lease the northern counties should be
sloughed of, nor could he be prepared
to say where the injustice to the citi-
zens of the southern portion Of Idaho
could cut figure. The questions of
unequal division OF territory, the max
ing of Washington too large and un-
stately and the question of requiring
reimbursement Of districts we would sup
pose could be easily answered by what
has occurred in all cases where boun-
dairy lines of Territories have heretofore
been changed. 1t would seem from
the omission in Brents' telegram Of the
"bad precedent" objection at fret urged
in the committee, that that objection
had been anniliated by Brenss as stated
by the Washington correspondent of
the Walla Walla Union, and that the
committee had been forced to abandon
the same and tina. the committee. should
now set up such reasons as set forth
in Brents' telegram, shows conclusive.
ly that the Mormon danger of South
Idaho has been misreprcsented to them
and it is barely possible that either
Gov. Neil or Singiser or both have
pressed this Mormon danger before the
committee too strongly for We cannot
suppose that Ainslie, who owes his cleo
ton to the Mormon vote and that Of
the ring men in both the Democratic
and Republican parties Of South Idaho
would dare say to the committee that
Idaho WAS in danger of being Mormon
lied if the north should % to Wash
ington. From all that appears Ainslie
and other Democrats in Congress who
are really opposed to the admission Of
any State, with Republican tendencies,
were perfectly willing that Neil or any
other Republican should urgs the
mormon tendencies to Idaho 10 case
the North should go to Washington,
whether the statements we're true or
false SO long as the effect would be to
embarrass the bill for admission of
Washinton at this session. We an.
prehend therefore that the true inward.
ness Of these objections and how they
were used and urged, is not yet disclos-
ed. Some Of Neil's friends deny that
he had anything to do in raising these
objections. There has been too much
written and tclegraphed from Wash.
ington charging the fact that this de-
NAL has but little weight with
us, and il Neil is now laying his
plans for running as the candidate
Of the Republicans Of Idaho for
Delegate in Congress, by reason Of his
having given evidence against the Nor
mons and therefore since Congress has
seen ft to enact againt their Polygamy
system, he is entitled to q nomination
from the Republicans, we suggest to
him and his friends that he refuts these
charges made against him that he in.

ner against her wish t. 60 to Washing
ton, otherwise any aspiration he may
have for a position from the people of
Idaho, will be met with fat refusal
from the people of the North. II it
be possible thing the people of North
Idaho will search out their enemies in
official positions. whether in the Terri.
tory, Congress or elsewhere. We have
urged our cause always openly and
boldly because it was just, and have
in no manner sought to surround the
question with false issues, and we
intend to continue thus till w either
succeed or till all hope Of success ia
lost beyond redemption. Hereafter
to crafty the whims of those who my
think that the objections contained in
the above telegram are valid, we shall
take them up seriatim and show their
fallacy.
