Idaho Democrats Oppose
Moruioii Clinch
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Couer de Alene, Idaho, Aug. 8 ? Tbe
democratic convention will adopt a
plan:* providing for. the re-enactment
of the test oath for the purpose of dis
franchising: Mormons and for the ex
termination of polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation in Idaho. The fight
against the Mormons was waged with
bitterness and without the purpose of
compromising at any stage of the road.
The committee on ciedentials rejected
all Mormon delegates, refusing to give
them seats in the convention in every
instance where there was a contest
tiled by gentiles. It is held that the
Mormons are not true citizens of the
republic but that they o'aim their first
allegiance is due the church. It is also
held that the church as a body, while
its members try to gain standing as
democrats for the purpose of controll
ing the partv, has supported the re
publican ticket.
The credentials committee had an all
night, session on a boat in the lake.
Several times the delegates almost
came to making sourdoughs blows.
WAR ON
North Carolina City in
Battle Array
Charlotte, N. C., Aug, 8? This city is
in a state of seige. Monday night a
mob of 2,000 men broke into the county
jail and took three negroes who were
being tried for the murder of the Lewis
family last July, out and hung them,
afterwards riddling them with bullets.
Gov. Glenn at once ordered out the
state militia and directed that all the
leaders in the lynching bee be arrested.
George Hall, leader of the lynchers,
and others were arrested last night.
A mob of about 2,000, composed in large
part of those who participated in the
lynching, was formed at once for the
purpose of releasing Hall and the
others. The governor ordered the
militia to hold the prisoners and to
shoot to kill in case an attempt was
made to rescue them.
The mob has been held at bay since
its formation last night. Bloodshed is
feared.
Sena'or Overman and other leading
citizens tried to prevent the mob Mon
day night from carrying out its lynch
ing program. The mob refused to
listen to the senator who attempted
time and again to speak to it.
The feeling is running hight. The
governor is getting loyal support from
the b st citi/.ens.

JIM WOULD TAKE AWAY
SKAOWAV'S COURT
Through channels about which there
can be do question word comes to Skag
way that an at'empt will be made by
Juneauites to have congress repeal the
provision for holding court at tbis place.
It is said the influence of officials of the
federal government of high degree will
be secured to help along the scheme.
There-are several causes to which the
determination to do this harm to Skag
way can be traced. One is the desire of
Juneau to secure all the benefit of
Skagway's legal business. It is in line
with the policy of J uneau to take a grab
at everything in sight. Another pur
pose Is to punish Skagway for spoiling
the plans of a little gang of torles to
run the Alaskan election in the interest
of themselves and the town of Juneau.
It is said the plan is to have congress
amend the law requiring the court to be
in session all the time and providing
that juries can be called at places and
times to suit the pleasure of the court.
This accomplished and the federal
officials will be depended upon to do the
balance.
