FACTS VS.. FICTIONS.

An article appears in an Omaha paper
containing the substance OF Il conyersa-
ton with one of the officers of the Ore
gon Short Line railroad in reference to
the advantages of Idaho The prospects
of this Territory are set forth in ex-
tremely hattcring terms-perhaps des-
cribed in too strong and alluring Ian
gunge. 1t is true that the agricultural
inducements of the Territory are very
great, especially in some of the valleys
and prairies of the Central portions of
Idaho; aud the uplands of Western Ida
no as grazing country have no superb
or anywhere. Large tracts of these pub
lie lands are still unoccupicd and subject
to entry under the pre-. emption, timber
culture and desert land acts, which laws
are still in force. This is the time when
these acts are peculiarly available for
! the Eastern settler, as in all probability
they will be repealed next winter. The
| Language in regard to the mineral wealth
of Idaho is not exaggerated; but the i'm
migrant who comes out from the East
should not expect to pick mp golden
| boulders, or stumble on n silver mine
on every mountain. Notwithstanding
these Western Territories and States
have been so long known, worked, and
| described there seems n strange misap-
! prehension in the minds of u majority
| of the people ON the other side of the
! Missouri about this side of the Cont
nent. 1t Is difficult for them to COM
prehend country so different in APP
pearanee and resources MS this from that
| TO which they have been accustomed.
! Too many arc ignorant and gullible
enough TO belisye any fabulous rumor
that strikes them; and when they find
themselves here, and the fictions dis
appear before realities, we have a grum-
bling. dissatisfied settler of no value to
the country. Idaho needs no exagger-
alton of its merits. An over statement
is delnsive and injurious, often working
immediate aud ultimate wrong to the
country. We had an instance OF this in
the first settlement of the Yankee Fork
country Hundreds sacrificed them
selves, their families and their property
to reach section which was written up
beyond all reason or sembance of truth
The late Coeur d'Alene stampede to q
region known nearly twenty years ngc
to be destitute of any extensive placer
mines is another illustration of the USE
lessness OF straining the facts to Secure
immigration. Such an Immigration
come only to leave and curse the coun.
try ana the writer's whose overdrawf
| pictures seduced them to it. This Ter.
rtory, nor any other, IRE wholly parad
SEES. A plain, truthful statement of fact
in relation totheir advantages is prefera
, Bile to fanciful exaggerations breeding

lous.

that other things are more important.
Our columns are large enough, or ought
to be, to care for every just interest con-
neeted with the campaign, and we shall
be untrue TO Republican principles II
we fail to do our whole duty. The
editor of the Republican is a member OF
the Ohio Legislature, and another year
his name will doubtless come up for re-
nomination, in which event we should
like to inquire If he would be satisfied
II, In case of contest, we should tender
him the kind OF negative support he
seems inclined to give Mr.. Webber.
We do not see how any Republican can
occupy a neutral position in this con-
test. His influence must be In favor or
against, and a man who announces an
unwillingness to be a party to either
side Of the controversy, or admit any
thing to his columns in support of a
candidate, ought to be able to see that
he is indirectly contributing to his de-
feat. 1t Nrpears to us that the position
is untenable and unjust. Is it possible
that Mr.. Washburn, who now repre-
sents In the Legislature the Republicans
of Lorain County, is willing to con-
tribute to the election Of Mr.. Sharp, q
Democrat, by q half.hearted, equivocal
support of Mr.. Webber. However, as
Mr.. Washburn for more than thirty
years has been invariably true to his
colors, always in the front rank In the
support Of the Republican party and its
interests, we cannot think he will fail
us now, and we believe that as the cam
paign progresses, he will be found work.

If these boilers would stop and consider
for moment upon what Il slight pretext
they are refusing to sustain the action Of
the convention, II does seem that they
would cease their opposition and 60 TO
work for the whole ticket If the course
of these boilers is followed, there will
soon be no use of calling a convention to
put in nomination candidates. II every
man votes his own preference without
concert of action, no one could be elected
as against an organization that unites in
the support of one man. The example
that is being set by those who heretofore
have largely directed the party, is most
pernicious and can but result in great
injury to the Republican party, not only
this year but in the future. Let it become
rule that men who take part in the
deliberations of convention and simply
because their man is not nominated, or
because some things are said or done that
do not exactly please them, they are at
liberty to organize bolt and join the
enemy and defeat part of the ticket, how
many conventions would be held without
having It's boilers. There is no more occa-
sion for dissatisfaction at the late conven.
tion, than can be found at almost any
convention when the canvass has been as
earnest as this. Can it be true that the
leaders of this bolt are so blind as not to
see that their action imperils more OR less
the election Of many other candidates on
the ticket. All good Republicans should
demand halt and unite our whole force
and hurl our combined strength against
our common enemy, the Democratic party.

thousand dollars was not paid by Mrs.
Hinckley to settle the criminal case, and
that she twas informed and advised
that by no possibility could conviction
be obtained, but that she paid It to get
rid OF the whole controversy" is little
strange in view Of the fact that he
claims the whole controversy was not
to be settled, viz: the criminal charge.
It is entirely incomprehensible to any
but such legal mind as Mr.. Johnson's,
how in view of the fact, as he states,
that no conviction could be had on the
criminal charge, and of his knowledge,
that by no possibility could case be
brought for civil damages If there was
no proof that there had been crime
committed, or for SANDER, on account Of
the law on which requisition for
Hinckley's arrest was obtained, that he
should allow Mrs. Hlnckley to waste
her 81 900 simply by reason Of her anx-
iety to get rid Of the suit and return
home, when by waiting five days longer
the grand jury would have met, the
prosecution would have wholly failed.
the only witness against the defendant
having rctracted her statement, and con-
sequently his honor would have been
completely vindicated. The poor woman
would have saved all but her attorneys
fee, say 5000, and the remaining $500
would have been fair compensation for
remaining in Ohio an additional week.
As an honest man, desirous Of protect
ing the interests of his client, 1t is abb
surd to suppose he would have advised
otherwise. The public will judge
whether the following is not more
reasonable explanation of this case. His
attorneys did not know the state Of the
case against their client, they feared 1t
was strong one, and that he was in
danger of the penitentiary, and that II
would be wise to get rid Of the charge
by the payment of thousand dollars.
The other theory convicB them Of stupid.
ity and dishonesty, in allowing him to
waste his money In the settlement OF a
fictitious and impossible suit for civil
damages or SANDER. Mr.. johnson says
his explanation defends all the parties to
the settlement Of the Hinckley case, that
by 1t no one is injured. Great Heavens
Is the man lunatic? or would he NOT
see that his theory condemns all that
it Is absurd and reflects imbecility and
professional dishonor, If not crime upon
all who were parties to it? So far from
being reasonable and satisfactory We
predict that those who now publish and
defend it will before Chls campaign Il
over be hunting for some cheap petit
fogger who will, for consideration
advise them how to withdraw from
their absurd position.
