ED. WORLD: In the. Onion of the 18th inst, |
see notice to the publicaof my having voted the
Democratic ticket in Boise county at the late cleo
tiou, aud that having so voted | did an act con-
trary to law. If the notice alluded to does not
contain exactly that meaning its face, 1t cer@
tainly does mean just that.
did. for the first time since l have been resi-
dentof Idaho Territory, vote at the August cleo
ton, and | voted an open ticket. Last year, |
went to the polls at Idaho City but did not vote,
because thought | had no right to under the law
not having been in the Territory long enough,
after my absence theretrom with the purpose then
of never returning. The Judges-all-of that
election precinct decided that could vote. but
thought differently. Last Autumn, when went
to Oregon, intended, as | do now, to return to
Idaho. left business with friends in Idaho, and
was in communication with them during the win
ter, repeatedly stating my determination to return
early i'll the Spring. ss
/ will now untold some of the reasons why
Mclaughlin puts in this dig at me in the article.
Ii will be noticed that Gov. Weller is alluded to
in the same paragraph, but his having voted in
Idaho with less than four months actual residence
is passed over lightly, and am made the subject
for MeLaughlin's shillaIeh. l did vote for MIR.
Crutcher. All, that's WHAT'S the matter Nay,
more. . ran broad ink line over the name Of
the drunken editor of the Union VINO happened to
be Oh the Regular Ticket ~ Tor Prosecuting At
torney. | also put an exceedingly broad line over
the name of another Union ~ scoundrel on the
Regular Ticket. Did not vote for Mr.. Shepherd,
on the ground thai the regular gentleman had his
ma me there to swap for voters tor Gray. Shop
herd is a Democrat. Why may | not charge the
straight Republicans with bad notions for print
ing his name on their ticket?
| voted for Crutcher because he is a friend and
gentleman. ] did not vote for Gray, Mclaughlin
and that other man, simply because l have done
for each in turn that which would draw from each
OF their competitors on the Democratic ticket
expressions OF gratitude, instead of curses and
calumny, such as have patiently endured from
the cowardly fellows for long time.
One person Oh the Union ticket | could not vote
for, because knew him to be a thief. l had told
him so privately, coolly, dispassionateIy and adj
vlsed him to reform. I do not believe he wilt
is his nature. lido not think politics has anything
to dc with his peculiar idlosyncrasy. He, like a
certain chum Of his who the Union party endorse,
simply because he has been appointed to Office in
accordance with the Platform is an ingrained
rogue and will just as certainly cheat and steal,
Wren good opportunity is presented, as will
young duck take water. In fine, I believe the
Union ticket contained some first rate men for
such Il voted and none others.
Ri kpatrIck was traded off by the leading poll
iticias Of Boise county; he thinks and says,
and he is present. on his way to Portland.
The boat is ready to start, aud must say good.
