.
Word luia been received that the
s{>eciul ugent and demonstrator for
the Buffalo-Pitts Bteam Roller Co.,
will arrive In this oity Monday of
next week, and spend a week, during
which time lie will demonstrate the
use of the largo roller recently pur
chased by the county, for the purpose
of improving the roads.
The rook crusher, which has been
under the management of W. A. An
drew, who was appointed as a special
comlmttee by the council to take this
mutter in charge, lias been set up,
and the necessary prelimenary work
oompletd, but owing to the loss of
one of the belts the machine will uot
be used until next week.
Mr. Andrew stated that whon the
demoustrtator arrived they would
commence umcadmlzing Sherman
street at the west limits of the vil
lage, which is near the Idaho Hotel,
aud would work up Bherumu street,
{Hitting in a macadam read bed with
thloknss of five inches at the curb
ing, and eight inches ut the crown.
It is the iutention of the city to ma
cadamize Sherman street from the
west limits of the village to Fifth
street, but the work will uot be con
tinned that far, unless the uouuoil
finds it satisfactory.

COALS OF FIRE
[Original.1
Denton Adams went west fully equip
ped, so far as education goes, to take a
prominent stand. He had not been
In his new borne long when a vacancy
occurred on the school board, and he
was nominated for the position. Wom
en voted In that section, and a woman
was put up against Adams.
Boss Day was the seemingly Inap
propriate name of the woman candi
date—a name that smacks rather of a
bright morning In a flower garden
than a woman with assurance suffi
cient to stand for election In a heated
campaign. When Mr. Adams heard
the name of his opponent be pictured
In his mind a blushing girl whom to
treat with the ordinary campaign argu
ments would be a profanation, and he
would have withdrawn bad be not
pledged himself to run If nominated.
But when he heard that Miss Day was
running her campaign with free at
tacks on the unfitness of the opposite
sex to decide upon matters pertaining
to children and his own unfitness In
particular he girded up his loins for
the fight.
Mr. Adams was on his way to speak
at D. The town was off the line of any
railroad, and Adams was obliged to
travel by coach. Whether It Is the
seats facing each other, the narrow
compass or the ruts, there Is some
thing about a stagecoach that throws
people together. The candidate had
by this time talked so much about the
election that be was tired of It, and
since he was not known to the few pas
aengsrs present he was enabled to keep
his Identity a secret.
lie was destined on this trip to meet
his fate. Opposite him sat a girl ap
parently eighteen — she was twenty
two—as pretty as a red apple and as
modest as a pansy. A man may meet
thousands of women without being In
the slightest degree affected by any
of them. Then suddenly he may look
upon a face and know that It belongs
to the woman he wishes to be his wife.
It was so with Adams when he looked
upon the face of this girl. He soon
■craped an acquaintance and, chatting
In unrestrained stagecoach fashion, aft
er a time drew forth an Intelligence, a
fond of Information that surprised
him. He wae not to speak at D. till
the next night, and when the young
lady got off at M. he concluded to
alight at the same town. She told him
that the had an engagement for the
flrat part of the evening, but would be
happy to have him call at her aunt's,
where she would stop after 9 o'clock.
As be walked to the hotel he eaw no
tices posted of a meeting to take place
that evening for the discussion of the
school question, and Miss Day would
speak.
Being curloua to see and hear bis op
ponent, Adams after supper strolled
around to the school house where the
meeting was to take place, and. not
wishing to be known, be drew up bis
coat collar, kept on his hat, which he
pulled down over his eyes, and took a
back seat. An old fanner opeued the
meeting with a short address, theu In
troduced the speaker of the evening,
the candidate for school commissioner,
who arose from one of the front seats
and took the stand.
▲dams saw the young girl with whom
be had traveled.
For half an hour be sut quietly, hear
ing himself denounced ns one who,
coming from the effete east, with Its
old fashloued educational customs,
thought to Introduce them among the
children of the young and vigorous
west. This was the burden of her nr
gument for this particular evening.
The address was well rounded, aud
long before It was finished Adams
knew that It had been written and
committed to memory. When the meet
ing was closed he sat till the speaker
had passed out lu company with an
angular woman with a square jaw
and a glittering eye, who looked far
more like a candidate thau Miss Day.
Adams followed his opponent home,
and a few mluutes after she had en
tered he rang and was admitted. The
angular woman had gone on to another
house, and he found Miss Day alone.
He told her that be bad been to the
meeting and had heard her speak, but
did not mention that she had been ad
dressing, among others, her opponent.
He found her as charming as she bad
been In tbe coach and not at all like
the woman who could apeak harshly of
any one, even the man who waa try
ing to get the office abe coveted. He
told her that "thla man Adams" was to
BMk at D., a few miles farther on,
the next night, and ah* resolved to go
and hear him.
The next evening before the zpeaker
entered one of the campaign commit
toe annonneed that to avoid Interrup
tions no one would be allowed to en
ter or depart until the candidate bad
finished his address. Only n few per
sous availed them selves of this notice
to get out before the speaker entered
and took the stand. He kept his eyes
•xsd on two ladles occupying n back
asst and his whole address waa a
modest statement of his own defi
cienclee for school commissioner and
an encomium upon the merits of hi*
opponent
Surprised as waa the audience at this
address, the other voters, when they
read a report of It. all were still more
astoiiished to learn that Miss Day had
withdrawn from the race, and. having
