AN '1nDDPnND1NT" HiRzL1no

"Hon." w. s. Taylor, who travels.
with Hon. John Hailey, and announces,
himself us an independent candidate for
the Delegateship, is one Of those political
charlatans that bobs up every now and
then. Known too well in his own party
to get preferment, he prostitutes his tai
ents by selling them to an opposite party
under the Independent cloak. His speech
here proved that he was in false posi-
ton and echoed lie. His opening and
closing remarks were for John HALEY,
not for himself, yet he had the impudeDce
and brass-plated check to announce his.
independent candidacy with the glibneas
Of clown. He dwelt long on the ssbject
of carpet-baggcrs aud the system which
foists outsiders upon tho people Of the
Territories as officers. No one approves
of the system, but such mountebank =
Taylor should not set himself up a
pioneer to slur older residents than him
self.--Idaho Sun.

of dividing the Republicans Of the North
