The following letter from Colonel
Wall, stating his reasons for repudiat-
ing Mr.. HALEY, was published in this
mornings issue of the Democratic or
gan in this city:
BULLION, Oct. Is, 1884.
EDITOR IDAHO DEMOCRAT, Boise
CITY: The paragraph quoted from
the BOISE Republican, and published
in the Democrat OF the 18th instant,
crediting me with the support of
Singiser, is untrue IN fact or implica-
ton. Mr.. Haley, having publicly ex-
pressed unqualified endorsement of
the platform and resolutions adopted
by the Alturas Democracy (Which
were rejected by the Territorial Con.
vention), and having likewise pledged
earnest support at all times to all legal
efforts to expunge from Americas
fair face the foulest of all curses,
"polygamous Mormonism," and being
assured of his sincerity, his candidacy
has my unqualified support. Never
theless, l shall continue to resist the
policy of Idaho Democracy-admit-
ting DISTINGUISHED polygamists to her
conventions - and will support no
candidate known to be dependent for
his nomination upon such support.
E. A. WALL.
Every word of the foregoing was
received by that editor, but instead of
publishing the justification he had de-
manded, garbled assortment of my
words, with my name appended, ap-
pears with editorial comments in the
issue of that paper Of the 22d instant,
as follows:
| COLONEL WALL.
"A dispatch from Colonel +. A.
Wall, at Bullion, to the Idaho Demo
crat, was received at ESQ on Satur-
day evening last, too late to appear in
Sundays issue, for the reason that
the edition was nearly all worked
when it arrived"
The dispatch reads:
"rhe paragraph in the Idaho Dem
ocrat of the 10Th, quoted from the
Boise City Republican, crediting me
with the support of Mr.. Singiser, is
untrue in fact or implication. On the
contrary, the candidacy of Mr.. HALEY
has my unqualified support"
Thus 1t will be seen that every
qualifying condition upon which m.
support Of Mr.. HALEY depended, wa.
carefully eliminated aud not allowed
to go to the public. The reason foI
this is manifest. The Idaho Demo
crat is owned aud controlled absolute
" by the so-called Democratic Terri
toriul Central Committee, * and wa
assigned to that post because Of it,
servility to the beastly dogmas Of thu
Mormon Church. = Every member o
} that committee received bis appoint
ment from its late chairman-Mr
Ilailey-after his nomination to thu
position he now seeks. Three mem
bers of the late committee-of which
Mr.. Haley was chairman-were know
polygamists. Three of the presen
committee are Mormons, and one a
least reputed polygamist. The edi
tor Of that paper was chairman OF tn

surprising that the humiliating specta
Gle presented by Mr.. Hailey's unqua

hated resolutions should be suppresse
by that editor. "He was there fc
that purpose" and it will not do to sa
