This was supplemented by few
comments in which the utmost care
was taken not to indorsc the ere.
ports" referred to; but the editor OF
the TIMES took the ground that, mas
much as suspicion Of corruption at
tached to the Chief Justice of Idaho,
he should be removed.
The following day Texas Angel
circulated in this city document of
which the following is copy:
Hon. John r. Morgan. Oxford. Idaho.
DEAR Sightseeing an article in a
local newspaper that cast some reAec-
tions upon you personally, and in your
official relations as Chief Justice of
Idaho, we, the undersigned citizens of

greet and establishment that anyone in

ucssful contradiction, that the article

our people, or any considerable por-
ton thereof, and believe it represents
the views Of the writer and publisher
thereof only. And on behalf of tie
people of HALEY, we take pleasure in
rcpudlating the sentiments expressed
in said article, and of assuring you Of
the esteem and confidence of this
community for YOU, both in your pc.
sonal and official character, in your

We authorize you to make such use

Some persons to whom the paper
was presented refused to sign it, and
informed the editor of the TIMES of
what was going on. That individual
called on Mr.. Angel and asked him
If he was circulating petition in favor
Of Morgan? That person said, nc,
that he was not, and that he knew
very little about Morgan, anyway; but
thought it bad policy to attack him as
he stood in with US on the county seat
decision.
Mr.. Angels acquaintance with or
knowledge of Mr.. Morgan being linn

to some that he took such an active part
in the matter. But the editor of the
TINES is not one Of them. When Mr..
Angel first came to town he materially

choice town property and in securing
some business. Anybody here who
has done the same knows that that is
cause enough to secure Mr.. Angels

AS to the other signcrs of the pc.
tition the writer has nothing to say at
present. They are free agents, and
can therefore sign a thousand such
}apers, If they see fit. II we chose to
'io So, it world not be very difficult to
circulate, and get signatures to a pc

one of them be hanged. Such IA pc
rltiou would receive more than half
a-dozen signatures. AMI, in strict
confidence, we don't mind informing
or readers Of the fact that some Of
them richly deserve hanging.
But to return to Chief Justice Nor.
gan. The TINES had nothing to do
with the charges preferred; it did not
indorse them in any way: and only for
tie interference of the fool friend WHO
got up the document above referred
