Mr. HAILEY'S DUPL(CITY.

Colon+i Wall Deceived into support
Ing Him.
Upon the announcement of Mr.
Hailey's nomination by the Mormon
gag-law caucus, the TINES jokin9l,
advised that gentleman to adopt tn.
policy Of denouncing the Mormons il
the anti Mormon counties, and of in
dorsing them in the pro- Mormon
counties. Mr.. HALEY has adopted
that line Of tactics, and followed i,
throughout the campaign. While
here, he repeatedly stated from the
hustings that he would not accept u
nomination at the hands of polygx-
mists or their sympathizers, that he
would not accept their votes if cast
for him, and that he would do his best
to land every polygamist in the Peni
Tertiary.
But all the Democratic papers are
silent on that point. Not one of them
dare publish Mr.. Hailey's denuncia-
tions of the Mormons, and the Boise
Democrat-Mr. Hailey's own paper
even refuses to publish word on
the subject when directly appealed to.
Last Saturday, Colone! Wall went
to the expense of telegraphing a
lengthy letter on the subject to the
Boise Democrat. The next DAVIS is
sue of that paper did not even NEIL
ton the dispatch!
Last Wednesday Enquiries having
been telegraphed to Boise about the
matter in the meanti,ne), the Demo.
crat, unable to deny the existence of
the dispatch, published the following
brief note:
The paragraph in the Idaho Demo-
GRAFT of the 18th, 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.
E. A. WALL.
Colonel Wall never sent such a dis.
patch. 1t is, therefore, despicable
forgery! What Colonel Wall did tel
egraph was the following:
BULLION, October Is, 1884.
EDITOR IDAHO DEMocRAr, BOISE
CRY: The paragraph quoted from the
Boise Republican, and published in
the Democrat Of the 18th instant,
crediting me with support of Mr..
Singiser, is untrue in fact or implica-
ton. Mr.. Haley, having publici y ex.
pressed unqualified indo9sement of
the platform and resolutions adopted
by the Alturas Democracy (which were
rejected by the Territorial Conven-
tion), and having likewise pledged
earnest support at all times to all
legal efforts to expunge from Ameri-
cas- far face the foulest of all curses,
''polygamous Mormons," 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 disfranchised polygamists to her
conventions-and will support no can
didate known to be dependent for his
nomination upon such support.
f. A. WALL.
1t will be seen that Colonel Walls
support is very positively qualified ::
"Mr. HALEY, having publicly ex.
pressed unqualified Endorsement of
the platform and resolutions adopted
BY the Alturas Democracy" etc.,
land III will support no candidate
known to be dependent for his nom
nation upon such Mormon] sup
port"
Mr.. Hailey's duplicity is apparent.
And the most astonishing thing about
it is the evident fact that he has de-
,eived such a man as Colonel Wall
INTO supporting him.
But the voters of Alturas county
will not be so easily deceived. And
IN the fourth of November they will
prove it to Mr.. Haley and his adher-
