KHmARKABLz PRESUMPTION.

In another part OF this paper will be
found platform that has been adopted
by a number of gentlemen claiming to
be the Democratic Territorial Com
mittee." JusJ why this or any political
pS&6Orm should be adopted and issued
at this time Is not made clear by the
. gentlenen. The. Slections are over for
- year. and there is nothing calling
~ any special declaration OF political
principles; there is to be no campaign,
NJ eleotioneering, no anything con-
nseted with parties IN the near future.
Hence. the issuance of the platform"
\ in itself a remarkable roceeding and
enc which should have been accom-
panied by an explanation. In the alb
-szahse of such explanation the public IS
left to guess" for the motive. If we were
to guess, it would be to the effect that
certain Liberals who once upon time
IA the dim distant past, trained with
the Democrats. now that the
Democrats have regained control
e the nation, would like to
reassert their fealty to the party in the
hSpe Of coming in for certain benefits
tzlat il is expected will be conferred upon
Democrats by the incoming administra-
tea. This guess may be faulty; we
may do the gentlemen injustice; but the
circumstances that in Utah they have
been Liberals. and not Democrats, that
they have voted the Liberal ticket and
stumped for the Liberal cause though
new claiming to be Democrats, tend to
CO Affirm the correc.ne of our guess.
There is besides another circumstance
which leads to this assumption. We
have just had a local election for Del
egate TO Congress, when two candidates
were in the field-the Peoples and the
Liberals; but We heard nothing of any
Democratic nominees, of any Dem
Scratic platform, or of any Democratic
Territorial committee. These were all
after considerations and we can
not help the thought that they
came solely from the reflection
that the national contest had been de-
cided in favor Q! the Democracy. 1t
viii be observed that the platform was
not even adopted until after all doubt
regarding The struggle in the States had
been settled by the official count.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-11-18

formed properly and regularly. Then
it would have been Democratic and
Democrats must have accepted it or
withdrawn their allegiance from the
party.
The whole matter. in a nutshell, re-
solves itself into this: A number OF
gentlemen who were Democrats outside
Of Utah, but who have been only Liberals
here, have declared themselves a Terri
torial Democratic Committee; as such
committee they have further assumed
the right to issue platform and to call
it Democratic. As they are not Terri
torial Democrats Committee, and as
they had no right to issue platform,
their action is prescriptions and I'M
authorized. and their pretended Demo
cratic platform is no more to Democrats
than the declaration of an equal number
of Democrats. Liberals or Republicans.

Mn. LELASD.-Yo u said in the TELLER
few weeks ago that Mr.. HALEY was the
author Of that obnoxious road tax law
which requires, in addition 10 the poll
road tax. that every citizen owning prop
erty shall pay SO road tax for every
q 900 worth Of property he owns. l.
that soy A yorRR.
We answer yes. But Boise City aud
Lewiston are exempt from the payment
Of this tax all other property holders have
to pay this additional tax. The property
owners in this county are subject now to
this augmented tax Of e2 for every 81 COO
they own, which in some cases runs up
to $50 additional tax each and every year
and HALEY was the author Of the bill ia
the Legislature and urged it to its beconl-
ing law.

TOO THIN,
LEWISTON, Oct. 20, 1884

LEWISTON, Oct. 20, 1884.
Ed. TELLER:--I have been reading
DR.. Blake's version Of the manner Of OBJ
taining what he gives as written pledge
to support annexation, as published in
the Mirror Of the 18th and the pledge
itself, if it be Hailey's pledge. The Mir
ror says the writing is not Hailey's nor
the signature is notiu Hailey's hand writ
ing but in that Of DR.. Blake. If that be
SO why should not the Mirror man have
the original instead Of copy, inasmuch
as it was addressed to the editor of the
Mirror and to no other person. What
right had DR.. Blake to retain the origin
al himself and simply furnish the Mirror
man copy? The Mirror man has no
evidence that the whole thing is not a
forgery, and if he has not the evidence
bow can he prove to others thas it is not
a forgery Blake says that it was writ
ten within Is minutes after the Mirror
mans letter to Haley on the I'd of Octo-
Der, and that he took it to the Mirror
Office Immediately but the Office was clos
ed on the night of the I'd. He could
have gone on the morning Of the 3rd and
handed it to the editor and had it pub
lishcd in the issue Of the Bird, but he did
not. Then again there was an interval
Of seven whole days before the Mirror
was published on the 10th aud Blake did
not hand ia the letter, slthough living
within stones throw CT the Mirror
office, and no letter appeared and Haley
had left Moscow week before and then
Blake wants five days more, till the 18th,
when he writes letter inclosing, not the
original, which the Mirror man was en-
tiled to but what he claims to be copy
or publication, which appears in the |
Mirror of the 18th with his own COM
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1884-10-23

ments. If Dr. Blake had an original
signed by Haley, Mr.. Editor AIN not
prepared to believe that Dr. Blake would
be 80 wanting in trust in not promptly
| delivering that original, unless he was 50
instructed BY Haley, and if he was 50
instructed there must have been a motive
for the delay, and what was that motive?
cannot comprehend that motive, unless
he did not want it to appear in PRINT so
that il could be used against him in koot-
enai and Shoshone counties, where he
knew there we're few votes opposed to
annexation, and 20 that it could Bot be
used N the southeastern counties among
the Mormons who did not expect him to
make any such personal pledge in writing.
The failure to furnish the original to the
rightful party to whom it belonged. speaks
too strong of its having been a forgery |
Of Haileys name after Haley had left
the North, to appease the feelings of the
Democratic, since be had re-
fused to sign the pledge the Mirror man
had sen; to him. Blakes explanation is
'ltogether too thin to carry conviction of
Is truth. A VOTER.

IN the book OF fame next to that Of William
Shakspere. But many moons waxed and
waned, and he heard nothing from Mr.. Wal
lack. He finally wrote to the cmi
nent manager-wrotc several times, in
fact and was informed on each
occasion that Mr.. Wallack was very
busy, but at the earliest possible mo-
ment would take pleasure in reading the
play. Finally this answer became as thread
pare as an editors coat, and al the expiration
OF twelvemonth Mr.. Wallack wrote, in
answer 10 letter from the author, that he
had conhded the play to his literary man, who
would forthwith read it, and pass Judgment
upon 1t. This transferred the storm.centre
from MIR Walack to the hapless man of let
tiers. After an interval of month or two,
the impatient author wrote letter of inuuiry
10 tne literary man, which the latter an.
swered by saying that he was very busy, but
at the earliest possible moment, &c. A year
PASSED IN this gentle daliance, when suddenly
the literary man ceased answering the authors
letters. This was adding insult to injury,
and the playwright sent down an
lncandescent letter, ordering the immediate
return OF his play under the pains and
penalties of the law. This letter was
answered, and the answer conveyed the mel
ancholY lidings that the literary man was
dead. IL could never be ascertained whether
he hau met his iale by rashly attempting to
read the play, or whether he had preferred
to die rather than to attempt to read it. Anv-
way he was dead, and his widow wrote that
his papers were in great confusion and that
she couldn't find the play.
Then there was trouble in the camp. The
author wanted to 'pough up rocks and
adamantlne iron bars and break the frame
OIL nature lie sent u succession of fiery
letters to Mr.. Wallack, the latter organized
an exploring expedition, and about three years
from inc tlmo 1t was sent in the play was
finally found

touched.
Whatever you do, gentle readsr, do not
write play.
