LEWISTON. IDAHO TERRITORY THURSDAY April 1s 1ss3

lehSth IN ms message and urged ticgis.a- |
ton, and the aaex-Governor makessan ass
Of himself when he assumes any other
position before an intelligent people. Per
haps he thinks.the people Of North Idaho !
CT that portion of them who read the
News are greatly lacking in intelligence.
But We know of some of the readers
Of that paper who have intelligence enough
to discern that such a reason for not urr-
ing or suggesting to the Legislature the
annexation question after the vote it had
received was sham and fraud, not
withstanding the editor Of the Ne,cs in
his editorial fully endorses all the OK
Governor has said in his letter. AS to
whether or not the ex-Governor's inter-
view with Mr., Toner as reported by us
was correct, which the Ex-Governor seems
to deny, we personally know not, Our au-
thority was Mr.. Toner himself, when he
first returned from Boise, and Mr.. Tom
ers narration Of the fact, was in the pres
ence of some half dozen others than our
self, and as Mr.. Toner is Il constant read
er Of the TELLER, if our version of the
affair had not been substantially true, Mr.
Tomor would have called our attention tc
the matter long before Ex-Governor coult
have seen the article. Hence we think
the ex-Governor was not misrcpresentet
in the least But the following quotation
from his letter reveals the true status
of the Ex-Governor, to wit:
"My memory may be sadly deficient
but | do not believe there is single in
stance, either directly or indirectly, Of my
having advocated, advised, or consented
to the disintegration of the Territory, ol
even the annexation of any portion Of il
to any other Territory or State
Perhaps the ex-Goyernor's memory has
been as trcaeherous to him as it was when
he told in public speech from the bal
colny of the Raymond House in Lewiston,
that he did not remember Of having sent
letters to the Territorial Committee at
Washington opposing the annexation
Of North Idaho to Washington, which we
charged upon him. One Of which letters,
as we have been credibly informed, or a
copy thereof was short time ago in the
hands of ex-Delegate Ainslie. From all
we find developed in the public career
of the ex-Goyornor he will not do to tie
to, as man Of unimpeachable veracity,
or faithful fidelity to his manifest pledges
and while we had no hand in his remov-
al from Office, and did not, know that
anyone was seeking his removal, we are
now well convinced that an actual good
radiance for the welfare of the Territory
has been secured by removal, and it will
take more than his letter to the Ne,cS, or
Parker's endorsement Of the letter, TO
convince the people of the North that the
TELLER when charging him with trcachcry
to this people On the annexation question,
is not true. If the TELLER don't man.
age It's columns right on the annexation
question, then Of course it need not stir
up i'll temper in the Ex-Governor who
now admits that he never favored the
mpaSUro.

TRUTH.

-
Ex-Gov. says: "The election Of Nj.
Singiser, under the circumstances, u i
no respect due to his position on the ques-
ton under discussion, and simply demon
stratcs one thing beyond peradventure,
namely, that there were other issues Pc
sensed to the people Of Southern Idaho,
so called, Of such transcendcnt import
anec that his pledges to your people wees
generally ignored and almost entirely lost
sight Of. The only affect Of those pledges
was 70 largely reduce his vote outside x
North Idaho
II the ex-Gov.'s position be true, 4 =
remarkable that the ex-Gov. and ~
meeting the night before Sing,s4 IN
for the north, should have decided thse
without the vote Of the north, SingisR
would lack from 500 to 700 votes Of eleo,
ton, according to the best estimates they
could make, and MIR. Singiscr 30 repre-
scnted to US when he came here, and
he further said that On endorsements 81
the northern convention, would stimulate
every republican Of the south, q vefy
many Democrats were favorable to allow
ing North klaho to 20 to Washingtoa,
and did not like Ainslie's position On the
question. Singiser honestly and frankly
told us here that it was not expected thaA
he could possibly be elected without ffon
500 to 700 majority in the north, but with
that northern majority it was thought
he could be elected in the whole Terri
| tory, and that if he endorsed annexaii0A
fully, his friends told him that he wouA
lose not more than from 100 10 $50 Re-,
publican votes in the south, which would
be largely counterbalanccd by the gaining
of Democratic votes, there from those wAo
were favorable to annexation, and that 4
he was elected, his election would b
wholly due to the endorsement BY tAe
northern convention and support Of tAa
northern people, while he was standing
upon the annexotion platform. Chair
man John A. Pos. Of the territorial r.
publican central committee, expressed sin-
liar sentiments in letter which wc nv
hold, and part Of which We pnblished
before election. The result showed fally
that these estimates and predictions were
right. As soon as the northern convca-
ton endorsed Mr.. Singiser, every ncws-
paper in the south made it public that Ae
had endorsed annexation, and commended
that endorsement, except one or two
which were unqualifedly committed %
the fortunes of Mr.. Ainslie, and thus M.
Singisers election was carried by abosE
1900 majority in the north, or nearly u
the votes polled, both republican anA
democratic, and by nearly as many M
1ority in the southern counties, and nov
forsooth this ass of an ex-Gov., John R
Neil, pretending to be clothed in . koa's
skin has the shameless audacity to pso-
claim that Singisers pledges to the axth
were ignored by the voters Of the soutA,
and that their effect was to largely ~
duce his vote outside Of North Idaho
Such attempted pcrversion Of facts y Do
spieable in any public man. O, shanasl

A Show for Success

Since the democratic party has
resolved TO abandon republican
means aud fall back on the sound Old
democratic policy Of principles,
not men" it stands fair chance OF
winning ii glorious success next year,
The war-hurrah days are over. a
man will not again be nominated for
the presidency by the democracy
simply because he had been at one
time a scientific and successful butch
err of his fellow men. The democ-
racy OF the future will select its can
dldates rather because they are not
successful warriors, but because they
are in themselves, representative OF
come known aud safe principle Of
government, or because their lives
have been spent in such a way as to
show that the chief study has been
how to benefit not destroy, how to
make happy their fellows not to pile
misery upon misery and sorrow upon
sorrow upon them. The democratic
candidate of the future must be die
tinguished rather for the character
he has made by the measures
he has offered, looking rather to thu
saving than the dissipating of thu

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT TACOMA
daring highway robbery took place
about a mile west of town last night
under the following circumstances. A
gentleman whose name is withheldl was
riding ON horseback from his ranch. To-
GATED about nile out of town, towards
the city about half past 10 o'clock. when
within about three-quarters of a mile
of town his horse shied at s0me object
standing in the shadow of stump,
which, upon nearer approach, proved to
be a man. Upon reaching him the
gentleman said, "GOod evening, sir,
which the man answered in the same
words. just as he horse reached him
the man caught hold Of the bride, and
presented revolver at his head, and al
the same time commanded him 70
throw up his hands. Another man then
made his appearance and searched tne
gentleman ON horse back, taking from
him about $45 in cash and a i've
shooter Smith 4 Wesson revolver, the
first man meanwhile menacinR hlm
with the revolver. After searching all
his pockets the robbers ordered the gen
tleman TO move on. which he according
| ly did, being only too glad to escape
their clutches. The gentleman says ne
could mot recognize the robbers. though
thew were not disguised in any way. Nc
effort was made last evening to exec,
their capture, though something ought
| To have been done towards that end
should such men remain at large, peo
| ple will be afraid to frequent the coun
trs roads after night, and the surround
ing country may gain an unenviaois

THE OLDEST GOOD TEMPLAR IN
THE WORLD.

Mr.. John Webster, of this city, and a
member of Seattle Lodge, No. 6, .. q.
r., is the oldest Good Templar in the
world. having been a member of the
order for thirty years. He WAS initiated
in Serbia Lodge, ia Oswego county,
New York, in 1853, two years after the
order originated. In 1854 and 1866 he
was District Deputy for OswegO county
and in 1855 was delegate to the Grand
Lodge of New York, at that time the
head of the order. The Grand Lodge
that year was held at Ithica. The fol
lowing year the Grand Lodge was held
at Courtland, where he again attended
as a delegate; and in 1867 he was elect
cd Grand Worthy Chief of New York.
ID the fall of that year he came to Puget
Sound and settled ON farm ON White
river, where, through his efforts, White
River Lodge, No. =. one of the pioneer
lodges of the Territory, was instituted,
